keeping summer with you all year long…
I know summer is over and the leaves are turning but I’m just not ready for a fall mantle yet. Let’s talk about the beach… A client of mine is redoing her family room and wants a beachy feel. Nothing over the top, no sand and seashells with oars and buoys. She would like subtle…
