<br />
THE WARM METALS<br />
Gold, Copper and Brass have made a comeback. <br />
Some of you are still trying to rid your home of all the brass picture frames, lamps and doorknobs - and here it is - back again... But it does have a new look and that's the important part when adding these metals to your home. The gold is burnished, the brass is antiqued... take a look and see if you feel like living with these metals again.... and then mix one of them with a silver metal or a black or bronze - because we really are just that relaxed now - nothing has to be matched - but maybe limit the number of metals in a room to 2.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />

What do you think? Notice how the metals all mix and play together...? Can you handle a little gold, brass or a little copper to warm up your metals?<br />

One of the projects I have been working on this season is my own home office. It is desperately in need of a remodel. Currently a chaotic overstuffed hoarder zone, I want an open uncluttered space - difficult when you need a large desk, desktop computer, professional printer, regular printer, paper, books and magazines, files, samples, paint fans, client seating, fabric and endless supplies, in the space the size of a small bedroom, (which is in actuality - a small bedroom). No matter how I rearranged the furniture in my head, it ended up boxy, crowded and uninspiring. (boring)<br />
<br />
I needed open. <br />
I needed calm.<br />
I needed uncrowded. <br />
<br />
And I wanted it to actually look good, too.<br />
<br />
It is [supposed to be] a very creative place.<br />
<br />
Obviously, I needed new furniture. (its a dirty job, but someone has to do it...)<br />
<br />
I found the inspiration I needed while Ziggy was getting his annual checkup. As I waited in the vet's office, I thumbed through an issue of <a href="http://www.bhg.com/">Better Homes and Gardens</a>, and found the perfect fix for my cluttered office. <br />
<br />
I was so excited, I didn't feel a bit guilty about tearing the pages out of the magazine and stashing them into my handbag while the receptionist wasn't looking. Just kidding. Actually, the receptionist was way too vigilant (how do you tear pages from a magazine quietly anyway?) and I ended up finding the room online <a href="https://donna-talley.squarespace.com/news/my-home-office-in-better-homes-gardens-magazine">here</a>. This is Donna Talley's home office.<br />

Here's what I loved about this room. The open shelving allows you to organize and decorate at the same time. The round table/desk makes the room feel less confined, more open, non 'office' looking seating is cozier less institutional, drapes soften and feminize the room. There is an overall open fresh feel. A rug brings color and pattern to that area as well.<br />
<br />
It is not boring.<br />
<br />
I knew I could get the cubby shelving from <a href="https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/kallax-shelf-unit-white-30275861/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw4f35BRDBARIsAPePBHyJ0ergwb8RwUhRtMNkcCvLxDsActsQ3pQQkdyhRTd3V12viVGHewQaAs8_EALw_wcB">Ikea</a> and the rest I went on the hunt to find. Craigslist (after a few weeks of looking) was where I found the almost exact same table/desk - an antique pine flip top table that can be a full round or a half-round. Perfect if I have a project where I need extra room.<br />

I found and purchased tufted linen chairs at Restoration Hardware for my client seating and I'm still looking for a desk chair - it needs wheels. I have fresh new paint on the walls and have framed the windows and the closet (removed the sliding closet doors) and added nice fat crown and base moldings...<br />
<br />
And a rich, warm hardwood floor.<br />
<br />
For paint, I chose <a href="http://www.sherwinwilliams.com/">Sherwin Williams</a>, <b><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/914862411777526/?nic_v2=1a5hSOI0a">Agreeable Gray</a></b>. It's perfect for a room that needs to be calm and soothing. A light filled soft gray but with a warm undertone.<br />
<br />
I found a second hand lamp (the kind you can fill with something) that needed a lampshade redo that I thought would work perfectly in this room. I recovered the shade in a linen and filled it with some of my mother's shell collection. The opening was too small for most of the shells and only accommodated the smaller shells. Its also a smallish lamp, and I needed more lighting, so looked for a larger version and found one at <a href="https://www.target.com/p/casual-fillable-large-lamp-base-clear-includes-energy-efficient-light-bulb-threshold-8482/-/A-52406314?ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&AFID=google_pla_df&fndsrc=tgtao&CPNG=PLA_Lighting%2BShopping_Brand&adgroup=SC_Lighting&LID=700000001170770pgs&network=g&device=c&location=9031562&ds_rl=1246978&ds_rl=1248099&ds_rl=1247068&gclid=Cj0KCQjw4f35BRDBARIsAPePBHzjOgJLOqaYfsVE4TBLjEZxzHAXD3uvDFCGCxD-5QMPzCBS74dlNvEaAkhNEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds">Target</a> that had a larger opening. I love that it was way under $100 and that its opening is big enough to accommodate the bigger shells. I could fill it with shells my mother and I picked off the beach in Samoa. Now that she is gone, it is a lovely reminder of that time and the joy it gave her to find a treasure in the sand. These lamps will bring fond memories of my dear mum whenever I see them.<br />
<br />
I removed the closet doors to accommodate my teak armoire because I needed more storage and a place to house a TV. It makes it less 'bedroom' and more 'office'. It fits nearly perfectly into the opening. I contemplated painting it, as it was darker than I wanted for this room, but the teak wood really is quite beautiful. I decided to leave it as is. <br />
<br />
The rug is one I've had in storage for a while. I remember saving my pennies to buy it long ago because I'd fallen in love with its needlepoint botanical design. It's the perfect size for this room. I'm enjoying seeing it on the floor again, and the botanical theme is perfect for the feel of this room.<br />
<br />
I found linen curtains at a Restoration Hardware outlet - I need to alter them a little before hanging. The rest will be organizing and decorating - I can't wait to show you the results! Stay tuned!<br />

Someone suggested painting the shutters to match the roof (Eco star synthetic slate) and yet it looks much too modern next to the warm brick. BM Wrought Iron looks very close to roof color and BM's Dragons Breath matches the brick tones: one is green to me, one is blue in the sun. Neither hits the spot.

