As part of my first townhouse remodel, I had granite countertops and stainless steel appliances installed in the kitchen. This remodel was my first major change in our townhouse. I knew that I was going to go on to repaint the upper level and to change out the carpets in all the rooms but I
What is a garden square?

I was reading blogs on my iPad this morning and noticed a call out on new colors for Fall, black and brown, tans and grays. I found the combination attractive; especially the tan and gray combination. Before bed last night, I was reading a historical fiction mystery: a very light series set in late 1800
