I think there’s one decorating detail everyone can agree on. A room with an amazing view is a prized asset in any home.

Would you believe I started sewing curtains for my mother when I was in high school? I’m not exactly sure what motivated me, but I remember looking at the windows in my sister’s old bedroom and thought how much better they’d look with new curtains. My mom let me choose the peach fabric on my…
Years ago we installed board and batten in our downstairs bathroom and also on the wall up the stairway. More recently we added it to our dining room. It’s one of my favorite architectural elements because it’s easy to install, it adds instant dimension, and it’s fairly inexpensive. In addition to all that, board and…

The bathroom floor guys arrived Monday morning and they dropped the toilet when removing it, which broke the connecting pipe sticking out of the wall. Water sprayed all over (not too bad though), and they had to call the plumber to fix it (at least I didn’t have to pay for the plumber). Ugh. I’ll…
