Nice photographs and such but I have a real question ~ it's not a gripe! <br /><br />How do you dress up a home when you're on a tight budget, you have old stained carpets (some of which are hideous colors!) old stained lanolium (with shaded corners so it always looks DIRTY! Who designed that??) and stained white kitchen counters, old stained everything pretty much... including Michelle Theresehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16185810008704682978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-17674361297552936492009-11-09T18:33:06.132-08:002009-11-09T18:33:06.132-08:00I have been doing a clothing series for dressing a...I have been doing a clothing series for dressing at home, but will be going on to some other project after the New year.

Also WAF articles. I always strived to look feminine but realized I still needed to refine and tweek my wardrobe and demeaner more. Now I feel more 'at home' with my self. I try to think twice when choosing patterns and materials.
