Trend Forecast 2023
It's that time again. What's going to be on trend in 2023? What's in? What's out? We've got lots to say today about what we think is going to happen next year in the interior design world.
So many trends hang on for more than one year, while others fizzle out quietly with little more than a whimper after a year. So many things are out this year like shiplap and all gray interiors. Wallpaper is hot, and so much more.

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.
We mentioned the episode about china cabinets. Take a listen if you want to go topless HERE (https://www.decoratingtipsandtricks.com/326)

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.

Fresh Ideas for Summer Decorating
Summertime and the living (and decorating) is easy! There are so many things you can do that are so simple.
Summer decorating might just be more about what you take away than what you add. Remove and store away any items that say winter. That is includes the beloved furry monogolain pillows!
Maybe you take down drapes & let the room bask in even more sunlight.
If you are adding for summer, how about:

No Stress Decorating
If it's isn't fun, you're not doing it right. Decorating is a fun, exciting experience, at least it should be. If it stresses you, then sit down, relax and take a listen.
Don't worry about your house being perfect! Embrace the imperfections and focus on what you love about your house. Reduce clutter, give yourself some grace, and complete those unfinished house projects that are driving you nuts.

STEP 10: BUDGET EVERYTHING
Put your furniture list into a spreadsheet with a total budget amount at the bottom – pick a figure you’re comfortable with that seems reasonable with the amount of things you have to buy. Then, start alloting amounts to each item, keeping in mind what you think each item costs. Change the allotments as needed without changing your bottom line. The bottom line needs to be at your budget or below. Remember to budget at least 20% for unplanned issues, taxes, and delivery.
Your deliverable: A detailed budget spreadsheet

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. Does it need
durable fabrics
multipurpose furniture
pet-friendly rug
extra seating
Is it used for watching TV
Is it used for homework?
it is a home workspace
Do you eat meals in here?

Less Stuff More Style - How to Guide
Is less more? It is so easy to get overwhelmed when buying stuff for your house, then using it to decorate your home. At the same time, you are trying to stay relevant, and on trend, while sticking to a budget and staying true to who you are. It can get very frustrating. Which direction should you go?
A few of the key points from today's episode -
A house overflowing with stuff (even good stuff) can be stressful.
Don't buy stuff just because it's cheap and on trend.
Steer clear of trends unless they really speak to you.
Collect things you love
Don't buy things just because they are the right color.
Don't buy things just because your decor has a 'hole' in it.

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).
Kelly has been using it before working in her garden and after as a moisturizer.
See Workman's Friend in action by watching Kelly's video "Ten Lessons to Make You a Better Gardener" - click HERE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAOjBJdnJho)to watch.
Anita has been using & loves the argon oil Kelly shared HERE (https://amzn.to/2RIcM6W)

How to Create Your Own 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. Take a listen if you want to go topless HERE (https://www.decoratingtipsandtricks.com/326)

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.

Quick & Easy Decor Fresh - best of DTT
Today the show is jam packed with quick & easy decor refreshers!
We hope you are enjoying this extra cozy time at home. Spealing of home, Kelly just released a VIDEO tour of her 2020 Christmas Decor. Click HERE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8zrooyhkJY&t) to tour around Kelly's 1886 Victorian home decked out in traditional red & greens.
After the decorations come down is the perfect time to look at your house with eyes wide open & implement some quick & inexpensive refreshes!
We all get blinded to what is around us as we see it everyday. Look with intention and shake things up a bit for a new fresher look!
Here are some hints regarding what we are suggestiing you freshen up...
You sometimes put your family in them;
It accompanies a harp;
They make you dry;
These add an organic touch, but need tending;
Aren't real and are making a comeback....
Can you guess some of the items we are talking about today?

Anita's crush is this recipe for grain-free chocolate chip cookies.
ALMOND FLOUR CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
1 1/4 cups almond flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter, softened
1/3 cup peanut butter
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and line two large cookie sheet pans with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, add the butter and peanut butter, and beat until creamy. Add the brown sugar, the egg and vanilla to the butter mixture, and beat to combine.
• Add the dry ingredients to the bowl and stir to combine everything. Stir in the chocolate chips. Spoon out 12 portions of the dough onto the baking sheets. Bake for 10 minutes. The cookies are done when the edges start to turn golden brown. As they cool, they will deflate. Let cookies cool for 1-2 minutes on the cookie sheet before moving them to cooling rack.

The Christmas Tree Controversy Discussed - best of DTT

Here's a source for a truly faux gold/platinum tree like the one Kelly puts up in her kitchen. Click HERE (https://www.treetopia.com/colored-artificial-christmas-trees-p/all-glitters-christmas-tree.htm).

Create a Yard that Lives LARGE
Creating a beautiful, inviting outdoor space is always a great idea and now it is essential. No matter the size of your outdoor space you can design it to live large. Take our tips, go outside and make a magical space to enjoy now & all summer long.
Consider the layout of your space & create some designated area.
Create a vista through an arch or gate, add a path & add height to your yard.
Some specific elements/pieces to add are:
An outdoor bed or a hammock. See a classic hammock HERE (https://amzn.to/2Wp30KJ).
Almost any sized space can squeeze in a bistro set. See one we like HERE (https://amzn.to/2WoARUa). Classic lines and in such fun colors!
See Kelly's arbor HERE (https://www.walmart.com/ip/seort/980736028).
Kelly's raised beds can be purchased HERE (https://www.metalgardenbeds.com/).

Add a water or fire element to really enhance your space. Even a tabletop fire bowl adds a lot of atmosphere. See a nice one HERE (https://amzn.to/2WPnyLB).

We have ideas that push the envelope of what might be typically considered ‘romantic’ and those that clearly fall into that category. Each item will add a delightful touch to your home and in turn make you feel wonderful. That sounds pretty romantic doesn’t it? And today isn’t all hearts and flowers, you are going to learn important tips on an item most of us use regularly.
Anita’s picks for adding a touch of romance are:
A velvet duvet from Ballard Designs HERE (https://go.shopyourlikes.com/pi/e642da4bfb3c4a7fae45cce9d28880c8675ec71a?afId=668766&afCreativeId=2994).

