decorating style for your personality

 Do you hate your home?

Do you suffer from any of these common decorating dilemmas?

  • Too much 'stuff' and not enough space?

  • Making a small room work?

  • Choosing the perfect colors?

  • Not enough furniture?

  • How to place your furniture so you're not tripping on it?

  • Pretty rooms that are totally uncomfortable?

  • How do you make cabinets look good until you can afford to replace them?

  • Do you have decorating dilemas that seem like they can only be resolved by a bomb? (Yeah, I know. I've lived in a few old houses.) 

Have you pulled your hair out trying to figure out how to design a room that fits everyone's needs - and still looks good?

These days, it can be a real challenge. How do you get enough comfortable seating, places for drinks and snacks, and games, and computers, and...

It doesn't matter if you have a huge new home, or a tiny 2 bedroom 100 year old house. Its what you make of it.

I've lived in homes with rooms so big I couldn't afford to furnish them. I've lived in homes so small my furniture wouldn't fit right.

I've had money, and I've been poor. Mostly I've been struggling middle class. Growing up, I wanted so much to be like all the happy families. They had such nice houses. They ate what seemed to me like gourmet dinners. I wanted what they had. Know what I mean?

When I struck out on my own, I always decorated my apartments. I made them look as nice as I could with what I had. I learned how to paint and wallpaper, and refinish wood, and make curtains. I even had a painting business for a short while.

When it seemed that I had finally made it and could afford nicer things, the bottom fell out of the economy – and left me firmly back at the bottom. At least my home didn't have to reflect the dismal reality. It could still be a cozy and comfortable refuge.  

As a busy single working mom, I needed a home that's easy to keep up with kids, dogs, and cats. My home needed to be comfortable, inviting, and easy to keep clean.

I couldn't be worried about every bit of sand, dirt, and snow that was going to be tracked in. The house had to be able to withstand real life, and still look good.

And I needed to be able to do the work myself.

Sound like a tall order?

Can't you just copy a room?

Maybe you've watched all the latest TV shows, read books and magazines until you found a room that you thought you would love.... and it just wasn't right.

If you've ever tried to copy a room out of a magazine or a TV show, and then hated it – you probably felt like something was wrong with you. Like you just didn't get the decorating gene or something. There's nothing wrong with you.

There's a problem with all the pretty decorating publications -

The truth is, those rooms are staged. No one actually lives in the room looking that way. All the clutter and signs of life are removed. The lighting is made just right.

Once the cameras leave, then the real life resumes in those rooms – but you don't see that part.

Those rooms are designed for the ooohs and aaahs – not real life.

You need a home – Not a museum

You need a home that feels good. Life is so stressful. Home is where you are supposed to be able to kick back and relax. Stress kills. You need someplace to escape.

But dingy walls, colors you hate, clutter, and a mish mosh of stuff causes even more stress. And God Forbid anyone would stop over unannounced...

I know of a family that never lets anyone come over because their house always looks so bad. Their kids can't even have friends over. Can you imagine?

Are you dying to fix it?

How much better would it feel if you were surrounded by colors and things you love?

How much more relaxing would it be if your home fit your lifestyle perfectly?

Whether you have kids, or you're an empty nester...

Whether you work full time, or your life is filled with other activites...

Whether you have pets, hobbies...

Testimonial

      "My decorating sense always told me that as long
       as my furniture and room was functional that was
      best it was going to get.  Then I read Carole's
      book and I found it could look great too."
