How to Choose the Best Lighting

How to Choose the Best Lighting for your space is like picking out accessories for an outfit. It can be super fun with so many choices. When I renovated my own home I first went to places like Lowes and Home Depot because I didn't really know anything about lighting. As I walked down the aisles, I was like, mmm.. I don't like any of these lights. They all looked so plain and similar.  So, off I went to a specialty lighting store called Anzalone Lighting in Lockport, NY about 30 minutes from where I live. I entered the store [...]

How to Style Your Backyard

How to style your backyard is very similar to designing any room in your house yet it's kind of more fun I think anyway. Why? because all those luscious plants that you get to play with at the garden center to add color! Where do you start?  Answer: With a piece of inspiration, which is what I do with any room. It can be your patio set, a favorite outdoor fireplace, a picture that you want to hang outdoors, outdoor pillows that inspire you. There are so many ways to have fun here.

How to Style a Console Table

Knowing How to Style a Console Table can be a mystery. It's a blank slate and can be so fun! Console tables come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors. They can be placed in a foyer, hallway, behind a couch, in a nook in your study/office or even in your bedroom. I look at them as little vignettes, spaces all to themselves to play with. Remember, less is more. Put a picture or a mirror on the wall behind it.  Circular mirrors are great   if your table is long and rectangular. You can either place it to one [...]

Someone asked me today what are the paint colors for 2022? I much prefer to answer the question -what are my favorite paint colors for 2022?

Have you ever made Decorating and Design Mistakes? Yep, me too!

  I am in the midst of a redesign/remodel of one of my guest bedrooms. I rent two rooms in my house on Airbnb and I decided that the original trundle bed just wasn't doing it anymore. So, I sold it and bought a full size bed with this whole lighter/cleaner/softer look in mind.  I searched for a few days for the inspiration, looking at beds/mattresses and telling the mattress people - "I need the vision first" They thought I was crazy and just wanted to sell me a mattress - ugh.. Well, I met this woman at Metro Mattress [...]

Springtime Cleaning

Remember when your Grandmother and Mother used to talk about "spring cleaning?" And you thought to yourself, what are they talking about? Mom cleans all the time? What is so special about the spring time?I remember my Mom would take down the winter time "drapes" (who uses that word anymore?) , clean them and put them away to make way for the "sheers" for the spring and summer. As a kid , I didn't pay too  much attention back then but now as I am older and am a homeowner myself , I understand why these things were done at [...]
