Posted on 13. Aug, 2010 by admin.

Lions and tigers and bears, oh my! Throw in a few leaping leopards, pulsing pythons and zippy zebras, and you’ve got an animal menagerie that is creating a fashion jungle out there this fall.

The cats haven’t been howling as much as they have on this season’s runways, since legendary fashion editor extraordinaire Diana Vreeland pushed the animal prints of a young Yves Saint Laurent.

Posted on 06. Aug, 2010 by admin.

Q: The “living” room in our house is on the small — and bland — side, which is OK because we really live in the family room/kitchen area. I’m thinking about making it into a little quiet space for me, what my grandmother would call a “sitting room.” Tell me how to add some character to the space.

A: Your answer in three little words: color, color, color. Banish bland; work up a color scheme that is — depending on your personal taste — deep, rich and comforting or light, bright and energizing.
