After working off and on my current bedroom for 6 years, I thought it would be a good idea to look at things you can do to your bedroom to give it a retreat feeling. Here’s my list of things to have in your bedroom. Blackout Shades For the most restful sleep, it’s so nice […]
Farm Bedroom Rug Updates
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 […]

French Country Bedrooms
I do love a French Country Bedroom! If you’ve been to my blog before you know I love long drop bedspreads. In fact, I’ve sewn several. People have asked me many times where to buy one. I didn’t have a great source until now. Now our shop is carrying them! Actually the one we sell […]
