Do rooms in your home evolve over time? Mine too. Of course being a design blogger, means I am changing something every week. (Oddly enough, that works for me.) So here is another update on the dining room. I’ve added a new blue rug. I’ve also ordered a new table, but it isn’t here yet, […]
Antique French Clocks and Buying Old Things
I love French clocks. So I found this antique clock in Round Top, but it didn’t have any of the insides in it, meaning it is no longer functional. Did that keep me from buying it? Of course not. I just like it ’cause it’s pretty any way. My rules for buying old stuff: […]

French Grain Sack Chairs
