Inspiration Trip: San Miguel de Allende Scenery
This spring Margaret took a trip to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. San Miguel is an art and design lover’s paradise, and it was so inspiring she wanted to share some of her photos with you:
Margaret’s Favorite Kitchens
This time of year most of us are spending a lot more time in our kitchens.
