Fall is my favorite season to decorate.  Here in Ohio, it is WAY too short though.  The leaves change color and then they are completely gone in about 3 weeks time frame.  BUT, our house usually stays decorated for a good 6-8 weeks.  I start fairly early to give all of you ideas for your […]

One of my all-time favorite things to do around the house is to decorate small areas.  Areas like a table top, dresser, buffet, or in the case, the kitchen island can get a makeover in about ten minutes.  And making a few little changes makes you feel like you have a totally new space.  I […]

I received an email from […]
