Th...Your Family Room looks more fabulous than ever! Tha mirror is SO SPECTACULAR! Isn't it funny how we hated brass/gold just a couple of years ago... and now it's made a HUGE comeback! <br /><br />About your orchid: I have killed more orchids than I care to recall. Finally I decided to get serious about them and have been reading and doing lots of research on them.<br /><br />1. Don't move it around. If it's doing well there - leave it there! <br /><br />2. Water it a lot less than you think you should. <br /><br />3. Fertilize it only with orchid fertilizer every 5 to 6 weeks.<br /><br />I've been following this advice and my orchids are doing a lot better!Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00013575045318957453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-72161519886733942222013-02-08T00:45:14.657-05:002013-02-08T00:45:14.657-05:00Love it all!!

I just painted above my mantle white and I'm adding moldings on either side to finish it so it appears the molding goes from the mantle up to the crown molding. Made the room so much brighter.

I adore the one I have left but yours is so grand.<br /><br />I may have to try your picture frame trick. I got lucky at the salvation army store & found two 8x10 frames (for some autographed photos) & a beautiful wood trimmed collage frame. But the wood 8x10 frames look so cheap next to it. Tho I do still have metallic silver paint left from the cheap wood frame i painted. (it looks awesome against the dark blues/blacks/greys/purples of the painting inside).

In my opinion, tiles add style to a home, brings the impact you want even if they’re around a fireplace, a kitchen backsplash or a tabletop. Whenever my clients ask me about DIY home projects and crafts, I suggest to be creative and innovative because they can do more with less. Your blog is a great way to get inspired.

All that going lighter at the fireplace seems to have spread to the ceiling. :) Redo's have a way of causing that. Ahhh!
