Take a look around your house...in mine I just added my peacock sheets to my usually brown and crisp white "summer" bed. And, I'm liking having more stuff out around my rooms....an extra blanket on the arm of the sofa, a richly textured pillow added to the sofa....I love adding to what I already have. And, YES, I DO use my own products in my house!!!

My niece Kate (14 months) just made her 1st trip to Chicago. I started to notice the way I have the furniture, what was soft and welcoming as I went room by room. I also learned what it all must look and feel like to someone who’s two and a half feet tall. It made me want to have the most welcoming home for everyone this season. Whether they’re stopping by for a bottle (in Kate's case) or a full on dinner party, I want my home to be the warmest place this season. I hope yours will be too.

response from Nate's recent visit….

Hey everyone! Just returned from my last HSN show of the year and I continue to be so inspired by all of YOU! You called in to the show and told me how you were combining colors, making YOUR beds, and continuing to give me more ideas for my line. Keep watching for new products every visit, and as the season wraps up, I hope you and your families have a safe and meaningful holiday season!
