t-crossing and i-dotting

"Crossing too many t's and dotting too many i's makes a room look overdone and tiresome. one should create something that fires the imagination without overemphasis."
 -Nancy Lancaster


Risk taking! It's fun and it adds that extra "pop" in your home. I recommend! Oh, definitely. Yes. I do! 


Take a hint from some of these risk takers. 


Paint your mantle yellow. It won't hurt anything! Sure won't!

Go "statement" with your rug. Invest in one that makes your heart sing...

Gingham wallpaper! Methkins melikes it!
