Everybody loves a good “Before & After,” so here is mine from the Junior League of Hartford Show House 2012.

Focus on Bathrooms

I’ve written in the past about how to update a bathroom without completely renovating the entire space.  Little changes can make a big difference, of course, but when it’s time for a major overhaul, half the fun is planning your new bathroom!

Outdoor Spaces

Even after a mild, almost non-existent winter, I can’t help but feel anxious for the arrival of spring.  If these early warm days are any indication, it seems we may all get to enjoy our patios and decks sooner than usual!  Now is the time to start thinking about dressing up those outdoor spaces.  Don’t [...]

As many of you know, my house in Connecticut is up for sale.  I have been addicted to reading real estate listings for years – actually, since I bought this house in 1994! The listings take on a whole new meaning when you start physically visiting the properties, unfortunately. Here are some real estate terms [...]
