Draping greenery makes this stair case wispy and romantic. I also like the touch of berries at each swag tack.

I know. I know. I’m a hopeless romantic. I just can’t seem to help myself, especially around the holidays. I think it’s the alluring aroma of lit candles and the visual of a crackling fire.

So, for this season, I am going to focus on the romantic side of holiday decorating for your home. I am not really sure where this little adventure in blogging about romantic holiday décor is going to take me, but I hope you enjoy!

Just finised a new post!

It’s all about Elegant Steinway pianos.

Just about every day I receive an email asking for more information about the beloved Bewitched House. So, many emails that is hard to keep up! As a follow up to my post Bewitched, I wanted to give the website where I found all of my information. www.1164.com

Ok, at first I thought very strange then I started to think it looked cool.  You be the judge!

               Recently, it seemed that everyone was asking me the question “what is the perfect brown for my bedroom?” Knowing that brown is a difficult color to choose off an inch by inch square paint sample, I went on the search for the perfect brown.  I started with my beloved and trusted Benjamin Moore deck. Fanning out the deck, I narrowed it down to two browns.  I ordered paint samples online (www.benjaminmoore.com) and painted them on white cardboard. My reward was finding the perfect brown for any bedroom.  Not too red and not too espresso, I discovered Middlebury brown HC-68.

Luckily, I had a client that was excited about using brown and was able to paint her walls with the same delicious color.  It turned out beautiful!
