Curtains, and Making Smart Design

Curtains.  The ones I found are great. Wonderful detail. Billowing silks, rustic cotton on branches, bold color...They are Glamour, Style, Statement, Privacy, Definition, and...

oh, yeah...there's more, but let's not forget the obvious: light control.

Well, forget light control for a sec:

Okay; light, privacy, style etc...

Sometimes (and only sometimes) I wish I could sew....

Have a great day!

FormalFancy Fun

Formality need not be stodgy. 

Whether through color,shimmer, pattern or mixed styles... 

these rooms are perfect examples of  

how to make a room that is formal, fancy and  fun. 

Don't you think The Gabor sisters would approve?
Have a Divine Day, Dah-lings!

Mirror Chic...

Hey There, Hectic Holiday People~

Take a look, (or save it for after the holidays, but don't forget)

These mirrors are all fun to look at, great for decorating ideas, fun to re-blog about, and the rooms and the decor... are Just Simple, Pleasing Design... 

 Voila!   

 MIRRORS :

 or, in this gorgeous instance, shiny wreath on mirror on mirror:

 I'm going to be very ME now and remind you of something:

 Each one of us needs to look in the mirror and KNOW, as we notice flaws, wrinkles, etc,  that

 The-Fairest-One-of-All may not look it on the outside...

the Goodness of a person is what creates her true beauty. 

You can trust people to know that. 

Have a Beautiful Day!
