Antique French Mirror

I have to stop browsing marketplaces. It almost always leads to me saving things and showing my husband something else that we should go pick up. Which, I am okay with. I honestly save a lot more things than I ever asked about or decided to pursue. So, kind of like window shopping right? Just getting ideas and inspiration for decor changes, etc. Unless I find something like this mirror.

Pamela Anderson Responds After Tim Allen Denies Claim He Flashed Her 32 Years Ago

Pamela Anderson understands why her former co-star Tim Allen would deny her claim that he flashed her on the set of “Home Improvement” 32 years ago.

The “Baywatch” star made the eyebrow-raising allegation in her new memoir, “Love, Pamela,” as noted in an excerpt of the book published by Variety last month. Days ahead of the memoir’s release, Allen denied the accusation, telling E! News, “No, it never happened. I would never do such a thing.”

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight Canada this week, however, Anderson stood firm on her initial claim while addressing Allen’s denial.

Spring Table Centerpiece with garden statue

A cozy spring table centerpiece idea using a garden statue and a beautiful wreath.

Spring Table Centerpiece Idea

You know, sometimes I know where I am going with a styling and other times- I wing it. I start gathering the things I know would like to use and then spend a little time thinking and staring before moving in a direction. A spring table was always the topic- but this was one of those times where the styling evolved.

I knew I wanted to use this wreath for a centerpiece – but did not add the statue until I was

Dutch Doors

Dutch doors have long been something I have loved-

I think the love affair with them probably started with an illustrated storybook that was a favorite to look through when I was little.

I frowned a bit and said ‘No it’s definitely not only shades of white… I have color in the house…like…

And then there is the bathroom– I mean- red toile wallpaper… come on. That is definitely
