Spring Cleaning



Spring is a season of change.  This isn't profound, I know.  I think many of us feel this way.  I'm certainly more aware of time passing as the days get longer and the sun appears more often.  This spring also marks two years of blogging for me.  So, with the change in seasons and anniversary, I've updated the blog with a new format and lighter colors.  I hope you like the changes. 

When I started blogging, my focus was strictly interior design. Sometimes, it's been difficult to articulate exactly why I've liked a certain room or a certain style.  But the more I've seen, the more I've learned.  And what holds true is that I've never been interested in trends or fads.  Sure, it happened once in the 80s when I impulsively had my hair cut short during the Princess Diana fervor and a semester in London (somehow I'd avoided the 70s Dorothy Hamill haircut, so it was bound to happen).  Never again.  

You may notice a change in post topics. Jewelry, clothing and other things may find a place here along with interiors.   But I will stay true to my appreciation for all that is classic, well made and beautiful.  Even if it's slightly frivolous or unaffordable once in awhile.  Just for fun.  The economy may still be broken, but my search engine is going strong.

  4. I love your new look Deb and look at you you're beautiful. One of the fun things about a blog is that it's yours and you can post about anything you want whether budget minded or not.

    BTW I tried the paint color and it went sort of blue on me! Does anyone have a true gray?

  5. Janet - Thanks. I'm glad you like the new format.

    Liz - Thanks for the vote of confidence.

    Q - It is fun to window shop from home once in a while.

    Debra - Hmm. I know what you mean about the paint color. The other two I have tried are BM Classic Gray (you may need to have it made darker at the paint store) and BM Coventry Gray. Coventry Gray is a deep color, but doesn't appear to go blue. I don't believe you'll have a problem with Classic Gray appearing blue.

  6. Great topic, being a newer blogger it is easy to venture off topic and I think thats what keeps things interesting, we are not one sided and cannot be expected to only thing of one subject all the time, its important to act out on what we are feeling passionate about! Love your blog..will be back, its wonderful! Great topic..please visit me, at my new blog (3 months old in a few days) about the building of our new home and my passion for decor/design!
