Designing A Royal Nursery
I've enjoyed seeing some of the ideas flying around for the new 'Royal Nursery' decor. England's Duchess of Cambridge Catherine Middleton, or Princess Kate as everyone seems to call her, is due to give birth any day now, and the infant prince or princess will no doubt be taken home to a splendid royal nursery.

Things We Love Right Now – July 2013
We hope that when our customers buy fine antique furniture, vintage home decor accents, and high-quality reproductions from EuroLuxHome.com, those treasures will become family heirlooms!

I enjoyed this Houzz.com article on 9 Ways to Create Comforting Farmhouse Style Anywhere. You don't...

Best of June 2013: Summer Celebrations
This beautiful month of June has been all about enjoying celebrations! Father's Day was a highlight, and as we're a family business we were inspired to go on a family photograph treasure hunt for our post dedicated to dads.
