I saw this great decorating book at a little book store

on one of our pre-holiday shopping trips. I loved it, and thought

I would try to find a few images from the book to show you.

I love the title; "Casual Living no-fuss style for a comfortable home"

which is about what casual style means and how to get the look right.

I don't know about you, but at this time of year I always feel ready to freshen things up a little. As I was throwing that tree out the door

yesterday, I was dreaming of organizing...

maybe moving some furniture around.

Pillows...paint...hmmmmm.

The book talks about paring down your belongings...I need to work on that.

Make it personal...who doesn't love a house with personality and personal touches everywhere.

But most of all...don't try too hard.
