After our last summer dinner party on Labor Day, it was time to say goodby to the Summer is Buzzing decor. After using the dining room for a party is always a good time to change over seasonal decor.

Take Your Time
Some people like things right now, and some are willing to wait. When developing a theme, if you want instant gratification, go ahead and buy the whole look! If that isn’t your way, you don’t have the funds, or you don’t like everything matchy-matchy, enjoy the journey of accruing pieces over time! When developing a… Continue reading Take Your Time

Spring Decor
I had intended to design a new Spring look for the Dining room this year, but the supply chain issues ruined that plan. I hope to have everything by next Spring!
