Do you have a good tip you can pass on to a friend? You know, the one you live by. The one that makes life a bit easier for you. I have one I want to share with you. My favorite decorating suggestion is quite simple. “Buy only what you love.”
Have you ever been in a store shopping and come across something you instantly fell in love with? I mean, you have to have it? Without hesitation, your mind races and your heart sings reaching for justifications as to why you “need” buy and bring it home.
When you make your decorating decisions based on this kind of love, automatically, you define your decor style. The aesthetics of your home will reveal your personality.
One of the reasons designers are good at what they do is because they listen. They pay attention to things you say about yourself. They find out what you love. Then they create various ways to implement and display them into your home.
So, the next time you are shopping and find an item that grabs your attention with strong emotion, make sure you love it before you buy it.
Simply put, a space that is decorated well comes down to four little letters, L-O-V-E.
Love the color, love the look, and love your style!!!

Oh what great advice. If you really love it, you will love it years from now and you will smile everytime you look at it. That not only goes for furniture but for accessories too. Don't settle, buy what makes your heart sing as you say. Hugs, Marty

I love you disposition and attitude! Yes, like a mirror, the accessories in our homes should reflect the essence of our personality. When we are surround by what we love, we find comfort. Therefore, the deliberate act to purchase only what you love a result in a beautiful home that gives the homeowner rest.
