INTRODUCTION TO WINDOW COVERINGS
When should I call a designer?
Gone are the days when women had the time to go from store to store looking for the furnishings to decorate their homes. People today need and want the services of an interior decorator, but feel reluctant to call in a one for fear they will be intimated.
Fortunately, there is a new breed of decorator who not only wants to decorate to please you and your family, but wants to provide you with service and affordable products. They are less concerned with what is trendy, and more interested in good classic design that will not be out of style next year.
It's very important that you call a decorator in at the very beginning of your process. It's important to discuss the scope of your project at the very start, so that wise decisions can be made. If you're building a new home, a designer can effectively assist you from the blueprint stage on out!
Remember! A decorator can make your ideas work even better!

DECORATING & DESIGN TIPS
Entryway
Inviting Entries
There’s a room in your home that isn’t really a room… yet its the place where a guests receive their very first impression of your home. And the last impression upon leaving! Guess which room we’re talking about? It’s your entry hall or foyer.
This area is truly a key area or room in your home, and in should say "welcome" to your family and friends. It should have the stamp of your personality, and should introduce the mood and style of the remainder of your home. How can you achieve so much in what is usually so small a space?
Actually its the limitation of this space that will permit your ingenuity and imagination free rein. Usually it’s a good idea to keep this space transitional in style. And since it’s a space where one seldom lingers, you can try some way-out or non-traditional ideas.
Try displaying unusual objects such as a collection of miniature chairs as a focal point. Or decorate with striking colors you might not consider using elsewhere. A small accent table placed in your foyer will allow you endless accessorizing possibilities. Why not change your foyer accessories with the seasons! It’s a great and creative way to give your entry your own personality stamp!

Livable Living Rooms
Livable Living Rooms
Living rooms deserve your best!
If there is one room in your home viewed by family and guests more than any other, it’s your living room! Usually the largest room, it will likely receive your most generous decorating budget!
As the heart of your home -- the room where you entertain friends and relax with family -- it’s the one place your personality and lifestyle are evident to all.
Here are quick tips to make YOUR living room the winner you want!
Color: create a harmonious color scheme -- all your family’s likes and dislikes are reflected.
Comfort: sofas and chairs should be rounded corners and soft, yet firm cushioning.
Furniture: Look for groupings that permit conversation. Arrange your furniture to accommodate easy TV viewing. Consider traffic lanes so it’s convenient to move around the room.
Accessories: create the harmonious feeling you want with sheers, upholstery fabrics, needlepoint accents, fabric covered tables and area rugs.
