When I think of relaxing summer dinners, I think of grilling cheeseburgers, french fries and corn on the cob. Potato and egg salad sides are also a favorite. However, color always inspires Ma so the other day we went against the usual and went for the unusual! Shish kebobs were in order with lots of […]
Do you ever walk into a room and it moves you but you just don’t know why? It’s hard to pinpoint what makes it so special and inviting. Sometimes you have to really look into the details; details such as the wall moldings. It’s a successful room when it grabs you but not for something […]

I seem to be on a constant quest for the perfect accent pillow. A room can be somewhat plain and ordinary but add a snazzy, colorful pillow and there you have it… a touch of pizzazz! My living room is gray with some tan which is across from the navy dining room with tan curtains. […]
When I think of daisies, I first think of the common ones, Bellis perennis, with white petals and yellow centers. Second, I think of the Gerbera Daisies which are much larger and more colorful. They bloom in almost any color. I love them. Well, I found an abundance of plants that belong to the daisy […]
Large, framed posters add great color to a wall. I love filling a space with such a large piece of art with colors that are usually vibrant and crisp. The poster image shows a modern and fun life of the times. One of the original poster/printmakers is a Frenchman by the name of Henri de […]
I actually had a Colorful Mondays written about another topic but since I woke up to snow falling, I decided to post one about white. More specifically, this post is about Scandinavian interiors. As I look out my office window, all I see is snow falling! It is gorgeous, I must admit. The flakes are […]
