Ep 207Know Your Decorating Style

If I asked you, "What is your decorating style" what would you say? It's important to have a very clear idea of your style to be a fabulous home decorator and to help guide you when making purchasing for your home. Don't get stuck or make wrong choices because you cannot clearly define your style.Decorating styles are fluid and our tastes change. But the more clearly you can focus in on the style you love the better decorator you are!Most people have a mix of styles in their home. And that is a good thing!!!! A little mix gives your home personality!You can love lots of different styles but just don't decorate with all of them! It can be very confusing.If you are not happy with your style you should look through magazines, blogs, Pinterest, and go on home tours and find the style you absolutely love! Four words to remember when thinking about a decorating style...CURATE- you want a purposefully chosen look. Every item you put in your home should fit your decorating story and go with the rest of your home.COHESIVE- strive for a home that looks unified and flows together. No outliers!CONTROL- don't get to crazy when decorating. Control your style... Edit, Edit, Edit!CONFIDENCE- if you decorate with confidence and know your style you can decorate with joy moving forward.Create a private Pinterest board to collect pins of decor you are attracted to. Study those images and see if you can pull out decorating "themes".Make a mood board online. Choose items you would love to put in a room. Decorative juxtaposition is great and gives lots of interest to a room, but too many juxtaposed styles will look confused. Please take into consideration the style of your home and the geographic location of your home when decorating!We Talked about how to determine your decorating styLe in epIsode 2 HERENeed help with your home?

Ep 204Something is Missing - How to Figure Out What

SOMETHING IS MISSING?! FIGURE IT OUT!!!!! Do you ever walk into a room in your home and say to yourself, "Something is missing"? But you just don't know what it is. Don't worry we've all said that too! And we want to give you lots of tips and things to think about to solve this problem like Sherlock Holmes! Our best tip is to take a picture of your room. A picture gives us a better perspective of our rooms and can often show us what is "off". Do you have too many little pieces and things in your room? It better to have less and often better to have larger items. Too many things in a room make it look cluttered! Think "larger and less"! Does everything in your room works together? Give your room a cohesive and curated look. You may have great furnishing but they may not work together! Don't overdecorate! Rooms need "white space" or breathing space to work! Take out some things in a room and rearrange what you are keeping and see how it looks. Another thing to think about is the height of everything in your room. If everything is low or all the same height it will look "off" at best. Use tall art, long curtains and even a tall piece of furniture to help your eye move up around the room. Boo Hoo... make sure your room does not lack your personality! A sad room is a room without a personal touch. Let your style shine! Even the most beautiful furniture showroom looks stark! Share what you collect or add things that tell a story about you! Texture, texture, texture baby!!!! Make sure you have lots and lots of great texture in a room. Kelly loves mirrors and thinks a mirror should grace every room. Balance and symmetry are so important. Make sure the furniture on one side of the room is balanced by the other. Make sure you have a clearly defined focal point. More than one can fight and none at all will look confusing. Layer decor. But don't layer every part of a room. After you layer decor make sure to take one or two things out and see if you like it better! But do layer! Get friendly with Pinterest. Study rooms you love and deconstruct it. Find out what makes you love it and transfer what you love to your room. Need help with your home? We'd love to help! We do personalized consults, and we'll offer advice specific to your room that typically includes room layout ideas, suggestions for what the room needs, and how to pull the room together. We'll also help you to decide what isn't working for you. We work with any budget, large or small. Find out more HERE Hang out with us between episodes at our blogs, IG and Kelly's YouTube channels.

