Decorating Gods vs. the Real World

There is an ongoing battle in the design world of trends vs. things you love. Many times we are shamed by decorating gods pushing trends and themes. You go back into your home and look at the things you love and wonder if you need to get rid of them. No you don’t! I feel very strongly about mixing in elements that you love with good design.

Many people chase trends, and become vulnerable to what stores and magazines advocate. But that only leaves you with an overexposed purchase, meaning that you are likely to run into your same lamp at a couple of neighbors and friends homes.

Your life, home and family are unique and your design should reflect that in a comfortable way. If you like a certain look, material or texture, go for it! A designer will show you how to mix and utilize it in a balanced way. We believe in the value of design that you love and one that lasts.

Redesign or Staging, What is the Difference?

Redesign is getting your home or space up to date. Staging prepares your home for sale.

Redesign can range from rearranging your existing furniture to painting your walls. This maintains or expresses your personality throughout your home. This is can be used to keep your home feeling fresh and new. Our staging services help you eliminate extra pieces of furniture and, in the right amount, to remove personal touches. By doing this we help your house look like a model home. The key is to provide just enough warmth to convince a person that they could live here, without distracting them with too much of your personality that may be very different from yours.

Wallpaper

Wallpaper is a great way to spice up a space. We use it mostly in bathrooms and dining rooms to add a pop of interest. Wallpapers come in many designs; we especially like the ones with metallic accents. The papers are of a high quality, and very easy to clean and change when its time for a new look.
