Simple things, make a BIG difference. I'm always sprucing my house, thinking about what to update, and continually making changes. A quick reno that I just finished was adding a tile backsplash to my powder room sink. This is how the powder room looked before we moved in. The walls were painted a semi-gloss, DARK forest green color and there was an ugly flower border at the top ~ too bad I don't have a picture of that...you would have loved it, NOT! Once we got our hands on it, we removed the ugly border and painted the room a card board brown color (one of my favs) and the sink … [Read more...]

For the Love of Sconces
November 5, 2010
I ♥ sconces...they fit in any decor ~ traditional or modern, classic or contemporary ~ and there is a design for every style!

Since the light provided from a wall sconce is usually minimal, it is just enough to create a soothing and relaxing ambience, but also negate unwanted shadows created by overhead downlight(s).The wall sconces above by Horchow are so stylish and their striking, but simplistic design, will complement any decor. The … [Read more...]
