Seasons change, why not change with them?

The benefit of changing things around and adding a few decorative items this time of year is especially enjoyable because of the rainy, gray days outside.

For me, when I come home I like to feel that I am on vacation and that my home is festive. It lifts my spirit and it will do the same for you.

Here I am sharing some photos of my Living and Dining rooms by Elle M. Photography that appeared an article in the Northwest Boomer and Senior News Portland Metro edition.

I hope the article, the photos and this blog inspire you to make some seasonal changes in your home. Invite your friends to come over and celebrate the holiday season and, incidentally, show off the new look in your home!

Don't forget the wine and cheese, and in my case, lots of sweets! Here's my toast to you for the effort you made to freshen up your home's interior!

Cheers! Salute! Salud! Sante! Prost! Skal! Kampa! Salute!

Couple builds dream home in Walla Walla

Melissa & Mike visiting the construction site... a marvelous winter landscape! The calendar years of 2020/2021 have been one of the most challenging and unpredictable years of my life. On the other hand, they have also been one of my best professionally. The saying time flies when you are busy is true! My last blog was in November! Therefore, I am enjoying taking a break and sharing with you my pleasure in having had an opportunity to meet some wonderful new clients and catch up with existing clients. They kept me busy with consultations, renovations, new contractors and problem-solving with people working and teaching their children at home. You might think the interval during new construction won't have much of an effect on interior design, but decisions made from initial drawings and during construction have a profound effect on home decor. They set the groundwork for client satisfaction, such as this project. As the point person for a couple building their third (and fi...
