Over the past couple of years there has been an explosion in the popularity of outdoor rugs. One of the reasons is that outdoor rugs have evolved from being bland, scratchy and plastic looking to being stylish, fun and fashionable. In fact, the technology has so advanced that many times it is difficult to even [...]
It’s Baaaack….Shocking Color Trend
Last week I attended Design Camp Seattle, put on by celebrity designers Lori Dennis and Kelly Ellis. The line up of speakers was amazing and I came away both inspired and informed. The opening speaker in Seattle was Bill Indursky, founder of the online shopping site V& M. Bill spoke on trends and as a color consultant I [...]
Ronda Rice Carmen’s New Book “Designers At Home”
This past Saturday I came home to the BEST surprise, a Fedex package containing a book I had won from Interior Designer Karen Davis’s blog giveaway.

Self Healing After A Traumatic Week in Boston
A week ago today, two brothers made the decision to intentionally kill, maim, injure and terrorized innocent individuals, the city of Boston, our Nation and the World. The bombings at the Boston Marathon hit me really hard. Maybe because it is my city, maybe because I used to live in Watertown and maybe it is because I have watched the Marathon from the [...]

Since her BEFORE and AFTER photos were so dramatic she [...]

Patiently Waiting For Spring
I am not one of those New Englander’s who is constantly complaining about the snow. I actually LIKE the snow. There comes a point though (late March) when one more storm is just enough to push me over the edge. So today, rather than spending the day as planned with clients, I am snowed in [...]
7 Tips to Create a More Soulful Home
I just read an interesting article about how Oprah is redecorating her Montecito California home. In the article (you can read it here) Oprah shares how even though she has decorated many beautiful homes over the years not one of them ever really felt like her home nor did she ever feel completely comfortable in them. Oprah says rather than decorating around [...]
My new walking desk version 1.0
Have you heard about the newest trend in the work place? It’s called a walking desk. Quite surprisingly, studies have shown that long periods of sitting is actually worse for our health than a steady diet of junk food. Well the idea of a walking desk was actually first presented to me by my husband. He [...]
