Bored with your room…
…change your lampshades! This great tip is courtesy of Jonathan Legate in his interview with Modern Bird Studios. It’s super quick and fairly inexpensive to make this easy update to any room. Great idea Jonathan!

We applaud Scott Roewer…
…for all his work in support of Habitat for Humanity Montgomery County. You may remember, we served as a denim drop-off location a few months ago to help Scott with his goal of collecting 500 pairs of jeans to be turned into eco-friendly insulation for homes built by the Habitat for Humanity organization. The reason for the number 500 – that’s the number of pairs of jeans needed to make insulation for one entire home. Well, Scott did better that 500 pairs, he was able to collect 657 pairs! 9 News Now featured Scott and his mountain of denim on Wednesday evening. Congratulations on exceeding your goal Scott. All your efforts have made a difference!

“The living room in my new house has a huge green marble fireplace which I think is very dated. How could I decorate around it so that I do not have to spend money to redo the fireplace? Thanks a lot for your help.”

The “Take You Home” art exhibit is a must see
The “Take You Home” exhibit currently showing at Gallery Plan B is a must see. Works by both featured artists, Mike Weber and Jason Wright, are breathtaking. Wright uses a modern take on knife painted landscapes to create beautiful, clean-lined pieces. Weber works are the marriage of antique photography and technology, and the results are amazing.