<br />
Jolene, your home is beautiful, and most importantly, it is imposing enough that it should be able to handle some deeper, stronger colors, which is what is needed in order to not fade away in that strong light. <i> </i><br />

I would go with a dark charcoal gray or black for the trim. Try Benjamin Moore Kendall Charcoal.<br />

It's definitely a more modern look, and will accent the architectural details. Adding your shutters back in the same color will help as well. The flat front of your home benefits from the little architectural accents of the french country style. I would keep the railing as it is a nice architectural accent, but paint it the same color as the trim.<br />

It is the current trend and one that would allow you to get out of the color palette that is bothering you. Trim color can be much softer and the railing can be the same color as the house. <br />
<br />
Another possible treatment is a lime wash - or white wash - of the brick.<br />

Complementary colors are colors opposite the color wheel. If we were to look at your wood as being a warm color - say in the orange to red field, you would complement it with blues to greens. However, you have a nice neutral palette with beige and grays, and I just can't see blue or green hued walls being something we would want to see in this light filled room. However, a gray with hint of that color in an undertone could bring out the warmth of the wood. </div>

The soft gray of the cabinets, however, doesn't actually lend itself to that application. The cabinets need a deeper (stronger) or much lighter value. Contrast, in other words, as opposed to similar. Look at this color for starters. </div>

