		<description><![CDATA[Some little girls get into mom&#8217;s makeup and jewelry. I was into her sewing box. Along with the treasures within, I adored the embossed knight and castle scene on the top. The 16&#215;12 inch tin was once filled to the brim with German lebkuchen, lebkuchen being gingerbread cookies. Tins like this are still given as gifts around Christmas. In [...]]]></description>

The quiz consists of several rooms that you rate &#8212; from hate it to love it to eh-it&#8217;s okay inbetween. Want to get more specific and pick the room apart piece by piece?

		<description><![CDATA[We had a fire inspection at our antique mall &#8212; American Classics Marketplace in Colorado Springs. The results of which lead to major changes. No more twinkle lights AT ALL. No more hanging anything from the ceiling AT ALL. And no more extension cords AT ALL. The only power source can be a power strip and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a rare object in my house that simply sits there. When you live in a small space, there isn&#8217;t much room for useless stuff. Objects simply have to function. That doesn&#8217;t mean, however, that function can&#8217;t be beautiful. It&#8217;s the little functional items in everyday life that can bring the most joy. Used day [...]]]></description>

Not only does she come across as a lovely person, her philosophy is close to my own &#8211; the home owner&#8217;s heart, life and soul needs to be included in every design. Kudos to HGTV, too.

Well, it&#8217;s scrumptious when SHE makes it. Devil&#8217;s food mix, chocolate chips AND chocolate pudding &#8212; how can I possibly mess this up?
