This Saturday & Sunday Morning on NBC after the Today Show. Lots of Sassy Tips!

You all responded so positively to the book idea, yesterday. So, I thought it would only be fair to show you the rest of the table. My food did double duty and helped to create a beautiful setting while also filling everyone’s stomachs. Aren’t the fruit kabobs fun?!

Using normal household decorative items like these coffee table books is a great way to add color and dimension onto any buffet table!

Believe it or not, this makeover is much easier than it looks! In fact, it is a great one for rental renovations! It requires no paint at all. All you need is a few panels of drapes against one wall to begin creating the drama and a cool piece of art to at some sizzle. This can be done in any room of the house. Behind a bed is a great one, too. Here, the whole design was perfectly executed with the colorful chandelier and the plates that tie in with the art. Great design is all about layering, but also knowing when to stop.

Here, I replaced some old, rotted wooden doors on hinges with these fabulous bi-folding ones. Nana Wall makes these and they are a wonderful way to make the inside one with the outside. They are also a perfect choice for remodeling, as when replacing even a set of double doors, they can have a huge impact in creating this very open look.

I just wanted to show you a great way to display a collection that you might have. Here, in this recording studio, I recessed boxes into the wall, added lighting and was able to display a guitar collection in multiple boxes around the room. This is a great look and it also doubled as a place to store the guitars. This could work for so may different types of collections that you might want to display and it is a great look!

This is just a perfect reminder that great style never dies. Using old and really special antique pieces like this is a great way to add style, interest, and a unique look that no one else will have to any room! I love old cameras, typewriters, signs, etc. Everything doesn’t always have to be new.

And the $100 Pottery Barn gift card goes to…. our only contestant of the month Ian Schorvitz! Congratulations and thank you for participating! We would love Ian to share the secrets of this amazing bathroom design with our readers.

Not that we needed more, but it is also the best deal any where around! You can get a full Viking kitchen in the new designer’s series for under $10,000! Most people don’t choose Viking because they think that they can’t afford it. Think again! Thanks, to the fabulous Viking Range Corporation!
