Interior Design Trends 2017
Interior design trends are taking a definite turn in 2017. Some tried-and-true elements that have anchored décor for nearly a decade are on their way out, making room for fresh, new interior expression.

Now that the holidays are almost behind us, it’s time to think about a nice, long rest. To inspire you, here are some of our favorite bedrooms:
Margaret’s Favorite Kitchens
This time of year most of us are spending a lot more time in our kitchens. Gone are the days of tomato sandwiches and cold shrimp lunches – Fall and Winter have us back in the kitchen making more elaborate meals and traditional favorites to accommodate a steady stream of parties and house guests.
