Greetings!
Living in Dallas in November always brings me a lot of pleasure-the crispness in the air along with a quick change of seasons as we usher in the Holiday festivities. And this year, it is with great excitement that I announce the opening of Dona Rosene Interiors Online Store!
My dream of making some of my favorite home furnishings and accessories available online has come true. In addition to free shipping on orders over $99, I am offering a Holiday Special Offer of 10% off all of the treasures from Global Views

A big shout out to Houzz.com for their continued use of my work in their articles like the one below on "Harvesting Farmhouse Style To Freshen A Fall Home." Also, check out Jan Showers delightful blog "Entertaining Is Fun", a fresh twist of Dorothy Draper's Book on hospitality.
I hope you enjoy the weather, these tips on hospitality & maybe find some items in my store to help prepare your home for the gift of hospitality you will be giving your friends and family. Give me a call if you need assistance. Happy Thanksgiving!

Harvest Farmhouse Style to Freshen a Fall Home
Reap the reward of a wholesome feel when you infuse your home with farmhouse colors, furnishings and accessories.
My family makes several trips each fall to a nearby farm to take part in the seasonal rituals of pumpkin picking and apple cider making - and without fail, each year I am drawn in by the wholesome warmth of farmhouse style. From the fresh, sunny colors and views of wide-open spaces to the reminders of honest hard work and a connection to the past, there is much to be inspired by.

 Blog Spot: "Entertaining Is Fun!" by Jan Showers
Furniture & Interior Designer, Jan Showers takes five entertaining tips from Dorothy Draper's 1940's book and adds her own modern day spin on them. I love Jan's direct comment that explains the importance of correct lighting: "Overhead lighting is used in movies and television to age people----it should only be used for highlighting art and objects." Amen! .

The Gift of Hospitality
 Although today the term "hospitality" describes an industry serving travelers and guests away from the comforts of home, hospitality has been practiced throughout history. In the dictionary, it is defined as "the friendly treatment of guests or strangers; an act or show of welcome."
Hospitality has been considered a virtue in most cultures and religions throughout history. It is referenced in the laws and covenants of the Old Testament, as well as the New Testament and is associated with promise and blessing. It is a said to be a spiritual gift and an expression of compassion.
Hospitality can be expressed through many ways; from sharing food and drink at anytime or place all the way to providing overnight lodging. We are making someone feel welcome and "at home" when they are our guests. We want to prepare our homes not only for our comfort but for the purpose of sharing our lives with our guests and making them feel comfortable in our home.
