When planning this year’s holiday table and you realize you’re in need of a new tablecloth don’t limit your options to disposable plastic, something covered in smiling pumpkins or gigantic poinsettia blooms.  Think outside the box.  I love decorating for the holidays. And I want things to look beautiful. But I also love handmade or even homespun touches to my holiday tablescapes.  With today’s holiday tablecloth you get all of

I still remember the first curtains I ever picked out & purchased for myself. Floor length panels for our living room and I adored them. They were perfect!

Today I’m sharing a board mounted scalloped & pleated valance that’s traditional in design yet full of details that can be incorporated in so many different curtain projects.   In the Gallery of this

I am so thrilled to share this gorgeous home with you!  Tamara and I collaborated long distance on several window treatments for her home. With long distance projects I don’t always have the chance to share photos. Currently, Tamara’s home is on the market and we now have these lovely photos to share not only the window treatments but her entire house!
