Celebrate Earth Day

Decorating With Nature

Happy Earth Day dear readers!

To see a world in a grain of sand

And a heaven in a wild flower

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand

And eternity in an hour.

- William Blake Poet, painter 1757-1827

I thought it would be a good idea to show you these rooms today, decorated with natural materials such as timber and cane.
