The most important element of design...You!

I am writing today to give you the BEST design advice out there. Period.
I know, I know, sounds very arrogant of me huh...well...hmm

It is so easy to get wrapped up in "hot new" trends, tips, DIY projects and mail order catalog overload!
Sometimes I have even found myself leaning towards design projects or DIYs that really aren't "me" just for the fun of doing them with friends!
Does this sound familiar?
The most important element of design is YOU!

Remember that and stay true to "you" and your designs, colors, fabrics and furnishings will always be a perfect fit for your family!



What works for one isn't always the best bet for another.
Keep in mind your family, your activities and create your beautiful custom space!

A special thanks to LAP for this special inspiration pic of how great design fits perfectly in her busy and loving home! :)
Such a cutie!