Kelly’s picks for adding a touch of Romance are:
Non-toxic candles - listen to learn the 3 things you must know in order to choose candles that are non-toxic. (No-one wants to be in a toxic relationship!)

Down size if that feels right for you. Now is the time to go smaller and make those fewwer square feet absolutely fabulous. Less is definitely more when you can make a smaller home exactly to your liking.
If you are thinking about selling your home, spring time is a great time to put your house on the market, but even better timing, be the first on by getting your house ready to roll in February.
Add a garden room or add several plants to a sunny room in yoru home. Incorporating the natural world into your home is definitely a move to make in 2020.
Remember we talked about the 2020 trend to carve out a dedicated office space in your home. Here are several desks that can fit in small spaces and often do double duty.

Best of: Freshen Up Post Holidays
It's round about the time to start putting away the Christmas decor.
Some feel their homes look bare now, while others love the clean slate, and minimalist look that January brings.
No matter which side of the fence you sit on, we're talking about things you can do to transition your home from the holidays to a winter look.
Greenery, pine cones, cozy touches & metallics work well all thru the winter season.
We participate in the Amazon Associate program so we may receive a small fee if you purchase through our links. This in no way increases the amount you pay. Thanks for shopping through our links.
Wonderful such decor pieces are:
~ preserved boxwood wreaths HERE (https://amzn.to/39s1qfQ);
~ greens cut from your garden or bought in bunches at the market;
~ flameless candles HERE (https://amzn.to/36eMsb2);
~ mercury glass votives HERE (https://amzn.to/35aE4aW);
~ a wintery scented candle HERE (https://amzn.to/2F2rZtT);
~ a winter white 'fur' pillow HERE (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-Gardens-Rosette-Plush-Decorative-Toss-Pillow-22-Ivory/42338382);
~ cozy throws HERE (https://amzn.to/2Q7d7AH)& HERE (https://amzn.to/363LJJv);
The red holiday touches should go, unless red it is part of your year round palette.
Trees, Santas and ornaments need to be stored until next year.
Store them right in tree bags HERE (https://amzn.to/3586539) and ornament boxes HERE. (https://amzn.to/2ZBkTpJ)

Take a picture of the room first. When you look at the photo, you'll notice things you didn't notice standing in the room. And then as you make changes you'll have a before photo. Be sure to take a photo after you make changes too!
Make sure your layout works for your room.

We participate in the Amazon Associate program so we may receive a small fee if you purchase through our links. This in no way increases the amount you pay.
Have you heard of this delicious Italian sweet, fluffy bread/cake? This one is delicious & comes in a lovely pre-wrapped gift. Look HERE (https://amzn.to/36AQtWK).
If you want to make your own Panetone below is is recipe ... but you can't be in a rush - it has to rise 3x!
Panettone recipe HERE (https://www.browneyedbaker.com/panettone-recipe/). Plan ahead this takes time, but well worth the effort!
Anita gives us something to watch while we relish the Panettone, Tiny House World on Amazon Prime.
I took a peak HERE (https://www.amazon.com/Tiny-House-World-Season-1/dp/B0181VJXXE). Some of these houses would be challenged to hold a person and a panettone. So many clever ideas for using space efficiently. Tune in HERE (https://www.amazon.com/Tiny-House-World-Season-1/dp/B0181VJXXE).
We get asked this often so here again is our favorite countertop ( and everything else ) cleaner & shiner. The Original Beeswax. Look for it in the yellow can HERE (https://amzn.to/36zLcyH).

Pick The Right White
Choosing the right white paint can be very daunting. Who knew there were so many different shades of white?
Pay attention to what type of light is coming into the room. Is the room, north, south, east or west facing? Does it get morning or afternoon light? When do you hang out in the room? What colors will be in the room?
There are 4 categories of white paint,
BLUE-WHITE
TRUE WHITE
OFF-WHITE
CREAM
Kelly loves using Samplize HERE (https://samplize.com/) for repositionable paint samples so you can visualize what the paint color will look like in the room.
Here are some of our favorite white paint colors
SW EIDER WHITE
BM WHITE DOVE
FARROW AND BALL CRISP WHITE
SW EXTRA WHTIE
BM SIMPLY WHITE
BM DECORATORS WHITE
CLARE WHIPPED
BM CHANTILLY LACE
BM PAPER WHITE
BM MAYONNAISE
BM OFF WHITE

Anita is thinking about becoming an Air BnB host. We have an episode on just that. Listen HERE (http://www.decoratingtipsandtricks.com/278).
Kelly is so pleased with the growth of her hedges after feeding her plants with THESE (https://amzn.to/2Lvc37o) organic fertilizer stakes.
Awnings are a nice addition to many homes. They provide sun/rain protection and might just be the touch you need. Kinda like an eyebrow on a face. Kelly has researched adding one to the back of her house. She found THIS (https://www.wayfair.com/outdoor/pdp/idm-worldwide-awnings-in-a-box-designer-8-ft-w-x-2-ft-d-retractable-window-awning-idmw1018.html?piid=14122458) one on Wayfair.
Crushes:
Anita is enjoying homemade hibiscus tea.
Anita's recipe is: 1/2 gallon water
3 hibiscus tea bags
3 lemons
pinch of stevia
Brew the tea in 3 cups hot water for 30 minutes. Add remaining water & squeeze in the juice of the lemons. Stir in stevia to taste. Cheers!

