Your Signature Color Palette - best of series

We've talked about creating your own signature style HERE (https://www.decoratingtipsandtricks.com/328) But you know what's just as important? We think it's developing your own signature color palette. It's important to decide what colors you want to use. Limiting these colors to your signature ones, will help your home to feel cohesive. It helps when you want to move things from one room to another, and it makes it easier when you are shopping for decor. Try to stick to 3-5 colors for your palette.

The "B" Word - BUDGET! Beautiful on a Budget - best of series

We all have a budget, and it's so hard to stick to it. Today we're talking about how to not blow your budget, and we've got some of our favorite tips to share. Staying on budget means that you need to think about the long haul, and not about instant gratification. Sometimes you have to wait for that special thing. Don't fall into the trap of buying filler pieces that you don't don't really like. It's okay to have empty spaces in your home. Be sure you know what items cost, then you'll know it when you see a good price. We've done a few other episodes on budget decorating that you can find below.

Don't Deny the Urge to Purge

Feel the freedom of an organized house when you give in to the 'urge to purge'. It's even more fun than buying something new. Take a listen and see what we mean. Firstly, please find someone to give your discards to. If you have old towels or blankets, check with your local humane society to see if they will take them. Secondly try to do a declutter at least once a year. If you don't the job will become too overwhelming and you won't even want to start it. Put like things together, that way you'll be able to find things and know where everything is. Now you will be less likely to accidentally buy something you already have. DTT living room challenge STEP 6: CONSIDER YOUR LIFESTYLE This is where practicality steps in. You may want the look of a Parisian flat with velvets and silk, but you live in suburban American with 2 small kids and a dog with a delicate digestive system. You are going to need to be honest with yourself on what you need for the space. Think about how this room will be used and by whom. Your deliverable: A list of activities that take place in this room, who is using the space, and special considerations for the space.

Is less more? It is so easy to get overwhelmed when buying stuff for your house, then using it to decorate your home.

How to Create a Timeless Look

We all want a timeless look that will look fantastic for a long time, so today let's talk about what you can do to create a look that transcends time. One of the best tips is to avoid trends that can date your home. If something is super hot and super popular today, it probably won't stand the test of time. We suggest you hone your very own signature style that you love. Then you buy things that are you, rather than things that are 'on trend'. This is change in mindset that helps keep your style more classic and less trendy. Listen in for many more tips for a timeless look. We mentioned the wall art episode. You can listen to it HERE (https://www.decoratingtipsandtricks.com/315) Workman's friend moisturizer and skin barrier protection. See it HERE (https://workmansfriendbrand.com/collections/workmans-friend/products/barrier-skin-cream?variant=16212035305574).

Budget Decorating TIPS & TRICKS

We all have a budget, and it's so hard to stick to it. Today we're talking about how to not blow your budget, and we've got some of our favorite tips to share. Staying on budget means that you need to think about the long haul, and not about instant gratification. Sometimes you have to wait for that special thing. Don't fall into the trap of buying filler pieces that you don't don't really like. It's okay to have empty spaces in your home. Be sure you know what items cost, then you'll know it when you see a good price. We've done a few other episodes on budget decorating that you can find below.

Two Styles To Know - what & how

Have you heard of grandmilleniel style? Pretty sure you have heard of the new modern farmhouse style.

Best of: Top Pinterest Trends 2019

We are continuing our 'Best of' series this summer, sharing some of the most popular episodes with you. Today we're talking about Pinterest trends 2019. Pinterest is a fabulous source for all sorts of inspiration, especially of the home decor kind. It is a positive force on the internet and a giant search engine with beautiful answers. Today we are exploring the 2019 Top Trends on Pinterest based on user searches. Ok.... Pinterest Trends: Call it rebel yellow, saffron or mustard - by any name this sort of yellow is cutting a niche for itself this year. Kelly uses it as her pop color and loves it. Anita maybe not so much... ;) See this color in action in Kelly's living room. Click HERE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0hZg5QDMjY). Sleek fireplaces are very much on people's minds. We give you lots of ideas on how to update yours to get on board with this look. Kelly loved the modern sleek fireplace when she was invited to visit the HGTV Dream House in Gig Harbor. Have a look HERE (https://mysoulfulhome.com/hgtv-dream-home-tour/). Fireplace glass is an easy way to update any gas fireplace. Just remove the faux logs. Create a base with sand and top with several pounds of glass pieces in any color you love. Get fireplace glass HERE (https://amzn.to/2KbPk1A). Textile art - more than your grandma's macrame plant hanger. Geometric wall art - our thoughts, must be an easier way to get this look than hand painting it. Tin ceiling tiles are coming back strong. You can find these tiles HERE (https://amzn.to/2I6208i). It is jungle out there ~ or really IN here. At least that is what it seems from the Pinterest searches for decorating with house plants. Greenery is up big. Get some plants - always in style and they clean your air. Painted tile or linoleum see the post linked HERE (https://mysoulfulhome.com/modern-farmhouse-laundry-room/). Wallpaper as we know, is stuck like glue to the top trends board. Way to double down on the Pinterest trends. Kelly just installed this paintable paper in her girls' bathroom that looks like ceiling tile! Click HERE (https://www.grahambrown.com/us/small-squares-wallpaper/12011-master.html#prefn1=DesignStyle&prefv1=Tile&start=3&cgid=wallpaper-collection-paintable) And she loves this black background rose print wallpaper.

No more green hair with green plants in your pool! Anita's crush tends to the practical today. Pill pockets for your pooch. Get some HERE (https://amzn.to/2WYPnj5).

Lessons For A Truly Timeless Room

We all want a timeless look that will look fantastic for a long time, so today let's talk about what you can do to create a look that transcends time. One of the best tips is to avoid trends that can date your home. If something is super hot and super popular today, it probably won't stand the test of time. We suggest you hone your very own signature style that you love. Then you buy things that are you, rather than things that are 'on trend'. This is change in mindset that helps keep your style more classic and less trendy. Listen in for many more tips for a timeless look. We mentioned the wall art episode. You can listen to it HERE (https://www.decoratingtipsandtricks.com/315) Workman's friend moisturizer and skin barrier protection. See it HERE (https://workmansfriendbrand.com/collections/workmans-friend/products/barrier-skin-cream?variant=16212035305574).

How Not To Blow Your Decor Budget

We all have a budget, and it's so hard to stick to it. Today we're talking about how to not blow your budget, and we've got some of our favorite tips to share. Staying on budget means that you need to think about the long haul, and not about instant gratification. Sometimes you have to wait for that special thing. Don't fall into the trap of buying filler pieces that you don't don't really like. It's okay to have empty spaces in your home. Be sure you know what items cost, then you'll know it when you see a good price. We've done a few other episodes on budget decorating that you can find below.

Create Your Signature Color Palette

We've talked about creating your own signature style HERE (https://www.decoratingtipsandtricks.com/328) But you know what's just as important? We think it's developing your own signature color palette. It's important to decide what colors you want to use. Limiting these colors to your signature ones, will help your home to feel cohesive. It helps when you want to move things from one room to another, and it makes it easier when you are shopping for decor. Try to stick to 3-5 colors for your palette. We mentioned the episode about china cabinets.

Two Decor Pieces to Love Again

There are two pieces that you CAN love again! Today we are talking about refreshing china cabinets and light fixtures. We have so many terrific ideas to update these decor pieces to give them new life. This episode was inspired by Donna M. Thanks Donna - great episode idea!

