Attitude: Thought for the Day

The longer we live, the more we realize the impact of ATTITUDE on life. ATTITUDE is more important than facts. It is more important than education, money, or successes. ATTITUDE is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. We have a choice everyday regarding the ATTITUDE we will embrace for that day. Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% of how we react to it.

A special thank you to Jenna of Simply Bon Vivant for featuring BB&B today. I am honored and flattered to be a part of your "Blogs We Love" series!

Decorating Ideas - How to Arrange Art on Your Walls

When a customer purchases one of my watercolor paintings, I often get asked the question, "How should I arrange the art on my wall?". Even though this is a very good question, there is no right or wrong answer. Some formal dining rooms call for symmetry, while modern living room spaces might entertain a mix matched collage. It simply is a matter of your personal taste. After all, people buy art that pleases them and makes them happy; therefore, do what feels natural and right to you. I have collected an assortment of wall displays to give you some ideas.
