		<description><![CDATA[So, mom&#8217;s actual tree&#8230;not the glitterfied sparkle-mania, but an actual tree&#8230;had a woodsy theme this year. Almost soley made up of pinecones and acorns, this tree really is fun. She sprayed the edges of real Tahoe Forest pinecones with white paint to give them a dusting of snow- seems we aren&#8217;t getting the real thing [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=courtneysthommen.wordpress.com&blog=5699266&post=85&subd=courtneysthommen&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Mom part 3- entertainment center</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Opposite of my parent&#8217;s beautiful fireplace, on the other end of the living room is this very cool, custom entertainment center. (Dad was watching t.v. when I was taking pictures. Those are his legs dangling off the sofa!)
On the left side of this entertainment center, mom filled a cool three tiered wire basket with old fashioned ornaments. [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=courtneysthommen.wordpress.com&blog=5699266&post=69&subd=courtneysthommen&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Mom part 2- fireplace</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mom&#8217;s beautiful fireplace mantle has a great wreath she made with natural elements- sticks, moss, nest, etc. She could sell these, don’t you think? She pulled the entry&#8217;s glittery silver theme into the living room.  She was contemplating adding more- more greenery, etc. I said to leave it. Who knows, it&#8217;s probably changed by now!

A teacher by trade, a decorator and maker of all things creative and beautiful by natural talent. She is good.

		<title>contest entries- ariana!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ariana came up with lots of ideas for my guestroom makeover. All are very creative and worthy of some bloggage. Thank you, A!
First, the old door headbord. Here is a picture a la Martha Stewart. Ariana suggested distressing the door and possibly adding some twig letters from Viva Terra. Very sweet.

Her second idea was to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=courtneysthommen.wordpress.com&blog=5699266&post=45&subd=courtneysthommen&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Guest Bath Makeover</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We painted one of our two bathrooms a couple weeks back. I knew exactly the direction I wanted to go with the room. The vanity, tile and toilet are all white. I thought it would be cool to use a grayish green color on all walls to really contrast with the white. My dearest friend, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=courtneysthommen.wordpress.com&blog=5699266&post=31&subd=courtneysthommen&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Puppy dog eyes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dakota went to the doctor&#8217;s office today for a quick visit to see if the vomiting and lethargy is something more than what we were hoping…He was a very good boy. Before taking him in, I gave him a quick “grooming” if you will…brush, brush, brush and spritz, spritz, spritz. Now my car smells like lavender [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=courtneysthommen.wordpress.com&blog=5699266&post=21&subd=courtneysthommen&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