Top Pinterest Trends 2019

Pinterest is a fabulous source for all sorts of inspiration, especially of the home decor kind. It is a positive force on the internet and a giant search engine with beautiful answers. Today we are exploring the 2019 Top Trends on Pinterest based on user searches. Ok.... Pinterest Trends: Call it rebel yellow, saffron or mustard - by any name this sort of yellow is cutting a niche for itself this year. Kelly uses it as her pop color and loves it. Anita maybe not so much... ;) See this color in action in Kelly's living room. Click HERE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0hZg5QDMjY). Sleek fireplaces are very much on people's minds. We give you lots of ideas on how to update yours to get on board with this look. Kelly loved the modern sleek fireplace when she was invited to visit the HGTV Dream House in Gig Harbor. Have a look HERE (https://mysoulfulhome.com/hgtv-dream-home-tour/). Fireplace glass is an easy way to update any gas fireplace. Just remove the faux logs. Create a base with sand and top with several pounds of glass pieces in any color you love. Get fireplace glass HERE (https://amzn.to/2KbPk1A). Textile art - more than your grandma's macrame plant hanger. Geometric wall art - our thoughts, must be an easier way to get this look than hand painting it. Tin ceiling tiles are coming back strong. You can find these tiles HERE (https://amzn.to/2I6208i). Low care and trendy - the cactus is coming on strong. Speaking of cactus, Kelly's crush is from the Cactus Lounge Boutique. These yummy slides are now Kelly's "house shoes". Get a pair at under $20 you will be so happy you did! It is jungle out there ~ or really IN here. At least that is what it seems from the Pinterest searches for decorating with house plants. Greenery is up big. Get some plants - always in style and they clean your air. Painted tile or linoleum see the post linked HERE (https://mysoulfulhome.com/modern-farmhouse-laundry-room/). Wallpaper as we know, is stuck like glue to the top trends board. Way to double down on the Pinterest trends. Kelly just installed this paintable paper in her girls' bathroom that looks like ceiling tile! Click HERE (https://www.grahambrown.com/us/small-squares-wallpaper/12011-master.html#prefn1=DesignStyle&prefv1=Tile&start=3&cgid=wallpaper-collection-paintable) And she loves this black background rose print wallpaper. Click HERE (https://www.homedepot.com/p/Magnolia-Home-by-Joanna-Gaines-56-sq-ft-Tea-Rose-Wallpaper-ME1533/304915626?MERCH=REC-_-PIPHorizontal2_rr-_-301440020-_-304915626-_-N) Dive into the natural pool trend. No more green hair with green plants in your pool! Anita's crush tends to the practical today. Pill pockets for your pooch. Get some HERE (https://amzn.to/2WYPnj5).

Trends That Have Lost Their Tread

What Trends are Done? Let's talk about the trends that are over. Remember when buying trendy decor, it's best to not spend too much on home decor trends. If it's super hot today, then it will be out in a few years. You don't want to be ripping out your kitchen counter top every 5 years or even your sofa. We suggest going with classics for your big ticket items, then buy inexpensive items that are on trend, so it's not a large amount of money. Then when the trend is over, you won't be sad. We're seeing ikat and trellis fabric going good-bye. Accent walls, macrame, cherry cabinets and inexpensive reproduction farmhouse decor is all out. If you have something that is on the 'out' list, but you still love it, then keep it. Don't feel like you have to stay current with trends, if that doesn't work for you.

Collecting - How to Do it Right

Yes, it's really our 300th episode. Wow, how time flies. Are you a collector? Do you have a passion for dishes, or linens or something else? Let's talk about how to collect without becoming a hoarder. What are the do's and don'ts of collecting? First, try to curate your collections so that you just have your favorite pieces, the best of the best. You don't need a hundred items to make it a curated collection. Next try to do a write up on the items for future generations. Why are you collecting the items? What is their importance to you or your family?  Make a note of anything of a large monetary value so your family will know.  If you suspect your collection is worth a lot of money, have it appraised, then consider securing a rider on your insurance policy for the items, so they will be covered in case of loss. We also encourage people to display their items and if possible, use them. I collect dishes, and I try to use them often. Boxing things and putting them in the attic is not a good way to enjoy them.

Urge to Purge?

Let's declutter and get our homes ready for the new year.  If you want to feel more peaceful and you're ready to clear out the extra stuff, then this is your episode. Firstly, please find someone to give your discards to. If you have old towels or blankets, check with your local humane society to see if they will take them. We try to give away the things that someone else might want, to minimize things going into a landfill. Secondly try to do a declutter at least once a year. If you don't the job will become too overwhelming and you won't even want to start it. Put like things together, that way you'll be able to find things and know where everything is. Now you will be less likely to accidentally buy something you already have. If you find you have 500 envelopes (like I did) give them away. Who needs that many envelopes these days? I just did a major declutter in my home and it feel so good to be able to find things now. We're doing a 10 day declutter challenge, so if you want to join us, send us an email letting us know you want to be included. You'll get an email each day of the challenge encouraging as we purge together.

Decor Trends 2019 - Our Analysis

Get excited because today we're talking all about the Decorating trends for 2019. We're discussing the trends we're seeing, what's in, what's out, and our take on the whole thing. For example, floral wallpaper and fabric is coming in along with patterned back-splashes. Vessel sinks will stay in. Dark painted kitchen cabinets are hot now, along with 4 poster beds. Kelly is excited that she got a subscription to Master Class as a Christmas gift HERE (https://www.masterclass.com/) (contains affiliate links) Anita's favorite gift was a set of air pods HERE (https://amzn.to/2SK30ka) All white rooms are out, along with rose gold accessories. As always we say, proceed with caution when it comes to trends. What goes up, must come down, so if it's trendy now, it won't be in 5 years.  We suggest sticking to classics when it comes to big ticket items like tile, sofas, and counter-tops. If you want to add something trendy to your home, try adding inexpensive accents that you can give away when the trend is over.

Wireless is a Lie

Wires & the technology that the wires support are part of our lives. The concept of wireless is fantasy. Even the "wireless" phones, gadgets and more that claim to be wireless are not.

I wireless high 5 to Darcy !! Thanks for this great epiosde idea. We hope our thoughts help you & anyone else who is tangled up in cords. Try flexible moulding to conceal the the wires. Check it out HERE (https://amzn.to/2LUH2Z7). Keep all devices in need of charging in one room, like an office or create an enclosed charging station. Listen in for an idea on how to do this. Get a collective charging device for iphone, airpods & Apple watch. Kelly has this one from OLEBR HERE (https://amzn.to/2CS7a4f). Television wires - try painting the wall your tv hangs on black. Check it out on Pinterest - looks really cool. Or paint the wires that are exposed to match your existing wall color. Plug molds are the bomb for hiding wires. This one even has USB outlets. Check them out HERE (https://amzn.to/2AzbcNn). Circular holes in desks so wires can slide through and down to an outlet. Cable clip organizers. These look great to prevent grasping for fallen wires. See HERE (https://amzn.to/2CTZ2QD). Cord Tacos - super cute for controlling wires especially for travel. Could also make your own. Look at them HERE (https://amzn.to/2LVGsuf). Rolled jewelry organizers can be a great place to keep your wires tangle free. HERE (https://amzn.to/2C2IcNV) is a cute one. And here is one made just for devices, wires & chargers.

It's A Wrap - Gorgeous Gift Wrapping Ideas

Brown paper packages wrapped up with string. These are a few of my favorite things. We both agree simplier is better for wrapping gifts. We suggest using kraft paper or plain white wrapping paper with bakers twine or a simple ribbon bow. If you want more color, go with a simple two color paper, or go with tone on tone.

Liven it Up - Living Room Decor Tips

Living large in the living room ! This has nothing to do with size, but how you outfit this room for function, comfort & style. See yours with new eyes today. That new perspective, coupled with our help may just make this your favorite room in your house. This is the perfect time of the year to re-examine, re-think and maybe even re-arrange your living room. After all many people only enter the living room for holidays & with company. ( funny that it is called the living room - maybe more the ocassional room for some! ) . So with the holidays heading our way soon let's get living large in the living room. Head on into yours with a fresh set of eyes. Remove what doesn't move you. Like Kelly says, "if it doesn't move you - move it". Someplace else or out for donation, consignment or gifting. With the unloved out of the way think about the funcationalty of the room. Are there clear paths of traffic? Are there spots where conversation can be comfortably had? If not, make changes in the positioning of the furniture. If you don't, but want to use your living room more, think of ways to make it a multi-tasking room. A game table or reading nook are lovely ideas. A pool table, not so much ;) Break up matching furniture sets and / or too much of the same patterned fabrics. Add something round. Round is a wonderful shape to add to a room that traditionally has a lot of rectangles and squares. It is an organic, calming shape that might just be the thing to take your living room to the next level of lovely!