So today we have some great tips and tricks for you and for each other! So let's lean in and listen up! I'm channeling your mother and saying... MAKE YOUR BED! A task well done first thing in the morning sets you up for a day of success. You will love this book by Admiral William McCraven, MAKE YOUR BED- Little things that can change your life and maybe the world. See it HERE See Yvonne's post HERE Open your shades and curtains in the am too! Eat breakfast! We do sound like your mother!!!!! Drink warmish water with lemon in the morning too. As a matter of fact, drink water all day! Use a smaller plate so you won't overeat When things come out of the dryer fold/hang them right away. And put them away!!!!! Nothing haunts me like baskets full of folded laundry on my bedroom floor! Do one load of laundry a day to make your life so much easier! Keep going and do something all the way through. If you only partially do a job you have a bigger mess! Think of different ways to store or decorate things. Look at what you have in it's "best purpose" way! Rearrange your furniture for a fresh new look. Buy an investment decor piece once a year. Rome was not built in a day and neither will a room you love! It takes time and thought. Enjoy the process of change. Don't be in a hurry. A handy cordless vacuum is a great little appliance that will change the way you clean!

Ep 192Transitioning Decor From Spring to Summer

Transitioning decor from one season to the next is such an easy way to decorate! Let's talk about how you can easily transition from spring into summer decor no matter your style! Transitioning from one season to the next is as easy as replacing a spring plant with a bouquet of summer flowers! It's the idea of decorating and just slipping in and out decor. Think about freshening things up for the new season! The summer season lends itself to more pops of color and flowers and plants! Now is the time to put away overtly spring/Easter decor like bunnies, chicks, eggs etc. And bring out decor that lightens up our homes! Have you thought about using TURKISH TOWELS to decorate with this summer? How about using them as a tablecloth, table runner, a throw at the foot of your bed, as a guest towel, a napkin or a placemat and more! Now is also the time to think about changing up your bedding. Make it work for the warmer weather to come. Light layers are a great way to sleep in the summer! This is a great idea! Anita's buying four plants for the outside and each week she is rotating her plants indoors for one week. We hope her plants survive!

Ep 190Bedroom Trends 2018

We love the new bedroom trends for 2018. It seems solid linens are much more popular than the printed duvets. Wrinkled linen is Hot, hot, hot. And when I say hot, I mean popular, because the linen stays cool to the touch; that's essential for our hot climate. The other big trend is making a bedroom into a sanctuary, whatever that means to you.

Cocktail or Coffee Table? What do you call it? No matter what you call it we have lots of great tips and measurement and good ideas for you today! If you have a tape measurer it can help you find the perfect coffee table that will work in your home. Measure the top of the seat height, the length of your sofa and the height of your coffee table.

Ep 174Craving Color - Best Ways to Add it

Even neutral girls like us crave a bit of color now & again! How about you? Pop of red, blue, pink, green, yellow...perhaps? But how to add it in without taking the space over with color. Add color in large accessories - spray paint a wooden coffee table for a wow of color. How about tossing a colorful throw over the back of your sofa? Kelly loves the idea of painting the ceiling a pop of color - things are looking up ;) Or a surprise pop of color in a closet. Stair raisers can take thing up a notch with color. Need we mention, pillows of course! Collect ceramics or plates in one color and display the en masse. "En masse" rocks in any hue. Go crazy with color in a tiny space, such as a powder room - make it a jewel box of a space. We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.

Ep 167Tips for a Healthy Home

Oh yeah we want it beautiful, but HEALTHY too! A healthy home is so important not only to avoid germs, but moreover for the functioning of your house. Listen in for lots of great tips & advice. Yvonne uses organic Thieves from Young Living to clean all her surfaces. Have you tried it? Have a look HERE to learn all about it. Use only stainless steel or cast iron pots & pans. Non-stick releases fumes & can chip off into your food. Kelly uses this All Clad pan - see HERE. Add a plant or one every 100 square feet as per Nasa! Try micro-fiber cloths. They hold the dirt rather than pushing it around. Get a set HERE. Forego the scented dryer sheets for organic wool dryer balls. Get some HERE. Or make your own with Yvonne's tutorial. Get the steps HERE. Put changing your house filters in your calendar for at least every 6 months - every 3 if you are feeling up to it. Wipe down all door knob, handles, cell phones and any objects that get lots of touches to avoid spreading germs. For a real thorough clean use a mixture of bleach & water. If you succumb to a cold or the flu or just because it is SO good, make a big pot of Yvonne's chicken soup. Get the recipe HERE.
