Hi everyone. I am finally sharing some of our new old house. If you are new, we moved from our 5,000 sq ft homeinto a charming rental (that needed love) that we have owned for over 25 years. We sold some of our furniture with the home but brought many pieces with us and many more are in storage. Our new home is just over 2,000 sq feet with an additional office and 1/2 bath off the garage. It is all in progress, but our bedroom is nearly done, so I am sharing it as-is. I have ordered a ...

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.

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 ...

How to Style a Console
I am a huge fan of a good console. A creatively styled console gives a foyer, wall, or sofa importance. When styling your table or console piece pull accent colors from the rugs, fabrics, or art in the room.

If you have a lot of empty space under the table consider filling it in with baskets, boxes, or ottomans. Let's take a look at How to Style a Console. I am no ...
