I wish I had the energy/time to make a beautiful desert table for our Christmas party (no room) - for now we'll just have to dream and plan for next year:
I'm sure many of you have the expertise to create the ultimate desert table!

... Christmas Is Just Around The Corner!
7:34 PM By admin
I can't believe that Christmas is basically next week... yikes!!!
I have to say, I've been extra careful this year not to procrastinate and methodically take my time to pick out presents that would best meet the needs of family and friends - hopefully they're not disappointed.
I love this time of year - the snow, colorful lights, time with family and friends, performing Christmas music and focusing on the Savior.
What are things you love this time of year?!

Hope you're all enjoying this special time of year!!

Beauty at Christmas...
9:22 AM By admin
Thanks to one of my favorite blogs Merchant Design, I was able to find a treasure trove of
beautiful images! Below are beautiful pictures of the home of blogger Froken Knopp.
I love the white and gray which are the perfect "colorless" shades that are endlessly adaptable.
This home is the perfect example of a pure backdrop which allows the simple items to pop!
Happy Holidays everyone!!!

The Power of Color...
7:59 PM By admin
I know... I know... I'm always posting images of cool hues with pale off-white monochromatic pallets. It's time to spruce up a bit and blog about the power of color. The glorious thing about color is its power and abundance of energy and emotion. How can something so simple have such an impact?!
For me color has been derived from all kinds of sources from my childhood, a treasured object, my Grandmother's home, a special item of clothing, the enjoyment of the simplicity of the sea, etc...
I do love color - only is small amounts.
Designing with color is all about choosing the feel that's right for you.
The images below are fun and bright and bring happiness:

I'm curious - are you drawn more to color or soft monochromatic hues?
Have a wonderful week!

Finding Perfection In Imperfection

I love the quote: "Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away"
... Need I say more?
