I just casually mentioned that I needed to move the rugs around, and I heard groans. It’s as if I suggested we take forks and stab our own legs for an hour. Then there was a run down of all of the times the rug was previously changed. Apparently I had used up all of […]
Adding Color and Pattern with Rugs
Although I have several neutral rugs, I am more and more drawn to patterned rugs with color. It’s such a great way to add color and pattern to a room in a big way. Still I try to be careful. I bought a gorgeous dhurrie rug (not that long ago) in red and now have […]
Group Home Bedroom Update

My Real Life and a Ceiling Fan
Well it happened. The well ran dry. I know you might be thinking that I’m talking about the well of creativity, but I’m not. I’m talking about our water well at the the farm. Technically it didn’t run dry, the pump broke, but they couldn’t pull it up or push it down. And the pump […]
