Welcome to your virtual designer... Sometimes, when people ask me what I think about a design project they've tackled on their own, I am left thinking, "Oh, I wish you would have asked me before you spent the money/time on that." Sometimes, the advice is as simple as, "two inches to the left" or "add a contrast color" or "one shade darker" or "no, that chair is way too big for your space" and the design goes from "nice" to "wow!" So, please, please ask me BEFORE you pick a paint color, hang a curtain, or select a flooring.

This is how it works: I am open to any and all design related questions. Just post your question on this blog or email it to me at yabdesign2000@yahoo.com. You can also send me a picture of the item or space for which you need advice. Then I will post your question and answer for others to see and reference. I believe so much in preventing design disasters that I would even make Skype appointments if you have a bigger design dilemma you want to run by me.

So, tell your friends and family and send in your questions and I will address them one by one. I'm looking forward to working with you!

Tip of the Day - Simple Seating



OK, here's a really simple tip for families with small kids. Keep the seating in the main dining area simple. Solid wood or metal. No fabric, cane or rush seating. I know it looks cute and stylish, but to everything there is a season. I don't even want to entertain the thought of picking rice or stuck-on, milk-laced cheerios from the reed-like fibers or $30/yard fabric. And what about Kool-Aid, and spaghetti sauce stains and ice-cream drippings? Naaa. Let's go for practical now and indulge later. Simple!