Best of: How to be Happier In Your Home
This episode originally ran March 26, 2019. This was a very popular episode and we're delighted to share it with you again.
When we see images on pinterest and instagram, it can be a wonderful inspiration for future projects, we get ideas but there's a dark side to the social media. Sometimes we begin to hate our houses because they don't measure up.
Here are our tips to be content with your home and to make everyday life in your home a joy.
keep your house tidy
keep the clutter at bay
keep it picked up
start some new habits to keep it clean
clutter causes stress - bring every room back to 'ready' make your bed
display some sentimental items or favorite collections around your home
Focus on things you can take with you, if you think you are moving, but there is no need to ignore your home if you are moving.
think about the positives about your home, rather than the negatives. what drew you to it in the first place?
fix the things that are broken
make sure you have a comfortable mattress and seating
add beauty to your every day life. So if that kitchen sponge looks so gross you don't want to touch it, toss it! get a new sponge!
make sure you have some nice things to use for your daily routine
add a special area for relaxing, reading, a cup of tea or listening to music
use essential oils in your home
make your bedroom into a retreat
invite people over, entertain and have fun in your home
start a gratitude journal record a happy memory at the end of each day
don't have a temporary attitude about your home. Make it homey even if you don't plan to stay forever
don't compare your home with the ones you see on Pinterest and Instagram
replace an uncomfortable sofa or mattress

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. 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).

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).
Kelly has been using it before working in her garden and after as a moisturizer.
See Workman's Friend in action by watching Kelly's latest video "Ten Lessons to Make You a Better Gardener" - click HERE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAOjBJdnJho)to watch.
We participate in the Amazon affiliate program, so your purchases may qualify us for a small fee, but in no way does that increase the cost to you.
Anita has been using & loves the argon oil Kelly shared in a previous episode HERE (https://amzn.to/2RIcM6W)

Summer Decorating Tips
Summertime and the decorating is easy...
Easy when you listen to DTT !
Summer decorating might just be more about what you take away than what you add. Remove and store away any items that say winter. That is includes the beloved furry monogolain pillows!
Maybe you take down drapes & let the room bask in even more sunlight.
If you are adding for summer, how about:
A straw hat casually hung on a hook or from a chair back; HERE (https://www.etsy.com/listing/691939942/vintage-straw-floppy-sunhat?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=garden+straw+hat&ref=sr_gallery-1-32&referring_page_type=market&cns=1)

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. Take a listen if you want to go topless HERE (https://www.decoratingtipsandtricks.com/326)
You'll also want to listen to the episode about the color rules HERE (http://www.decoratingtipsandtricks.com/281)

Decorating With House Plants
House plants literally & figuratively breathe life into your decor. They clean the air, fill akward spaces and give height.
Do you have any in your home? Well, you should!
Don't tell us you have a brown thumb. We don't believe in those or green thumbs for that matter. Choose the right plant for the right spot and follow some common sense advice and you'll be growing like a pro!
Add spanish moss to a potted plant for a finished look and to help retain the moisture. Get a bag or two HERE (https://amzn.to/2WqvgdF).
Add a few drops of THRIVE to your watering schedule & your plants will definitely thrive! Get a bottle HERE (https://www.amazon.com/SUPERthrive-VI30148-Plant-Vitamin-Solution/dp/B000OM82J0/ref=sr_1_5?crid=3FRPO0ZCE2X4Y&keywords=thrive+plant+food&qid=1557118962&s=gateway&sprefix=thrive+plant%2Caps%2C246&sr=8-5).
Kelly has an idea to add a shelf for plants under the window sill in her DINING ROOM (https://mysoulfulhome.com/early-fall-dining-room-video-tour-exciting-news/).
Kelly loves these cement pots. Check them out HERE (https://amzn.to/2PQjTsT).
Here is a list of easy to grow house plants:
Peace Lily
Spider Plant
Cast Iron Plant
Pothos
Philodendron
Snake Plant
English Ivy
Shamrock Plant

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).

How to be Happier In Your Home
When we see images on pinterest and instagram, it can be a wonderful inspiration for future projects, we get ideas but there's a dark side to the social media. Sometimes we begin to hate our houses because they don't measure up.
Here are our tips to be content with your home and to make everyday life in your home a joy.
keep your house tidy
keep the clutter at bay
keep it picked up
start some new habits to keep it clean
clutter causes stress - bring every room back to 'ready'
make your bed
display some sentimental items or favorite collections around your home
Focus on things you can take with you, if you think you are moving, but there is no need to ignore your home if you are moving
think about the positives about your home, rather than the negatives. what drew you to it in the first place?
fix the things that are broken
make sure you have a comfortable mattress and seating
add beauty to your every day life. So if that kitchen sponge looks so gross you don't want to touch it, toss it! get a new sponge
make sure you have some nice things to use for your daily routine
add a special area for relaxing, reading, a cup of tea or listening to music
use essential oils in your home
make your bedroom into a retreat
invite people over, entertain and have fun in your home
start a gratitude journal record a happy memory at the end of each day
don't have a temporary attitude about your home. Make it homey even if you don't plan to stay forever
don't compare your home with the ones you see on Pinterest and Instagram
replace an uncomfortable sofa or mattress

New Kitchen Trends 2019
Hands down most used & useful room in the house ~ the kitchen. A great reason to have it organized, up to date and ... BEAUTIFUL.
We dissect the 2019 kitchen trends for you. Tell you what is worth jumping on the band wagon with and what you can let pass by. Also ... ring on the still burning kitchen question ... to open or not! ( excuse the pun! ).
The umbrella trend for kitchens in 2019 is seamless. We talk all about what that might look like for you.
Backsplashes they are not just for above the counter any more.
A white kitchen is still a classic, but we are seeing darker colors in this hub of a room. Listen in to hear how we would use these tones.
A hot, debated trend has died ... find out which one...
Linear lighting is on trend. Pretty and only requires one junction box! ( Good news as electricians are expensive! )
Add a mirror - Kelly's favorite kitchen surprise is now a hot trend.
Watch a VIDEO TOUR of Kelly's kitchen HERE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5iPrR0ujTs&t).

