Take Your Time

 We all want our home done at once and not have to keep looking and buying all the time to finish a room. I have yet to finish any room in my house. Bad I know , but I want my rooms to be what  I pictured so it takes some time to get all the items I want.  One thing we always tell clients is furniture takes time to come in and don't buy sets! Many people say they can just go buy a living rooms set with sofa, love seat, end tables and cocktail table for one price and it all matches. (and probably way too big for your room) Do NOT do that! Sets never look good and it has no fun to it. If you like a sofa and love seat try to buy different tables that would maybe bring in another color or wood tone. Same goes for bedrooms as well. Buy the headboard but don't match the dresser and nightstands. If you want to get really crazy try different night stands one round and one rectangular maybe? Below are some great tables that can go together but are not so matchy matchy. Designing a home takes time and effort!

Area Rugs - Indoor/Outdoor

I am on the hunt for an area rug for my bedroom and its been such a bother. I for some reason like nothing or what I do like is way too expensive. I could just leave the room with no rug but that would kill me. I have been to many homes and when I walk in and see no area rug in the living room or family room I want to scream! Yes, are they a pain to clean and kids, pet etc ruin them, but they define your area and bring the space together. If you are nervous about cleaning your area rug, you should look into an indoor outdoor one. They are easy to clean and many places now carry them and they are so pretty! I have one in my family room and we love it! Below is just a size guide... some sizes don't always work in a space, that's okay as long as it goes up to the furniture or just a little past it.

My hunt continues for the perfect rug :(
