The Secret to Decorating Your Home Like a Pro!

     If you're like most people, it's always more difficult to design your own space rather than giving a friend tips on sprucing up theirs. I used to arrange furniture and accessorize throughout my house, then everytime I walked by, I'd move something around or take it down all together. Yet I knew just what was missing in my friends' home and gave the best design advise. Do you know why that is? Well, it's because you have to put yourself in the position where you are the outsider looking in!
Trick of the trade; take photographs of your space in order to see it in a different perspective, then decide what's necessary to pull together a cohesive style, more importantly your style. I always recommend printing the photos, then drawing and making notes on them. After that, revisit your design faux pas and/or make a plan to go to the store to get what you need. You dont have to be a photographer or an artist to do this. Trust me, just take the picture, pick up the pen and define what you want to see in your space.

You will thank me! You'll come to either one of two realizations;
1. That your space may really need to be reevaluated
Or
2. Your not doing so bad, you just needed a second opinion - your own :)