'Basic' is exactly where The Hubs and I are right now. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFOPzQWaO1TeuQ9uOpztVjEFfQZOCg4XcWH6tRmCU5SRA7RLIFr6rrwZrEqAQO0dXbBSI6ytMuqiVajEYYj1gKe-lQoh_886UhC3bn_PEng52d02exBjE1Y8me2XCMYRdS7h74QMLaB80/s1600/BACKTOBASICS1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="533" data-original-width="655" height="520" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFOPzQWaO1TeuQ9uOpztVjEFfQZOCg4XcWH6tRmCU5SRA7RLIFr6rrwZrEqAQO0dXbBSI6ytMuqiVajEYYj1gKe-lQoh_886UhC3bn_PEng52d02exBjE1Y8me2XCMYRdS7h74QMLaB80/s640/BACKTOBASICS1.jpg" width="640" /></a>After our downstairs remodel 4 years ago, we moved our attention upstairs and updated the master suite and my office and made plans to re-carpet the hall and redo the guest bathroom and the other bedrooms as time and funds permitted.<br />
<br />
But, a couple of months ago we noticed that downstairs, our beautiful new wood flooring was looking a little strange in places, and I could hear water when no water was on, specifically in the laundry room....<br />
<br />
<br />
Three weeks later, with a slab leak under our belts, rerouted pipes, a storage crate on our driveway, flooring and drywall removed, and a week with noisy, hot, annoying drying machines, we have a large empty space and are looking at the basics once again...<br />
<br />
Flooring. Paint. Moldings.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjheNajXz9LGMV0dQ36ei5GuhQh1JcSkR4ZoE-vmjz0yq9adPdnd1WTsw4iG2anWiVSaRXmNa85drxIIOqmkGMuRfMIgSsoUzeyOhRMzB1TJxR6BQiZ84pEUdU05WDknRifMAB1DxSfpS4/s1600/BACKTOBASICS2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="388" data-original-width="607" height="255" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjheNajXz9LGMV0dQ36ei5GuhQh1JcSkR4ZoE-vmjz0yq9adPdnd1WTsw4iG2anWiVSaRXmNa85drxIIOqmkGMuRfMIgSsoUzeyOhRMzB1TJxR6BQiZ84pEUdU05WDknRifMAB1DxSfpS4/s400/BACKTOBASICS2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Basics every room in every home requires.<br />
<br />
I am always amazed at the impact those 3 simple things can make in a space. As I do this daily, it probably should NOT amaze me - but the impact a change of paint color or flooring or the addition of some details like molding and trim have in a room - kind of blows me away. Every home needs floors and paint - and hopefully the choices made will add warmth, texture, color, interest and perhaps charm. These things alone can change a plain box into a place that invites. <br />
<br />
Basics create the backdrop for everything that makes a house a home. <br />
<br />
Over the years I have seen some really bad choices - (your contractor/painter is not your designer, no matter how sure he sounds about that paint color or that wainscoting style.) It helps to have a whole house plan and to carry the design aesthetic throughout the entire house.<br />
<br />
I do love a room re-do from time to time, but this time our house is going back <i>almost</i> exactly as it was. We were happy with what we did in the remodel. Four years later we were still happy. We were lucky enough to be able to find the same gorgeous wood flooring to replace the damaged areas and were able to salvage the built-in bookcase. It looks good as new again. The Hubs is happily filling it with his beloved leather book collection as I write.<br />
<br />
In the middle of this dusty disaster, I couldn't help thinking of the opportunity I had to make a few changes. Since we were basically a construction zone, including noise and dust, I add can lighting to the family room and changed the look of the mantle and fireplace (The Hubs has hated that fireplace for over 18 years - it came with the house - we were due for a change). The demo required us to replace the wainscot in the powder room, but I changed it up a little with a shiplap treatment. In the laundry room - a room I had yet to upgrade, we added a high board and batten wainscot and will add a sink and open shelving.<br />
<br />
I've always had a big pet peeve in the family room - all the media cords! We have surround sound speaker cords, tv cords, blueray cords, receiver cords, cable cords - I have a big 'rat nest' jumble of them behind my media case. I'm quite sure there are several thousand feet of wire and cords we don't need back there, but I would never be able to put it all back together if I disconnected them. This is perfect timing to unravel that rats nest and make some sense of it. <br />
<br />
Its been a few years since I've had the opportunity to really edit my home accessories. As I put things back into place, I'm taking the time to clean house and redo - something we should all do every few years so we don't fall into the 'hoarder' or 'clutter' category, or even worse - the 'out of date' category. In fact, if I'm honest, this is a perfect opportunity, as we unpack the big giant crate on the driveway, to KonMari our possessions. So, if it doesn't 'spark joy', it will be looking for a new home. I'm quite sure we will have quite a large KonMari pile. <br />
<br />
Keep your fingers crossed for me!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
How are you doing with life in this pandemic? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Life, seemingly overnight, went from meeting with clients, shopping and designing for clients and monthly social gatherings for food, design and crafts at my house; to meeting with clients and then binge watching Netflix or reruns with The Hubs on the sofa and the dog curled at our feet. I enjoyed the fact that business seemed to speed up rather than shut down - more people spending more time at home = "Ugh...I really need to redo this room"... but I missed my friends. I missed church. I missed family gatherings. <br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtdNtB4tjsiOjkV1IaKE430A90DZrtXHvwi-ijjQ5hVx1O8jojwFScx_1Ej3oOJiM2pgpd7v_9ASoHj9KanY_YiPjiXuy6NV1V8Vt3VzLruQNljG8LxwFYuchsz392X9AoIXsYdR4WuT0/s1600/IMG_3902.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1189" data-original-width="549" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtdNtB4tjsiOjkV1IaKE430A90DZrtXHvwi-ijjQ5hVx1O8jojwFScx_1Ej3oOJiM2pgpd7v_9ASoHj9KanY_YiPjiXuy6NV1V8Vt3VzLruQNljG8LxwFYuchsz392X9AoIXsYdR4WuT0/s320/IMG_3902.jpg" width="147" /></a><br />
I hate masks. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Its not that I haven't been busy. Taxes and the linen closet kept me busy awhile. The junk drawer is cleaned, the dresser for table linens is organized, the sideboard has been sorted and items selected for Goodwill. I've become adept at online shopping and gift buying.<br />
<br />
I've made a list of the projects I want to complete over the next few months<br />
<br />
it's very long<br />
<br />
so I have a lot of things to occupy my time, provided I can get off the sofa.<br />
<br />
(I may not actually be looking forward to cleaning out the garage.)<br />
<br />
We feel grateful that Covid19 hasn't severely impacted us or our family. We are actually doing well. The Hubs and I enjoy each other's company, and my son keeps in touch via phone, text and the occasional lovely visit. The rioting around the nation is concerning and gives us more reason to spend more time at home with those we love. Keith retired a couple of years ago, but he misses working out at the gym. I haven't stopped working although business is done a little differently now - with masks, hand sanitizer, online shopping, social distancing and via Skype.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
While I enjoy spending more time at home, I fear I'm not adjusting well to the new world in which we live. I believed spending more time at home meant I would have lots of time to be creative. I thought I'd finish the decorating projects I'd put off in my own home and catch up on all those unfinished sewing, crafting projects sitting in the closet. I believed this could be a little gift of time for me - at last, time to do all the things that I'd put off until I had more free time. <br />
<br />
I planned to sew masks. I planned to catch up on the projects I didn't get to do last year...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Instead, I discovered I was waiting. Waiting for things to get back to normal. While snuggling on the couch and gardening and cleaning out drawers, I was mentally holding my breath. Beneath the busy work was stress I was ignoring. I wasn't worried I was going to become ill. I was worried our lives in this pandemic would be our new norm and that they would be impacted forever - that we would always need masks and be afraid to touch each other. I was worried about friends, family, neighbors and beyond - whose lives have been or could be severely altered by the disease or the economic downturn.<br />
<br />
I worried we would all become hermits<br />
<br />
(if you could have seen The Hubs' hair last month you would totally believe that)<br />
and would never be able to go to a ball game, wedding, concert or gathering of friends again. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Stress can totally stunt your creativity.<br />
But, I want to change that. I want to find ways to move forward in this pandemic. I know a lot of you need a project to keep you busy at home, or a creative outlet even if you are busy, and so do I.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
Something that isn't cleaning. <br />
<br />
Please. <br />
<br />
I want to stop waiting for things to get back to 'normal'. <br />
<br />
I'd love to know what projects you are planning/attempting/doing and how you are weathering the pandemic.<br />
<br />
That's what the comment section is for - lets connect!<br />
<br />
The times...they are a changing.</div>

The old mantel came with the house and a lot of people liked it. I didn't hate it, but the Hubs disliked it intensely. We lived with it for over 10 years while we took care of other more pressing projects and then decided to change it while everything was already a construction zone with the water damage repairs. I designed a simpler surround and used a herringbone stone mosaic that matched the hearth area, which we didn't change. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now I can't imagine why I didn't change it sooner - but it was way down on the list of things that needed to </div>

I was soon off on another trip to Utah - this time for fun...because after water damage - you need some fun..</div>

Running around Salt Lake we stopped at a few of our favorite antique shops and there was this clock...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
IT SPOKE TO ME...</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
It said, 'bring me home...'or maybe it said 'you need me'</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
hard to tell exactly, as I don't speak fluent clock,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
but the gist was the same.<br />
<br />
It had beautiful workmanship, the patina of age, gorgeous wood tones...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So the clock came home to stay...<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
We arranged for it to be shipped via some guys truck coming to California...</div>
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
and the guy delivered it to the wrong address - the right house number but the wrong street..</div>
</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Barbi and her husband nearly had themselves a nice antique clock...<span style="text-align: center;">but we finally figured out where it had landed and The Hubs and Rob (friend and neighbor) rolled it home.</span></div>

