Let the fun begin!!

Hello everyone i'm back to help you with your decorating needs :).But before we start i just have to tell you this, If you have a dog, your always told never let them win, well sometimes let them win, I found this out last night when i was pulled off the couch and bruising my hip, didn't think the fall was going to be that hard... oh I was so wrong!! So now that i have told you that, back to your decorating needs! I left you with these 3 questions:

#1
Look through that decor magazine, rip out the pages that stand out to you
#2
Find that inspiration piece around your home or when your out shopping around, and make that your "OMG" item that you know you are in love with and everyone else when they come into your home!
#3
work out the hubby or spouse and ease them in easy to your ideas.

So how did those 3 simple questions go for you?? i hope well.... No worries if they didn't that's why I'm here... I sometimes find with my clients the hardest part is finding there inspiration piece, and its only because we find so many things we like! so if u cant find it right away keep looking, you will know when you see it, you will be saying OH MY GOD!THAT'S IT! And if your anything like me, I shriek a little and get stared at! So if you are that person that doesn't have your OMG piece its OK, you can still follow with us( please breathe now ). So with those pics that you have ripped out of the magazines have them in front of you and start picking favourites and not so much favourites! Once you have those piles, go through the not so favourite pile and pick out what you did like about them.. and when u have that done fold where that favourite piece was. There is a method to the madnesssss!!!

So with the piles and little folded squares of magazine paper I am going to leave you with this task.. go to your local paint store whether it is Benjamin Moore, Para or sico, find paint chips to match the room colour, wood work, fabric colours, and the little accesories you don't really notice. ( pay attention to the little detail, it will make the space!!). And when you are doing this make sure you get 3 colours for each item!! to make this a little easier, have seperate envelopes for each magazine page and folded page! this way they won't get all mixed up!!

GOOD LUCK and always remember HAVE FUN!! if its not fun you shouldn't be doing it!!
