Chris Elrod has been writing a great series on warming up your winter interiors.  My favorite, of course, is the cheapest least expensive.  You can paint, get new curtains window treatments, change your room, accessorize!, and put in new shag carpet.  Shag really is making a comeback, but not the purples, greens, and oranges of the past.  I’ve seen a lot of speckled beiges.

Singer Michelle Branch just bought a home here. 

Singer and longtime Big Time Listings fave Michelle Branch has paid $1,350,000 for a house in the Belle Meade area of Nashville, Tenn.