It was much bigger in our house than it looked in the huge warehouse where I discovered it. Taller than my 8' ceilings, so that narrowed down the possible places it could be placed. I could put it in my bedroom as I have a vaulted ceiling there - but it has a definite tick-tock going on and bongs pretty good on the hour - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
so, no. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
That left the living/dining room area - also vaulted - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
but also occupied by the even taller french clock we found several years ago; </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
or </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
the stair landing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The staircase landing became its new home, but it wasn't a happy pairing with the very large, very bronze colored mirror we had there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
A few weeks later, while still trying to decide what to do about the clock/mirror situation, The Hubs brought me a photo of a mirror he fell in love with at an antique store. It was very pretty, very old rosewood, and he loved it. It is rare he finds something he really loves, and so it came home too. It also wasn't a good match with the clock which now left me with two large mirrors that didn't work on the landing and no solution for what would. I decided a little shuffling was in order. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We moved the smaller antique mirror and the surrounding botanicals that were over the living room sofa to the landing. This mirror/botanical group and the clock seemed to get along quite well. No name calling or face pulling, and the new mirror worked over the sofa.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The new mirror went over the sofa. It was a tall mirror and it nearly reached ceiling height - which actually gave it more presence and raised the eye. Now, what to do with the original landing mirror....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
why is there always a problem to solve?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Which brings me to my next project...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
as the clock tick tocks and bongs...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I have GOT to get the living room curtain problem solved...</div>

I'm often reminded that our world is really quite small.<br />
Kind of like that annoyingly creepy ride at Disneyland with all the dolls. (I could have an adverse reaction to <u>Its a Small World After All</u> because I was once stranded in the ride for what seemed years before we were rescued by staff, with that endlessly repeating song with the creepy child-like voices in my ears...)<br />

Tiffany, met a great guy from the UK,<br />
who just happened to be from the exact same town -<br />
actually the same part of the same town -<br />
that I lived in when I was 8 or 9 years old.<br />
Good ol' Tilehurst, Reading, England!<br />
<br />
It really is a small world after all!<br />

2019 was a crazy year - both good and bad - and I've fallen behind - way behind - in my posting...<br />
so I'm attempting to catch up....<br />
<br />
Despite the water damage and repairs going on at my house, I was able to accomplish quite a bit of decor and design - here are a few of the tidbits...<br />
(or here are the ones where I actually remembered to take a photo)<br />

Thirteen foot ceilings in this powder room -<br />
we had to bring the eye level down a little - it was just too much blank space.<br />
So, we had a nice high wainscot installed and some black and white photography brought the scale of the room down to size.<br />

<b>SEVERAL OUT OF STATE TRIPS</b><br />
Work this year included several trips to the Beehive State. I have family in Utah, and friends,<br />
and have a hard time resisting springtime in the Rockies -<br />
plus we made it a girls trip!<br />
Fun!</div>

hELLo Salt Lake City</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I don't usually stay in the city when I come to Utah.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I lived here during grade school and Jr. High but our epicenter was farther south.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I worked in the city in my early 20's before moving to California, but its a different feeling altogether to actually live IN the city. I was here to help a friend who owns an AirBnB in the Avenues. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
So we stayed in the Avenues, a stones throw from Downtown SLC. It was a very fun and difference experience. The Avenue's are very quiet and the city was bustling and busy.</div>

My friend Betty took us to a secret little canyon - City Creek Canyon-<br />
(the same creek that runs through SLC)<br />
despite having been born here, I had never been to this little canyon.</div>

My son braved the weather of Winter in Yosemite to capture the fire falls.<br />
Only ONE time each year - in February, <i>and providing the weather permits</i>,<br />
is this particular waterfall lit by the setting sun which turns it to 'fire'.<br />
At just the right moment, it pours molten sunset down the face of El Capitan.<br />
He had been defeated by the weather two previous years. It was well worth the wait.<br />

I started to recap all the events of last year and it was TMI, even for me - who lived it...<br />
You would have given up reading after the first couple of events because I had massive amounts of pictures.<br />
I have a hard time talking without pictures - I'm a very visual person. Plus, they say a picture is worth 1,000 words, so then I don't have to say as much.<br />
<br />
After looking at that ridiculously long post I decided to break it up. Because I like the pictures. And I like not having to say as much.<br />
<br />
So, here's a little bit of what I've been up to lately. I hope you enjoy the pictures. And way less words.<br />
<br />

<b>2019 was a busy year. </b><br />
It started out normal...or as normal as can be expected for a slightly weird person...<br />
(and then someone shook the crazy tree and crazy rained down on us for the next several months...)<br />
<br />
My son went to Patagonia on a wedding photo shoot and sent us back some amazing photographs..<br />

I've been bitten by the tidying bug. I can't believe I've already watched the whole first season of Marie Kondo's Tidying Up. I was watching while cleaning the kitchen the other day, and my tea towel drawer is now meticulously organized... I was even able to engage The Hubs in a couple of episodes and he is game to try it out.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So here's what I love about her method... She doesn't tell you to get rid of stuff. I have stuff. I have business stuff, and sentimental stuff, and home decor stuff, and family stuff and some of my mother's stuff and some of The Hubs mother's stuff - stuff I inherited, stuff I feel guilty tossing, stuff I need, stuff I <i>might</i> need someday, paper stuff, holiday stuff, fabric stuff, design stuff, client stuff, photo stuff, garden stuff, craft stuff.....<br />
<br />
I have stuff. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
She simply asks that what you keep "Sparks Joy". <br />
<br />
Not guilt.<br />
<br />
Joy.<br />
<br />
I can do that.<br />
<br />
The Hubs can do that.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "hco ideal sans ssm"; line-height: 28px;">"Marie Kondo’s lessons show that in focusing on what does </span><em style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'HCo Ideal Sans SSm'; line-height: 28px;">not</em><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "hco ideal sans ssm"; line-height: 28px;"> make you happy, you’re only inviting unhappiness into your life.

