The Turtle and the “Hair” of it!

Wednesday, June 24th, 2009

Most of us, designers and laymen, or should that be laywomen(?) know something about interior design and decorating.  Most people are familiar with the classics of good design (the “turtle”) that never go out of style, particularly the wealthy.  But most people aren’t wealthy, and can’t afford an expensive Biedermier piece for their furnishings collection.  And with the rapid changes in the economy, thus enters the “hair”.  This is what this blog is about.  How do I make my home welcoming and updated in today’s tight financial market?  What is new to the market that won’t break the bank?  How can I get that look that I see on the cover of shelter magazines?  What to keep and what to sell at my next yard sale?  Who to talk to, and what does it cost for a professional consultation?  Where should I invest in my home?  What ARE the new trends that have come out of the woodwork for us budget minding working folks?  And what are the “insider” shortcuts?  What makes a space work?

There are so many areas to cover, so please watch for our blog on a new subject each week, and feel free to blog your questions or suggestions on a topic!!!
