Our summer was so mild this year… unlike the last two or three summers. I don’t think anyone is quite ready to for a Northwest winter yet. During this transition time there are so many fabulous organic colors outside. My office window looks upon a brilliant red Japanese maple, and so many other colors such as buttery yellow, kelly green, muted orange and a variety of others.
This is such a great time to consider bringing color into your home. If you’re hestitant, consider a soft palette of browns, greens or golds. The deep, rich colors are wonderful for some people but not all. The color in your room should enhance your space not be the focal point. This fall create a fresh new feel in your home by just adding a little color. Some color suggestions tomorrow!

I’m really curious to know who has actually held a garage sale and netted at least $10/hr for all their time and efforts. My experience in the past with garage sales has been bleek. After rummaging through the house for all the unwanted, unneeded or outdated items, pricing everything, advertising, setting all the items out in the driveway or yard, then spending a couple long days trying to convince someone that they really need your unwanted stuff, how do the profits look? Not to mention that sales usually take place on FRIDAY and Saturday, and you’ve more than likely decided to take a long weekend away from work!
What do you think…is it worth it? If you are downsizing or doing some late spring cleaning there are many other alternatives to garage sales and we’ll explore the various avenues this week.
Stay tuned. “:O) Ruth
