| Place mats & Flowers aren't just for special occasions. | A simple arrangement makes the whole table look special | No eyesores on top of upper cabinets. Note how decorative items follow the rules of scale and spacing. |
| Your Daily Paperwork | ||

 |
 |
| The leather/suede organizers blend into traditionally decorated surroundings. | Mesh organizers hold writing tools, folders and quick notes – perfect for a tailored décor. | Warm woods can offset the coldness of countertops, and compliment almost any décor scheme. |

| Punch with pillows, note the repetition of pattern in the fabrics. Looks smashing. | Purchase a few nice hangars at a time and it won't break the budget. | |

 |
 |
|
| A maximum of two colors for towels makes the room calm and inviting. | Large Prints make walls come alive. "Anchoring" prints to the towel rack makes a single attractive unit. | |

| Store items in shoe boxes covered with decorative wrapping paper. A little glue and tape does the trick. | ||

|
| Make and old lamp new, a glue gun is all you need to attach fringe. | A warm throw and hot tea, pamper your guests in every way. | |
| Dining Room | ||
 |
 |
 |
A small tray, water, stones, candles and flowers from the garden are all that is needed for the perfect centerpiece. |
Water reflects candlelight, stones incorporate elements of nature . . . let your imagination go and experiment with various accents. | Fall colors, but similar elements used in the summer theme, lend a new ambiance to your table centerpiece. You need not be a decorator to set a graceful table. |