Change your cleaning products to natural toxin free formulas like those produced by Aunt Fannies.
Another toxin free cleaning product is the all purpose concentrate Thieves formula from Young Living. Thieves cleans everything in your house leaving it toxin free & smelling wonderful. We also love the Desert Rose Diffuser that comes with the Young Living Essential Oils starter kit. Have a look HERE (https://www.youngliving.com/vo/#/signup/new-start?sponsorid=3995898&enrollerid=3995898&isocountrycode=US&culture=en-US&type=member) for the Thieves products & the diffuser.

Kelly's favorite easy way to lessen toxins in your home - A NO SHOES INSIDE POLICY. Listen to learn, beyond the obvious why this rule is essential to follow!
Fertilize your lawn & garden with natural products, such as worm castings. Read Kelly's indepth post as to why this fertilizer is the way to grow! Click HERE (https://mysoulfulhome.com/worm-castings-improve-your-garden/).
Decrease the amount of dry cleaning you do and when you must, take the items out of the plastic bag or, ask for no bag, and let air out before you place in your closet.
NO MORE DRYER SHEETS! Use wool dryer balls. Get them HERE (https://amzn.to/2BJq8Jb).

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.

Why Sparking Joy is on Fire
With our DTT Urge to Purge just ended and the KonMari method sweeping the world of clutter today we take a deep dive into the piles & the reason why the tidying tide is high.
Thanks to ALL of you who participated in the URGE to PURGE - wasn't that refreshing in sooo many ways?

What's Up at Our Houses
Time for another "What's Up at our Houses"...
Purging is a hot topic for us this month. Personal purging & hosting the DTT Urge to Purge Challenge. Other stuff includes a life changing event at Kelly's that has nothing to do with decorating. At Anita's house she has embraced the de-cluttering concept with both arms. And she comes ready with lots of great tips on everything from seat covers to slippers.
Speaking of slippers - here is a darling pair in case you are in the market. HERE (https://amzn.to/2MBfB78). You decide "house shoe", slipper, carpet slipper or heck, wear them out of the town! Too cute!!
Kelly is working on her white garden during the 'winter' in Cali. Her plan is based losely on the white garden at Sissinghurst. See HERE.
Anita mentioned a blog post on an Australian garden. See that post HERE (https://cotedetexas.blogspot.com/2019/01/down-under-with-jenny-rose-innes.html).
De-Toxifying our homes has been on our minds and Anita has a new way to clean the water you drink. Try a Berkey water filter. Check them out HERE (https://amzn.to/2Tnjorr).
Someone asked for our blog links. Here you go Cedar Hill Farmhouse (https://cedarhillfarmhouse.com) and My Soulful Home (https://mysoulfulhome.com).
Let us know what is up at YOUR house!
Thanks for ALL of you who have joined in the URGE to PURGE Challenge. We hope you are getting a lot out of it and want to see your purging piles!

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. Our email address is [email protected]

High end appliances are gorgeous powerful machines, but are they for you, your house & budget? We cover the pros & cons, as well as give you some outstanding options to explore to get the look & even the performance for much less.
Not just pretty, high end stoves pack a whollop of BTU's to taking your cooking to the next level. Listen in to learn more ...
In the fridge/freezer departmant it is dual compressors that set high end appliances apart from their lower cost alternatives. Listen in to learn more ....
Cleaning up with a high end diswasher is a quiet affair. If quiet isn't a big concern, you may be able to get the hidden control panel in a lower priced machine. Listen in to learn more ...
Anita came up with a fantastic option to explore if you are dreaming about a super high end European stove. I was blown away when I headed over to look at the stoves made by the company she suggest. Think you will be too. Click HERE (https://www.appliancesconnection.com/hallman.html) to see Hallman stoves.
If you have time & patience you may be able to score high appliances at one of these re-sale sources:
Everything But the House (https://www.ebth.com/).
Renovation Angel (https://renovationangel.com/donate/).
Habitat for Humanity ReStore (https://www.habitat.org/restores).

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. Even 'wireless' things need to be charged. So rather than giving in and putting up with the wireless lie we have solutions for you!
Thanks to Darcy H for her question which inspired this episode. 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. HERE (https://amzn.to/2AzHPKO).

Freshen Up Post Holidays
It's round about the time to start putting away the Christmas decor.
Some feel their homes look bare now, while others love the clean slate, and minimalist look that January brings.
No matter which side of the fence you sit on, we're talking about things you can do to transition from the holidays to a winter look for your decor.
Greenery, pine cones, cozy touches & metallics work well all thru the winter season
Wonderful such decor pieces are:
~ preserved boxwood wreaths HERE (https://amzn.to/39s1qfQ);
~ greens cut from your garden or bought in bunches at the market;
~ flameless candles HERE (https://amzn.to/36eMsb2);
~ mercury glass votives HERE (https://amzn.to/35aE4aW);
~ a wintery scented candle HERE (https://amzn.to/2F2rZtT);
~ a winter white 'fur' pillow HERE (https://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-Gardens-Rosette-Plush-Decorative-Toss-Pillow-22-Ivory/42338382);
~ cozy throws HERE (https://amzn.to/2Q7d7AH)& HERE (https://amzn.to/363LJJv);
The red holiday touches should go, unless red it is part of your year round palette.
Trees, Santas and ornaments need to be stored until next year.
Store them right in tree bags HERE (https://amzn.to/3586539) and ornament boxes HERE. (https://amzn.to/2ZBkTpJ)
Now is the perfect time to pick up a fresh bouquet of Casablanca lilies or white roses.
It is also is also a great time to force some bulbs HERE (https://cedarhillfarmhouse.com/how-to-force-paperwhite-bulbs/)

