Before and After Interior Design Part Two: Window Treatments are a Fabulous Touch!

What a difference window treatments make! 

While a can of paint can produce dramatic results for a space, window treatments are the crowning jewel! Without them, a room feels unfinished and slightly lack luster. This paint color (Jungle Green by Sherwin Williams) is beautiful but very strong.

My Secret Weapons for Holiday Decorating: Part 1

Last year I choked for the holidays!  I was very busy, so I thought it would be okay to “cheat” just a bit on my holiday décor.  I opted for a faux tree – And WOW! – was I disappointed!  Sorry, guys – Some of you may “boo” me for saying this! EEK! -But I [...]

  • I agree 100%. I’m a “real” tree kind of girl, too! Nothing beats how wonderful it makes my home smell. The only down side to me is that the tree can’t be enjoyed as long as an artificial one, because mine just starts to dry out after about 1 1/2 to 2 weeks. Some, for example, put their trees up the day after Thanksgiving Day. Well I’d love to do this, because it takes me about 2-3 days to get the tree fully dressed. However, I don’t think my real tree would last this long. I’ve tried all the suggestions (such as adding Sprite to the water, checking and adding fresh water as needed, even the store bought product to extend tree life).If anyone has any other suggestions, I’d love to try some of them. Thanks for this great post, Kimberly.

  • Thanks, Kimberly–I need all the shortcuts you have in your repetoire! Christmas really gets away with me.

    I am an artist and designer enthusiast. Do you have any tips or (Maybe even a new video on this be great) for hallway designs. Thanks.

    I am looking for different photo examples of using ribbon to hang pictures in my dining room for the holidays. I have three Norman Rockwell prints in golden frames that I would like to showcase on one wall next to one another. Can you help?

Summer’s End.

Home Interiors: Living Green (Part 1)

It has been a couple of months since I last blogged about earth-conscious living. However, some of you loyal readers may recall from previous posts that this topic is truly one that is near and dear to my heart. Now, I know that not everyone feels as passionately about living green as I do. Sooooo…. [...]
