“I rarely comment on blogs, but I thought it is just not fair that you have no “thank yous” here for such great informative content. This is exactly what I have been looking for.

Trend Alert - Curvy, Wavy, & Squiggly Décor
Geometric design has always been a fixture in design because, well, geometry. In recent years though, geometric design has meant a preference for a lot of triangular and rectilinear hard-edged forms in everything from logos to wall art to planters.

Garden Design Ideas: My Landscape Mood Board & Planning Process
I undertook a major landscape redesign project last spring of the side garden of my home. Now that it’s grown in some, I want to show you how it turned out, which I’ll do soon.

Black and white bathrooms kept popping up on my Pinterest mood boards.