If not, set it aside. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "hco ideal sans ssm"; line-height: 1.4;">KonMari states that you must touch every single item before you get rid of it. There’s no need to bring any “rational thinking” into the mix at this stage. You need to</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "hco ideal sans ssm"; line-height: 1.4;"> </span><em style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'HCo Ideal Sans SSm'; line-height: 1.4;">feel</em><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "hco ideal sans ssm"; line-height: 1.4;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "hco ideal sans ssm"; line-height: 1.4;">the item.

You are supposed to start with your clothing, but I was in the middle of folding tea towels as I watched... so...in my tea towel drawer, I put the ones that I wanted to keep. They matched my kitchen, they were unstained, fresh and clean. I folded them the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lpc5_1896ro">Konmari</a> way. The drawer is a sight to behold. It sparks joy.<br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'HCo Ideal Sans SSm'; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 1.5rem;">
Kondo has come up with what she believes the ideal order to tidy up. Instead of room by room, she asks you to tidy by category: <span style="line-height: 1.4;">Clothes; Books; Papers; Miscellany; Sentimental. I would need to add creative to that, since its big enough to have its own category at my house.</span></div>
She also thanks the things she discards for their place or service in her life.<br />
She talks to the house. (to suss out its spirit -)<br />
She shows respect.<br />
She sparks joy.<br />
<br />
She's adorable.<br />
<br />
I'm ready to attack my house - are you?<br />

Both The Hubs and I love a certain old pottery called 'flow blue'. It was originally a mistake, back in the day when it was made. The blue dye 'flowed' where it shouldn't when the plates, bowls, platters, pitchers and other tableware were fired/glazed. The British manufacturers deemed it inferior and sent it to the colonies - but instead of garnering criticism, it became very popular... instead of a 'mistake' it was thereafter done on purpose as the demand for it grew. I loved the deep blues of this antique dinnerware long before I learned the story - but the story served to make me love it even more. </div>

I have a good bit of this in my house, and so I add pops of color to my otherwise neutral decor by displaying the platters and plates and pitchers here and there. <br />

<br />
Ceramics, pottery, and other like accessories can add pops of color in a small way, or you can opt for a more direct pop with paint.<br />
<br />
While a whole room of deep blue might be a little heavy, anchoring a focal wall with color can bring some personality to a neutral room. I love how in this neutral room, the blue wall adds a focal point and anchors the family photos - all black and white and framed the same size and the same way for uniformity. </div>

I have just discovered your blog and I have spent the last few weekends going through your previous posts..love it!! I need your help with selecting a paint color for my living room and dining room which are open to each other. Both are fairly open to the kitchen (can see both from kitchen with double width entries to both). With the help of another color consultant several years ago I selected BM mellowed Ivory for the kitchen walls, BM River Gorge Gray for my cabinets and BM timid white trim. </div>

I like the cabinet color and pleased with the mellowed ivory for the most part (certain light it can be bit much) but I don't think I would care for it in the living room. I will probably purchase new furniture within the next few years so don't want to base my selection on the furniture (images attached ) but don't want it to look off either. Current floors will be replaced - will probably go with a walnut stain wood. Is there a neutral in the gray tones that would work? If not, open to any other suggestions. Note that we get quite a bit of morning/afternoon light. I appreciate any advise you can provide. Thanks, Cindy</div>

<i>Hi Cindy,</i></div>
<i><span style="font-family: "helveticaneue" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">I think a nice neutral gray is exactly right for your color scheme. Try a few of these colors out in your home and see what looks best. I think you will really like the cooler tones with the upholstery you currently have. And they are neutral - so will probably look as nice with furniture of the future as with the furniture you currently have.</span></span></i><br />

<span style="color: #45818e;"><b>YES, WE ARE (90%) FINISHED...</b></span> I know its been ages, but while we were putting the finishing touches on the master ensuite remodel, we had a major slab leak downstairs and that put everything on the back burner while we re-plumbed, replaced drywall, wainscot, molding, paint and flooring. (More on that later.)<br />
<br />
Just had to post some pictures to show you our progress on the master suite.<br />
<br />
This has been a long awaited project. And a long project.... <br />
<br />
A while ago we discovered problems with the plumbing in the tub/shower in the master bath. We decided to forgo a quick fix in the interest of really doing what we wanted - to pull out the tub and put in a walk-in shower and rip out the old and bring in some 'new'!. We've become 'empty-nesters' so moving to the guest bathroom wasn't much of an inconvenience. I just kept the goal of a complete remodel in my head as I climbed into that tiny tub in the guest bathroom.<br />

We were in the middle of a major kitchen remodel at the time and couldn't take on another major project, so I had a lot of time to plan and dream about the changes I wanted in my bedroom and bath. The master bath hadn't been updated since its construction in the early 90's. Oak vanity, cheap round bulb strip light fixtures (soooo ugly), 2 inch white tile - with old grout - for the tub and shower, old woven berber carpet (ewwww!)... It wasn't just a shower we were redoing, it was basically gutting the whole room.<br />
<br />
Long awaited.<br />
<br />
LONG.<br />

we decided on this new, almost invisible drain</div>

Its always good in a house that has been around for nearly 3 decades like mine, to see what is going on behind those walls and under that flooring. In my case, I found a little water damage (rot) on my sub-floor from a past roof leak (before our purchase - who knew?) and rain damage (more rot) near the doors to the deck that needed repair.<br />

Once that was repaired, the flooring went in. We chose a herringbone pattern in the main bedroom as there was room there to see the pattern.<br />

