East Meets West or is it West Meets East? I wrote this article with photos contributed by others.

Is Your Home a Healing Refuge? Rainy days are a fact of life. When a bad day leaves you soaking wet do you have a place to dry off? When unexpected accidents, injuries or illnesses get you down, does your home leave you out in the cold or high and dry? Or does your dwelling envelop you with the comfort you need and well-being you seek? When LIFE gets the better of you can your domain really help you cope? […]
Interior Designers Embrace the Return of Pastels! For the first time Pantone introduces two shades, 13-1520 Rose Quartz and 3919 Serenity as the PANTONE Color of the Year 2016.

Add any metallic for […]

Fall brings pumpkin and apple picking, corn mazes, hayrides, and harvest festivals. We take time to connect with family, relax, and have some fun. I love heading to the farm in the fall. As a kid, we headed to the farm where my mother was born. My sister married a sheep rancher and my kids loved visiting their country cousins. And now my mother-in-law is living on a farm near her childhood home. Farmers work hard for the bounty they […]
Black is finally at the forefront of decorating fashion. I’m talking about a new feminine glamorous vibe with black as a major dramatic character. Not the weird 1990’s all black. These photos were snapped in High Point during market. Notice the black walls are balanced by other strong elements. The table and headboard stand up to the black on their own. The metallic gold and silver accents help avoid the black hole effect and the dark brown woods add warmth. […]
Designing international model homes may not be every American child’s dream but for me, it feels perfectly normal. Why? For one, as a little girl, I adored visiting my dad at his commercial construction business where I first picked up my love for design. For another, I delighted in our family vacations, where our road trips across the USA and Mexico included destinations with endless fascinating things to explore. After our trips I would often go to our lake at […]

During her 70 year career, she was an author and illustrator of children’s books, a book designer, a printmaker, a textile designer, and a painter. She brought good design to the common man for the first time by designing […]
