Your home shows that you can have the best of both worlds. I think the one thing that I could never part with, is hardwoods. So nice with 3 kids and a dog. They look nice and they are easier to maintain than carpet. Now if I could only find a way to throw the couch in the wash :) Hope you have a wonderful coming week! xxxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914944137112141462.post-42482523230668854252011-09-04T19:32:06.107+01:002011-09-04T19:32:06.107+01:00I love a home that looks nice and clean, but also ...I love a home that looks nice and clean, but also lived in. When I go shopping to buy something new, I think first do I really need it, and if it is something that I won't grow tired of. I try and change things like throw pillows, and wall decor for every season to give a room a new look.Paula Jo @ Home and Garden Decorhttp://cleanstar-homeandgardenworld.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914944137112141462.post-86437695751826291212011-09-04T13:22:58.018+01:002011-09-04T13:22:58.018+01:00With you!
