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: […]
6 Ways to Use Bottles in Decor
I’m talking bottles today. Seriously they can add a lot of charm to a home, and unlike some collectibles, they are still fairly inexpensive.

Drying Flowers and Using Them in Design
I love real flowers. I used to have fake flowers in my house, but then realized they in no way compared to real flowers. And so I buy flowers every so often. I was throwing out the flowers when they died, but then realized they were almost as pretty after they dried. […]
New Santos
I admit it. I have a thing for santos. I know, I know some of you think they look a bit creepy. One reader wanted to know what gives with the monk haircut. I’m not a santos expert, so I’m not sure. I just like them. This one has an interesting stance. What […]
