August is one of those months when the garden is feeling a bit tired from all these months of blooming. People and homes can get that way too - like you just need a break! Now that the summer frenzy is winding down and kids are getting back to school, how about giving your creative self some attention? Perhaps it's time to give your rooms an update or a refresher? This month, I share a designer's challenge - how to transform a fireplace from drab to fab...

 

Enjoy also this month's interior design movie inspiration - "It's Complicated." 

 

Thanks to all who responded to our call for beta testers (see below). We still have a couple of openings, so please email us for more information!

 

Enjoy!  

 

We're looking for people with interest in design to beta test two great new products we're launching.

One is a fun and fabulous decorating idea e-book that is just a gloriously fast wash of design ideas to create an instant creative road map for literally every room in the home - from a small facelift to a total redo, and it's a very fast read (or skim!).

The other is an equally fabulous decorating system I've created just for the design lover, which empowers you to get better-than-ever decorating results in your home as well as teaching you how to work faster & smarter, design & spend more wisely and feel far more confident and in control of your project.
