Follow these tips and your home will look like a designer styled it.

 Be Your Own Designer tipHave only things that have meaning to you. It’s your home! Don’t let a designer or sales person talk you out of what makes your heart sing. If you love to cuddle, then make sure your sofa is snuggle-friendly. If you love clear vibrant colors, then don’t let someone coerce you into drab grey. It’s your home, and it must reflect YOU. Like Shakespeare said, "To thine own self be true." For more tips, be sure to sign up for this Saturday's Drab 2 Fab class for budget-friendly ways to make your home reflect your style.
