Yes, I know that tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and you might be thinking that I have jumped the gun a bit by bringing up the "C" word already.  But there really is a very good reason why I am getting ready to spend my afternoon wrapping Christmas presents.   My father past away in the spring of '99.  My mom and dad got married in 1941 when my mom was only 20; so pretty much her entire adult life was with my dad.  As that first Christmas was approaching I knew that the holiday season without him was going to be incredibly hard.  I live here on the west coast, while most of my family still resides in the Ohio/Kentucky area.  I knew that I would not be able to be with her, but I somehow wanted to make Christmas special.  I knew that she was feeling very lonely so I got the idea of sending her...

I come from a family of 4 girls.  Yes, my poor dad has 4 daughters, amazing he stayed sane!  And to make matters worse he raised us girls over a 40 year period.  That is right, my parents were in there early 20's when my oldest two sisters (Pat and Jeanne) were born, my sister Mary came along when Pat and Jeanne were in HS and I made my presence known when my parents were in their early 40's.  Bless their hearts!!! I grew up on the conservative west side of Cincinnati, Ohio.  To this day my other three sisters (and most of their children and grandchildren) all live fairly close.  Now as a child, I was the "good" kid, I left the "wild child" stuff to my sister :)    But as adults... I have been the lone renegade. In my late 20's my husband and I moved away.  We packed up the boxes, loade...

 Covington, WashingtonA popular design choice for a family room in the Pacific Northwest is a palette that reflects the natural beauty surrounding us, with rugged furnishings in the colors and elements of the great outdoors. In this room makeover, Interior Re Designers and real Estate Stagers, Julianna Hind, IRIS, and Barbi Ford, IRIS, provided a color fix -- color consultation bringing in a beautiful Eggplant color on the fireplace wall, replaceing a burgundy wine color. BEFORE (to the left) the fireplace needs to remain the focal point in the room, so we used the large picture over the top of it.  Visit Romspinners on the web at www.roomspinners.com

OUR PASSION for creating lovable, livable spaces recently took us to a great home full of personality -- inside and out -- newly built in the Southeast Washington countryside. Our project home sat on acres of fields, all fenced to contain the rescued goats roaming freely on the property. Our homeowners passion, her love of animals, consumed her free hours when not at her job, took hours of time and care. Her new home was filled with all treasures, memoirs from family, travel, and favorite finds -- yet it didn't seem to flow, and the home was in need of a decorative touch that in her words, would "take it to the next level." So with our tool kits stocked and loaded into our "company car" -- the Ford Family Honda Pilot -- we met our homeowner once again to begin day one of our move-in pro...

This Covington, Washington bungalow was recently remodeled with an Arts and Crafts style. Competingwith contemporary town-homes and condos in the area can be a challenge for an older home, but the desirable Arts and Crafts style, accentuated by the perfect furnishings and decor, sparkled with a style all it's own. After our staging, multiple bids came in during the open house, and when all was said and done, this home brought in 10,000 over the asking price!         Thanks for visiting!
