I love putting together different looks on side tables.  Number one, they are small and simple to do.  Number two, they take a few minutes.  And number three, the looks can be applied to different areas in your home.  You can do pretty much recreate the same thing on a buffet or your kitchen […]

Do you remember when I said I was never going to hang a television over the mantel again… EVER AGAIN.  Because when we bought our antique fireplace mantel, I was having such a great time decorating?  Well, that all changed when they came out with the FrameTV, which I will be sharing that soon.  But… […]
