Gail Claridge Designs Home Tour

Interior designer Gail Claridge was born with a passion for design. Always interested in collectables and antiques, she has used her imagination, attention to...
detail, and design abilities to turn her personal residences into jewel boxes.   The rooms all have so much detail and I love the colors.

Pocket Pies

These Pies are so easy to make.  Besides having their own personal pie, everyone 

gets a crispy top and bottom crust, which is something most pie eaters LOVE! 

Display Window
I love how my Display Window has taken shape.  It's in my Office, in the top part of the Armoire {doors have been removed} and when the Glass French Doors to the office are open almost all the way, it looks exactly like this from just outside the office...from my Living Room/Great Room.

Flashback Friday - A Baby

A Baby Boy Was Born.  On April 6, 1970, at 11:41 am this precious 

child entered our lives.  We Named Our Son, Stephen Craig.

I ♥ Shopping Shaped Expressions Etsy Shop

I shopped and shopped and then...I found their lovely shop.  They have

the cutest collage frames, in all sorts of shapes, sizes and colors, even 

unpainted, so that you can finish however you would like.  It worked 

for me and solved all my problems with different sized paintings!

FlashBack Friday - Ralph Hermann

He was born 100 years ago - quite the FlashBack!  Now, what do I know about 

Ralph Hermann?  Why would I know anything about Ralph Hermann?  What 

did he do?  Do you know what he was famous for?   Well, let me tell you...

I'm At the End of My Rope and Feeling Sad

I just want some peace and quiet and a soft place to land.  I don't want to deal with all 

nonsense and arguments...and all the difficulties.  It's too hard.  I just want it to end.  

It isn't good for my health.

My House at Christmas - Circa 2007

Two big trees...and lots of other pretty things.  I even decorated our Bedroom and Den 

(no pictures) with trees and wreaths and pretty things.  I even decorated the front 

porch and yard...in 2007.
