Hi there! I hope you are all having a nice summer! We are having a stay-cation this year at our neighborhood pool, since we can't be away from a few of our projects at the moment. We're thinking about heading to the mountains in East Tennessee for a short trip in the fall though. If you have suggestions on where to stay or what to see in the Great Smokies, let me know! We are thinking more ... View Post
Hi to You Who are New!

I would love to give you an ... View Post

Hopefully you didn't get scared away by accidentally stopping by our bigger showroom (the one that we're moving into in March), because it looks pretty shabby. If you don't believe me, here it ...

Happy February!
Hi everyone! I can't believe it's February already-- has anyone decorated for Valentine's Day this year? In the past, we've always had lots of little homemade heart banners and garlands out but this year I've totally forgotten! I figured it was too late to bother for this year, but then Bennett (age 9) asked if she could be in charge of decorating. Here's the faux fireplace in our dining ... View Post