If you don't, then you are probably going to buy things that don't work with your style. It may not have a cohesive look. Check out our tIps for figuring out what you decorating style is HERE (https://www.decoratingtipsandtricks.com/2) Some of the most common blunders are hanging artwork too high, choosing a rug that is too small and buying curtains that are not full enough.

Why and How to Hire A Designer

If you listen to Decorating Tips & Tricks YOU ARE A DESIGNER! Even great designers need some extra help sometimes. If you find yourself in need of some help with your overall project, specific advice on decorating choices or simply another opinion on your space, you may decide to hire a decorator. Listen in for all our thoughts on this topic. Here are 7 questions we think you should ask anyone you are considering hiring for the all important job of your designer. How do you decide what projects are a good fit for you? Do you welcome client involvement, or do you prefer clients to be hands off? What elements define your own style and where do you find inspiration? What do you find most challenging about designing a home? What is your project management style? Give an example of a design mistake you made & how you handled it? How do you prioritize a design project? These are fair questions to ask a potential design hire. If answered honestly these questions will give you real insight into the person's style and how they handle a project. With that knowledge you can decide if you want to work with them on what is a very personal project ~ your home. Thinking of being your own general contractor and/or designer?

Episode 253: Eco Friendly Design and Decor

Today's episode is all about making your home eco-friendly. It's all about being friendly to the environment and to yourself. Use products that are energy efficient and also consider minimizing toxins in your home. It's all good. We had some technical difficulties with this episode, so we apologize for the poor quality. When buying furniture, think about buying products that are made from sustainable wood. Avoid carpet that off-gases for a long time.

What You Need In Your Decor Arsenal

Decorating beautifully is a lot easier if you have a few essentials on hand. This way you can whip up a vignette in a few minutes, transform a room with pops of color & texture or add seasonal touches without it taking hours & involving lugging bins. Listen in to get our thoughts on creating your own decor arsenal. Here is a list of items we think you should have on hand to make your home a place of beauty without much effort. You do not need closets or bins full of decorative items. Just a few wisely chosen versatile decor pieces will do the trick. Throws add texture & color for not too much of an investment. Use different weight for the various seasons. Think how vibrant plaid throw would change a room for the holidays or a neutral linen throw for hot summer days. Have two or three throws in your closet and change them up. Candles - Kelly's mom swears by these & so does Yvonne Luminara Flameless Candles (https://amzn.to/2MXTqKN). Plate hangers - have them on hand for when the mood strikes you! Adhesive Plate Hangers (https://amzn.to/2BVMdXB). Runners not table cloths for added texture and to ground your table decor. Vases of different sizes & heights. White pitchers - they go it solo and are perfect to hold kitchen essentials and of course, flowers. Depending on the design they go with every look from country to urban chic. White Pitcher (https://amzn.to/2BWdCIL). Decorative balls - willow, moss, burlap, boxwood. Get a set of 3 at the minimum. Willow Balls (https://amzn.to/2BRJHl7). Trays - silver, wood, wicker, lucite, any material will do. Use as the foundation of your vignettes. Inexpensive Silver Tray (https://amzn.to/2BWdPM3). Baskets - all types, especially a trio of lidded sequentially sized baskets. Great to add height, stack on the floor and for secret storage. Books - decor books or vintage books. Stack, use as risers or more conventional vertical on a shelf. Yvonne likes to cover her book in Burlap. Learn how HERE (http://www.stonegableblog.com/how-to-cover-a-book-with-burlap/). With these items on hand you can make some decorating magic! Need help with your home? We'd love to help! We do personalized consults, and we'll offer advice specific to your room that typically includes room layout ideas, suggestions for what the room needs, and how to pull the room together.

How To Make A Small Room Live Large

Do you have a small area in your home that is hard to decorate? Don't worry about it... we have lots of great ideas to live large in a small room! We all have spaces in our homes that are smaller and sometimes these are the most challenging to decorate! What room in your house needs to live larger! Here's the first rule of small space decorating... KEEP IT SIMPLE! Remember to take pictures of your room as you style it. Pictures don't lie! If you have a small bedroom think about installing a Murphy bed. You can have all those extra space to live in and pull down your bed when you go to sleep. Think about keeping your walls light and your color palette light.  Unifying a room with color is a great way to make a space look larger. Infuse lots of texture into a small room when you use a light color palette. Pull the furniture away from the walls. Just a tad. Doing this will give the illusion of space. Let a room breathe! Don't decorate every space!   Be very aware of keeping decor simple. Keep windows very minimally dressed, or even keep window free of fabric. Think about smart storage solutions. In a small room, light becomes important. Pay attention to brightening up your small space with light. Furniture with less visual weight works better in a small area. Keep your furniture leggy! Things that are skirted might look to heavy in a smaller area. Use your closet wisely. How about taking off the door of your closet and make a bookshelf or a desk. Add things like molding, a high shelf or curtains hung high will help the eye move up. Remember our eyes like to look around a room and if we can draw our eyes up to something in a room our mind's perceive this as "larger". Add a mirror to a small room.  Don't add tiny art. Even in a small room, it will get lost. Go bigger. Smaller things may look cluttered. Keep your small space uncluttered! And keep it neat! Think about the "cantaloupe rule" ... don't have anything in your space smaller than a cantaloupe. Pretty good advice! Scale furniture to your room. Larger furniture with less visual weight.  YOU CAN HAVE A BEAUTIFUL SMALL ROOM! Need help with your home? We'd love to help! We do personalized consults, and we'll offer advice specific to your room that typically includes room layout ideas, suggestions for what the room needs, and how to pull the room together. We'll also help you to decide what isn't working for you. We work with any budget, large or small.

Rules For a White Kitchen

We three have white kitchens. Each one is very different from the other, yet there are certain guiding principles when deigning & decorating a white kitchen that we agree on ~ well, for the most part anyway! Top tip - remember white is white is not white... Not all whites are really WHITE, so not all whites look great together. Chose hard surfaces first, tile, countertops, then choose paint. Much easier to find a paint to go with those other choices than the other way around. Warm up a white kitchen with wood tones. Too much stark white can read sterile in a bad way. Sterile stuff in kicthen is nice, but not sterile in feel. Resist the urge to decorate above the cabinets. If at all possible have cabinets or crown moulding go all the way to the ceiling. Add texture & interest with a planked wall or ceiling like Kelly has done. White is a classic and will always be in style for kitchen design. Have a look at our white kitchens... Take a video tour of Kelly's HERE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5iPrR0ujTs&t=283s). Visit Yvonne's kitchen HERE (http://www.stonegableblog.com/brighten-kitchen-white/). And Anita's HERE (https://cedarhillfarmhouse.com/cedar-hill-ranch-kitchen-tour-and/). All white - all different - get ideas from each one for your own. Need help with your home? We'd love to help!

The Magic of Mirrors in Decor

Mirror mirror on the wall... well, you know the rest. But what you might not know is that a mirror is a wonderful & essential decor element to have in almost any room. Today we are sharing great tips to help you maximize the mirrors in your home. Mirrors can make a room look bigger, can reflect the beauty of a room and beyond and can add lots of light to a room. The most common room in a house a mirror is hung is in the bathroom, but we think mirrors belong in every room. Hang an empty frame over a large mirror. Pretty effect! The placement of a mirror in a room is very important! To bring light into a room hang a mirror opposite a window. We are a participant in the affiliate programs like Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites. A large mirror becomes a signature piece in a room. Huge mirrors look gorgeous leaning against the wall. Make sure to use something to fasten it to the wall. Such as a french cleat HERE (https://amzn.to/2NLEyvW) Anita's favorite mirror styles are Louis Phillipe. You needn't get an original there are many great reproductions! Don't just think rectangle when you think mirrors. There are so many other shapes to choose from. Yvonne likes round mirrors in her house. Don't forget about the frame of a mirror. Choose frames that have gorgeous frames. They become "art" and can have tons of texture! If you find a gorgeous frame restore it and have a glass company put a mirror in. Make it one-of-a-kind. See our favorite 3 Piece Grand Palais Mirror HERE (https://www.ballarddesigns.com/3-piece-grand-palais-mirror/decor-more/mirrors/all-mirrors/274157?prank=2" target=) Mirrors look fabulous at the end of a long hallway or a landing of a stair. Here's a fun idea... add honeycomb shaped mirrored tiles to create a ceiling medallion for a chandelier A grouping of small mirrors together is a great way to fill up a space. A long mirror hung low behind a nightstand is a pretty way to reflect night stand lamp light. Don't pass up mirrored furniture. They look gorgeous in a room that is not too busy.

