Here are a few ideas to quickly and easily update some decor pieces you probably already have in your home.
First up is a decorative mirror that was given to me some years ago. I believe originally the mirror was gold, then someone painted it red & gold, then I painted it brown, probably 15 years ago. I am not a fan of brown these days and this piece was dusty and drab and needed to be freshened up!

I was in need of a fresh, clean look.
Design that’s all about you…
We recently began design work on a master bathroom renovation. The clients have a casual, rustic country style and are not afraid of color. The previous owners of the home had a Scandinavian & somewhat contemporary style with hardly any color on the walls. Although, the present owners have updated much of the home, they needed some assistance in order to create a bath that better reflects their tastes.
