Knack for Savvy: July 2013
http://designfromoneboxwoodlane.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 31, 2013. Hi from JM Tassi Design!

Imagine having a bite to eat on the yellow plates with the view from the dining area in the cottage. The white wood railing and trim. To the view from outsid...

Knack for Savvy: Creative Painting!
http://designfromoneboxwoodlane.blogspot.com/2013/05/creative-painting.html

Second, ceilings are forgotten as a fifth wall and are painted white. Third, the trim and baseboards are painted white or stained the same in every room. Familiar? Is this the process because we lack imagination or because we are fearful of experimenting? What do you notice first when you see this photo? The choices of this desig...

Thursday, February 2, 2012. Draperies complete the finished look of a room just as lipstick is the finishing touch to your makeup. Many, many clients are sure they just "love" leaving their windows bare to allow all the light and view from outdoors in. Imagine this beautiful model with no lipstick.
