A Small Change
I like a herringbone pattern in rugs and upholstery. Our living room sofa has a subtle herringbone pattern. It’s been awhile since there has been a rug in the dining room. When I saw this herringbone rug, at Lowe’s I decided to give it a try. The rug works well with the Pottery Barn lined cu...

FAUX ARTS This is similar to how the room looked in 2003 when we first moved in. Originally a larger darker rug was used. It matched the stair runners. There was a glass topped coffee table. Those are the only differences from this photo. The silk plants made for wonderful corner fillers. ...
Hi Pat! Thank you for the update on J and I'm so thankful to hear the meds are working. I'm glad you're busy and having a great life. You know I've always loved your blogs and again, yours was one of the first I discovered. Loved it then and love it now.

It Started With a Lamp This king bed was in our room when we first moved here, during 2003. Eventually we moved it to a guest room, when we wanted a queen bed for the master bedroom. At the time we moved the bed to the guest room we had it painted creamy white at an auto body shop. In N...