A lot of wonderful things happened in this space, but I think I was most excited about painting this room a fresh new color. In my head I saw a soft barely there gray/blue/green color. Well that failed spectacularly.<br />
Every swatch I painted on the walls intensified ten fold. They turned bright green, or baby blue, or mint. I finally realized that living with a golf course as your back yard and being surrounded by trees had one disadvantage - other than golfers yelling 'Fore' as they attempted the water hazard at 6am on a Sunday morning - all the green out there was messing with my wall color!<br />
<br />
So, I settled for a neutral. I pulled a color out of the stone in the shower and vanity counter-top and carried it through to the master bedroom. Dunn Edwards CRISP MUSLIN was the perfect color. It has just enough of a color to show up against the white cabinets. Not what I initially wanted, but there are other ways to bring in a little color.<br />
<br />
Then I needed to choose sconces, mirrors, hardware and finalize the selections for a custom vanity.... and although my faucets and shower fixtures were chrome, I chose a vintage brass color for the light fixtures and drawer pulls. When it came down to it the choice of brass was really made for me. The Hubs had his eye on Restoration Hardware's brass framed mirrors. I'm a firm believer that spouses need to contribute to a space - and this and the counter-top material were the things for which he had a definite opinion. With those big brass statements in the room, it was really logical to add the other brass touches. <br />

<a href="http://www.aplushomeimprovements.com/">A Plus Home Improvements</a> (who's fine craftsmanship was my choice for my kitchen remodel) designed my vanity. I had around 8 feet of space to fill and none of the ready-to-install vanities fit properly. <br />

There is really no comparison to the old ugly oak vanity, with its low profile, cramped storage space, and general lack of style and this new custom made beauty. We chose quartzite as the counter material - a natural product and not a man made product - simply because it went so beautifully with the marble in the shower - which I carried through as back-splash and the backdrop for the wall faucets. <br />

I just have to say, I completely love the fact the faucets come out of the wall and that I don't have to constantly wipe around them on the counter-top. They look so good there with the marble back-splash.<br />

After the back-splash and faucets were installed, there was just enough room for the tall brass mirrors. Literally. They were 4 feet tall and went to the top of the wall. We decided on recessed lighting over the sinks because - well - no room for vanity lights! But I did install two brass sconces on that wall for additional light, and additional beauty. <br />

We also added horizontal paneling (ship-lap) to that wall and carried it into the bedroom. The Hubs was not sure about that whole detail, but loves the finished product. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
We installed a ventilation fan over the shower for quick steam and moisture removal. It's so quiet I have to check the wall switches to make sure its on. We added a clear glass shower enclosure and now your eye goes right to the back wall and that beautiful marble with nothing blocking the view. <br />

<br />
Makes the room seem much larger. The shower niche is hidden - as are all the shampoo bottles and soap - on the back side of the pony wall that backs to the vanity. I didn't want any shampoo bottles detracting from the marble on the shower wall. <br />
<br />
The plus of removing a tub and putting a shower in its place is that the shower turns out to be quite roomy. I'm thinking I need a teak bench on the window side. I decided against a built-in bench one to be covered in marble - it just seemed like that would be a really cold seat... but a warm wood bench would have the feel of a spa - and as water rarely reaches that far unless you aim the wand at it - I could stack towels on it and soften that area up a little.<br />

The exposed thermostatic shower system is a thing of beauty. Nuff said.<br />
<br />
When we were demoing the space, I removed the door and door frame to the toilet. The room was so tiny that we actually never closed the door there - it got a bit claustrophobic if you did. <br />

The bedroom built-in unit has been installed and I'm trying to find the right accessories to add, with lots of help from The Hubs, (things keep appearing on the shelves that have no rhyme or reason in the decorating scheme). The built-in was a bit costly - as is all custom cabinetry - but so needed. It fills that very tall wall and provides a home for the flat screen, books and accessories.<br />

Since a door was required to the toilet area, I found two antique doors and hung them - barn door style - on the opening to the dressing area. It solved two problems at once: the claustrophobic toilet room and being able to turn the light on or have an early morning shower without disturbing your sleeping spouse...(usually me). An added plus - it looks pretty darn good.<br />

I chose Behr Swiss Coffee for the ship-lap walls and trim in this room - and also for the ceilings and cabinets. I like the warmth of their Swiss Coffee - and the white brightens up the area nicely. The Hubs was not too sure of the shiplap in its initial stages, but loved the finished product. I carried that shiplap behind the sink to the wall behind the bed to pull the two rooms together. Still to be completed is that same treatment behind the toilet.<br />
<br />

We still have a few more things to do. Install open floating shelves above the toilet. Solar shades and curtains for the windows, new bedding and a bench for the foot of the bed. Finishing and furnishing the deck will be next... all on hold now that we are repairing the downstairs...but still so much better than it was!<br />

Every few years our carefully selected decor starts to look a little weary.<br />
Tired.<br />
Boring.<br />
Same old stuff, different day...<br />
You know what I'm talking about.<br />
The feeling that the world has moved on to new and exciting trends and we sit here - stagnant...<br />
<br />

It may not necessarily be time for a big change<br />
but it may be time to make a few simple changes to update the look you have.<br />
Little updates can breathe new life into your decor. (Actually, if you were to do small updates on a fairly regular basis, you could hold off the 'big changes' for quite some time.)<br />
<br />
A new trend is afoot that may take your breath away. Are you ready for wallpaper to make a comeback? How about very bold, very large scale wallpaper? Have a look at these examples and tell me what you think....<br />
<br />
would you ever do something this bold?<br />

What do you think? Some of these are pretty bold. I found a few I loved, though, big and bold and sassy. I could see one in my office, or a kids room - did you find any that spoke to you?<br />

I'm a fall baby. Born in October, I always love the end of the year seasons, when the air turns crisper, colors turn warmer, and the promise of family gatherings and Christmas cheer are on the horizon. <br />
<br />
On the other hand, Spring is a pretty magical time, too. I love the new growth in the garden, and picking new plants, and bringing the outdoors inside a little with plants, flowers and accessories. Nature can be heady. Moss can be magical. Spring casts a certain spell...<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It cast a rose spell on us - The Hubs and I had a slight sprinkler problem and some plants had to be removed for the repair - which left a little room in the garden for more roses.... Here's what came home with us...</div>

