Clocks and I have always had a very special relationship. My parents (and grandparents before them, as a matter of fact) had a grandfather clock in their home, as well as a collection of many different kinds of clocks in different rooms of their houses – mantel clocks, atomic clocks, wall clocks – so ingrained in [...]
I am a picky person. I would say finicky actually but my friends will say that I am straight up picky; that nothing really satisfies me and that it has to be just the right thing for me to really like something. I guess I agree with them; especially when it comes to decorating my house. [...]
There are those rooms that take on a life of their own; rooms that may have taken on a role for which they were not initially intended. I call my room “garage room” and it was obviously intended as a garage space as its name implies. That’s the way it was constructed anyway – to house [...]
In the last post I introduced you to two of my closest friends who are completely different by nature; one is considered a modernist and showcases it in everything from the way she dresses to the way she decorates her home – anything fun, funky, and bold is perfect as far as she is concerned.

I have two friends who are just about as different as two people can be.

In the last post, we talked about the significant impact the renovation of a kitchen or bathrooms can have in a home. There is, of course, the livability factor; making the kitchen and bathroom something comfortable and reflective of your personal style makes utilizing those rooms that much more enjoyable. And then, of course, there is [...]
In terms of redecorating a home, the kitchen and bathrooms are easily among the most tackled rooms in the home. This is for a number of reasons. For one, to be sure, we spend as much time in these rooms as we are likely to spend anywhere else in the home and it’s important for us [...]
If you want an affordable and really fresh way to perk up your décor in a way that is completely in line with your own style, consider clocks. Shopping online has allowed us to access some of the best products available in the marketplace; and logistically speaking it is not at all necessary that we be [...]
When it comes to decorating our homes, no one wants to be considered to have created “average” home décor.
