How to Look Like a Fashion Diva Without Even Trying (Much)
Ok, this post is not about decorating your house. It's about decorating YOU.  Hope that's ok - you do want to look hot this season, don't you? Here's my new Liberty of London sundress from Target - I'm hoping it's hot!  Monday morning I heard Cathi Aycock,...
The Nashville Home of artist David Arms
The last time I was in the home of David and Michelle Arms was many years ago. They then lived in an old stone cottage in East Nashville. In a mere 900 square feet, they had packed more design genious and artistic imagination than you would ever see in most large...
Silhouettes
Silhouetted figures were very popular before modern photography. Often those black paper cut-outs were the only way to immortalize faces of the ones you loved. Even after photographic images were common, artists continued making silhouettes of lovely ladies and...
Hot Pink

Seasonal Styling: Easter Tablescapes
 Good Friday! What a beautiful week it has been here in Nashville. I've been working on getting three homes staged to sell this week - everyone's trying to take advantage of the tax break for home buyers that requires a contract by the end of April. Spring is here...
Decorating for Easter
 Easter is probably my favorite holiday for decorating my home. Maybe it's because I love colors like robin's egg blue, butter yellow, grass green, and petal pink.  Maybe it's because I love decorating with nests and birds. Maybe it's because I love daffodils and...
