Happy National Chocolate Chip Day!

What a beautiful day! I had no idea about this wonderful national holiday. I guess I need to make a batch of cookies then! I do find it very inspiring to sit down with a plate of warm chocolate chip cookies fresh out of the oven. Do you?

Decorating a Nursery for a Baby and Beyond

It’s so fun to decorate a nursery. There are so many options… especially nowadays. A boring, typical glider was the norm but within the last five years, designers have created new styles. The designs are modern and fashionable and have stunning pattern options. The chair could used for the nursery and into the teen years […]

Set a Formal Mood with a Piano

A piano not only fills a room with beautiful music but also with beautiful design. It’s important to always have the piano on display and not hide it in a corner amongst old, dusty books and blankets. I am always dusting mine and keeping it shiny.

Friday Finds [personal touch]

I found a couple of classics with a customization twist. Two weeks ago, I wrote about the beauty of vintage posters. I love striking, large prints.

Studies show that the color orange creates increased oxygen supply to the brain and enhanced assurance. This vivid color also helps decision-making and enhances confidence […]

Chaise Lounge: To Relax or To Clutter

As it is, I have a glider between the nightstand and the closet with a window behind. The glider is very convenient with a baby but now that my baby is actually considered a toddler, I’m starting to rethink the space. I imagine having a pretty chaise lounge with a floor lamp behind. This would […]

Cozy, Warm Fireplaces

It’s so cozy to sit back on a cold day and relax in front of the fire. All I need is to feel the warmth on my face. I’ve thought of putting the above fireplace in the master bedroom or in the breakfast nook. I already have two fireplaces in the house… do I need […]
