Arts & Crafts Style class

 

 

Yesterday  my  "Arts & Crafts Style on the Cheap" was held at the Roycroft Copper Shop. It was a great morning. Attendees came from the Buffalo area but also from Washington DC and Canada’s Niagara-on-the-Lake.

Attendees learned lots of tips for developing the mission or arts & crafts style for their homes. One section was about "if you can only afford one item for that room" what should that be. Sound like a presentation you would like? Stay tuned for when this class is offered next.

Decorating with vacation finds

 

 

I hope this long winter has you dreaming and planning of a sunny vacation spot. If you are lucky enough to go someplace warm this winter, be sure to bring back seashells or seaglass. These treasures make excellent decorating  pieces. They help to personalize your home and they are free!

I am excited to announce I will be teaching a class in a couple weeks called Arts and Crafts Style on the Cheap.

It will be held Saturday morning February 27, 2010 at the Roycroft Campus, East Aurora NY (about 20 miles outside of Buffalo, NY)

You will learn the elements of the Arts & Crafts style including color palette, furniture details, and how to accessorize. Because this can be an expensive style to decorate in, I will show you tricks to get a love mission styled home without  spending a lot.

Reservation are required. For more information and to register for the class go to: Roycroft Campus

I can’t wait to see you there. Be sure to bring your questions and photos of your room in progress

Jane Austen says it well

Nothing like being inside on a cold winter day to apprecate this quote by Jane Austen:

"There’s nothing like staying home for real comfort"

Lift your spirits

Did you know that they last Monday in January is said to be the most depressing day of the year?

Need a lift?

Go and splurge on fresh flowers! It instantly makes the room feel bright and cheery. It will help chase the winter blahs away!

Extreme Makeover Neighborhood Edition

On January 24, ABC aired the Buffalo episode of Extreme Makeover Home Edition. I thought the producers did a nice job showing the spirit of Buffalo. Wasn’t it impressive to see all the volunteers and projects completed?!

Did you watch it? What did you think?

PS. The scene I shot with Ty must have ended up on the cutting room floor. I saw my arm and back of my head in one scene. That’s OK – I had a blast!
