The moment I started to read your post I got all excited...somebody else actually has read "Living a Beautiful Life" by Alexandria Stoddard???!!!

I read her book on homemaking many years ago, rereading it after I had a home of my own, and she provided inspiration like no other author has for me in the homemaking department.

One of the best home decorating steps one can take, I believe, is to display as many items as makes sense on open shelves, so that there is incentive to arrange them pleasingly rather than chuck them Misehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01784548726623938608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1575259314240840915.post-41557829512244379772013-10-16T17:55:10.782-04:002013-10-16T17:55:10.782-04:00I love your home!
