Eleven Rooms In Two Days. "This Old House."

Twenty years ago when I was doing "This Old House" we had to stick to a rigid television schedule and we put together 11 rooms (FURNITURE, DRAPERY, BEDDING, DECORATIVE ACCESSORIES ETC.) in record time...two days. It was a great project and I remember the secret: detailed pre-planning and a marvelous staff. What a great project.

Joe Ruggiero "Made in America" hand crafted wood furniture.

This Morning In My Garden

A cool sunny morning here in southern California. The cyclamen are blooming away. They love these cool mornings and so nice to see this beautiful color in the green garden. The fountain is reflecting the morning sun.

Had to share the story in the March issue of House Beautiful. This is the charming home of designer Myra Hoefer. Her transformation of a modest property is quite spectacular and inspirational.

A worthy cause that helps women find jobs by giving them the proper clothes. This event at LaMaison, Kierland, Arizona (Scottsdale) benefited those who can be helped.

Children'Art. The Most Expressive Gift.

My grand daughter presented this piece of art to me as a gift. She is intrigued by mermaids and I love the way she has captured the wet hair and expression. She is just 5 years old. I was delighted with this creative expression.

Bill Heacox of Inside/Out Scottsdale, Arizona showroom.

Bill Heacox at Inside/Out showroom designed this marvelous hanging for his showroom. He used snow camouflage which he then painted and I believe this is one of the most delightful pieces I have seen in a showroom. Bravo Bill!!

Sunbrella Hand Bag Fashion Show. Scottsdale

What a great "turn-out" to support Fresh Start and benefit this organization with a JR/Sunbrella hand bag fashion show. The bags were raffled to support the charity and we had a wonderful time with the models who donated their time and Sunbrella who donated the "one of a kind" bags. Thanks to the staff of LaMaison for making this happen.
