15 REASONS TO HIRE AN INTERIOR DECORATOR

15. Not your specialty. Want your dermatologist to do a heart stint?

14. Create rooms with serenity, filling you with energy. (Ha, hire the decorator.)

13. Place ceiling fixtures properly. Hire the electrician twice?

.

12. Choose light fixtures: new to junkers from thrift stores stored in your garage.

.

11. Place artwork on walls. Move paintings 2-3x's on newly painted walls?

.

10. Place bric-a-brac. Trifling trinkets when you do it.

.

9. Place lamps & choose new shades. Most important if you have a lighting fetish.

.
8. Place furniture. Pianos are heavy, buffets too.

.

7. Honor collections. Culling years of collecting into Something....Anything. Will toss what you tell me to.

.
6. Choose flooring. Too many choices to go it alone.

.

5. Choose fabrics. Too many choices.

.

4. Choose colors. Too many choices.

.

3. Increase intended function of each room/space.

.

2. Save money.

.

1. AMPLIFY WHO I AM

.

Yes, I'm hiring an interior decorator, Susanne Hudson. Counterintuitively I know Susanne will save money and make me, more me. My house, 22 years old, with original everything, has reached a crisis. Oh, the clawfoot tub in my garden? Dahlings, it's coming inside.

.

It's time my house catch up to the FABULOSITY of my garden, VANISHING THRESHOLD.

Garden & Be Well, XO Tara
