I recently returned from a trip to Texas where I helped one of my clients decorate her new home. And what an incredible home it is! We have all heard that everything is bigger in Texas, and believe me, it is!
Decorating a new home can be overwhelming but I think we got a good start. Fortunately, she has lots of fine furniture, good artwork, and accessories that they have collected over the years. We just needed some new interior design ideas to make her possessions work in her new home. We started by hanging her artwork in new and creative ways. Then I moved on to arranging her family room bookshelves.
My client wanted a new look in the master bedroom so naturally we started with the bed since it is the focal point of the room. I went to one of my favorite resource’s for custom bedding; Eastern Accents. I love to create truly custom bedding, but you can’t lose when you select one of their ensembles. We chose the Perilla collection and my client loves it.
This is so easy. The ensemble includes everything we needed for a beautiful bed, soft colors, shimmering fabrics, a ruffled skirt and tastefully embellished pillows. My client loves traditional design, but we have lots of choices when it comes to modern design too.
Now all we need are drapes, shades for the existing lamps, artwork and the room will really sing! If you would like to create YOUR perfect bedroom, let me know, I would love to help.

When decorating your home, area rugs are wonderful for warming up a room, adding color, softness and defining a furniture grouping. One of the most common questions that I am asked is about the proper size for an area rug. Many people make the mistake of buying a rug that is too small for their space.
Dining Room Area Rug
When selecting an area rug for your Dining room or breakfast room, the rug should be large enough to have all furniture resting on the rug. It is important that the chairs remain on the rug when they are pulled out. To determine the correct size, measure the length and width or diameter of the table. Add 36” for chairs on each side to be sure that your chairs will rest on the rug in the pulled out position. Usually the best sizes for Dining rooms rugs are 8’ x 11’ or 9’ x 12’.
Living Room Area Rug
When deciding on a living or family room area rug try to have all the furniture or at least the front of the furniture sit on the rug. Recommended sizes are 8’ x 11’ or 9’ x 12’.
Bedroom Area Rug
In bedrooms, it’s nice when the rug is big enough to take a couple of steps on it when you get out of bed. If you like unexpected arrangements, you might consider angling the rug or angle the bed and rug to match. Suggested sizes are 8’ x 11’ or 9’ x 12’.
