Remodeling Projects: The Last Stage in View
By Nancy Ranchel
My egg / yellow / closet room is finished — and there’s no better feeling than a project completed! (Maybe if a remodeling project wrapped up while I was sunbathing and Idris Elba was massaging my feet…) In this thing called real life, however, finishing a project is pretty much the pinnacle of accomplishments.
Decorate, Design with Salvaged Plastic
By Nancy Ranchel
Salvage in design is my thing, and industrial salvage is where my heart lives. But when it’s time to make a purchase for the house, I don’t discriminate against any type of salvage.
Old Shoes and Where to Take Them
By Nancy Ranchel
If you’re a shopper, you probably have a lot of shoes. If you’re female, you probably have a lot of shoes. If you’re into athletics (runner? soccer player?), you probably have a lot of shoes. Whether you buy high end or Payless brand, if you’re American you have a closetful of shoes. It’s a thing with us. Ain’t it great to be an American?

Splashes of Color
What do you notice when you meet someone for the first time? Some pay attention to a person’s sense of style — things like clothes, shoes or hair. Others notice physical attributes like a dazzling smile or shimmering eyes. And some even recognize personality traits like kindness or confidence. But interior designer Angela Todd is a little different — she envisions a person’s color palette.
The Psychology of Color & Light
Light and color require balance. Without light there would be no color. Without color our homes would be unbearably bland. It is only because of light encountering an object that we are able to see it. And when we do see that wall or chair or art, it should make us smile. Or, better yet, take our breath away.

By Nancy Ranchel
