Several weeks ago, I shared a simple Thanksgiving Centerpiece that anyone could put together.  I used a few candlesticks, an artificial fall garland, and real pumpkins.  It took 2 minutes.  And then I shared another Thanksgiving centerpiece look using traditional fall colors.  That one was also simple but was a little more elaborate.  Since we […]

This look in the dining room isn’t rocket science or earth shattering.  LOL  I actually just asked Deb if this look was way too simple to share.  She said, “Some people like simple.”  And, I figured you may still be inspired and possibly have a few of the same items to duplicate the look.  So… […]

I was walking past this little cabinet in the dining room and realized I have never shown you this area yet.  We decided to move lots of furniture around in this little rental a few weeks ago.  Because we needed a fresh start and a fresh attitude.  ????  And slowly but surely, I’m getting it […]
