Making A Home Beautiful!

I am asked frequently, what makes a home beautiful? Where do I start? How do I get that special look? My answer is much the same- you do! Every home has a heart. You have to start there. The individual is what makes a home unique and special. A home can tell a lot about a perosn's character, their values, their inspirations. It can talk about where you've been, what you like to do and what is important to you. These days, so many want the "sameness" that comes from cookie-cutter decorating and one-stop shopping. Are we afraid to reveal ourselves? Are we uncomfortable showing ourselves to our friends, colleagues, family? Sure, you can get some help from a designer. I would be out of business if I didn't beieve in that, but listen...I don't live in your home-you do! Live! Love! Explore! If you love collecting seashells, use them in a great way. If you have traveled to cities in Europe (or have always wanted to) get some great books on them. Don't be afraid because the little touches throughout your home tell us that we like you, that we want to get to know you and that we share the same ideas. Make your home beautiful just by being you.
