Custom Design Service

I had the sweetest lady contact me last night about possibly starting an online decorating service for teachers.  Her name is Mary and she teaches in Texas.  Mary suggested that I use her as my guinea pig and we could post the before and after photos on my blog.  I have to admit, I was a little reluctant since I have a pretty full plate at the … [Continue reading...]

I have been known to be pretty picky and indecisive, especially when it comes to decorating my own house.  My classroom isn't any different.  I need to LOVE my surroundings and I don't want to be unhappy with a color combination that will make me crazy all year long.  So, I made the hour long trip to Lakeshore today to finalize my classroom … [Continue reading...]
