Smile Decorator

I asked the same question a few weeks ago. I have the name of a decorator that was recommended on this forum. I will let you know who it is tomorrow as the info is downstairs and I'm in bed!

Our neighbors used Ruth Dyer who writes a column on Saturday for The Daily Sun.

There home is just beautiful!

Here is a link to another house in The Villages she helped guide the decorating.

This house was sold some time ago but the link is still there.

Default Ruth Dyer, Finishing Touch

Decorating is a process that requires time and patience, and is a lot of fun. We've been working with Ruth Dyer for awhile and we are absolutely thrilled with her guidance. She recently opened a new store on 441, "The Finishing Tough." She can be reached at: (352) 804-2056. Tell her JoAnn and Jim are highly recommending her. Here are some pictures.

Default Interior decorator?

Hi. I have no experience with this decorator, however, another person on this forum recommended Cece Movnagh....352-307-4510. She showed me photos of the work Cece did and she did a nice job.

Just love the living room built ins! We want to put in a fireplace, build ins, and have our TV build in as well. This looks like what we want. Will have to keep Ruth in mind. Thanks for sharing....

I think your home is just beautiful CTGolfer. It is elegant and dramatic and welcoming. I love the use of black accents and I just could break in and steal the bird pictures!!!! AND the table centerpiece too. I love the choice of the dining room furniture, very nice lines and lovely deep color.

Bare, I do so prize that compliment but I am not a real decorator.

CTGolfer, what Ruth Dyer did for your home is absolutely stunning! We had her for a consultation a few years ago and she has some really good ideas.

The Finishing Touch store is located on Route 441 in Belleview (I believe). Going North on 441 from the Villages, it is on the right just after the Dell Webb community.

Default Modern decorator-terrific

Jann Kloor is a terrific decorator. Her telephone is 303 589-8132. She is not here full time yet but comes about every 5 weeks for about 10 days. I recommend her very highly. She helped us with our house. Best,Carol Piirto