Laundry Room Decor

Could your laundry room use a little facelift? Do you dread going in to do your laundry? Well, today we are going to change that! Let's talk about gorgeous laundry rooms that we aspire to! Today there is a big, big trend toward front load washers. Many front load washer and dryers have sit on a shelf with a drawer. So nice not to bend over to load and unload. Kelly has a fabulous washer and dryer, Miele. Check them out! They are amazing! Baskets are a great way to store items in a family room! Baskets also bring a lot of texture into a laundry room. See Yvonne's Functional and Fabulous Laundry Room reveal HERE (http://www.stonegableblog.com/functional-fabulous-laundry-room-reveal/) See Kelly's Laundry Room Mood Board HERE (http://mysoulfulhome.com/laundry-room-mood-board/) If you don't have a table to fold laundry think about getting a fold-down table that sits parallel with the wall and then drops down. A drying rack hanging on the wall is a fabulous thing to have in a laundry room. See Yvonne's favorite HERE (https://rstyle.me/n/c68xxrb6by7) Be careful if you hang things in your laundry room that it doesn't become a closet of sorts. Put things away! Anita has a drain in her laundry room... so smart! A big glass jar to put clothespins or laundry detergent in is so charming. See Yvonne's favorite HERE (https://rstyle.me/~ayT0J) We all think that a place for a dog is a nice idea. How about putting in a dog wash station? Look on Pinterest for some great dog washing stations. If you have space in your laundry room put a utility sink with a faucet with a spray nozzle. You might need one if you paint or have animals. You might like a laundry basket on wheels. See a great one HERE (https://rstyle.me/~aySZW" target=) See Yvonne's 10 Best Items To Have In a Laundry Room HERE (http://www.stonegableblog.com/10-best-items-laundry-room/) See Yvonne's Best Dryer Balls DIY HERE (http://www.stonegableblog.com/easy-make-dryer-balls/) Kelly uses a dresser in her laundry room and assigns a drawer to each family member to pick up their items. What do you think listening friends, rug or no rug in the laundry room? Let us know! Laundry rooms are so devoid of texture and purposefully think about how to bring more texture in. Because a laundry room is usually small use all the space available. Go vertical! Think about adding art! Steal Canvas makes industrial looking laundry basket. Check them out HERE (https://www.steelecanvas.com/) There's always room for a little plant.

Decorating With Succulents

One of the easiest and prettiest ways to add a pop of organic life to your home is with a plant. And one of the easiest plants to keep alive and thrive is a succulent. So it's only common sense you should try a bit of succulent beauty in your home! You can get both real and faux succulents and they are very inexpensive!  Succulents make great party gifts or hostess gifts! Adorable! See Kelly's SUCCULENT 101 HERE (http://mysoulfulhome.com/succulents-a-101-guide/) Have you seen the GORGEOUS succulent bridal bouquets! See some HERE (https://www.pinterest.com/pin/204702745536130765/) and HERE (https://www.pinterest.com/pin/70650287883130701/) So what is a succulent? They are not cacti. But a broad range of plants that have cells that retain water. So succulents don't need to be watered as often. Succulents do not have spiky spines. Succulents are fabulous for indoor decorating. See a fun fall succulent project HERE (http://www.stonegableblog.com/succulent-top-pumpkins-3/) and HERE (http://www.stonegableblog.com/mini-succulent-topped-pumpkins/) Best pot for a succulent is a clay pot. And use a special soil mix for your succulent. Plant succulents in kitschy and vintage items. Kelly planted her's in a vintage sifter HERE (http://mysoulfulhome.com/succulents-sifter/) See Yvonne's succulents planted in a colander HERE (http://www.stonegableblog.com/how-to-plant-succulents/) Please be gentle with succulents. Because they are so water-filled their leaves break easily. To see how to care for them go HERE (http://www.stonegableblog.com/succulents-care-of-trendy-plant/) Here's a succulent propagation and overview: Choose a nice leave and pluck it off. Put your leaves on a dish and let the broken end callous a bit. This should take a few days. Then fill the saucer with cacti/succulent potting soil and lay the succulent leaves on top of the soil vertically. DO NOT PLANT THEM IN THE SOIL. Water minimally.  In a few weeks, tiny roots will begin to appear and a tiny plant will grow out of the leaf. Then the "mother leaf" will wither and die. Plant the new succulent in cacti/succulent soil and watch it grow! Succulents are fabulous juxtaposed to something more elegant. Think about succulent and silver! Succulents look amazing in anything white. DTT is in the fall edition of COUNTRY SAMPLER FARMHOUSE STYLE MAGAZINE. Make sure to pick up your copy! We are peppered through it this fall!

How To Shop For Home Decor Without Getting Overwhelmed

Are you overwhelmed when you shop for home decor? Are there too many options? Too many places to look? Just too many moving parts to shopping for things for your home!!! We feel you and understand. And we also have a strategy for you to be able to shop and find the things you love for your home. And enjoy the process. Ready? Let’s get to it… If you go shopping for things for your home in bigger online stores make sure to put the FILTERS to good use. And you should use the “filter” principle no matter where you shop. The more you have decided BEFORE you go shopping the easier your shopping trip will be. Let's say you are shopping for a coffee table. Know the measurements of the space you are going to put it in. Know the shape of the table you want. Have an idea of the material you are looking for. Then you can go into a shopping experience and only look for those specific things! Filter out the thousand other choices! Don't doubt yourself. Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever does!!!!! Be fearless! Don't be afraid to try new things! Look for home decor items that speak to you. Then look at the price. Price is certainly a consideration. We all have budgets but love something first! Always do your homework before you shop. This will help you avoid the "I love everything too much" syndrome! KNOW YOUR STYLE!!!! You can see a post to help you know your style HERE (http://www.stonegableblog.com/how-to-know-your-decorating-style/) Listen to our KNOW YOUR STYLE Decorating Tips And Tricks episode 2 HERE (http://www.decoratingtipsandtricks.com/2) Do not purchase a big ticket item when you are in the I-just-want-to-get-something-new-for-my-house mood! You will not make the right choice! If you are in the "thick of the hunt" and are getting totally overwhelmed... stop! Leave and get a cup of coffee and a little nosh. Get your blood pressure back to normal! And take 15 minutes to regroup. Then head back to shop for your home! You don't have to go home defeated! Shop our homes if you like our styles! We are so happy to share where we found items. If you are not a big shopper, upscale what you have. You can paint and "find a guy" who can slipcover or reupholster what you have. And this works for finding vintage pieces too! Get out of the store aisles that don't carry what you are looking for! If you are looking for a three-tiered tray please don't head for the gourmet aisle until you have found that three-tiered tray you are looking for! Be a hunter and not a forager! Need help with your home? We'd love to help! We do personalized consults, and we'll offer advice specific to your room that typically includes room layout ideas, suggestions for what the room needs, and how to pull the room together. We'll also help you to decide what isn't working for you. We work with any budget, large or small.

