for bringing colors from your gardens or landscape inside.

The Right Decor
You may have an idea in your head, or have spent
countless hours flipping through magazines or walking through
stores. The answers to your interior decorating
needs are right here at this website. A theme is
a great option to planning your overall decor.
Themes
- Tropical or Beach
- Country Living
- Safari
- Oriental
- Whimsical
- Modern Era
- Old Time And Nostalgia
- Fruit and Food
- Formal
- Decades
- Different Cultures
These are just a few examples of possible themes that can
turn your dull room or rooms into a delightful and new
look.
Seasonal
You can create different looks for any time
of the year. Holidays are fun to decorate
and use your own personality in creating
an atmosphere that you and your family can
enjoy. Get the whole family involved
and make the holidays or different seasons
a memorable occasion.
Prep Work
Lets say you just built a house and the
walls have to be painted. Maybe you are doing
a make over in one or two rooms. Preparing
floors, walls, or ceilings is critical in the
process of interior decorating. I will walk you
through steps on stripping a floor, removing
wallpaper, the importance of primers, and a variety
of other essential preparations. This is no different
than preparing your landscape before planting.
Prep and Enjoy!

Lets Have Some Fun
Interior Decorating doesn't have to be
mind boggling. Creating your own look
starts with knowing some basic design
tools. After you have read the basic tips,
we will have some fun in decorating your
room or rooms. We will work together as
a team, and create a room for anyone that
needs a little help. Watch out because before
you know it, you will be having way too much
fun and wanting to help others do a room or two.
Sponged Wall
Sponge painting is a lot of fun
and something the whole family could
become involved with. I will be going
through step by step on how to take a
base color and use accent colors to
create this look, and other techniques.
You can use any color tones you want
and create your very own masterpiece.
The neutral tones of the wall brings
out the accessory color of the bright
fish wind chime.
Trends
Different decorating trends
have been around for years.
Remember the checkerboard flooring,
plaids and stipes era, and the bright shag rug.
The shag rug, plaids, and stripes have actually come and
gone and come back again. Today,
the trend is on a more personal
note and people are decorating
their interiors with their own
personality. Together we can
explore the different trends
over the years and maybe an
old trend will fit a room or
two for you. This will be
an active part of this website,
and you can have the chance
to share with others the
different decorating phases
you have gone through.
