This is another no cost home makeover. It all started with this Aidan Gray ottoman. It was on sale, and I fell in love with it. I ended up using it in the guest apartment below. But then I had an idea, why not move it to the farm? I didn’t plan to use it […]
Playing with Focal Points
Every room needs a focal point. It’s that place your eye goes in a room to rest. This was my problem with the ceiling tiles used above my bed. I like the size of the tiles. They are appropriate for the large size of the king bed, but they had no focal point. Your […]
Final Reveal of Dining room
The thing I love about coming here, is that I don’t need to explain why my dining room looks different every week. (Yours probably does too.) It’s just what we do. This is the reveal of the dining room. But first, I thought you might like to see where the room started. I show you […]

Over 12 French Chairs
I love French chairs. I mean I really, really love them. One reader corrected me and said I can’t LOVE a chair, I can only admire or appreciate it. I don’t know about that. I mean a musician can love a beautiful song, and a painter can love a painting, right? It’s all about perspective. […]