It is New Years Eve! Exciting!!
Anita and I both prefer a cozy New Year's Eve at home. And since I have the Rose Bowl Parade literally yards from my house, leaving my area tonight is not an option. So making a lovely dinner at home is the call.
If you don't finish your champagne ( call me ;) ) well first try the spoon in the bottle trick.
Today we share our favorite kitchen tools to make doing that for a special occasion or any night easier and more fun.
Anita can't do without her cast iron pan. She educates me and those of you who aren;t yet in the know on how one is seasoned & cared for for the best performance. The heat conduction of cast iron is like no other pan. Get one HERE (https://amzn.to/2RrdLui)
A kitchen scale is a recent addition to my kitchen & I am using it a lot. This one is the one I have, it us inexpensive and works really well. See it HERE (https://amzn.to/2SvUwNI)
These Russell Hobbs retro tea kettles and toasters are FABULOUS!! You must have a look: HERE (https://amzn.to/2AkjXKU) and HERE (https://amzn.to/2BRRHiR).
I did not get an immersion blender in my stocking so I will be ordering this one myself! Get one for your kitchen too HERE (https://amzn.to/2LFCaHi).
Can't do without a good meat themometer. Try this one HERE (https://amzn.to/2s41zl3)
One of my top 3 kitchen 'tools' finishing salt. My favorite is Maldon. Try it - you will love it too! Get a package of Maldon HERE (https://amzn.to/2Svu6eI) and elevate your dishes instantly.
Germ-a-phobs head's up on this - voice activiated trash can a' la Anita HERE (https://amzn.to/2SpyfRv).
Fruit dehydrater HERE (https://amzn.to/2CIdvPu).
Hooked on finishing slat then you need a salt cellar. I love this marble one. See it HERE (https://amzn.to/2RqbmAb).
Stove top smoker sounds interesting. Anita suggests a ceramic one HERE (https://amzn.to/2BPKuQn) and HERE (https://global.rakuten.com/en/store/yminfo/item/10020959/).
Onion glasses, really Anita? Ok - HERE (https://amzn.to/2AnsHji).
All this and more of course ...including a listener question and THE BEST MASCARA I have ever used. ( May as well look great while cooking at home!! )

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. Then match your ribbon to your wrapping paper color.

Today we go over one of these rules, so you know it, understand how to apply it and you know when to hold 'em & when to fold 'em with respect to it. Listen in for the rule, a terrific listener question and a coming together to help request.

Do you know of it? Do you follow it? We dive into the reason for the rule, what it does for your decorating, how you can use it to your advantge and a few ways to tweak it make it your own.

Antiques, Collectibles, Vintage
What is the difference between collectibles, vintage and antiques? Today we're talking about what constitutes an antique or a vintage item, and how you can learn about how old the item is and if it is priced too high or too low.
We love enjoying vintage and antique things in our homes, and we enjoy keeping these things in good condition so they are safe for the next generation. These items are a piece of the past and the workmanship is often unparalleled.

How The French Live Without Decorating
Oh the French ~ they make it all look so divinely effortless. But seemingly effortless style & decor is not only in the realm of the French. Anyone can achieve this look ~ it is more of an approach than a style. But that approach packs a lot of style. Listen in ...
The French apprpoach to decor:
~ embraces imperfection
~ shuns the matchy matchy
~ seeks items with character
~ prizes functionality
~ let's life happen
Listen in to hear how all that comes together in the nonchalant, yet oh so fabulous way we admire.

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!
Here are some fabulous round living room additions you may want to consider:

Decorating Blunders - How to Fix Them
We have all made decorating blunders; some of us have made a lot of them. Because The three of us have made so many blunders, we're well versed in how to fix them. The great news is that most of them can be fixed.
First, be sure you know your decorating style. 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. Often people buy artwork not because it speaks to them, but because it is the right size and color. Avoid a lot of the mass-produced art, and go with art created by an artist you love.

Get Out of Your Decorating Rut
It happens to all of us at one point or another ~ the same old same old.
We are stuck in a decorating rut. Wanting a new fresh look, but not knowing exactly how to change things up for the better.
As always, we have practical actionable advice for you so by this afternoon you will have climbed right out of that decorating rut. Let's get climbing...
Listen in for our sources for decorating inspiration. They are many & varied. Bottom line, as with all of life, mind & eyes wide open gets the best results!
Tip - don't shop for decor until you are fully clear of the rut. Shopping won't help you get out of it, only pile more on so you can't see the way.
Go for it - be bold! Take a chance on what you love whether it be a style, piece of furniture or a color. Life is short, surround yourself with what makes YOUR heart sing.
For those who are wondering, Round Top was fantastic! Thank you to the many podcast listners who took the time to visit us in the booth!! xx .
Listen in for the full round up on Round Top! Kelly is back home, but Anita, since that is her home, is still there. We will be hosting two blogger friends at our booth on Tuesday 10/2 for a book signing. They each have written fantastic books we know you will love.

Stuff to Get Rid of Now: Debated
To keep or not to keep ... that is the question!
There is a price to pay for sentimentality, but what if all your stuff is really worth something one day?
Today we debate the "keepers" - and what can/should be given away.
Bottom line ~ it is a subjective issue. We give you our views and want to hear yours. Send an email with your thoughts!
One thing we can probably all agree on is that we ALL have too much stuff.
Where does the stuff you have rank in importance on the sentimentality scale and/or objective value scale? We weigh in on all of it, from china to toys ~ with lots of laughs in the mix.
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. Find out more HERE (https://www.decoratingtipsandtricks.com/consult)

Decorating With Vaulted Ceilings
Summer, a listener in Oregon, asked us to cover how to deal with vaulted ceilings in her home. If you have an open concept room with a vaulted ceiling, then this episode is for you. Let's talk about what you can do with the ceiling and with the walls.
Anita's mountain house has a vaulted ceiling, so she's been working on plans for her home for awhile. Check out all of the ideas on Pinterest for a vaulted ceiling HERE (https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=Vaulted%20ceiling&rs=typed&term_meta[]=Vaulted%7Ctyped&term_meta[]=ceiling%7Ctyped)
We suggest fewer pieces of art and that you use large scale art for rooms with cathedral ceilings.

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? If so this is a good read for you. Click HERE (https://mysoulfulhome.com/be-your-own-general-contractor/)

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.
We also suggest using natural fibers in your home and avoiding plastics and synthetics.
Think about the cleaning products you use and candles. Are they releasing toxins in the air you breathe?

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!

