In interior decorating, optimum enjoyment of the finished project is in the details.
After charting your decorating course for a room and executing on the plan, it’s still the fun little details that bring the sweetest satisfaction.
In Jo’s room, it was…
The last decorating pillow with gingham bows and a new plaid with complimentary shades of color – again created by our friend, Brenda, the seamstress extraordinaire.

The fabric stitched on the storage bin handles to match the curtain fabric…
