Beautiful Living Rooms
While I was thinking about where everyone would sit in my living room for the Super Bowl, I was inspired to see where others gather, hang out, and enjoy each other's company. These living rooms are certainly inspiring with wonderful decorating ideas.

Beautiful Home Living: Using Lemons for Decoration
When using arrangements to add a pop of color to your room, think fruit in addition to flowers. A vase of bright yellow lemons or limes will add zest and energy to your space! See Color Inspiration: Citrus for more ideas if you missed it!

13 Months
Have you
had good, fair, to a not so good experience with a builder or contractor?
Or even a furniture manufacturer?
I was doing a clients home here in Florida
across the street from the ocean in Delray Beach.
It was taking forever to finish this home.
We had to get the herring bone walnut floors done right,
the insets in the marble done.
And done right.
Expecting work 'done right' in South Florida is somewhat of an oxymoron.
Sorry Florida.
Only if you are using 'HIGH END' manufacturers, contractors, workrooms, and builders
can you expect good to perfect work.
And I need 'perfect' work'
Just remember there is no such thing as 'a deal,'
or an unbelievably great price on something that requires any sort of skill.
Back to the builder....
beside the fact that he was a smug spoiled brat who was in his family's business...
the building of this house went on for 2 years.
It may have been 10,000 sq. ft.
but C'mon!!!!
{he had the same size crew working on the Delray house}
He kept telling me fibs daily about this and that.
He said; " It takes a long time to do a home like this and of this size."
So...
I said;
" Okay...You are a builder, and your family has been in the business
here in Florida over 25 years. Right?"
"That's right!!!"
said the smug little 40 something brat.
I said;
"I am sure that you know it only took 13 months to build the Empire State building. Right?"
You might ask me; "SO, what did he say then?"
He said nothing. Like most men when they are in the wrong.
DID YOU KNOW
that the Empire State build was built in about 13 months?
