Your Home and Office ReDone
Hey fans! Have you ever had that moment of clarity where you knew what you were saying was the absolute truth, the end all and be all of whatever it was you were talking about? Well, I knew it back in November when I was writing my MWMB about yellow – specifically, “ceylon” yellow – [...]
Last week we started a three part blog on Feng Shui decorating. A lot was shared, and a whole new world of design concepts was introduced to the causal ReDo Reader. What I loved most about this subject matter was the plethora of information available on this topic, much of it online, and all readily [...]
Holy smokes, folks! Can you believe this crazy weather? I think March has truly flipped its switch and is coming in like a LION! Forget that lamb nonsense – it’s just nuts out there! Sun one day, rain the next, high winds and tornados followed by snow followed by summer temperatures. Is it the end [...]

You add it up, it’s 20 DAYS A YEAR spent in the kitchen on this task oriented chore! That’s a significant amount of time, especially if you’re parents with kids, working [...]
Howdy, ReDo Readers! Sorry to have missed out on this last week’s MWMB (Mid-Week Mini-Blog) but, after having returned from a wonderful tropical respite, I picked up some bug along the way in transit home and was out of commission for a few days. UGH! Not fun! But, luckily, I burned it out quickly enough [...]
Hello Readers! I’m back from a glorious and much needed vacation in Hawaii, rested and ready to embrace a more relaxed, new approach to my weekly lead blog. My wonderful marketing and PR folks have shared with me a few things that will help me write a better, more concise and engaging entry every week [...]
Oh happy day, readers! Guess who’s back in the bedding business? DWR, Design Within Reach! Years ago, they carried high quality, well made sheet by such designer and manufactures as Dwell, so known that they’re carrying bedding once again is a pretty big HIGH FIVE for them. I love good bedding – some might say [...]