Decorating with Dishes

Don't let your dishes just sit in your cupboards. Don't you know they are waiting for you to play! Anita, Kelly, and Yvonne say, GET OUT YOUR DISHES AND PLAY!!! We have lots of ways to decorate with dishes. Vintage or new, dishes are made to be seen in every room! HomeGoods is a great source for dishes and especially white dishes and dishware!!!! Vintage shops have BEAUTIFUL, inexpensive china for pennies on the dollar! Make sure you visit your local shops! Yvonne's favorite plates are those on pedestals... white cake pedestals! Oh, be still my heart! You can see some great ways to use cake pedestals HERE (http://www.stonegableblog.com/3-creative-ways-to-use-pedestal-cake-plates/) Like other decor, dishes look best if grouped in a limited color palette!   The more en-mass dishes are the more striking they look! Group or stack like dishes! Platters are a big favorite of ours! Think about using a platter as a tray! What a great look! Glue little metal feet to the bottom of a platter to make a one-of-a-kind tray. Crazing is a naturally occurring process in older dishes. Tiny line appear and actually add to the beauty and patina of dishes. Don't be to show them off! Hang plates and lids etc on the wall. Use hidden hooks. Instead of them being symmetrical on the wall create an asymmetrical design to imitate movement.  Yvonne like DISC plate hooks and you can find them HERE (https://amzn.to/2tyPRjz) You can see the best trick for hanging dishes HERE (https://cedarhillfarmhouse.com/cheapest-way-to-hang-plates/) See Kelly's beautiful pink floral vintage dishes in a charming tablescape HERE (http://mysoulfulhome.com/spring-table-inspiration/) One of Yvonne's favorite uses for dishes is as risers. If you need a little height in a vignette or arrangement pop whatever it is on a stack of dishes!  Instant riser! Use small dishes to corral rings for jewelry, as a soap dish or to dump loose change. Yvonne puts her electric toothbrush on a tiny square butter pat plate. Fun idea! Fill bowls and platters and cake stands with seasonal decor! If a piece of art or a hutch is a little too small to fill the space add dishes to the wall on either side.  Use vintage cups to use as a scoop or a measure. Many vintage cups actually measure 1 cup.  Grab a bunch of silver spoons and put them in a small pitcher and use them as tasting spoons when you cook! We all LOVE dishes and use them every day in decor! How about YOU? Need help with your home? We'd love to help! We do personalized consults, and we'll offer advice specific to your room that typically includes room layout ideas, suggestions for what the room needs, and how to pull the room together.

Steps to Create a Timeless Kitchen

Creating a timeless kitchen is easier than you think. If you are designing a kitchen, think about the elements that are not trendy. Think of things you can add that have been in style for a long time. I like to use white subway tile, white cabinets, with black, white or gray counter-tops. Marble, white granite, gray quartz or quartzite are all classics. If something looks very '2018' then it's won't be in style for the long haul. Be careful about choosing the counter-tops, appliances, and the cabinet style. Avoid the trendy things, since the trendy things will make your kitchen look dated before you know it. The big ticket items are so expensive to replace that you want to choose wisely. We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites Some of Anita's kitchen things can be found at her Amazon affiliate shop HERE (http://Amazon.com/shop/cedarhillfarmhouse) Need help with your home?

The Great Decorating Debate

The next question is... do you "chop" your pillows or not? The 1,000 everyday people asked like the NON chopped look! Some of us are choppers and some not! Staying with the pillow subject ... should the pillows on your sofa match exactly with your sofa? By 65% people did not like the matchy-matchy look?  What would you say? Yvonne says, "Use your eyes to decide what things are more pleasing to you"! THe Article we referenced is HERE. (https://www.arearugs.com/great-decor-debate) Where should you put a sofa? Most people prefer a sofa against the wall. But we love a sofa that can be "floated" if at all possible. What do you think? See our BE BRAVE podcast episode HERE (https://www.decoratingtipsandtricks.com/138) This seems like a no-brainer... what size tv would you like best on a wall? Go big or go home that's what we say! Or you may want to get rid of your tv all together! Go iPad! What is your favorite bedroom color? You would be surprised at the answers! Pink was the most disliked bedroom color. Can you guess the favorite? It was Yvonne's favorite too! Dark charcoal. It looks beautiful. We all agree don't paint a bedroom green. It is not good for any skin color.  Let's now look at the ceilings in your home. What is your favorite color for a ceiling? The most popular color shown to 1,000 people was a saturated blue. Surprise!!!! We think it as because of the decor and colors of the room itself. What did you pick? When hanging a trio of pictures and two were the same size and one was smaller how would you hang it. Most people like the smaller picture in the middle of the two larger pictures. And most people love a tri of pictures rather than one small or two together. It's all about the rule of 3. Symmetry is usually most pleasing to the eye. And bigger is usually better! Here's the most wonderful little gadget to hang pictures perfectly the very first time. See it HERE (https://amzn.to/2JDkgHh) If you were hanging a sofa over the sofa how close to the sofa would you hang it? Another surprise! We like our pictures a little closer to the sofa. Most people liked a large picture almost perfectly between the back of the sofa and the ceiling. We think... way too high! Here's a biggie... let's say you have small-ish windows and need to hang curtains. How high would you hang them and how low will you let them fall? We say hang them as high as you can and let them trouser pleat on the floor or puddle. Need help with your home? We'd love to help!

We have so many tips to share - the bottom line is, YES - mix wood tones. Listen in so you get it right... For example, Anita got it so wrong once she "HAD" to move! To avoid that predicament tune in today! Choose 3 tones to mix.

Easy Ways to Add Character To Your Home

Does your home exude character? Does it have a look all its own? Adding character to your home no matter what style will make your home one in a million! Today let's talk about what we can do to add character to our homes. One way to do add character is to replace the doorknobs and look for vintage ones like crystal. Look for little things to add to your home like a tassel hanging from a doorknob or lamp. Add shutter to the back of your home and replace a solid door with one that has windows.  Add the street address to a transom or sidelights of your door. You can have it painted on or use frosted details. I have the letter "P" on one of the sidelights and it's just a frosted decal. No one is the wiser... until now! Molding is a great thing to add to your home to give it a more custom look! Replace hollow inside doors with great solid wood ones. Add ceiling medallions to your chandeliers. Add planking to your walls or ceilings. Walk around your home and make a list of all the little details you could add to add character to your home. If you have wall to wall carpeting on your stairs you might want to think about ripping it out and painting the stairs or if you have good wood underneath the carpet and add a flat pile runner. Add a french chair Add a statement piece to each room. Find a vintage mantel and fake a fireplace. Update your chandeliers. Paint ceilings a different color. Use vintage corbels as decor in your home You can paint the stair rails and spindles. Yvonne painted her golden oak stair rails high gloss black and the spindles white. Need help with your home?

Why You Should Rearrange Furniture

Do you move the furniture around in your home? Or has almost everything in your home been in the same place for years? Today we are talking about how moving furniture around in your home can give you lots of creativity and breathe new life in your home! Let's talk about the importance of moving furniture around in your home! Yvonne is a big furniture mover! Moving furniture is a cost-free way to get a new look in your home! You can find Furniture Sliders HERE (https://amzn.to/2JeQRCz) There are some very good reasons to move furniture in your home. The sun can really damage your furniture! Also, it's great for cleaning. While the furniture is out... move it! Rearranging your furniture can give you a big psychological boost. Things look fresher and new! Kelly's California take on moving furniture is that it is good for your mental health. We agree with her! Get those creative juices going when you move things around! We all should be looking at our rooms and make sure all the furniture is not up against the walls. It looks like a furniture hold up! Try to "float" a piece of furniture in the room.  Think about your tv. Do you use it? How do you use it? Can you live without it? Do you use your laptop instead? Think about the way you use a room. Is your furniture placement conducive to the activities in that room? Think about the smaller accessories in your rooms. Lamps, pillows, vignettes. Move them around! They are more easily moved around. This is the ultimate shop your house! Laurel Bern is a blogger friend of DTT. She has created a comprehensive 150 page guide which answers all your blogging questions and more. It is called the 6 FIGURE INCOME BLOGGER. Sounds good huh? If you are thinking about starting a blog, been blogging for awhile and want to learn more or even if you are an experienced blogger, this guide will provide you with valuable information.

