More of the needlepoint extravaganza at my friend Helen’s house in Houston decorated for the Autumnal season. You are in for more treats today where we will look at Helen’s living room. Helen has a red and yellow theme in her home which I love! She, like me, also needlepoint canvases she likes as well as canvases that go in her house. She has been needlepointing for about 30 years. Over the years, Helen has acquired many antiques and has quite a few from family.
Today a tour of her living room.
