“A house is a home when it shelters the body and comforts the soul.” — Phillip Moffitt
It’s always an honor to have your home featured in the “Homestyle” section of The Detroit News. Here’s a link to the article that runs this weekend, featuring our 1927 Tudor-revival home decorated for Christmas. Design writer Jeanine Matlow did a wonderful job telling our story. To see additional photos that didn’t appear in the article click here. From our house to yours, a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! — CL

What fun to peek into your magical home!

Oh. My. Goodness.
Wow, for a minute there I was speechless. I mean I knew you were a big deal, a published author and all. BUT YOU ARE A REALLY BIG DEAL!
Your home is magical, and yet so warm and cozy… friendly. The white bedroom is the perfect touch.
I can’t wait to see the F.L.W. home:)
Merry Merry, I’m so glad to know you!

Truly a lovely home. I see why you decorate for the holidays the way you do. The house itself is too beautiful to clutter up.

It’s all so enchanting , Cindy.
I hope your Christmas has been beyond magical and that you are feeling as much joy and peace and love as you share.

What a lovely home! I can see you in it so clearly now and the story about when you met your husband is precious. I love how you have such a long history together and still have so much obvious joy in your relationship as seen in the photo of you hugging his neck.
Warm wishes for a Happy New Year.