I love the look of these multi-petaled English roses and the amazing color and fragrance. We actually went back for another of the white romantica rose, Bolero. Once it bloomed we were stunned at its size (4") and beauty. It has over 100 petals and opens up with just a blush of pink in the center and has a wonderful scent. We fell in love. </div>

I look forward to the Spring Celebration at Rogers Gardens, a plant nursery in Corona del Mar, California, each year. They are are a serious nursery, and a large one, but more than that - they also have several gift shops, a restaurant and an on-site florist. <br />

Each Spring, their team of florists fill the largest of the gift shops with dozens of beautiful fresh arrangements for their Spring Celebration. It's a bountiful display of their considerable talents that looks beautiful and smells even better. I can provide a look for you here ....I wish I could also send the aroma!<br />

<br />
Just 1 week away from starting our master bedroom and bath remodel I suddenly realized what a task it was going to be. Not only did I have to move everything out of the bathroom, closet and bedroom (everything), but I also needed to move us into the guest room for a prolonged stay as we gutted the master suite.<br />
<br />
It was long anticipated and even longer needed, but I didn't relish the cramped quarters, the dust, the smell of tar, drywall paste and paint. <br />
<br />
These rooms hadn't been touched since the construction of this home in the very early 90's, except for possibly carpet or paint - and neither done by us. We moved here in 2001.<br />
<br />
I don't know why this was one of the last rooms in our house to get a new look. I suppose it was because it was more than a face lift - it was a complete remodel - and there were other areas of the house that needed our attention first...(see <a href="https://yournestdesign.blogspot.com/2017/02/my-kitchen-remodel.html">Kitchen post</a>). <br />
<br />
The plans for this remodel included removing the tub (because we never ever used it) (also because it was ugly) and installing a shower in its place. We removed the outdated vanity and extremely outdated light fixtures and mirror, installed new flooring, new paint, new windows, new tile, a new built-in dresser/bookcase unit, new electrical, new vanity and new plumbing. Still to come is a new ceiling fan, bedding, curtains and accessories. As always seems to be the case, the budget got a little stretched with the discovery of some water damage and dry rot in the sub-flooring and a few other little surprises. Surprises were expected - and we were able to resolve them quickly. <br />
<br />
We have a deck off of our master bedroom. It is such a wonderful thing to have with a beautiful view of the golf course and the water hazard... but it is a wonderful thing we have never, ever, used. We recently converted it from a standard style deck (rain, dirt and leaves fall through the decking to the patio below) to a solid surface (rain, dirt and leaves stay on top). It makes the patio below oh so much more livable. The deck; however, remains a project. It's extremely hot there in the mornings and only a little shaded in the afternoon. I plan to carry the tile I used in the bedroom to the outside to make it more livable. I will somehow need to create shade. I would like it to be a lovely retreat in the morning instead of a walk on the sun.... Suggestions appreciated.<br />
<br />
The master suite, with the addition of bedding and window coverings, will be a lovely, calm, uncluttered retreat - even though at this point in our lives the only thing we would be retreating from would be the dogs...<br />
<br />
I truly love Pinterest - have I mentioned this before? It is a wonderful cache for a creative mind - I so love that they finally have sub-files- so that my Christmas, Halloween, Food and Craft boards aren't so impossibly large and hard to manage. How can you possibly find things when you have to sift through thousands of photos? Instead of 10 different Christmas boards, I can eventually have just one, like a file drawer, that will open and with other 9 boards combined inside in their respective categories. A bit of an organizational curve is involved while transferring everything to sub-files....but worth it.<br />
<br />
Anyway, back on subject... I mentioned Pinterest because it is a great place to store your inspiration photos. Often, when working with clients, we start a joint Pinterest board to store ideas and resources. Here is what I posted on my remodel board.<br />

the mirrors were 4 feet tall and that left NO room for a vanity light on top.<br />

One of the problems with this room I wanted to resolve was the open floor plan<br />
that made the sleeping area open to the dressing area. <br />
It was impossible to sleep through the Hubs getting ready for an early morning workout. <br />

Another problem was the tiny toilet room - we practically had to climb onto the toilet to close the door.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hoped to be able to add doors to the dressing area entrance, and remove the door to the toilet</div>

Keith and I are so honored to have you as friends and welcome you to our home this holiday season...<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We just moved back into our master suite after its remodel - still a few details to finish up - but we are so happy with the results and we are feeling more settled now that we are back in our own room.<br />
<br />
James arrived home yesterday for Christmas and his cousin, Matt, will join us this weekend. James has a new job and is doing very well in San Francisco.<br />

Keith has enjoyed a full year of retirement and is of the opinion that it is 'awesome'. He takes care of the garden and the dogs, my honey-do list, spends time with his friends and works out. <br />

Bailey is turning 9 this month and is sweet, and big, as ever.<br />

Ziggy came to our house to stay and settled right in with Bailey. I had visions of me dragging him home from the neighbors each day... but he seems to know he belongs with us and always comes home.<br />
<br />
I am still designing and enjoying it. This year has been very very busy and I have worked on many exciting new projects including Holiday decorating for several clients (see my prior post).<br />
<br />
Once the decorating was done at our house, I hosted a party with some of my besties. Shawna Henrie was there and took some pictures (because that's what she does so very well (aka <a href="http://www.bleudogfotography.com/">Bleudog Fotography</a>) - she makes my home look good!) So, I'm happy to take you on a little tour of our Holiday Cheer, courtesy of Bleudog Fotography..<br />

