Headboards

Headboard Design Ideas

I came across a stash of magazines my mother had, dating from the mid to late ’90s. It goes to show that many headboard design ideas are timeless and crafted from different reclaimed materials. I loved this one crafted from tin ceiling tiles.

Key West

January 7, 2014 by carole Leave a Comment

The fam escaped for five days after Christmas.  Key West combined the best of everything for our diversity of interests. Chill out by the pool if you want (which I did with a great read “Oleander Girl” – highly recommend). Or jet-ski (which would have been an activity better...Read More

Want Ten Ways to
Refresh Your Home for Free (or Almost Free)
?

10 Ways to Refresh Your Home for Free (or Almost Free) Click Here
Carole Marcotte

My name is Carole and I am a caring, efficient and passionate interior decorator. I help clients create stylish, functional homes that respect their past while designing for their future. After extensive research, I work tirelessly to blend clients’ existing and new decor into the overall design scheme. I love what I do.

My ideal for the design world in general (I can dream big, can’t I?): People will stop buying crap, refurbish and highlight their existing treasures and, if they absolutely need more stuff, buy only resale items (vintage, antique, consignment or the like). And if it must be new stuff, it will provide significant function, environmental sustainability or support our artists and thereby feed our soul. I am on a mission…care to join me?

My blog is a little bit decorating tips, a little bit travel, and a whole lotta love and design musings. Xo
