Feng Shui Art

We’re getting ready at my mom’s house to start decorating for Spring. A little late, I know, but that’s us. She just bought a beautiful new ivory bedding set from HSN. While it looks stunning with her black furniture, the room was just a little ‘blah’. We’ve talked about painting the walls – finally! I’ve […]
