"Good taste can be developed in anyone, just as surely as good manners are possible to anyone. And good taste is as necessary as good manners," declared Elsie de Wolfe, the "first lady" of American interior design. Although de Wolfe decorated the homes of wealthy, socially prominent clients, she always maintained that her vision of elegant but comfortable living is attainable to all. This timeless 1915 book, written in a friendly, conversational tone, explains how to design, furnish, and decorate a house in order to make it a beautiful, useful, and livable home.

De Wolfe pioneered the concept of the home as a representation of the owner's identity, and this book defines her decorating methods, philosophy, and approach to creating spaces for gracious entertaining. Part step-by-step manual and part aesthetic treatise, this volume advocates for simpler yet more refined decor. In contrast to the Victorian penchant for dark furniture, bric-a-brac, and heavy draperies, de Wolfe advised her readers to let in natural light, to replace gaudy colors with beige and ivory, and to abandon clutter. Her practical suggestions, illustrated by period photographs, illuminate the attitudes of a century ago while retaining their resonance for modern-day interior designers.

Great base to add patches to
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
I've bought this jacket twice now (lost the first one...). Great base for my DIY patch jackets. I buy an XL even though it's a size too large for me. It's a standard denim jacket, not much to write home about. Good pocket size, and I appreciate the functional chest pockets.

Great PJs, but shorts are very short
Size: 3T, Color: Under the Sea
These PJs were super cute. I read reviews about the quality of the fabric not being great however I thought they were very soft, stretchy, comfortable and the color has stayed well through washes. They are lightweight and great for summer. MY ONLY CON: the shorts are very short and ride up even more so they end up looking almost like underwear. I wished the shorts were longer.
