  • Episode 96: 5 Tips for Working with An Interior Designer

    Working with an interior designer is exciting - but I know it can also feel intimidating. When you hire an interior designer there are a few things you should know that will make the most of your investment and make the design process smooth and enjoyable:


    1. Complete any requested pre-meeting work
    2. Gather and share your inspiration images
    3. Prepare your questions ahead of time
    4. Remember, your designer isn't judging you!
    5. Trust your interior designer (and if you don't, they're not the right designer for you)

  • Episode 95: How High To Hang Curtains

    Want to know what drives me crazy? The fact that most ready-made curtain panels come in 7' lengths - which is way, WAY too short! Here's how high to hang curtains - and why you need longer curtains than you think.


    - For average 8' ceilings, split the difference between the top of the window frame and the bottom of the crown molding.
    - For high ceilings, hang curtains a little higher than halfway.
    - Curtains should have a 1/2" break on the floor (that means they should just barely touch).
    - If you have uneven floors, longer curtains will hide uneven floors.


    BONUS TIP: Also hang your curtains wider than your windows! Cheat the width to make your windows look larger.

  • Episode 94: 3 Small Living Room Design Ideas That Have a Big Impact

    When designing a small space, we're tempted to use small furnishings and decor to make the room feel large - when in fact, the opposite is true! Too many small things look cluttered and chaotic. Using fewer, larger pieces will actually make a room feel larger and more expansive.


    Here are 3 small living room design ideas that have a BIG impact:
    1. Choose a sectional and accent chair instead of a sofa
    2. Use the largest rug possible
    3. Go big with your art!
