    Proof that good design can make any space a delight! Nice job!!! I wonder where those cool pink-shaded lamps came from on top of the bookcases?

    She has done a fantastic job of making her home look like anything but military housing. That’s a happy place to home to.

    It’s a very colourful home. As an artist, she would find it hard to live with all the beige of a PMQ.
    I especially love the bright carpets. Such a happy place!

    Love the way you matched the wall colours with the decor items so perfectly flawless. It fits the wall colour. I love the interiors. Looking forward to more from you. Keep doing well as always;)

Join me as I decorate my 100 year old home, scour thrift stores, create pretty things, putter in my peony and hydrangea filled garden, and mix up a mean cocktail all with a touch of sarcasm and a side of bacon - Cheers!