Know Your Decorating Style

If I asked you, "What is your decorating style" what would you say? It's important to have a very clear idea of your style to be a fabulous home decorator and to help guide you when making purchasing for your home. Don't get stuck or make wrong choices because you cannot clearly define your style. Decorating styles are fluid and our tastes change. But the more clearly you can focus in on the style you love the better decorator you are! Most people have a mix of styles in their home. And that is a good thing!!!! A little mix gives your home personality! You can love lots of different styles but just don't decorate with all of them! It can be very confusing. If you are not happy with your style you should look through magazines, blogs, Pinterest, and go on home tours and find the style you absolutely love!  Four words to remember when thinking about a decorating style... CURATE- you want a purposefully chosen look. Every item you put in your home should fit your decorating story and go with the rest of your home. COHESIVE- strive for a home that looks unified and flows together. No outliers! CONTROL- don't get to crazy when decorating. Control your style... Edit, Edit, Edit! CONFIDENCE- if you decorate with confidence and know your style you can decorate with joy moving forward. Create a private Pinterest board to collect pins of decor you are attracted to. Study those images and see if you can pull out decorating "themes". Make a mood board online. Choose items you would love to put in a room.  Decorative juxtaposition is great and gives lots of interest to a room, but too many juxtaposed styles will look confused.  Please take into consideration the style of your home and the geographic location of your home when decorating!

Something is Missing - How to Figure Out What

SOMETHING IS MISSING?! FIGURE IT OUT!!!!! Do you ever walk into a room in your home and say to yourself, "Something is missing"? But you just don't know what it is. Don't worry we've all said that too! And we want to give you lots of tips and things to think about to solve this problem like Sherlock Holmes! Our best tip is to take a picture of your room. A picture gives us a better perspective of our rooms and can often show us what is "off". Do you have too many little pieces and things in your room? It better to have less and often better to have larger items. Too many things in a room make it look cluttered! Think "larger and less"!  Does everything in your room works together? Give your room a cohesive and curated look. You may have great furnishing but they may not work together! Don't overdecorate! Rooms need "white space" or breathing space to work! Take out some things in a room and rearrange what you are keeping and see how it looks. Another thing to think about is the height of everything in your room. If everything is low or all the same height it will look "off" at best. Use tall art, long curtains and even a tall piece of furniture to help your eye move up around the room. Boo Hoo... make sure your room does not lack your personality! A sad room is a room without a personal touch. Let your style shine! Even the most beautiful furniture showroom looks stark! Share what you collect or add things that tell a story about you! Texture, texture, texture baby!!!! Make sure you have lots and lots of great texture in a room. Kelly loves mirrors and thinks a mirror should grace every room. Balance and symmetry are so important. Make sure the furniture on one side of the room is balanced by the other. Make sure you have a clearly defined focal point. More than one can fight and none at all will look confusing. Layer decor. But don't layer every part of a room. After you layer decor make sure to take one or two things out and see if you like it better! But do layer! Get friendly with Pinterest. Study rooms you love and deconstruct it. Find out what makes you love it and transfer what you love to your room. Need help with your home? We'd love to help! We do personalized consults, and we'll offer advice specific to your room that typically includes room layout ideas, suggestions for what the room needs, and how to pull the room together. We'll also help you to decide what isn't working for you. We work with any budget, large or small.

Summer Trends Outdoor Decor

It's so exciting that the warmer weather is here and summer soon to follow. Do you have an outdoor space to decorate this year? Today we are encouraging you to get outside and live in your outdoor space this summer. How about creating an outdoor room? We have lots of tips for creating and living in trendy outdoor spaces this summer! Outdoor "rooms" are so hot right now! Think of ways to bring the indoor to the outdoors. Think about adding great indoor/outdoor rugs to ground your indoor room. This year outdoor spaces are getting very sophisticated. If your outdoor room has a covered area think about pulling out dressers and tables and chairs! See Anita's beautiful bed in bluebonnets HERE (https://cedarhillfarmhouse.com/ranch-tour/) See Anita's wildflower party HERE (https://cedarhillfarmhouse.com/wildflower-party-table/) There are so many gorgeous choices in outdoor furniture. Think about hanging outdoor lights over an area to make a canopy of lights. Kelly said to string a heavy wire and then put the lights on them. It keeps them from sagging. We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites See Kelly's Amazon shop HERE (https://www.amazon.com/shop/mysoulfulhome) See outdoor lights HERE (https://amzn.to/2rnxbBw) .Mason Jars wrapped with wire hangers and a tea light look beautiful hung in a tree.  See Anita's mason jar lights HERE (https://cedarhillfarmhouse.com/mason-jar-lights/) If you have a porch you might like to hang outdoor curtains. Sheer and drop cloth curtains are nice to use! See Anita's shutters HERE (http://www.customshadeandshutter.com/weatherwell-elite) Put a torchlight in big flower pots on a patio.

Projects You Can Tackle in a Weekend

There are so many great DIY projects that you can do over a weekend. If I can do something in less than a day, I'm much more likely to try to tackle it than something that will take a month. We all love having a video doorbell, and the installation can be done in a few hours.

Habits To Improve Your Decor - Life

We all can use a little bit of sage advice when it comes to improving our lives... and our decor! And we are learning how to best live out these areas of our lives too! So today we have some great tips and tricks for you and for each other! So let's lean in and listen up! I'm channeling your mother and saying... MAKE YOUR BED! A task well done first thing in the morning sets you up for a day of success. You will love this book by Admiral William McCraven, MAKE YOUR BED- Little things that can change your life and maybe the world. See it HERE (https://amzn.to/2vJXHdw) See Yvonne's post HERE (http://www.stonegableblog.com/make-bed-every-morning/) Open your shades and curtains in the am too! Eat breakfast! We do sound like your mother!!!!! Drink warmish water with lemon in the morning too.  As a matter of fact, drink water all day! Use a smaller plate so you won't overeat When things come out of the dryer fold/hang them right away. And put them away!!!!! Nothing haunts me like baskets full of folded laundry on my bedroom floor! Do one load of laundry a day to make your life so much easier! Keep going and do something all the way through. If you only partially do a job you have a bigger mess! Think of different ways to store or decorate things. Look at what you have in it's "best purpose" way! Rearrange your furniture for a fresh new look. Buy an investment decor piece once a year. Rome was not built in a day and neither will a room you love! It takes time and thought. Enjoy the process of change. Don't be in a hurry. A handy cordless vacuum is a great little appliance that will change the way you clean!  See Yvonne's 30 MINUTE CLEANING ROUTINE HERE (http://www.stonegableblog.com/clean-home-30-minutes-day-2/) Go paperless and save time and sanity! See Anita's SECRET TO LOOKING ORGANIZED HERE (https://cedarhillfarmhouse.com/secret-to-looking-organized/) Repetition in a room is easy and it makes a room look so put together!

Transitioning Decor From Spring to Summer

Transitioning decor from one season to the next is such an easy way to decorate! Let's talk about how you can easily transition from spring into summer decor no matter your style! Transitioning from one season to the next is as easy as replacing a spring plant with a bouquet of summer flowers! It's the idea of decorating and just slipping in and out decor. Think about freshening things up for the new season! The summer season lends itself to more pops of color and flowers and plants! Now is the time to put away overtly spring/Easter decor like bunnies, chicks, eggs etc. And bring out decor that lightens up our homes! Have you thought about using TURKISH TOWELS to decorate with this summer? How about using them as a tablecloth, table runner, a throw at the foot of your bed, as a guest towel, a napkin or a placemat and more! Now is also the time to think about changing up your bedding. Make it work for the warmer weather to come. Light layers are a great way to sleep in the summer! This is a great idea! Anita's buying four plants for the outside and each week she is rotating her plants indoors for one week. We hope her plants survive!

Bedroom Trends 2018

We love the new bedroom trends for 2018. It seems solid linens are much more popular than the printed duvets. Wrinkled linen is Hot, hot, hot. And when I say hot, I mean popular, because the linen stays cool to the touch; that's essential for our hot climate. The other big trend is making a bedroom into a sanctuary, whatever that means to you. You can see the elegant look of the girls room that Anita just redid with a French touch HERE (https://cedarhillfarmhouse.com/pink-curtains-for-the-farm-and-giveaway/) Kelly shared making a bedroom a sanctuary HERE (http://mysoulfulhome.com/master-bedroom-inspiration-sanctuary/) Check out the new plans for Yvonne's bedroom HERE (http://www.stonegableblog.com/master-bedroom-plans/) You can see Anita's ruffled duvet cover HERE (https://cedarhillfarmhouse.com/rose-linen-ruffled-duvet/) We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites. affiliate links To see many bed linen options and other things for your bedroom, check out Anita's Amazon page HERE (http://Amazon.com/shop/cedarhillfarmhouse) Need help with your home?

