bugboobunz I laughed when I saw the kitties, and thought to myself... yes, the way to make your home more special IS to add some furry decorations here and there! I have a special house because I have two roving items of sleek black and white decor : )

UPSTAGING YOUR HOMES I added the luxuries of chandelier in Mbr; taking door off the shower so I can enjoy the fresh air & sunshine; adding garden doors off breakfast room so we can enjoy the sun in back yard; new kitchen design with farmhouse sink, terracotta floors so I can relax when I hear my furballs hacking up hair balls or grass from back yard!
