This beautiful fabric with embroidered detailing would be perfect for upholstered walls in a quiet yoga space or meditation room. The carpet completes the look. You don’t have enough room for a dedicated space? Your office or bedroom may have a corner for your peaceful endeavors while adding the calming feeling for work and/or sleep. Namaste!

Simply celebrate the 4th! It’s a wine glass half-full day to recognize ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to be upbeat about! Construction has been open in AZ throughout the pandemic. With social distancing, scheduling appointments for entry and masks, projects are progressing – not as usual but in whatever manner everyone is comfortable with. We do have so many options for connecting without meeting face-to-face. Gather up your decorations, put together some simple finger foods and enjoy a neighbor, friend, relative or your pet for a day to take note of what independence is all about!

Tinkerbell was so excited to see the Neiman Marcus Christmas Catalog! The $7000 hot dog sofa featured was too big for the dollhouse but she used her creative skills to secure the perfect one! #miniatures #dollhouse #hotdogsofa

We recently detailed a bathroom with a tub replacement. Betty Hahn, artist, hand cut stencils from the beautiful tile pattern on the front of the tub and painted them on the walls. Dawn Bowman, another artist, warmed up the room with horizontal brush strokes. Designers find the interesting options and establish where they will be used for interest. Additional accessories -colorful towels, warmer wood tones in the trays and candle holder, dried branches – complete the overall inviting spa space.

Today’s “in” look is a free standing tub but if one wants to age-in-place, a lower tub is a better option.  You can specify the tub you want. Most showrooms have tubs you can try for comfort.  The back slant and length are important.  If the tub is to have a deck so you can use it to sit, put your shoes on, lotion up or swing your legs into the tub, the distance from the tub rim to the edge detail can be close to 10”.  This is sufficient for sitting and easier cleaning than a deeper deck. A separate spray located on the outer side will allow for rinsing the tub. The height of the deck should be chair height – 17” so adjust the flooring under the tub for this height and tie in any windowsills with back-splash material. Specify a honed finish on the floor and a soft rug to step on with your wet feet!  The comforts of home!
