I finally got some good pictures of my two favorite rooms in the house. I had the pleasure to hire Claire Brocato to come to Rainbow and do her magic. When I saw the results I was in love again with my REDS! I was not going for perfect, I just wanted some good photos to make a calendar for my mamma. I didn't even need to dust! Can you see dust, dog hair?....it's there,lol
Claire is an amazing photographer, Thank you and I will have some outdoor photos later during the week.

Ciao for now
Rita

  4. It's always fun to see how others decorate their home. Expecations are not always right! Your home is very cute! Oh, by the way, I believe REAL homes have dust and dog hair. That's what makes them cozy. ;) Mine also happens to include cheerios! LOL!
