Decorating…

We had a delightful bonus meeting with Addie Meade!  She is such a fun spunky woman with a gorgeous home and yard.  Thank you Addie for sharing your secrets!  It was a fabulous evening!  Thank you to all who came and supported her and this fun night.

We enjoyed cheesecake and punch by the pool…

Each home is decorated with memories over the years, it was interesting to see and learn from Addie where she has been, and how that has impacted her decorating…She is also a thrift store, garage sale, estate sale GURU who sees a finished project before it’s even started…Here is a painting that re-painted to match the colors of a room in her home…

Her home is decorated in French Country and it seems that her house never ends!  There were so many rooms!

She has designed and sewn all pillows and curtains…

If you missed this night, Addie has already said she would love to help anyone with ideas on how to decorate on a budget.  Thanks again Addie!