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!<br />
<br />
With my Halloween party behind me, and the littles coming tonight for trick or treat, I decided to post the pictures my friend and photographer of <a href="http://www.bleudogfotography.com/">Bleudog Fotography</a>, Shawna Henrie took of the decorations. This year it was all about the projects.... I was successful in completing a few on my list and it was so fun to take a little time to create...<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although I try to change things up a little each year, these little pumpkin lights are one of my favorite decorations and I do them the same every year. Each year these happy little jack-o-lanterns light up the front of the house on the climbing roses.</div>

The Hubs has a new hobby - he stalks Zillow, looking at all the places we could live and the amazing houses we could own in other places in America for the price of living in Orange County, California. Here we have a tract home in a nice neighborhood, on a golf course, with a postage stamp sized yard. We could have twice the house and 4 x the land in Texas, Georgia, Utah, Oregon or North Carolina...to name a very few, with ocean or lake views. But this is South Orange County - we have amazing weather, beautiful sandy beaches and incredible surf. There are mountains, the desert and the beach all within a couple hours driving time. There is a steep price tag for living here. <br />
<br />
The Hubs has no real intention of leaving his native state .... yet....<br />
But it is fun to look. <br />
<br />
When we purchased our home 17 years ago, we were pleased that there were upgraded baseboards, window casings and crown molding in some of the rooms. We were pleased because a tract home is usually sorely lacking in any of the finishing touches we believe a home should have. We have been upgrading a little each year, with our largest project so far being the extension of the family room and a complete remodel of the kitchen. <br />
<br />
The difference between tract and custom homes can often be seen in the details. Not everyone can own a custom home, nor wishes to - however, we can all benefit from more beautiful details.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
So, instead of living in a 'custom' home with beautiful details... I'm trying to make my tract home feel more custom by adding details. <br />
<br />
And you can, too.<br />
<br />
It can be as simple as <b>framing your doors and windows</b> in wider than the standard 2.5" moldings<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you've heard the story about the girl, the shoes and the prince...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you will have the theme of this fairytale wedding...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you've followed any of the weddings I have done, you will know that the delight for me is in the details. All the little touches that take a wedding from ordinary to something a little bit fabulous.</div>

So this wedding was a delight to plan and see come together, with a lot of help from our friends.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A lot of friends helped us create so many of these details. Thursday nights were project nights at my house with hours of gluing moss, covering books, creating table numbers, putting programs together and enjoying delicious food. They made these tasks easy! We so appreciate all who helped! <br />

Shawna of <a href="http://www.bleudogfotography.com/">Bleudog Photography</a> not only photographed the wedding, but did florals with me - for 2 days...with her multi-talented hands...<br />

<br />
Things have been moving along steadily at the beach house. In our last update we installed flooring - except for the kitchen and dining area as that area had to stay put for a while. It would eventually become a very different floor plan than the original.<br />
<br />
Now, the kitchen is nearly complete, the master bath is nearly complete, the living room has more updates and we have a new dining room. The 2nd bathroom is complete. There have been major changes in the yard. Not a lot that is totally complete - but, a lot of progress.<br />
<br />
Want to see what's been happening? <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>KITCHEN....</b></div>
In this cottage, what passed as a kitchen was barely big enough to turn around. Shawna could stir a pot on the stove with one hand and wash dishes with the other - seriously. Just adjacent to the tiny kitchen; however, was a larger space with outside access to the front patio. This was probably an addition at some point in the life of this house and was possibly used as a dining room. Originally I thought that we could push everything in the kitchen forward to create a larger space... but it really made more sense to just switch spaces with the adjacent dining area. One of the charms of an old beach cottage is that there is a crawl space under the house - so rerouting plumbing is a piece of cake....<br />
<br />
I sketched out two options for the kitchen.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>

<br />
The first one left the front wall and entry door intact. Shawna wasn't sure she wanted to eliminate that door to the front deck. It wasn't my favorite option. There were 4 doors to enter this part of the house and I felt we could do away with one of them. It would barely be missed.<br />
<br />

The second version - replaced the outside door with a bank of windows and placed the kitchen sink under them. So much better to have a window at the kitchen sink, don't you agree? This version provided a lot more counter and storage space. Another reason it was my preferred choice was it just had a better look. Instead of seeing a wall of major appliances and cabinets at your first glance into the room (i.e., fridge, range, microwave, cabinets...) there was a pretty spectacular wall of beautiful tile, a stainless range hood and open shelving on either side. Sort of like this picture...<br />

Shawna agreed she could do without that extra door to the patio and she liked the 2nd plan. We were off and running. Well, jogging... <br />
<br />
Okay, we drove to the tile and cabinet stores.<br />
<br />
<br />
On Demo Day, the first thing to go, was the outside kitchen wall... <br />

In no time at all, the wall was up again with a bank of windows and we were ready to map out the cabinets.<br />

Meanwhile, everything else Shawna owned, including the fridge, was crowded into the living room...<br />
A remodel is hell - don't let anyone tell you otherwise. But it is short lived and really, really worth it...<br />

The rest was pretty much by the book as they added recessed lighting, rewired electrical outlets, updated plumbing and framed out doors and windows.<br />

Outside of the house my green thumbed friend has made big changes. A flagstone path is in progress and the big bad tree that decided to visit the neighbors (with its roots) is no longer standing. Its big sister, not as bad as her brother, still offers lots of shade. <br />

Little by little Shawna is making her beach cottage - <i>barely livable when she first moved in</i> - a charming, enviable home. <br />

I think of accessories in the home as the jewelry...<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The items you put on last - to accessorize and compliment your outfit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They aren't actually useful really...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they don't organize, or have a specific function. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But they are important in a non-essential way - adding interest, color, personality and beauty to a room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One accessory in particular; however, has proven it can be both 'useful' and 'jewelry'.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Trays are a useful item for carting things to and from the table, but that isn't the tray's only talent.</div>
