Personalized Gift Tags...too much? NEVER!!

editing the colors of your kitchen plates and bowls

my kitchen at the carriage house

tip of the day: pick 2 or 3 colors/styles only for your kitchen plates, cups, glasses, etc. stay with your choices at times - sippy cup colors COUNT TOO!!! thus, even though you have obtained loads of different pieces from different sets over the years, it all still looks good on a your shelves!!

display your bling - hooks

If you don't have your own dressing room you can easily turn a closet or bathroom into a showcase for your bling and favorite things. Buy some hooks for the walls and they type that hang over doors. Hang your favorite scarves and necklaces. You can also use hooks to showcase your favorite hang bags. Choose colors that match your home decor so that the items become part of your design scheme.
