As much as I love my previous Spring decor, after using it the last several years I was ready for a new look. I wanted something fresh and bright and decided to go with white vases (large and small), white dishes, and white glassware. For dramatic color, I decided on a series of floral arrangements,… Continue reading Butterflies & Bunnies

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
Party Time!
We will be hosting a Party to celebrate the birthdays of our son and daughter-in-law. They created the guest list and my husband & I along with my parents (both great cooks) will provide the dinner and service restaurant style! To personalize the decor for them, I made a simple change by swapping out the… Continue reading Party Time!

After the season of Lent, commemorating the 40 days Jesus spent fasting in the desert, Christians recognize Palm Sunday and Easter.

The main level was for a Theater and to connect the addition to the existing building, and the lower level was designed as a 2 bedroom in-law-suite to be used as office and storage space. Check out the Themed… Continue reading LOTR Theater
Star Wars Room
I had the idea to theme the large upstairs bedroom room for the grandkids playroom. I wanted a theme they would not outgrow and would stand the test of time, and Star Wars fit the bill. The two main features are the painted galaxy wall and the AT-AT Imperial Walker bunkbed. Other details are custom… Continue reading Star Wars Room
Fall for this Dining Room!
When planning a tablescape, I first choose the theme – a color scheme and décor focal point. For this example, the Fall colors of black, orange, yellow, and burgundy are varied in the florals of sunflowers and mums. The décor focal point is pumpkins/squash. Once those are determined, I start by gathering my decor items… Continue reading Fall for this Dining Room!
