Hello 2019… I just returned from Colorado one of my favorite places to visit! I had a great time and always love seeing my friends! One of my favorite places when I visit is main street in Parker, Colorado. It’s like a Christmas movie! Luckily, I held off a cold I picked up until I […]
I love animals and I love rustic decor. So, I keep it faux with my home decor. I love fur, I work with it in a lot of my designs and I have it all over my own home… but it’s exactly that…faux. Faux fur is that perfect texture that compliments anything in a room, […]
I happen to have a thing for huge windows and a view…..that is everything to me…..add some cute accessories and a little faux fur and it makes the perfect cozy spot! A cozy spot is a personal thing. It makes you feel happy, warm and secure. It motivates you, gives you hope and allows you […]

So I just saw these chairs in a HGTV photo and I am obsessed! I love a metal chair paired with a big wood farmhouse dining table. Mixing up textures is what creates interest and turns your space into a wow. If you want to really mix it up and put yet another spin on this […]
Who doesn’t love a good chippy, distressed sign? Of course I love to rescue anything that is distressed and add a little new life to it! This week was busy with custom sign orders at The Striped Barn. I love doing signs because there is no end to the words, themes, colors you can create. […]
