Valentine’s Day

February 14

Valentine’s Day: The Holiday of LOVE! With so much commercialism, it is hard to remember the true reason we all look forward to holidays.  They give us a break from the normal every day routine and allow us an opportunity to take a few minutes to focus on the meaning of the holiday.

I love Valentine’s Day and have hosted many dinner parties to gather with friends in celebration of LOVE!  I go all out. The table is set with fine china, white embroidered table cloth, and fresh flowers.  I prepare a special dinner with at least two desserts and, of course, there is always chocolate. Each guest is asked to tell a special story of how they met or something funny that happen in their adventures with their partner over the years. The wine and stories flow.

Spring Break Decor

April 18

 

It is time to take a break from the winter boredom of “same old same old”. Pull back the curtains, let the light in, roll up the rugs, and dust off the drab and gloomy. Start a renewal, or rebirth if you will, in your home or work place. Here is my short list of how to go from boring to fantastic with a few quick changes.

50 Shades of Gray – for your Home and Office

March 1

On an overcast, rainy day like today it is hard not to think about the color gray. With the current release of the movie “50 Shades of Gray” inspired by E. L. James’s book, it seems everyone is talking even more about all those amazing shades between black and white. While I haven’t read the book or seen the movie, I have always been inspired by the endless possibilities gray’s palette offers.

What’s in a Name?

January 22

Welcome to January 2015! As I put away holiday decorations, purge files and flip my calendar to the New Year, I can’t help but think about the symbolism in “January”—the month we look backward and forward at once.

January takes its name from the Roman God Janus. Janus was known as “the custodian of the universe”. In mythology, he was the god of beginnings who represented the transition between primitive life and civilization. In many domestic undertakings, his help was sought. This makes perfect sense when you look at the Janus icon (and our logo!). It has two faces, one looking back and one forward.
