TUDOR HOUSES WITH PAINTED FRONT DOORS

I love painted front doors.  It gives the house personality.  Having a Tudor-style house, I always thought brown is the way to go.  Until...

Do you have a colored front door?

Have a great weekend!

TUFTED UPHOLSTERED HEADBOARD

Thank you all for the love yesterday.  

I wish I could spill the beans but nothing has happened yet.  I will let you know as soon as I can.  It's probably not a big deal for some of you, but it really means so much to me.  Excited and nervous!

Anyway,  today I wanted to share with you this...

My sister emailed me a picture of her custom upholstered headboard.  Will you believe me if I tell you it only cost a little over a hundred including the fabric?!  I helped her pick out the fabric.  It is from Jo-ann's.

The labor in Manila is so cheap, I am so jealous.  

BUSY AS A BEE

I have some great and exciting news that I really want to share to you but I can't just yet!  I know that's annoying but I can tell you that it's been keeping me busy...

TAMARA KAYE-HONEY

Among Trad Home's NEW 10 Trad designers for 2012, Tamara Kaye-Honey is my favorite.

I LOVE her style.  She calls it "New Vintage"...

PERFECT PEARS

A couple of weeks ago, me and my cousin-in-law Pam attended an art and wine class.  It is basically drink while you paint...
