STEP 8: MEASURE AND CREATE A FLOOR PLAN
Now that you know your needs and wants, it’s time to pop these items in a floor plan to see which ones make the cut. Use graph paper and pen or an app. I use Sweet Home 3D. to make a floor plan to scale, and start dropping furniture pieces in.
Your deliverable: A floor plan (or a few floor plan options) showing how you want your space to flow with your furniture arranged on the plan.

Easy Summer Decorating Ideas - DTT Classic
Summertime and the living (and decorating) is easy! There are so many simple ideas to freshen up for this season.
Summer decorating might just be more about what you take away than what you add. Remove and store away any items that say winter. That is includes the beloved furry Mongolian pillows!
Maybe you take down drapes & let the room bask in even more sunlight.
If you are adding for summer, how about:
A straw hat casually hung on a hook or from a chair back; HERE

Customer Reviews
I feel like I’m chatting with a decorator friend!
I stumbled across this podcast in my search for good decorating advice. I’m just a girl who likes to change things up all the time! This show makes me feel
Like I’m chatting with decorator friends and the tips are simple, realistic tips. I loved the episode about finding a piece of wicker on the road and dragging it home! My question is this. I did a big no-no and changed my dining room to a color that does not appear anywhere else in my house. I used SW Oyster Bay on my walls and wallpapered in a pattern with similar color. What can I do to bring the color throughout the rest of my downstairs without redoing my entire house. I have SW Agreeable gray on my walls (but I was never farmhouse) and SW Wall Street as an accent wall in my family room. With my pictures I can put some pillows in there and I think make it work BUT my kitchen has browns and grays in it (sounds awful just typing it)! I’m not opposed to painting my cabinets in my kitchen but what else can I do to bring the color throughout so it is more cohesive downstairs and not have to change out my flooring, which is a brown/gray. What accents could I possibly use in a kitchen?
Thanks! - Dreaming of decorating

Ladies - is something wrong with Anita’s teeth/mouth? She sounds as if she us struggling around something.
Practical and helpful tips
I’ve listening for about a year now and I almost always hear something that applies directly to my home. I’ve purchased some of the products they recommend and they are always high quality. Love it!
