Yours Truly

Yours truly; I offer this conventional phrase as encouragement to you, as we close this first month of the new year. If you added anything resembling interior decorating to your list of resolutions, I want to cheer you on, in your pursuit of pretty living with a few ideas to get you going. Start with a fresh coat of paint on the walls, or ceiling. A painted or wall papered accent wall might be a perfect place to begin. Replace old light fixtures with new ones that suit your personality. Add some new furniture pieces, like an accent chair or console table to make your space feel more complete and cohesive. Fresh flowers are always a treat, find your favorites and enjoy a vaseful weekly. Think about what you can do to make your home feel more inviting for guests and family. Add a new rug to introduce a bold accent color or to make a noisy room, cozy and quiet. Whatever changes you decide to make, remember the ultimate goal in decorating is to make it yours, truly. If you see yourself in the end result, you’ve done a beautiful job. Happy decorating… make it pretty!
