I have an obsession with marble and brick. I've pretty much clad as many surfaces with marble in my home that I can think of and now I'm moving on to brick.
Brick can be tricky though.
You have to be careful where you put it or it can look out of place.
Brick is typically used on fireplaces or outter walls...or older buildings or lofts but that doesn't apply here.
I would put brick on every wall of my home but that would be overkill. Plus I live in a 1970's rambler and they didn't typically

The wall that had 9 lives.
Interior design is very much like fashion. It changes over time.
Which is why I change the rooms in my home.

This wall is the wall that had 9 lives.
First, it was...a disaster.

2015…A year in Review.
In 2007 my husband started this blog as a way to keep our families up to date on our lives. At that time I had no idea what a blog was.

I'm in love with this navy-ish blue wall called Blue Fedora by Valspar from ACE. I've never really used Valspar before but it went on beautifully and there was very little odor. It my just be one of my favorite new paints.

Gentleman’s Tea Party.
Last weekend our patio looked like this.
Seems to have become the dumping ground for left over building materials from our home remodel.
It all had to go because this patio was the venue site for a very important soiree.
We received a set of some groovy teal dishes from Target with an invitation to participate in Target's "Big Honkin' Summer Competition." The run down goes like this..."use your creativity to show readers how they can create the perfect summer day by styling and
