DECORATING

I love decorating our home.
Over the years I have learned to add pieces to our house that bring us joy and meaning. Mixing new pieces of furniture and accessories with old/antique pieces gives a house a collected look.

No trends in our home I stay true to my style which is French Country with a bit of farmhouse.
