Let’s uncork Pantone’s New Color of the Year!
Marsala is Pantone’s 2015 Color of the Year! What a warm and earthy change from the recent previous years’ color selections! Marsala, with its red-brown tones, embodies sophistication and style.

Well, with this bath we chose a neutral color palette, elongated tile designs and glass to make the space feel bigger. We selected 6” X 24” gray ceramic floor tile and laid it vertical to the tub to create an illusion of a longer room. We then added a 12” wide band of decorative tile in the center of the tube surround to draw the eye upward. Finally, we added an updated vanity with quartz counter, updated...

My husband and I had plans to go to the shore last weekend, but the weather sounded, well let’s just say “wet”. So we decided to hang out at home and rediscover what a blessing a screen porch can be! A little rain didn’t bother us, comfy and cozy in our porch we enjoyed the outdoors without a care. With weatherproof window panels and rug, along with sun resistant fabrics our porch is ready to use 3 seasons a year. So bring it on Mother Nature, we have it covered!

https://www.flickr.com/photos/esecosky/10727873214/ Decorating with BurlapNovember 7, 2013 The holidays are fast approaching and it got me thinking about what is trending this year. Those of us who have been around a while know what’s old becomes new at some point and right now – burlap is all the rage! It is a great, inexpensive & multifunctional fabric.
