This is definitely on my list of someday projects. Since my place is very open, there's a lot of ceiling and I'd have to do all of it. But it would give me the texture and warmth that I need. ...
Krylon makes a terrific mirror paint that is designed to be sprayed on the inside of clear glass--and it looks amazing. You'd never guess that it's spray paint! So you could take any inexpensive cl...
Any of these could look great--it's a matter of personal preference. But I'd go in another direction, accenting the green with sophisticated grays and white. The vanity could be a deep gray with th...
Wow--I guess I do this, I just never thought about it in these terms. My weakness--OK, one of my weaknesses--is art and handcrafted accessories--vessels and such. I can only display so many things ...

My condo has a great terrace, it's the best feature of my home. I confidently (right or wrong!) make decisions about my interior space, but I can't quite imagine the possibilities for the terrace. ...
