…a lil’ bit about ORANGE.
If you have a room with an east facing window, ORANGE and GOLD hues would be a stunning choice for that space. The colors of dawn; energize, invigorate and stimulate good health.
…a lil’ bit about GREEN.
Easiest on the eye and symbolic of nature, GREEN is calming, healing and relaxing. GREEN is most often used in spas and porches. It brings the outside in and encourages physical and mental balance.
…a lil’ bit about PINK.
…and then there is PINK. Probably the most underrated color because of its gender association but a great one at best. PINK lifts one’s spirit, flatters the skin tone and can spark romance. We all look a bit more attractive in a PINK surround! PINK has been used in opposing locker rooms many times as it has been known to drain the opposi

…a lil’ bit about “small homes”
…….a lil’ bit about living in a “small home”. O.k. So, before it was even considered eco-friendly to choose to live in a small home, my husband and I were completely on board. We love to eat out, experience the local art scene and travel-that is before Covid-19 reared its ugly head. So naturally we have a big budget for those items
…….a lil’ bit about “Sprucing Up For Spring!”
I love Spring! I am really enjoying Spring in Minnesota this year because we are actually experiencing it! For the first time in many, many years which is a true blessing. As we are “Sheltering in Place” we need all of the encouragement from nature that we can get! So, now that you have a lil’ bit of extra time, why not
