Decorating Ideas To Go

I've known the owner of Decorating Ideas To Go for years as a person with a livable, comfortable, but always pulled together home, so I was excited to learn about her business. I had two projects that I'd been putting off for a long time: selecting extra dining room chairs and decorating an empty corner in the den. She came to the house, asked a series of very insightful questions, and followed up within 48 hours with decorating suggestions and -- here's the best part -- links to where I could find just what I need online at budget friendly places like Overstock, Home Goods, etc. This isn't one of those "Pay a huge retainer and wait 24-26 weeks until something arrives from Europe" services. She offers down-to-earth advice for a down-to-earth fee for people who want to spruce up a room quickly. She was particularly good in breaking through my "purchase paralysis." I had bookmarked about a dozen chairs I liked. She went through them with me, pointing out the pros and cons of each one. Her follow-up recommendation included the best of those, plus a few other online options I hadn't seen. I would definitely use this service again. I've made some expensive decorating mistakes over the years -- like a paint color that was fine during the day but terrible at night or window treatments that didn't take into account how the room is used. This seems like a good "insurance policy" to help me think through what I really want, while sticking to the budget.