You want things to go smoothly not only for the project, but also for your relationship. Be sure everyone is on the same page as far as everyone's role in the project, but also the budget and scope of the work.
Being organized is critical. We recommend having a binder for each project, full of photos, and maybe tile or wallpaper samples. Think about how you will communicate the details of the project. Can things be misinterpreted? Think about how you can mistake proof the project. What could go wrong? Think through possible communication errors so you can increase the chances of success for the project.

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!

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...

Diving In - Sofa Cushions
Sofa cushions are very important, since most of us use our sofas on a daily basis. It's important that it be comfortable and look great. The comfort is mostly determined by the type of cushions on the sofa. We're talking about the types of cushions and why you need to do your research before buying a new sofa.

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.

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.

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?

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.

How To Freshen Your Home in 10 Minutes
No, it's not impossible to freshen up your home in 10 minutes. Maybe not the whole house but you will be surprised how much you can get done in just 10 little minutes! Let's get busy and freshen up our home!
Set a timer and race against it!!!!! You can get a whole lot done if you work fast!
A vignette is an easy and quick idea to add to a room! Or switch out things in the vignette!
Get rid of all the magnets and art on your frig. Instant freshen up! Make a bulletin board of kids artwork on a big bulletin board instead.
How about framing kids artwork instead. Display their artwork where they can see it. We also love Chat Books to make little books of art etc of our kid's work!
Clean up a spot in your home! Find a messy spot (we call them hot spots) and clear and clean it off!
Take one thing out of a room. Or add one thing! Take out things you don't like in a room and add only what you love!
Shop your home! Nothing is more refreshing than finding something you already have and finding a new place for it.
If you need a new piece of furniture, shop for it online. You can see Yvonne's favorite funky chair HERE (https://rstyle.me/n/c54skyb6by7)
Rotate your artwork! Or really anything in your home.
Get out your dishes and add them to your decor!
Pick one spot and concentrate on it.
Add flowers to a room.
Harness the "power of three"! A tri of decor items will look amazing!
Go through your stack of mail, magazines etc. Spend 10 minutes getting rid of it!
See how to declutter HERE. (http://www.stonegableblog.com/best-easiest-way-declutter-home/) You can decide how long you want to spend every day! 10, 20, 30 minutes a day accumulates and makes a very organized home!
See Anita's great post about THE SECRET TO LOOKING ORGANIZED HERE (https://cedarhillfarmhouse.com/secret-to-looking-organized/)
Rearrange your pillows in a fresh new way! Chek out Kristy's blog post HERE (http://starfishcottageblog.com/)
Pot a plant in a fun planter. Think about using your fun kitchen bowls.
Make a watering bottle for a plant. It's so pretty and will keep a big plant alive! See it HERE (http://www.stonegableblog.com/hydrangeas-in-planters-and-a-self-watering-stake/)
Add a fun pop of color to your home! See Kelly's HERE (http://mysoulfulhome.com/decorate-with-a-pop-of-color/)
Put a big bowl of seasonal fruit on your kitchen table
Hang a mirror in a room.
Change out the wreath on your front door. Don't neglect your front door! Clean your door and the windows around it. Sweep off your front porch or stoop. Or better yet, hose it down.
How does your front door mat look? Update it or shake it out and sweep all the grime away.
Swap out the small doormat on the inside of your front door.
Listener tip from LeoneW. Take a piece of Formica to fit the base of the cabinet under your sinks. It makes it easy to clean and is waterproof!
Wash your throws. They can get very dirty!

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.

Do's and Don'ts of Mixing Wood Tones
Oh there is A LOT to mixing wood tones and getting it right. No surprise as there is a lot of wood in the world, in the structure of your house and in the decor you choose. 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.
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
Add in black or other painted pieces. Kelly's favorite mat black spray paint is HERE (https://amzn.to/2l2NxMW).
Balance the various tones throughout the room/house.
Don't be matchy- matchy with your wood pieces - add in a rattan side table (https://amzn.to/2t4Hpaz) to break up all the wood. And use sisal/jute rugs.

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.

Best Decor Ideas for Renters
You've been asking and now we are delivering. What are the best ways to decorate a rental? You can't move walls or rip out the kitchen, but it turns out there are a lot of things you can do. And many of these ideas will also work if you own your own home. Think re-position-able wallpaper, replacing pulls and knobs in the kitchen. Add rugs or even paint. Just keep in mind, you might have to paint it back when you move out.

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?

Yes....it is possible!
It is possible to overdecorate. You have heard of too much of a good thing, right?
Learn IF you are and how to stop over decorating.
We say our houses are never DONE, but there is a time to stop decorating...pause, reassess and move on from there. We like to say "complete, but never done".

Yvonne admits to this tendency, but reigns herself in, so can you with our tips!

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.

Setting a Lovely Yet Simple Table
We have a formulas, ideas & inspiration for setting a lovely & simple table every night. This episode is inspired by Jackie W one of our long time listeners who emailed us about this very topic. Thank you Jackie!!
It is easy to elevate your everyday table with our tips. Listen in!
Make it simple to create a lovely table everyday by keeping your key pieces within easy reach. You won't make the effort if it takes too much time, especially on busy week nights. No rummaging through cabinets nightly. Choose a few pieces and keep them handy. These will be the elements in your formula for a simple, but lovely table. Suggestions are a small tray, a set of candle sticks with tapers, pretty salt & pepper shakers or a salt cellar and cloth napkins at the ready, wrinkles are ok!
Layering on the table doesn't have to be complicated to be pretty. Use a runner, placemat or tablecloth for a layer & softness. Stack two plates and place the napkin on the plate. Done!
Always light those candles, even if it is a tiny votive. A single flame changes the atmosphere.
Kelly has a lovely summer table set HERE (https://mysoulfulhome.com/summer-table-decor/).

Decor Tips Learned From Blogging
We've learned so much from our many years of blogging about interior design and decorating. We've experimented a lot and made a lot of mistakes, but that's how you learn. We're sharing the lessons we've learned from blogging, that we hope will help you in your decorating journey.

