Interior Spaces

Let's face it, interior spaces can feel like a daunting and intimidating task to undertake for those who haven't yet found or embraced their inner interior designer.  I hope to be able to provide helpful hints and tips that will allow you to reach that goal of successfully accomplishing the interior space you live and work in.


Many of us look at our homes and cringe at the thought of having to decorate, redecorate or even renovate! But with my help (and those of some very handy/crafty websites, blogs and books) I might be able to get you to feel less fear and more inspiration!


If you're fortunate enough to have the knack and flare for decor and decorating then my aim is to provide you with some handy tips and tricks of the trade to take your skills up a notch!


We all have the wherewithal to create beautiful, functional, livable, creative spaces in our homes and offices.  It's all a matter of getting to know your interior (and even exterior) space and working with a) what you have and b) what you can fit into the space.
