The sheets are Ralph Lauren - I got mine about 6 years ago.

I love those metal sconces in the bathroom, and was thinking about doing something similar in mine, but I'm worried that the light won't be good enough to do my makeup, put in my contacts, etc. In...

I'm thinking something in a dark charcoal gray.

We painted the cabinets white in our last house after the previous owner had painted them black(!), and although I loved how it turned out, chipping was an issue over the long term. Just something...

The French Oven. I'd make corn chowder - yum!

Beef Stew. The perfect comfort food.
