Folks, I’ve been waylaid by life, work and all that jazz. It all started with Spring vacation and took a steady and quick downward spin, dwindling off into dribs and drabs as of late. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been busy… I have! For instance, I’ve been redecorating my sister Sue’s small Florida apartment. She’s [...]
A while back I wrote a post about Spoonflower, the website where you can upload your own images to create custom fabric, well, they’ve now added wallpaper to their repetoire. I think this company might be single handedly changing the interior design possibilities for people without [...]
