Clustering Candles

Almost anything is more visually-interesting when grouped together.  Even the seemingly boring or unimportant item gains respect when put in a formal grouping.  Take for example the humble candlestick.  One or two is nice, but in a group they have more impact.  Group...

Fall into the Season

Want to warm things up for Fall?  There are lots of subtle things you can do to cozy up your home.   Add texture with layers.  Blankets, shawls, fur throws warm up sofas and chairs.  A little fall foliage is nice, as well. There are lots of fur throws out there -...

Crystal Ship Chandelier

Most of you know I have a weakness for chandeliers.  Here's an over-the-top crystal ship chandelier that makes my mouth water!  This room has an overall Scandanavian feel, which I'm always drawn to.   So I thought I'd look around and see how this particular chandelier...

Rethinking Bookcases

Let's think outside the bookcase.   I've found some really interesting ideas for bookcases.  There are many ways to display books and create makeshift bookcases. You can stack things to make a bookcase, you know.  Crates, boxes, even benches and tables.  Check out...

In the Pink

Pink isn't just for little girls anymore.  Really.  It looks totally grown-up when combined with neutrals, modern designs, and clean lines.   Pair pink with brown, gray, or black to ground it.  Pair it with white for a fresh, crisp look. Keep foundation pieces neutral...

Hanging Art Salon Style

It's really hot to hang art groupings salon-style on a wall.  It takes a lot of confidence to start nailing up art in a seemingly hodge-podge kind of way, and you may feel held back by a lack of cohesive art to choose from (or so you think).  But really, you need very...

Signature Style

Signature Style

There's been a lot of talk over the last couple of years about defining your signature decorating style in a sound bite – I think it all started with "Shabby Chic."  Designers and decorators started coming up with 2-word catch phrases for their style.  A few years...
