Today was a busy day of Thrift Stores and Flea Markets. These two places are the best for finding rare art, bookcase fillers, and furniture pieces. I believe mixing the old with the new creates a warm, cozy feeling. It is also important to know where to shop when a client has a special request. When working with a budget, and a specific time, knowing where to shop is crucial. Over the next few months, I plan on covering many different aspects of design. The two areas I would like to concentrate on is Home Staging, and Home Redesign. Both involve designing a home catered to a specific group. Home staging is designing a home through the eyes of the buyer while on the market. I will teach you how to de-clutter your home, and de-personalize the space so the new home owner can picture themselves living there. Home redesign is working with the home owner, using existing furniture and accessories, and bringing a new life to the room. This is typically accomplished by taking everything out of the room and evaluating the space. Sometimes clients just need alittle help implementing a design idea.

Taking your space Up a Notch,
