To love and be loved is the greatest joy on earth.
The last thing on my mind during the busy December when we opened Nell Hill’s Briarcliff was decorating my home for the holidays. I was working a zillion hours a week getting our new store ready and had no energy left to deck the halls at home.
You’d think the thin strips of wood above our fireplaces were gangplanks the way they make us quake at the knees when it’s time to dress them up for the holidays.
Every year at Thanksgiving, Dan and I face a dilemma: How should we use our dining-room table to best accommodate the friends and family who join us for this food fest?
Wallpaper was all the rage when I was growing up. So in a bold decorating move, my mom papered our kitchen ceiling, which my friends thought was totally cool.
