Supersize me. Go big or go home. Simplify. Simplify. Simplify. Less is more. Which philosophy best defines you? I confess I can go both ways. The idea of shedding all of the stuff that weighs us down is very appealing. But then again, our prized possessions can define our lives and tell our story. So, […]

One, Two, Three…three houses later and the furniture still works. It began in a client’s first home. The living room needed updating with a completely new color scheme.
