I'm going to take her class on choosing the right colors for your home. Looks like a lot of FUN! Good Luck!
PJMCD,
Let us know how you liked the class. My wife went to it to get some ideas for decorating our CYV. It seems we have done most everything wrong. Our TV is in the LR in the corner by the glass slider, and our recliners are against the big wall looking at the TV and outside at our pool and landscaped yard. Big no no on all counts. No TV or recliners in the LR and we should be facing the big wall. The focal point should be the big wall in the LR, with the couch against the glass sliders. When we have a beautiful view looking at the landscaped yard, palm trees and pool, why should we look at a wall? And it goes on. The only thing we got right is the color of the kitchen cabinets. And we didn't pick them. So, if you want some ideas on how to decorate all wrong, stop by and say hi.
A couple people were so disapointed they quit the class and wanted their money back.
I'm sure she has a lot of good ideas, just not for us.
Waiting to hear what you think of the class.
Bob
