Collections: Cocktail Shakers

Mother and I were invited to a fundraising event in Hot Springs by my dear friend, Alecia, a few weeks ago.  The event was fabulous and the purchases were too!  We took advantage of our time in Hot Springs and went to a couple of antique shops.  One in particular, Bath House Row Antiques, owned Read More

When A Sofa Doesn’t Work

When we think of a family living space, we automatically think a sofa must go in the room, and normally it does.  Furniture placement depends on room size, door openings, furniture size, and the television (if there is one).  The “feel of the room” is very important as well.  When working with my clients, I Read More

Details: The Bar

The new bar in the living room is making me smile!  And that is what our home is supposed to do…make us SMILE!  You know that I truly believe your home should “tell a story,” and a few things on the bar do just that…  The sterling silver tray was a wedding gift from Mother Read More

New Spring Containers

I absolutely love container gardening!  Whether it be the containers themselves, or the variety of plants you can put into containers, there’s just something special about them.  Several years ago, Mother and Daddy gave me these metal topiaries for Mother’s Day… At the time, I was looking for something substantial that didn’t need watering.  These Read More

What a wonderful time we had at Colleen’s home for Culinary Club last Sunday!  Her patio, garden, and of course, the food was a true treat!  I absorbed all of the details…  As I walked down the steps to her lovely patio, a complete wave of relaxation came over me! Her centerpiece was lovely, and Read More

Life’s Stages

It was Saturday afternoon, and I was home alone.  That my friends NEVER happens!  I hosted a fabulous party that morning, the kids were with my parents, and Handyman Husband had to work.  I sat on the porch swinging for 30 minutes with no interruptions.  Pretty great!  I then started becoming a bit antsy, so Read More

Krav Fit: Women’s Self Defense Seminar

Last week, I received an email from my friend Karen about a Woman’s Self Defense seminar being held at Krav Fit here in Little Rock.  I’ll be honest…I have received emails about attending something like this before, and I didn’t think it was for me.  In other words, I was scared.  Scared to come to Read More

Bedroom Lamps

Several months ago, I went antiquing with Mother and Daddy and found some treasures.  I created a “duck hunting vignette” for Daniel’s room from this trip which you may see here.  Also on this trip, I found a pair of these…  Or should I say Mother found these lamps! My first thought was NO WAY! Read More
