Earth Tones Anyone?
I love the earth tones in this bedroom and how the design relies on form, shape and texture. Photo Credit: Gridley + Graves Source: House Beautiful

The earth tones are so lovely, I wish my house wasn't done in the jewel tones now. I was at a class the other day when this elderly lady complained about the awful colors that the assisted living facilities were decorated in. They were all done in the earth tones! ha!
Living in a complicated and fast paced world, many of us are yearning for simplicity. That doesn't mean sacrificing value - quite the contrary. When we strip away the clutter in our lives, we are left with that which matters most. At the end of the day, when we close our door on the cacophony of the outside world, we are looking for peace, family and friends, a refuge that brings order to chaos, refreshes the spirit and fills the well. This place is dedicated to that end. I hope those who visit this place will glean small ideas from its daily offerings of healthy recipes, beautifully decorated rooms, useful tips, and informative links. My most fervent wish is that you leave with something of value, something that reminds you to savor the simplicity that can reside in the smallest details. Thank you for dropping by. Please, come again.
