Are the Obamas back from the Caribbean yet? The only reason I’m asking is because I’m really curious to see what will go into the former First Lady’s shopping cart when she visits Target. Over the past few years, I’ve heard (and I’m sure you have, too) Michelle Obama stating that she could not wait… Continue Reading
You, too, can make a gold foil art print at home, similar to the ones featured on gallery walls and professionally styled bookshelves in beautifully decorated homes and offices {here is one I like}. You don’t need to have any extraordinary creative talent, nor do you have to own any expensive equipment or complicated tools! The technique I’m showing you… Continue Reading
My mother is an artist ~ I may have already said that many times in this blog. She’s a painter [an AMAZING painter] and we’re so lucky to have plenty of her beautiful art pieces -all oil on canvas- on the walls of our home, for free! Back when I was a kid and we lived… Continue Reading

Instead, consider offering something very unique that you’ve made yourself: a hand-soap dispenser for their powder room, personalized with the family name and a sweet quote of… Continue Reading
This year, I can’t get enough inspiration from these small Christmas trees sitting up high on tables, consoles, dressers and nightstands! Either they’re artificial or real, planted in a pot or placed in a container, small or tiny, I spot them everywhere and I could have them in every room of the house! The kids’ desks… Continue Reading
Just like any other meal, a good quinoa bowl must have the colors and the flavors of the season.
