This room is a combination of French style and teenage sass. The bed is covered in linen toile bedding that I made (but you knew that already, didn’t you?) I guess I should have shown you what the room looked like when I first walked in here. I sometimes think I should put a […]
Home Exterior Details
Today I wanted to show you some of the details we selected for the exterior of our home. We used a gray brick for the front steps that coordinates with the gray stone used on the columns. I’m really happy we went with the brick steps. Although it was a significant expense, I think […]
Giving a Bathroom Spa-like Details
So come on in and I’ll show you my little slice of heaven. I keep my bath salts in this big jar and scoop them out with an antique English tea cup into my over-sized tub. For bath salts I use inexpensive Epsom salts from the grocery store. It makes such a […]

My Daughter’s Frenchy Bedroom
Yes teenagers are known for messy rooms, but this daughter is quite neat. That is why I am able to show you her room. The other daughter’s room is going to take some time and maybe a dumpster before I can show it to you. This is the room belonging to my daughter who […]
Layering Details – Getting the Farmhouse French Look
I’ll be honest with you. It’s true that the devil is in the details. With design, people notice the details.
