Office Remodel ~~ Lights, Carpet, Paint!

Office Remodel ~~ Lights, Carpet, Paint!

After I picked out  fabrics, I  choose paint.  It isn't a large room, but the two windows provide lots of natural light so I didn't have to worry about a darker shade making the room feel cave-like.  Don't be afraid to go dark in a small room.

Greetings From the Home Office

My home office has been in a second floor walk-through landing space for years.  Let me explain. Our home is over 120 years old.  The original house had two second story bedrooms.

Vintage Glamour ~ New Year’s Eve Celebration

Whether you ring in the New Year with a big bash or dinner for two, be sure to set your table with flair.  1950’s and 60’s “vintage” style has been very popular in home decorating the past few years.  I predict it will continue to gain in popularity. A great example is this set of gold star dinner and salad plates I found at Goodwill from the … [Read more...]

Ventures in Bathroom Remodeling ~ After

Ventures in Bathroom Remodeling ~ After

  Pam and Darryl finished their bathroom in record time.  They are very happy with the after results ~ very happy! Their early 1960’s bath was stylish when the house was built, but the ceramic tile counter, walls, tub and floor started looking very sad and outdated. What a huge difference a little paint makes.  A soft beige … [Read more...]
