Love conquers all– even when it comes to decorating. Decorating? Yes, decorating. I laugh out loud each time I hear a client complaining about their significant other’s interest in their home’s decor. It wasn’t long ago that I received the shock of a lifetime when my husband vetoed my preferred paint color. The nerve of [...]

QUICK CHANGE: SUPERIOR AVE FAMILY ROOM MAKEOVER
March 23, 2013
A couple of weeks ago I completed a quick change family room makeover involving one of my favorite design elements, grasscloth wallpaper.

Made from natural materials, woven wallpaper is often times a decorative accent itself and doesn’t require much wall art for [...]
LUXURY DESTINATON: YOUR BACKYARD
March 20, 2013
Today marks the first day of Spring and all I can do is think about escaping to a luxury destination. A vacation to Maui, Bahamas, Puerto Rico, or even Miami would suit me just fine.

MASTER BEDROOM MAKEOVER WITH LOOM DECOR – PART 1
March 11, 2013
Which is worse, the fact that the cobbler’s children have no shoes or that the interior designer’s master bedroom looks like this? I know, I know…I hear it from my husband at least once per quarter. “When is it going to be our turn?” Since we moved into our current home in 2009, I’ve managed [...]
THE STARBURST MIRROR YOU NEED TO BUY, TODAY
March 4, 2013
“Start the car, I’ll meet you out front.” Have you ever found a deal so good, you had to buy quickly before someone realized a mistake had been made. It’s like you are a part of a heist.
