Christmas decorating | the living room
I’ve been sharing the Christmas decorations in my house room by room over the past few days. In case you missed it, here is the master bedroom and family room decked out for the holidays. And now, in the tour, we come to the living room. As with the other rooms I’ve already shared, […]
furniture feature friday | favorites & link party
Boy, another great furniture week! Sometimes I feel like I can’t think of a fresh way to express the creativity and great style that I see linked up each week and maybe, after a few hundred (really) of these link parties, I simply can’t.
