Happy Sunday everyone. We are deep into unpacking mode here (and I do mean deep). I am popping in with a quick post for my Sunday Favorites with Annie and Mary Ann. Today it is all about blue and white, mushroom soup, and more. Who doesn't love blue and white, right? AMANDA LINDROTH DESIGN Our weather has been terrible here. Foggy, drizzly, and chilly.

Simple Flower Arrangements You Can Create from Your Garden
Today Annie, Mary Ann, and I are joining some of our favorite bloggers for some indoor garden & floral inspiration. I love to garden, but I am not much of an indoor gardener. I do currently have three indoor plants that are still alive. Two (standard olives) that will probably have to move outside when we move this week. I am hoping I can find a place for the Split Leaf Philodendron that I have in my entryway. It is actually healthy and I have kept it alive for about six months a record ...

Creative Ways to Decorate With Mirrors
The fabulous thing about mirrors is they can make small spaces feel larger. They can be used to create a focal point, or they can blend in and allow the rest of your decor to pop. If you place a mirror behind a light source it will reflect the natural light in a room. Mirrors create the illusion of space so they can really help make a small room feel bigger. To achieve a personal, collected look, which of course is my favorite, shop yard sales and thrft shops for interesting frames that can ...
Wide Leg Pants for Women over 50
I have noticed some sites call them culottes (if they are cropped), some sites call them Palazzo Pants and some just plain old wide leg. Whatever you choose to call them, I think they can be quite flattering on women our age. Let's take a look at Wide Leg Pants for Women over 50 and discuss their history. According to Wikipedia “Palazzo pants are long women's pants cut with a loose, extremely wide leg that flares out from the waist”. “Culottes are an item of clothing worn on the ...

Stylish Solutions for Small Baths
Kelly, one of my readers, recently contacted me and asked me if I would ever consider doing a post on Powder Rooms. Interestingly enough our fixer-upper involves reconfiguring a half bath to make room for a tiny shower and vanity that will be our master bath. Not only was Kelly's request timely it got me thinking about an idea for a new series. I get a lot of emails about specific problems so I thought it would be fun to do a monthly post titled "Ask Cindy". If you would like to have a chance ...