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.

.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. See them on Yvonne's porch HERE (http://www.stonegableblog.com/patio-reveal-and-giveaway/)
See the anatomy of a flower pot HERE (http://www.stonegableblog.com/anatomy-flower-pot/)
Outdoor furniture should be covered as it will be affected by the elements. If you are not worried about rain or lots of wind try covering the furniture with a drop cloth. Easy- peasy!

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. Here's the video doorbell that Kelly and Anita are currently using (Yvonne just ordered one) HERE (https://amzn.to/2jgn91l)

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!
See Kelly's SEVEN BEST DECORATING TIPS HERE (http://mysoulfulhome.com/seven-best-decorating-tips/)
Invite people over! It will help your life and your decor.
Remember... PEOPLE ARE IMPORTANT THAN THINGS.

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/)

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.
THINK ABOUT THESE 5 THINGS WHEN PICKING OUT A COFFEE TABLE
use/purpose
style
size
material
color/finish
Here are our favorite ideas for creative coffee tables
tray tables
stacking tables
ottoman
garden stools
trunk
basket

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!!

Adding Romance To Your Home
I love a home filled with romance. Adding romance to a home, means adding softness, beauty, feminine touches, and perhaps wonderful scents to a room. It's about adding things that make you feel pampered, for all of your senses.
Things that add romance to a room include sumptuous fabrics like linen and velvet.
Anita says a French chair adds instant romance to any room HERE (https://cedarhillfarmhouse.com/french-chairs-and-where-to-find-them/)

Unique Night Stand Ideas
We have so many outSTANDing night stand ideas for you today! Thinking beyond the traditional, often expensive & dull bedside tables.
...And we have a new feature on DTT that will put the focus on YOU!

Firstly night stand do NOT have to match. Here is one that can definitely stand alone ~ mirror & gold table (https://amzn.to/2J0mEE4)
If you can use sconces over the bed instead of traditional lamps it frees you up to use many of the ideas we have coming at you today. Think about it - could you go sconce?
Did you check out the ones Kelly has from Lamp's Plus at under $100 for the pair? Look HERE (https://www.lampsplus.com/products/wray-bronze-metal-plug-in-wall-lamp-set-of-2__9j647.html).
Yvonne is using a garden stool as a night stand on Bobby's side of the bed. We love this garden stool (https://amzn.to/2GjDHiR)
How about a luggage rack with a tray on top? Check this (https://amzn.to/2pMyj1e) one out.
Anita suggests trying a demilune table - 1/2 round. This one HERE (https://amzn.to/2GzcjRm) even has a drawer.
Kelly loves the idea of nesting tables as night stands. Check out this set of nesting tables (https://amzn.to/2Ia0n5o)
We all love this step ladder idea Kelly saw on Twelve on Main blog. Pop over HERE (https://www.twelveonmain.com/ultimate-farmhouse-master-bedroom-orc-reveal/) to see.
How about a bar cart as a night stand - gives new meaning to the idea of a night cap! Love this bar cart (https://amzn.to/2J1IhUM)
Poofs with storage can be night stands if they are high enough for your bed. Have a look & take a measurement HERE (https://amzn.to/2Gdez1k).
Oh my gosh, a file cabinet - yes - so industrial chic or mod as Kelly envisioned it. Get inspired HERE (https://amzn.to/2pKu46m).
Corbels can serve as night stands. Kelly loves the corbels she recently got from Mill Cottage (https://www.etsy.com/listing/470413355/handmade-wooden-corbels-set-of-2) on Etsy.
If you want to know which spring and summer decor items Anita is crushing on? Check out her favorites on her Amazon page HERE (http://Amazon.com/shop/cedarhillfarmhouse)

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. Listen to our tips on how to do it in style.
Downsizing is nice since smaller homes tend to be less expensive and they also tend to feel more cozy.

Over the Bed Ideas
The bed is usually the focal point of any bedroom, so what you put on the wall above your bed is important. Your eye will go to the bed and whatever is above the bed. The good news is that there are so many different things you can use there. And here's an idea. You can use nothing above the bed. If that doesn't work for you, there are a ton of ideas here.

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/).

Ways to Make a Statement in a Room
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!

Avoid These Decorating Mistakes
Between the three of us, we have probably made almost any decorating mistake you can make. Nothing schools a decorator better than a few whoppers!
The good thing about this podcast is we can make the mistakes for you and live to tell you what not to do! Today we are talking about AVOID THESE DECORATING MISTAKES!
We can all agree about not cluttering up our refrigerators. I know we might get some blowback, but try taking down all the "stuff" on your refrigerator and see how much neater your kitchen will be!
Matchy-Matchy is a big mistake!!!! Oh, my!
Are you thinking about the flow of color throughout your room and your home? Take a picture and evaluate!
Now let's all turn over a new leaf and add a few fabulous houseplants to our home! Organics bring life to a home! Home Depot is a great place to get houseplants, great prices and plants!
We want to encourage you not to get weary in the decorating process. Don't settle! Make sure your furnishings are what you LOVE!!!! Don't hurry through the process!
One BIG mistake we can all agree upon is buying a rug that is too small for a room or area. Spend the money and get the right size!!!!
See Yvonne's post about choosing THE right dining room rug size HERE (http://www.stonegableblog.com/5-rules-for-choosing-a-dining-room-rug/)

