Texture, Texture, Texture

Orchid Arrangement
Hi Guys,

Several years ago when we decided to adopt our sweet little Papillons, I wasn't aware that they would shed so much. Little by little we replaced our fabric furniture with all leather. We also got rid of all our throw and room sized rugs.

Although easy to keep clean, our living space looked very cold and bare. What I needed was some texture to bring our spaces to life. I chose inexpensive throws and textural pillows to spread around the space. The dogs love them, I love them, the room looks warmer, and, best of all, everything can go into the washing machine and dryer. I have the best of both worlds.

Flowers also add texture to a room, so don't forget to put a bouquet or plant in every room.

So if your rooms seem a little cold and bare, add some texture.

That's my tip for today.
