I wish my garden looked like this photo. Perhaps with a little more attention and some plant purchases, it will.  I am going to spend the weekend clipping and pruning, planting and relaxing.  I hope you will do the same. I love the start of summer!!

A great way to express your personal style and taste is to bring decorative items into the bath. One of the more unique ways to accomplish this is to repurpose an old or vintage piece of furniture into a vanity, especially for the powder room where such details are showcased beautifully. As any antiques shopper will tell you, the objective is to find a piece that looks great but doesn’t cost a lot.

Here is the proverbial question: Where does the time go? We are nearing the end of 2015, and that means one thing. It is gift-giving time.

If I were to identify a new trend, I would say that we are in a wallpaper moment. In shelter magazines and showrooms, textures and patterns for walls are everywhere. The only problem with all of these fresh choices is that there are so many wonderful new options, it is difficult to make a decision! Recently, I decided I wanted to wallpaper my laundry room and spent too much time taping potential choices to the walls; I considered everything from linen and grasscloth to stripes and subtle patterns. Unfortunately, I have yet to make a final decision.
