Whenever something happens in the world that affects us, the one place we can truly feel relaxed and comfortable is in our homes. As 1930's former film star and interior decorator William Haines said, "The only real freedom we have is our home. Only there can we express anything we want."
This year I plan on writing a series that will assist you in making your home the welcoming sanctuary you can retreat to at the end of the day. The basic foundation of the series is the message that "It's Time To Come Home". You will be able to adapt the information in the articles to your "home", whether you are currently renting an apartment, own a home or are planning on putting your home on the market in the next year or two. The articles will be broken down into specific titles, such as "Color", "Window Treatments", "Flooring", and many others.
The first in the series will start with that part of your home that physically and mentally shields you from the outside world - the walls of your home. This will address the myriad of ways you can dress up your interior walls, whether it be paint, wallpaper, or faux techniques.
I hope you will join me in this journey. I welcome comments, e-mails or questions about the articles or even your own home décor dilemmas.

Kathy: This sounds like a fabulous series! Can't wait to read more. :)
I like the whole idea. It is thoughtful and will be useful as many people are staying put at the moment, rather than trying to move. Helps me to consider how I want to proceed with my own blog on my personal website. Thanks for sharing. I have been getting a lot out of your posts.
Kathy, you know I'm a big fan of your blog. I'm really looking forward to reading your new series. I'm sure it will be fantastic!
Kathy, It sounds like a wonderful journey and I'm certainly in. We have long believed our homes to be our sanctuaries and area a reflection of ourselves. Looking forward to reading more.
Teresa ~ Thank you! I'm very excited about doing it. I hope to have the first one up within a couple of days.
Pangaea ~ Thank you for your kind words! I truly believe people will be staying at home quite a bit (I'm sure they have been already). It's a good time to review our marketing and see if we can or are targeting this trend.
Charlene ~ Oh you! : ) Thank you! I hope I don't disappoint.
Kathy, I will be keeping a close eye out for this series.
I am so ready for the journey...thanks for taking me along Kathy!!!
Carole ~ Thanks! Hopefully, I'll be able to inspire people with some ideas.
Danny ~ Thank you! You and Charlene are two of my biggest supporters, and I appreciate that!

Hi Cynthia ~ Thank you! : )
Aloha Kimo ~ It's been interesting to put together without making it too long, but enough to give some information. I'll probably be posting it today. Thank you!
Hi Kathy...I began at the end and now I'm here at the beginning of the journey. Looking forward to each and every stop along the way home.
Kate