Drinks on Us: Coffee or Cocktail Tables

Cocktail or Coffee Table? What do you call it? No matter what you call it we have lots of great tips and measurement and good ideas for you today! If you have a tape measurer it can help you find the perfect coffee table that will work in your home. Measure the top of the seat height, the length of your sofa and the height of your coffee table. A coffee should be about the seat height of your sofa cushions, about 2/3 the length of your sofa. Leave about 12 - 18 inches between a sofa and a coffee table. Did you know that the moniker "coffee table" came about to put coffee table book on... or whatever they called those books at that time! Take a good look at any room that has a coffee table in it, the coffee table just might be the focal point of the room.

Learn the Secret of Symmetry

Today we are revealing the secret to great design that is hiding in plain sight. Listen in to learn what it is and how to achieve it in your home... Ok, ok...the secret is symmetry! But you still have to listen for all the crucial details!! Symmetry is the secret to a beautiful, pleasing to the eye room. If it's off, then the room will feel off. If you get it right, the room will have a sense of balance. There are 4 types of symmetry - Kelly gives us a thorough lesson on this - so take notes! There are easy ways to achieve symmetry & toss it off a bit for a perfectly imperfect balance! Listen in to learn how. Note the symmetry of Anita's girls' bedroom with the three beds [HERE}(https://cedarhillfarmhouse.com/french-girls-room-reveal/) Check out Anita's symmetrical room HERE (https://cedarhillfarmhouse.com/ways-make-statement-room/) Patricia gave us our Tip of the Day & a confession... Patricia has a black stainless fridge. You know we recently poo-ppo'ed black stainless. But maybe we were too quick to judge as Patricia says the black stainless reads dark gray & mixes really well with her regular stainless steel. So the tip is you might get a deal on those short lived in the spotlight black stainless appliances & they might look just fine mixed in with basic stainless steel. Thx Patricia!!

How to Downsize in Style

Have you ever thought of downsizing? I have! There's no sign that we'll be empty-nesters any time soon, so we can't just yet, but I do think about downsizing at some time.

Craving Color - Best Ways to Add it

Even neutral girls like us crave a bit of color now & again! How about you? Pop of red, blue, pink, green, yellow...perhaps? But how to add it in without taking the space over with color. Add color in large accessories - spray paint a wooden coffee table for a wow of color. How about tossing a colorful throw over the back of your sofa? Kelly loves the idea of painting the ceiling a pop of color - things are looking up ;) Or a surprise pop of color in a closet. Stair raisers can take thing up a notch with color. Need we mention, pillows of course! Collect ceramics or plates in one color and display the en masse. "En masse" rocks in any hue. Go crazy with color in a tiny space, such as a powder room - make it a jewel box of a space.

Tips for a Healthy Home

Oh yeah we want it beautiful, but HEALTHY too! A healthy home is so important not only to avoid germs, but moreover for the functioning of your house. Listen in for lots of great tips & advice. Yvonne uses organic Thieves from Young Living to clean all her surfaces. Have you tried it? Have a look HERE (http://loveofhome.net/how-to-save-money-on-your-spring-cleaning/) to learn all about it. Use only stainless steel or cast iron pots & pans. Non-stick releases fumes & can chip off into your food. Kelly uses this All Clad pan - see HERE (http://amzn.to/2EXxFXS). Add a plant or one every 100 square feet as per Nasa! Try micro-fiber cloths. They hold the dirt rather than pushing it around. Get a set HERE (http://amzn.to/2EFSp6Q). Forego the scented dryer sheets for organic wool dryer balls. Get some HERE (http://amzn.to/2sGdfh5). Or make your own with Yvonne's tutorial. Get the steps HERE (http://www.stonegableblog.com/easy-make-dryer-balls/). Put changing your house filters in your calendar for at least every 6 months - every 3 if you are feeling up to it. Wipe down all door knob, handles, cell phones and any objects that get lots of touches to avoid spreading germs. For a real thorough clean use a mixture of bleach & water. If you succumb to a cold or the flu or just because it is SO good, make a big pot of Yvonne's chicken soup. Get the recipe HERE (http://www.stonegableblog.com/how-to-make-perfect-chicken-noodle-soup/).

We have a question for you. Answer with the first thing that comes to your mind. What is your favorite statement piece in your home? Were you able to answer right away? Or did you have to really think about it? A statement piece is something in a room that draws your eye to it and makes the rest of the room look gorgeous! It can be both bold and obvious or it can be subtle and alluring! Anita likes one "WOW" piece in every room. I love her take on a room's statement! Most home decor enthusiasts make a statement by finding a piece of furnishing both soft or hard and Kelly had a fabulous idea! She suggested that we might want to add one really lovely piece a year to our home. What a great idea! We are not saying uber expensive we are saying a great piece! Although an amazing piece might be more! A statement piece might be a fireplace or a gorgeous hood in the kitchen. Think of architectural pieces too!

Ingenious Ways to Use Hurricanes - Glass Containers

"What a frame is to artwork ~ a cloche is to whatever is in it!" Anita from Cedar Hill Farmhouse. A great way to describe what we are going to be talking about today! Every home decorator should have some of these. What are we talking about today? Really creative, amazing and ingenious ways to use cloches, hurricanes and any glass cylinder! Today we have lots of great ideas for you! A cloche or hurricane or glass cylinder is a decorating staple. They can be filled with candles but don't stop there! There are so many creative things to put them in. Especially lovely to give a nod to the season! Look at second-hand shops to look for hurricanes and other great glass cylinders. Kelly's idea to use a terracotta pot base to work with a glass cylinder is brilliant! Think about what you could put in a large canister or jar! LOVE Anita's idea! We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.

Where to Store Holiday Decor

After the abundance of the holidays your first thought when asked "Where to store holiday decor?" Might be, "THE DUMPSTER"! But nooooo, we love our trees, wreaths, garlands, ornaments, reindeer, angels, tinsel.... and everything else shiny & brite. But for all things there is a time and for all things there is a PLACE. We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites. You can find Anita's velvet ribbon made in France HERE (http://amzn.to/2D5ruQc) We give you great tips on the place for ALL your holiday treasures. And advice on giving the non-treasured things a new home. Listen in! Firstly, purge any Christmas decor that you didn't put out (if it didn't make the cut chances are it won't next year!) - purge any Christmas decor you really don't love ( and we mean LOVE ) and purge any decor that has seen better days. The tired old elf is gonna look even more bedraggled next year! Ok, now you have the cherished & LOVED decor to pack away. Use bins or sturdy boxes. Clear or labeled work best. Kelly suggests creating an "open first" box that contains the items you like to start with so you aren't opening bin after bin looking for a certain item. Kelly & Yvonne both start decorating with their mantles. So their "open first" boxes will contain all the items for the mantle. Get the idea... Organize your bins by area, tree or even color, but do organize them and group 'like' things together. The 'like' can be where they go, the color or type of thing. This makes decorating next year easier & more efficient. If you have artificial trees and no tree bag pick up a pack of these tree bags. Click HERE (http://amzn.to/2mb72Dl) Kelly likes to use large black bins so they contain her long tree topper & picks. Click HERE (http://amzn.to/2DdQtP8) Yvonne likes to use smaller clear boxes so she can see whats inside. Click HERE (http://amzn.to/2mcCelx) Storing a wreath is no problem with these handy circular bags with handles. Click HERE (http://amzn.to/2mdSJh5) Or try a hard plastic container for wreaths with fragile bits. Click HERE (http://amzn.to/2mc9c5G) Good luck getting it all away, but don't stress it. Enjoy your decor for as long or little a time that is right for you! Need help with your home? We'd love to help! We do personalized consults, and we'll offer advice specific to your room that typically includes room layout ideas, suggestions for what the room needs, and how to pull the room together. We'll also help you to decide what isn't working for you. We work with any budget, large or small.

