I love finding creative home décor ideas. Here’s one that I found on www.psimadethis.com, a chandelier made from a bushel basket. And you don’t have to go apple picking to get a basket, they are readily available at craft stores like A.C. Moore. Cheap, relatively easy and chic, it doesn’t get any better than that!
The easiest, most cost effective way to change your decor for spring is PILLOWS. Oh how I love pillows !
They lighten brighten and freshen the room for around $20. Love them!
Here is one of my favorite pillows by Pier 1
How are you going to lighten up for spring?
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.
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
