  A Most Festive Hostess Gift

  I recently wrapped up this fun little gift, which I think it would be a lovely gift for any host/hostess during this busy holiday season.  Of course the easy holiday hostess gifts are a bottle of alcohol or a potted plant, but sometimes it's nice to get out of the expected, ordinary favor train.

  Brass and Glass, The Classic Coffee Table

  For a goes-with-everything coffee table, consider glass with brass.  A glass tabletop encased in a strong metal frame of brass is my favorite for living rooms.  It can go warm or cool, mod or trad.  And, glass allows for more visual circulation around the room, including a better sight line to stunning carpets or floors underneath.

  Convertible Furniture

  There's something oddly quaint about convertible furniture, to me.  Which is funny because convertible furniture is usually complexly designed and even complicated to use, and not at all quaint.

  Hanging Your Wall Art at the Right Height

  Combine fine heirlooms pieces with thrift finds and framed projects that your kids drew in school.  Mix pen & ink drawings with huge photographs.  Or oil paintings with vintage postcards.  The mis-matchyness of a diverse art wall is what makes the gallery-style installation work so well.

  Let There Be Light

  Table lamps are perfect.  Their light reflects at eye-level which makes our skin look more radiant, our wrinkles disappear, and our magazines so much easier to read!  They serves as task lighting and provide ambient light for overall visual clarity.  They can be minimal & simple or decorative showstoppers in your room.

  Fruit is Cute

  Planning out a summer party menu and thinking about fruit colors for interiors.  Rainbow hues can be easily overdone in an interior, but when the balance of bright color and neutrals is done right, it's awesome.

  Beam Me Up

  Exposed beams.  Whether they're painted, polished or whitewashed, these beauties add a very unique character to a room. If you're remodeling and uncover these structural powerhouses, show them off!