Mixing Contemporary with Traditional

Mixing contemporary style with traditional style is a great way to spruce up your home and update it in a fresh way. Keep in mind that contemporary style is not the same as modern style. Modern style is a specific style that was popular in the 1960's, think Mad Men. Contemporary style is what is sold in stores now.

Get a chandelier with a drum shade like Yvonne's HERE (http://amzn.to/2B3dtTf) If you have contemporary style, add something traditional to give it some zip. Anita suggests a French chair HERE (http://amzn.to/2B2FUka) You can add a contemporary coffee table HERE (http://amzn.to/2kF5BvU) Sisal rugs are great HERE (http://amzn.to/2B49J3A) Try going for a monochromatic look to give a room a contemporary feel.

Step by Step Christmas Tree Decorating

O, CHRISTMAS TREE... O, CHRISTMAS TREE! We all love to decorate a Christmas tree. They may all look different and we may have certain opinions about what goes on a tree and what doesn't. Christmas trees are a very individual thing. Today we are sharing how to make your tree the best from the tree skirt to the star on the top!!!! The most important thing to do with a faux tree is to "fluff" it. Make sure the branches are pulled apart and fluffed up! If you have a live tree make sure to recut the bottom of the tree off. And keep it well watered! Cover your floor before you set up your tree. When you are putting up your tree make sure to wear garden gloves to protect your hands. After you get your tree in its stand the lights come next. Make sure to check the lights to make sure they all work! See the LIGHT KEEP PRO to fix a string of light that don't work. See it HERE (http://amzn.to/2zLIpWf) There is some disagreement about when to put the garland on. Anita does it after the lights. Yvonne and Kelly love twigs and sprays of greens etc to stick in a tree. We all love to put something different on the top of the tree. Anita has an angel, Kelly has a star and Yvonne uses ribbons. We all finish the tree with a tree skirt or a great swath of fabric!

Arranging Bed Pillows like a Pro

ARRANGING BED PILLOWS can be a bit controversial!!! Lots of pillows piled high or only sleeping pillows! Euro pillows or standard pillows? How many decorative pillows? Or do you throw a few pillows on the bed and call it a day? We love bed pillows!!!! Today we are talking about our favorite ways to arrange pillows on our bed. Put a big basket in your bedroom to collect your bed pillows while you are sleeping. We are all fans of Eruo pillows!!!! Euro shams come in various sizes so be careful you know what size they are. Here are sizes for euro shams... standard sizes:  26 x 26... king 36 x 36  Use 2 king size pillows on a queen size bed. They will cover the length of the queen bed.  If you like fluffy pillows use inserts that are one size bigger than the pillow cover. What a difference it will make! Don't forget to add a little throw at the end of the bed to balance the pillows! Here's a secret for a fluffy designer looking duvet, double your duvet insert. It's a little heavy to sleep with but if your duvet is more decorative go for it! It will make your bed look stunning! Use your old curtains and duvet covers and make pillows! You can use a duvet cover without the insert as a bedspread. It looks beautiful!    See Yvonne's LAYERING BEDDING LIKE A DESIGNER. Here is Anita's tutorial for a linen covered bolster pillow.

Decorating Your Dining Room Table

Likely the biggest horizontal surface you have in your house needs decor ~ your dining room table! We have tips, tricks & inspiration for you to create beauty on your table in between family dinners & guests. Bottom line go BIG, but don't miss all the other lines, especially that exclamation by Anita! Take a seat & let's talk dining room table decor... This episode is about making a decor statement on your dining room table when you are not dining. What to put there when your table is 'idle", which for many of us is most of the time. Go big on this large surface, but be mindful of interfering with your light fixture. Kelly likes to go big from side to side. Have a look HERE (http://mysoulfulhome.com/centerpiece-fruit-pears/) for an example of her dining table decor. Yvonne uses a chippy vintage shutter to add charm and to mask a table she had fallen out of love with, but had to keep for a few more years. Listen up mahogany table peeps. See it HERE (http://www.stonegableblog.com/winter-decor-adding-candle-glow-and-shutters/) Kelly loves to use runners on her patina'ed table (scored at a girl scout yard sale by the way!). Our friend Ann at the fabulous blog On Sutton Place, has an easy tutorial for creating a burlap runner with tassels. Have a look HERE (https://www.onsuttonplace.com/diy-burlap-table-runner-with-tassels/) . Thanks Ann!!

Grain sack runners also add homespun charm. This one is a good looking knock off of the real deal. Grain sack runner (http://amzn.to/2iLO73L) Anita loves to decorate with cloches on her dining table. See Anita's cloches in action HERE (https://cedarhillfarmhouse.com/farmhouse-french-friday-tip-14/) Get your own cloche or three HERE (http://amzn.to/2gM9bTy) Or how about a faux dough bowl - well it is real, just not vintage. Have a look HERE (http://amzn.to/2zZwf9O) Let's all have a look at the white dish pans Yvonne talks about. You need to listen to see how they fit in here today.

We love the idea of changing out your summer decor for fall decor slowly because A. that is how it works in nature B. it's a lot of work to do it all on the same day C. in September you aren't ready for pumpkins just yet, but it's a great time to set out pears, apples, acorns and pine-cones. Listen to the episode for our tried and true tips.

Fashion Rules That Apply To Decor

Did you know that many rules of fashion also apply to decor? Surprisingly there is a huge crossover! Let's talk about some today. Limited color palette works for fashion and it works in decor! Patterns should work together. You should wear the dress, the dress should not wear you! And your sofa should not overpower the room. A little faux animal print looks chic and a little faux animal print in decor looks chic too! What is your decor's "black dress"? See Yvonne's post on Find your Decor's Little Black dress HERE (http://www.stonegableblog.com/find-decors-little-black-dress/) Juxtaposition in fashion looks trendy and updated and so it does in decor. Examples: high/low, refined/ rustic We have a fun question for you... Does your home look like what you wear? And the lady in the same black goodwill dress with the coppery hair just may be Kelly!

Pillows, The Secret Decorating Powerhouse

Who doesn't love PILLOWS?!!!! They are like jewelry for your home!  Pillows are an inexpensive way to change the look of a room. They are a home decorator's best friend! Pillows can add different styles to a room. Be aware that pillows can be bought as a pillow cover with a separate insert. Many advantages of pillow covers. Save the inserts. Choose down inserts for indoor use. Great places to find down inserts- Ikea, Pottery Barn, Calico Corner. Don't just think about pillows on the furniture, think about floor pillows for a pretty decor punch! Barb, a blog reader and podcast listener reminds us not to use detergent with phosphorus if we make pillows using fusible webbing. Thanks, Barb! You are the best!!!!

Fixing Home Problem Areas

You don't have to live with areas in your home that you don't love! You can fix them and update them and make them a beautiful space in your home. It does take funds, and time and maybe a lot of elbow grease but it will also make your home a lot more easy to live in! Don't just live with it; fix it! Today we are chatting about areas in our homes we don''t particularly love and are working on! And we are giving sage advice about starting those sometimes daunting home projects! We hope this episode of Decorating Tips And Tricks inspire you to get started!!!! IF YOU FAIL TO PLAN, YOU PLAN TO FAIL!! SAVE, SAVE, SAVE!!!! Have a home fund to save for all home problem. Create a budget and use it as a guideline. This will alleviate so much stress! Do research. Research and read reviews. When choosing a contractor do your homework. Research each contractor.  Hiring a professional is the best way to get a project done if you are not comfortable with the home project you are working on. Get lots of quotes. The cheaper quote is not always the best one. Measure everything and remeasure if you are doing a diy job. Don't beat to fit, paint to match. (LOVE that quote Anita!) Be ready for glitches. They happen. Have a plan B. Don't forget to complete a project. Have an overall plan and systematically attack a room or project until it is DONE! It is so much more satisfying to finish a project than to have it partially done and start another one! Avoid buyer's remorse! Plan, get estimates, and sleep n big decisions.
