This Ralph Lauren advertisement gives me the urge to start a habit of scotch and cigars! I love this look. I definitely lean towards a traditional European style in my own home decor. I suppose, growing up being surrounded by my parents’ treasures from their travels to Europe influenced my love for it. Their collection … Continue reading Scotch and Cigars

I don’t get too hung up on name-brand anything. It’s just not important to me. I like good design, period. My autumn tablescape is a combination of Hobby Lobby, Pier 1, J.C. Penny, Wal-Mart and Dollar General products. Everything was relatively inexpensive except the stemware, which was a gift from a good friend and the … Continue reading Autumn Tablescape
