I'd like some ideas of fee based interior decorators to help me decorate an entire house (including walls, floors, furniture and accessories). I know I can find one at Southern Lifestyles, etc, but am most interested in an independent source who is not tied to a single store.

Try Ruth Dyer, who writes a Saturday decorating column in the Daily Sun. Call her at 352-804-2056.

High energy, easy to work with, enthusiastic.

Thanks for the idea.... I've seen her column in the paper.

Any other recommendations?

Veranda Home Furnishings in Wildwood. The shop is charming and they have a staff of very competent interior decorators.

I appreciate the suggestions. In thinking about a 2nd home and getting it set up with the input of someone who know The Villages and the various home styles is a great help.
