when organizing drawers such as night stands and bureaus, look for leather boxes with compartments or pretty linings to set inside and establish areas for change, paper notes, extra cards ( credit ect.) and lip chap~ That way when opening the drawer, there is some order and ability to easily see the contents... this makes for a clean and orderly space...plus it makes you feel good~

Where you live, how you live, and who you hang out with...all these things set your mood, how you act in life, and how you feel each day~ Decorating your home in a comforting way, surrounding your self with people you love, and keeping your heart and mind positive makes for a life well lived~ My tip for the day

French green toile, and luscious tassels embellish the room~

This french commode started out completely black, very dull and basic. I added several layers of color, and glazes, distressing and detailing to complete a dreamy heavenly framed window~

This is the cake from the baby shower, which had been made previous, and then I added simple foam/ glitter initials and plastic polka dots. The intials are that of the baby to come!

This is a topiary I created for a baby shower, it is simple and playful...the table hold several etched green glasses with voitive candles inside, along with several pink glass scented ones to add a soft aroma. There are little glass holders which have porcelain balls with the intials of the family members and the baby to come! sprinkled on the table is confetti with a baby theme~ and the table is dressed with a soft pink matelasse from bedding.

This is a picture of myself and Betty Lou Phillips, one of my favorite decorators! I had the great fortune of meeting her a few years back at "Le Tissue Colbert" she was so sweet, and it was so nice to talk to her. She is a fabulous designer and author, and she inspires me all the time! :)
