    Now that the kitchen remodel is complete, my family room needs a lot of TLC! One new room makes the others look dated! 🙂

    My bedroom!.I haven’t done a thing to it since I moved in 8 years ago. It isn’t even on my project list because I can’t figure out what my “grown up” room should look like! All the other rooms have a plan, but not my space!

    It looks like a very down to earth decorating book Rhoda and I could certainly use some help with; oh let’s see…. ditto what Peggy R. said plus our bedroom, the guest room and a short boring hallway here at the cottage…… yes, sadly I’m still working on that.
    Wishing you and yours a happy and prosperous 2015!
