*** "I'M ALL ABOUT THE BASE (board)..." ***

I was pondering a single design upgrade you could do to a room that would instantly bring polish.

I've decided that one thing is... Changing out your BASEBOARDS to lovely 4 1/2" - 5 1/2" high .

This small but significant change will immediately increase the style factor in any room.

There are so many tricks you can use (or have your designer and contractor use) to create a taller, more architectural look. 

Or if your house is more on the modern or contemporary side, even flat molding in wider slat will "finish" off the look of the room adding instant aesthetic appeal.

One of our favorite looks incorporates marries art and engineering...

*** BLACK IS BACK! ***

Hi all, its Shelly.

I've always been a proponent of using at least one element of black in a room; it has a polished look and has an anchoring effect to the space.

But as of late, black has been emerging as a strong color, if you will, and and I'm a huge fan.
If you pop your head in for a glance in any home interior store these days, you'll quickly get an idea of the emerging popularity of decor items with black finishes.  

A stylish black framed mirror, aa cocktail table, or collection of black candle stick holders or ANYTHING black leather, will give a dash of elegance to even a casual room.


I just purchased two large, black picture frames that also have black mat boards. I selected two photos to keep with the sea them, and Ill be enlarging them I'll hang them closely together and. "Voila"...they'll act as a "collection" that will have big impact!

No matter what your home's style, black can fit with your scheme. Try a number of things until it feels just right!
