All Good Rooms Take Time

All good rooms take time to decorate, it doesn't have to be done all at once! A common question I get is "Can you mix the woods in your home?" Absolutely! A mix of woods is wonderful, and keeps the room from feeling too matchy. In my home I have a varied grain laminate floor (which I LOVE!) mixed in with antiques and newer pieces. It gives the room a warm feel, as though it's been decorated over time.

Don't forget to add personal items to your decor. I love to include pieces from my travels, even simple things such as pine cones, shells and corks can be displayed beautifully in hurricane vases and help to tell a story. Don't forget pictures, they help to tell that story too!

Happy Decorating!
