You know those tricky questions or stressful situations that keep you awake at night?
How do you pick the right paint color? Can you create a cohesive style in a home filled with mismatched or outdated pieces? How do you make a large room feel cozy or a small room feel less cluttered? What if you don’t know your decorating style? These are the kinds of dilemmas many of us face.

There are so many decorating questions that can stump even experienced homeowners. I’ve asked myself many of these over the years, and as a decorator I’ve had to solve hundreds of related dilemmas to make homes of all sizes and styles work—often on a tight budget.
About two years ago I asked you, my readers, which decorating questions stump you the most. Your responses helped shape a new book co-written with my friend KariAnne Wood of Thistlewood Farms.
We’re so excited to share this labor of love and invite you to join our book launch.
