The bearded man...

I live in the Northwest where beards reign. They don't do much for me but I know many a woman who swoon for these bearded men. My dad had a beard for most of my young childhood and I use to love to play with it and was heart broken when he shaved it off. Who knew he was so hip.
What do beards do for you?

Organizing...

Spring is just around the corner (Yay!) and that means for many spring cleaning/organizing. Sometimes I think this might be better for those short winter days but you know there is no wrong time to clean and organize.
To be successful one needs the right tools. I have a few ideas what those can be and they are perfect for any home or room, really.

Lockers...

really perfect for anything needing storing

source

Wooden drawer cabinet...

perfect for all that paper work we seem to have to keep

source

Victorian House Keeper Cabinet...

for all your linens

source

Industrial Metal drawer unit...

for all the little things that always need a home.

source

Industrial Metal Tool Bit Cabinets...

line these drawers in velvet and store all your favorite jewels.

You have a few more months before it's Spring so start hunting for that perfect vintage piece that is going to make Spring cleaning that much more fun to do.

Ciao,

Personal style...

The other day on Facebook a friend posted a list of trends that people want to see go away based on a article she saw...it started a really good conversation through the comments from a lot of friends. After reading them it made me think, what is on trend?
I've been in the design business for 20 years and one thing I know is that we all have our own style and that it is reflected in our homes and in what we wear. There are no wrong answers in telling ones' own story. Sure there are trends and fads and a long list of who's who in the design world telling us how we should decorate and style our homes but when it comes right down to it, it's your story to tell whether you like an all white room or a dark and moody room you are the one who is going to have to live in it and should reflect you and your lifestyle.
So, go out...be bold...buck the trend and tell YOUR story!
