Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! The gifts and Christmas decor are put away for another year, and now it's time to organize, and sometimes we get the itch to upgrade or redecorate. Well, Distinctive Designs has been busy doing some upgrading and redecorating as well....check out our new website at www.distinctiveinteriordesigns.net. On it you will find services we offer, a bit about our history, some client projects and links. One link is to this blog! Continue checking it out occasionally and you can read about interesting design ideas, shopping recommendations and some great additional design tips.

One November 1, 2007, we were proud to be featured in the Everett, WA newspapers' Home and Garden section. It showed photos of color and curtain designs of two past clients. You can view it at http://www.heraldnet.com/article/20071101/LIVING03/711010021. We were thrilled to get the press!

Design Dilemma:
"I have an old chair I love, should I buy a new one, or reupholster it?" I get asked this question a lot. Often, with fabric and reupholstery, it can cost as much as purchasing a new chair. However, if the chair is well made, an antique of family heirloom with good bones, then it is well worth the money to have it reupholstered. We can bring you the fabric, and take the chair for you to be finished to your "custom" standards. Sometimes, it is better to purchase new, and we can help you with that by guiding you to a store or catalog, or we can go shopping with you of for you!
