The work is done now it’s time to have some fun. Do you want a neutral backdrop for your collection or a pop of color? I have done both for my clients and personally I popped a color. It’s your choice. A closet should be about you and your personal style. Everything in this space […]
My passion for fashion started when I was a young girl. Shopping and dressing up in heels, hats, and costumes that were frothy and frilly was pure fun for me. I bought my first mink coat when I turned 16 with my own money. The ability to work hard to acquire things I wanted was […]
Life can throw you curve balls… little luxuries help me settle feelings of the unknown. My solace in little luxuries began at an early age . Pressed sheets, flowers from my mother’s garden and delicate nightgowns were a natural part of the bedroom. Preparing for some scheduled down time has set me on a shopping […]
Flowers are blooming and I am spending time on the porch and in the garden. I want to bottle all of the fresh inspiring scents that are in the air staying with them forever. I don’t know how to do that but I have some other ideas. The all over body and house treatment that […]

A beautiful woman who’s personal glamour was projected fearlessly into her “baroque fantasy” style of decorating. Dorothy’s mix of patterns, cultures, and use of pure imagination created iconic interiors that […]
Rose Cumming was an eclectic and electric personality with a glamorous style. Her gutsy clashing of bold colors, metallic wallpapers and glittering chandeliers makes me want to do some decorating! Pull out the floral chintz books, some solid satins, my Sabu leopard and let’s get going… I am in a Rosey state […]
The low temperatures are really affecting this southern belle’s needs. When it gets super cold my mood changes from what I want to smell in my home to the moisturizer I use on my body. I even switch out the throws and pillows around the house. It’s really a cleansing process and I quite enjoy […]
This year I made a promise to myself, to slow down and smell the roses this Christmas. One of my busiest years ever is under my belt and I am now gearing up for another. The next two weeks I plan to enjoy my home and family. We renovated our kitchen years ago and still […]
Stay in the mix with me!
