Today is so historic!

I had a completely different post ready to place on our blog today but decided to change the subject in view of the historical event due to take place today in America!

The inauguration of the new President of America, Barack Obama. I can't remember the last time there was so much interest, worldwide. Here in the UK we have been avidly watching and following the events leading up to this auspicious day.

In recognition of the importance of this day I know you will forgive me for jumping on the bandwagon by posting pictures from our members to celebrate!

What's White?

The holidays are just around the corner, and it seems there's always someone on your shopping list who is hard to shop for. I am always wacking my brain trying to figure out what to get them. Something they will really like and don't already have. Something unique, something you yourself wouldn't mind having. Look no further! You can find any kind of gift to go with any kind of decor on etsy. I did a search for interiordesignteam white, and here are just a few irresistable items I found.
