my home – the paint colors
I have recently received a lot of e-mails and comments asking for the name of the paint colors I use in my home, so I thought I would share them in a post. (I’ve also been asked how I hang my plates, so that post is coming up.) Do you remember the era when everyone […]

Many of you noticed the jute and seagrass rugs throughout my house in the partial house tour and asked some questions, so I thought I would share a bit more about them. After trying a bunch of patterned rugs in my home, I realized I didn’t want so much pattern on the floor. I wanted the […]
