Decor To Adore

...and other bits of bliss

Sing with me now. Memories…”Maybe beautiful and yet…”

Memories

One of the things on my “Christmas break/ fun things to do” list has been visiting a few of my favorite blogs and going way back to their humble beginnings and reading all of the past posts that I missed. (Yes, I do have a bit of time on my hands.)
When I saw that Cindy from My Romantic Home was hosting “A Year in Review 2008” I thought it might be fun to give you a glimpse of what went on in my blog over the course of the past 7 months.

I like to dress up. Carrie Bradshaw Gets a New Apartment and Laura attends a premiere.

 I sometimes show interior design projects that I have completed. But not too often.

More often I will show projects that you can do yourself.

 I like to travel and often share what I see here on the ole blog like this lovely blue ceiling found in Key West.

I meant to say that I also do quite a bit of research (Days! Weeks!) and provide historical posts on different styles of architecture. This was a piece of the Arts and Crafts movement.

  So come on along, (we’ll be singing a song…)
2009 will be mighty fine!
