Glass and summer are made for each other and nothing compares to the soft glint of glass under a canopy of tress with a balmy sun peeking through; or under a blanket of fairy lights & the night sky! It’s almost divine how glass look against light and this is one thing I bank on,…
How to paint over dark walls without primer. That is the very topic of this blog but I assure you I will get in digressions and epiphanic episodes in this blog post just to mess with people who likes to “get to the point”. If you don’t like it, you are in trouble! Haha, this…
If there is one thing you should turn to this year when it comes to your home, it’s linen napkins. Why? Because they can be all of this, at the same time- a serviette, a face towel, a hand towel and your beloved prop. They also absorb better, wash better, looks oh-so-farmhouse-ey and you save…

That, ladies and gents, is the discussion (a rather important one) in here today and I am glad we are at that end of year where discussing this is legitimate. Thankfully, however, I am seeing a lot of people interested in celebrating the holidays and decking…
