If only Gracie was not in Ohio...


She loves to decorate! I do as well, but am trying to find time to do all the things in our new home and work (ugh),

A few questions to get you started:

Are you bringing any pieces with you from Tenn? How formal do you want your new home to be? If you walk through Southern Lifestyles, what colors are you drawn to? Are there types of furnitures you have to have - such as a big TV, a king bed or a recliner - as these can limit how much other stuff you can fit in.

Tell me about what you found at Bargains & Treasures - chances are, if these are pieces you liked, you can build a whole room (or villa) around them.

Because the homes here are so open, my own taste is that the colors/styles of the main living areas need to mesh. In other words, I would not do a Tennessee orange kitchen and red in the dining and living rooms.

Mostly what is important is that your home be a place that you are comfortable. We could not afford to start with all new stuff (we are FROGS) and really didn't want to. Many of the things we brought from home had been with us for years and bring memories of good times along with them.

PM me if you think I can help.