Trends that are Out for 2018
Today is such a fun episode! We know you like hearing about trends, so today we are talking about trends that are O-U-T for 2018! Some we agree on and some we don't. Some we are ushering onto the boat out of port and others we are holding onto for sure.
Bye bye rose gold.
But millennial pink is here, for now anyway.
TTFN trendy open shelving.
Shiplap - has the boat left the port? Find out...!
Palette projects a decided thumbs ____.
Down & dirty DIY - like toilet paper roll projects. Anita says no way! Yvonne says make it a napkin ring. Look HERE (http://www.stonegableblog.com/waiting-for-a-toilet-paper-roll-and-a-100-00-giveaway/).
"So far away...doesn't anybody stay in one (trend) anymore". Honest opinion - ditch those mass produced boho 'tapestries'.
White kitchens out - that is just plain silly! Here ours HERE (https://mysoulfulhome.com/spring-in-the-kitchen-styled-set/), HERE (http://www.stonegableblog.com/spring-kitchen-2017/) and HERE (https://cedarhillfarmhouse.com/decorating-ideas-for-your-kitchen/).
Barcarts - for Kelly, a flash in the pan - but Yvonne loves hers in so many ways. Have a drink, I mean look, HERE (http://www.stonegableblog.com/setting-up-chic-bar-cart/).
Succulents aren't out, just take it easy on them. Learn more about these hardy beauties HERE (https://mysoulfulhome.com/succulents-a-plant-guide/).
We covered many more "trends" and had so many laughs - join in the fun!

What Designers Notice First
What do designers notice first when they walk into a room? We're talking about the things designers (or decorating enthusiasts) notice when they walk into your home. Personally we love to see how other people decorate their homes. We are always on the lookout for new ideas.
Yvonne is still talking about how gorgeous Amy Howard's home is. (This is a home she owned in 2015.) Yvonne and Anita were invited to a party at Amy's house and they got to see her amazing home. Here's a link to see photos from the Amy Howard class we attended and you'll see several photos of Amy's home. If you look closely you'll see Anita and Yvonne in the photos HERE (http://www.dagmarbleasdale.com/2015/11/home-tour-amy-howards-stunning-new-house-memphis/?)
Kelly's pillow she talked out is HERE (https://www.instagram.com/p/BeZj2ZZlUVX/?taken-by=mysoulfulhome)
Designers notice
paint colors
fresh flowers
scuff marks on the wall
unusual pieces
furniture layout
moldings and woodwork
home scents
if the house looks like every other house

Birthday Extravaganza
Today is our birthday!!! I mean it's Kelly's birthday and my birthday. Yvonne has her half birthday today so we're pretending it's it her birthday too.
We also want to salute Dr. Martin Luther King Junior, whose actual birthday was Monday, January 15th.
Kelly has a birthday table for her kids' birthdays. She sets up a beautiful table with the birthday girl's favorite colors, with presents and cards and some yummy cupcakes and a birthday banner. Then she adds the baby book as a special treat.
Yvonne makes a favorite meal for the birthday person HERE (http://www.stonegableblog.com/pink-peony-tablescape-and-birthday/)

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!

Here are Yvonne's favorite glass cube containers HERE (http://rstyle.me/~afHK8)
and HERE (http://rstyle.me/~afHKB)

Don't throw away glass jars without giving them a second look! You just may have a cloche on your hands!

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!

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)

Kitchen Decor Done Right
We all have very different ideas about a kitchen does right. Just goes to show you your personal style has a whole lot to do with your idea of a kitchen done right! We are sharing our kitchens with you today and giving you some ideas to help you tackle the trouble spots in your kitchen!!!
Anita uses a restrained hand decorating her kitchen.
Our best tip for a kitchen done right is DECLUTTER! Get rid of all the excess! A kitchen looks best when it is clean and uncluttered.
All three of us have white cabinets and we love them. We consider them timeless.
Yvonne has a utilitarian kitchen so she does not have a lot of decor in it.

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. CLICK HERE.

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. Mind you this did get her 'tip of the day', so tune in for sure! White dish pans (http://amzn.to/2hnqNpq)

What's on Your Countertops
Useful, pretty - less is more... These words come to mind when we talk about what is and what should be on our & your kitchen countertops.
Let's head to the kitchen and see what's there...
We are talking tops today, but while we are at it HERE (http://mysoulfulhome.com/countertop-options-101/) is a post on what our countertops are made of and the pros & cons.
Kelly has Carrara marble and she says YES to it even with the imperfections it develops. Read all about it HERE (http://mysoulfulhome.com/carrara-marble-countertops-say-yes/)
Tip of the day for kitchen counters - storage can, and should be decorative, listen in to get all our pretty storage ideas for the countertop.
Backsplash the reason you have so many things on the counter? Maybe trying to hide it? Aspect Peel & Stick Tiles might be the solution. Look HERE (http://aspectideas.com/)
Free your backsplash from outlets with a undercounter strip of outlets. Check them out HERE (http://amzn.to/2grpo0q)
Kelly's knife set is really Henckels ( with the 2 men logo ). Have a look HERE (http://amzn.to/2xbJemS)
Do you really need all those small appliances? Anita loves her compact immersion blender & it fits in a drawer. It comes in a bunch of colors too. Look HERE (http://amzn.to/2xby5mk)
...and Kelly says its ok if you have paper towels on your counter - then your family, like hers, can find them. ;)

Summer to Fall Decor
Transitioning from Summer to Fall happens slowly outdoors, so why not mimic nature and transition slowly indoors as well?
We love the idea of changing out your summer decor for fall decor slowly because
A. that is how it works in nature

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! YOU GO GIRL!

Incorporating Industrial Style
Industrial Style is easy to add into any decor with our suggestions and tips. The look derives from the factories of the 19th century. The hallmarks are raw materials, exposed beams, muted palette and weathered materials. It has an edge that can really wake up your decor. Alone or juxtaposed with softer materials Industrial Style really speaks to us. How about you?
Get a full on Industrial look or simply add in a few key elements to freshen up your decor.
Have a look at Kelly's factory metal doors (http://mysoulfulhome.com/christmas-in-the-kitchen/).

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!!!!
Put a big basket in a room to put pillows in.
Don''t forget to monogram those pillows!

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.
Kelly's BEAUTIFUL KITCHEN MAKEOVER is a must see! Enjoy her white beauty, HERE (http://mysoulfulhome.com/bhome-fall-kitchen-reveal/)

Yvonne learned a lot about styling. HERE (http://www.stonegableblog.com/fall-has-come-to-my-part-of-country/)
