SO THIS IS CHRISTMAS….

Christmas in CroatiaSo this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

OLD AND YOUND HANDS
A very Merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

0aaa58d73e472fbd9b13c11376c598b4
And so this is Christmas (war is over)
For weak and for strong (if you want it)
For rich and the poor ones (war is over)
The world is so wrong (now)
And so happy Christmas (war is over)
For black and for white (if you want it)
For yellow and red ones (war is over)
Let's stop all the fight (now)

A very Merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

THE ART OF WINDOW TREATMENT

I have discovered yet another designer full of youthful inspiration and exuberant creativity that will keep you in your seat reading post after post!

Nichole Jacobson of Jacobson Interior Design

Posted on April 23, 2013 by Erisha

Window treatments – that oft overlooked design element – can be hugely impactful to great room design. It tends to be the last thing we think about (much to the room’s detriment!) when we plan our design. Simply put, they’re one of the best ways to help express a unique design aesthetic and punch up the room’s personality.

There are tons of reasons to consider your window treatment, but first, please consider The Golden Rule of drape placement.

DON’T:                                                                          DO:

41813Drapes

These two windows are exactly the same size, but the window on the right looks much larger. This, my friends is the secret to hanging draperies. Always, always, hang your drapes to the ceiling! Where possible, extend the drapes wider horizontally. This will make so much difference folks! Just say no to bad drape placement.

So, what are the advantages of a great window treatment?

EXUBERANT WITH DETAIL AND COLOR

This title, descriptive words from her own web site, sums up the delightful design style of 

Mayme Baker Studio.  I recently became aware of  this sassy and sophisticated  interior designer via

The French Tangerine  (yet another source of fantastic inspiration!)

Using her own words….

“Compelling yet calming….”

BUFFALOS AREN’T PLAID!

I know!  Old joke!  But you have to admit, it is an odd word combination to describe such a popular and adored  print in the design industry.  We all love it though and my favorite combination is blue and white!

Blue is such a popular color this Spring 2014 and

paired with white, it is superbly fresh and friendly!

It lends itself to a multitude of design options….

Always making a happy statement!

In whatever application, it is sure to

compliment many colors….

and many décor styles!
