Every twenty to thirty years, it seems that fashion tends to come full circle, with trends simply being recycled and updated. It could just be the vicious circle of history repeating itself, but it seems that even home design is doing the same thing. If you take a gander at the home furnishing offerings today, you'll find that many of the decorations and designs are "retro"', imitating the wave of the late 1970's through the 1980's. In case you weren't around for the original styles, or have cho...

Tuscan decor is all about friends and families gathering around having a good time, and it's all the more appropriate in a guest-room, to make visitors feel at home.
If you have a guest room in your home, then it's there for one main reason - to make your guest feel at home while they are visiting.

If you're not sure where to start or how best to tackle updating
your child's bedroom, you're not alone. In a lot of families,

On Oregon's northern coast, the tiny town of Wheeler sits at the
edge of a pristine bay that cloisters all sorts of wonders,
which stay even more secret because they often get passed over
by the major tourist publications. A mere few blocks long, if
you blink you may miss this diminutive gem, where antique shops
seem to be the number one industry (there are four such shops,

out over the Nehalem Bay, where mysterious Neahkahnie Mountai...

Writing this from Dallas, Texas one of the ragweed hotspots of
the nation, I'm particularly aware of "allergies" and the havoc
they can cause. Here are some facts about allergies:
More than 50 million Americans suffer from allergies. Ragweed
pollen is probably the largest single seasonal allergen in North
America. It is estimated that one square mile of ragweed plants
would release 16 tons of pollen in one season. Even skin contact
with ragweed can cause dermatitis.
An allergy is "...a heighten...

Why is planning home decorating projects important? Let’s start
by asking the following question.
What do the following have in common? 1) Boxes of odds & ends
collecting dust in the basement
2) Bags of discarded curtains, bedspreads and pillows in the
attic
3) Half empty paint cans stacked against a wall in the garage
It could mean you have a hard time parting with anything,
however, in this case all these point to decorating attempts
gone astray.
Let me continue with a short story: “The Di...
