A long overdue project at our house was re-decorating the office. Ten years ago, when we built on an addition, I thought it would be fun to decorate the office in Fighting Illini. We had Albrecht Painting paint the walls an enthusiastic bright orange, blue and white. Decorating it was pretty easy... I just hung some framed Fighting Illini posters and we looked like die hard fans. We do support our Fighting Illini, but neither Glenn nor I are alumni and we aren't regular game attenders. I ...

Flip Flop – A Simple Re-Arrange

Sophisticated Elegance
When it comes to decorating our homes, we all have different tastes. We can put words to that individual preference like coastal, modern, country, shabby chic, and so on. But there are no limits!
