To meet at each other's homes and discuss new trends and stuff we are thinking about doing and get other like minded girls who would give you feedback. Maybe have a speaker once in awhile? Maybe swap magazines?

I just love to discuss decorating and see what others are doing. Maybe once a month? Any takers?

Gracie, did you know there is already a decorating club in TV? Home - The Villages Home Decorating Club (http://homedecoclub.com/index.html)

That doesn't mean there can't be another club!!

If I was there, you could count me in both of these clubs!!

The agenda for the existing club calls for a tour of houses. Now that does sound like fun.

Wow. This is too wonderful. I have been thinking about this. We could all meet at our house and introduce ourselves and say where we are in our decorating. Mine is really pretty much done but I LOVE hearing other people's plans and following what the new little trends are and the colors and talking about how to make a home in Florida your very own.

I would be glad to start it off in a couple of weeks. Should I choose an afternoon...or an evening? Everyone could maybe cut out pictures of the kinds of rooms they love? I am sure we could decide on a format once we are together. I think one of the Southern Lifestyle decorators might like to talk to us.

And the person from Rael Furniture would be so welcomed. Maybe that girl who has the column in the Sun might come one time..... and maybe we could just go on a decorated model tour together some time.

Just throwing stuff out....

I don't want to be too bossy here.

I would love to join when we finally move there permanently in July 2013. Please keep us posted on the meeting times and such. Hopefully, there will be room for me as it seems quite popular!

This is great! I've already learned that I should be collecting pictures of rooms I like. I'll try to get on that. GG, do you take off points if we don't have our homework done?

Tuesday & Wednesday afternoons work for me, or any evening.
Thanks so much for doing this!
And GG, you're never too bossy. :thumbup:

I have heard from a fellow TOTVr, CarlaB that there is a club and it meets once a month at a regional rec center and has 300 members. Here is the link. Home - The Villages Home Decorating Club (http://www.homedecoclub.com/)

I would like to go to it too, but selfishly I would like to meet with some of you nice TOTVrs in a smaller version of a similar decorating club in our homes. I would just like to spend some time with you nice girls from TOTV.

So please PM me and I will get back to the first thirty who respond and we will get started and maybe if we have tons of names we could have two groups?

you might want to check out the one that exists. Today they had a tour of homes (5 of them), to get decorating ideas, which was lots of fun. The club also swaps decorating magazines. The president is a really dynamic lady and is always open to new ideas so you might want to give that a try.

Gracie, I can't decorate anything! Could I join? I so envy others beautiful homes and despite my best efforts, mine seems always to come up short. I'd love to learn those tricks. We're still eating corn up here in Ohio but will be down in three weeks. Sold most everything so can start with a clean slate. Hope you'll let me in! Hope there's no hazing! lol!!

Joaniesmom, we can sit together in the beginners' section & take notes. I don't have a decorating bone in my body. GG, please go easy on us beginners! ;)

This sounds like fun, but we're not moving down there until sometime in 2014. We haven't even visited yet (our first visit is the end of September), but I know we're going to love it.

Have fun, everyone! Wish I were there! :sad:

Hello Gracie

I sent you a PM on 8/22 about wanting to be in the decorating club. I hope you got it. I'm trying so hard to get "out of the office" and absolutely love decorating. Also Joaniesmom and I have become friends through another avenue, so I do hope I can be included.Joanie. Happily there is room for you and than we are full.

Hazing...never thought about that. ;)

Hi Gracie. How is your summer going? Just got back in town from spending time with the family up north. I was with (Terri) Tainsley today and she was telling me about your Decorating Club. I would love to be a part of it. I need help more than I can give it, that's for sure. If there is room for me, I would love to be a part of the club. Thanks.
