Redesigning Your Space!

May 30, 2019

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve walked into a clients house, only to hear them say how frustrated they are with their home. “I hate my kitchen.” “My bedroom is a mess; it’s a dumping ground for everyone.” “I don’t know what to do with my family room,” and on, and on, it goes. How can anyone feel right about that? Your home should be a place where you can retreat from this crazy busy world. Not where you come home, and all you see is frustration because it’s not what you have envisioned. Does this sound familiar to you? Who wants to go back to that? No one I know!

Then one day you decide, “That’s it. I’m redoing this space.” Good for you. Where do you begin? You look to magazines for inspiration, but let’s face it, it can be overwhelming. “Where do I get that sofa?” “That rug?” “That dining room table?” “What type of kitchen cabinets should I purchase?” But still, you stay optimistic, “I can do this.” Now comes the costly decision process. “Will, that counter go with that backsplash?” “What kind of flooring should I use?” “I like this dining table but not those chairs. What can I do about that?” “What size area rug should I use for that space?” “What size chandelier should I use in my dining room?” OMG!! Decision, decisions, decisions! And if you make the wrong decision, how much will that set you back? 

This is where I come in. I take away all that stress, all that worry. I know where to shop, what’s trending, what’s not. Please think of me as your personal guide to shopping, here to help you every step of the way. Rest assures when space is completed; you will “FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR HOME AGAIN.”

My goal is to give you the home you desire. So when you come home after a hard day’s work, your home becomes your sanctuary. A place to relax and let out all the worries of the day. No more fretting about how you hate the way your house looks

Please take a look at this brief video that I have created. This will give you a good idea of what can be done, then make the decision today to redesign your space!!

Mixing Patterns

September 5, 2018
Mixing Patterns!!
When mixing patterns, odd numbers work best. When selecting colors, I generally like to choose colors from big items, such as a sofa, area rug or chair.
Here is some guideline that will help you when choosing patterns:

  • Vary the scale of the patterns. Use large and small-scale patterns.
  • Choose two important colors and one neutral.
  • Use either cool tones or warm, DO NOT  mix the tones.
  • Use the patterns in all three working zones, function zone (furniture area), power zone (mid-area) and ceiling zone.

  • Try to keep 3 patterns. Using too many patterns doesn’t give the eyes a place to rest and will feel chaotic…

The most important rule when mixing patterns is COLOR. Make sure the colors are in the same tone. You also want to show some restraint and NOT go overboard!! A healthy mix is excellent. So go out there and have fun!!
