    1. JoAnne how kind of you to say so! Yes,I wanted a guide to help everyone decorate more confidently!

    Love everything you do!

  3. Hubby just retired bought a home on a golf course in Georgia my home state. So happy to be “going home” both kids are out of the house empty nesting complete. I am trying to marry my love of masculine (leather brown) furniture and old world with my love of floral and French country. Is this impossible. I love my thrift store finds but also love that I feel comfortable replacing any element or refacing or painting to make work. Only exception is my husbands great grandmothers Buffett table and china hutch in dark walnut. Okay this may be TMI but I am so wanting a show home I can live in for this new stage of our life.

  4. My family & I just recently bought new house & the decor of the entire house is all gray & white. I’m having troublesome of figuring out how to decorate our new home. All the walls are light grey & counters, the baseboards are white etc. I just want to know what colors do I need to stick to make it nice/ look like a home? I do t like floral print stuff. Would just like advice of colors I need to stick with. Love your website!!

  5. This is very helpful. Thank you!
    Your window panels look like the Bowen Striped ones from Ballard Design? Yet they look gray which Ballard doesn’t offer. Are they the the Natural color or from another source? TIA

    1. Hi Kim, Yes, the curtains are Bowen from Ballard. The stripe is a very neutral beige. Hope this helps.

    I recently saw a post of yours with a plain jute rug in your living room. Is that an older photo ? I was thinking of ordering the diamond design rug . Did you decide for some reason to change . Perhaps the jute rug was from an earlier time .
    Thx Dennie
