Hockey Mom asked:


We are trying to decorate our great home like a hunting/ski lodge. We have a moose head on our fireplace and are now looking for wall art/prints of moose, elk, etc. I have found some web sites; but boy are they expensive!!! Also in need of a good ski/vintage/accessories web site as well.

I find great deals on excellent pieces of furniture, art, and home decor. Everyone who has seen it is impressed. I want to show my home to the public. How?

K.B. asked:


My friend and I are possibly going to set up a neighborhood holiday/crafts boutique on her street in November. She would invite other neighbors to participate. The “customers” will be just the people in her gated community.

I do jewerly and some other wearable art; she does baked goods, gourmet pretzels etc; and another friend of hers does bath soaps & bath salts etc.. We might do some home decor items.

What items would you buy that are handmade?
I understand how some people feel about buying food. But these will all be neighbors, many of whom have eaten at each others’ homes for parties so it will probably be OK.

CollegeMeg asked:


If you had the oppurtunity to tell someone how great you are what kind of things would you tell them?

I would say that I have shampoo commercial hair and that I am really good at designing things (whether it be art or home decor)

Bridget Greuel asked:


Are you having a difficult time trying to match the colors of the different pieces in your room’s color scheme? Do you want to know how good Interior Designers solve this tough problem? I’ll let you in on the secret…they blend the colors in the room instead of matching the colors. Don’t be afraid because you can do it too. In fact, I really recommend it because it will allow you the freedom of being able to easily incorporate more exciting pieces into the room’s color scheme and it will also make your life easier too since you won’t end up going crazy trying to make all of your room’s decor match perfectly!

How do you determine what items blend in your room and what items don’t? A real good rule of thumb is to stand back and look at all the pieces in question together and to go with your gut feeling or (if you don’t quite trust your eye for color) seek out a second opinion from a good friend or family member with a good eye for color. This method of blending not matching is especially helpful when you’re working with a pattern that may take on one general color when viewed from a distance. I also like to take a close look at each patterned piece to see which colors they’re comprised of to see if the piece is a fit. Be sure to have fun and remember; blend not match!

Very colorful site, green and bright yellows. Please if you can point me in the right direction, it would be very much appreciated!!
