Putting the Pieces Together

Tile, paint,  counter tops, flooring, wood stain, rugs, wall hangings, and decorative accessories. There is no shortage of decisions to make when redecorating or renovating your home. You may think the challenge is finding the answers but with Pinterest, Houzz, Google Images, HGTV, magazines, and friends with experience in similar situations, the answers can be found all around us. 

Some designers and decorators share their knowledge freely. Experts will tell you about the trends. Sales associates are waiting to sell you the perfect item. Some of them may even ask you a little bit about your house like, "What style is it?" "What colors are in the room?" "What is the lighting like?"  And then even more questions come flooding in.

Taking a step back from everyone's advice and creating a plan is the quickest way to get to the right answers. After all, we are searching for the answers that are right for our unique needs and desires. When you look at your house room by room and consider the changes you want to make step by step, you are slowing down your mind and creating space to listen to your heart which is where your true answers are.
