    My entire house is ready for a makeover but my current candidate would be my master bedroom. I’m looking for a new light and airy look. I’d love an eclectic uncluttered look with an oriental flair.

    We moved here 4 years ago and until the last year has been brown-ly drab. I’ve been adding color here and there but still lacking the “charm” I want to see. Help!

    What a exciting thought to think I could get some help with our den. It’s a room everyone sits in & it sure shows. I feel like it is such a dark room since we have a screen porch off of it. What a better way to start off our new year with a Fresh looking inviting den to use for us & guest. Maybe I will get lucky.
