<p>Do you think about your decorating style when you choose outdoor gardening pieces and the plants that you&#8217;ll be enjoying?  Your exterior decor choices reflect your style as much as your interior designs do.</p>
<p>Do you gravitate to traditional looks such as garden urns, shaker-style planters, clay pots?  Do you love geraniums, petunias, impatiens?</p>
<p>Or do you prefer straight line pots, smooth decorative ceramics, and unconventional vessels?  Maybe a spiky yucca, a grouping of succulents, a sago palm, portulaca, and a more bold look appeals to you.</p>
<p>Red Hot Poker or Knockout Rose?</p>
<p>Hibiscus in a contemporary pot or geraniums with trailing ivy?</p>
<p>Huge Elephant Ear plant or azalea?</p>
<p>Maybe your look is eclectic.  Whatever you choose, keep in mind to group similar pot and plant styles together&#8230; Just as you would do with your interior accessories.  Make a statement!</p>

<p>Exquisitely decorated bedrooms are often not a reality, but we can aspire to greatness, right?  The most beautiful bedrooms begin with nice furniture pieces, a unique headboard, and very importantly:  the bedding.</p>
<p>Who doesn&#8217;t dream of retiring to the glamorous retreats we see in the designer decor magazines?  What us normal folks do is try to emulate what we see in the high-priced stores and catalogs.</p>
<p>This room&#8217;s focal point is the unique harlequin designed wall.  And neutrals in chocolate, espresso, and white are always classic and relaxing.  Add some plants, some sophisticated accessories, and you&#8217;re ready to retire to your realistic yet luxurious bedroom retreat.</p>

<p>Well, for one&#8230;I do!  You may too, but if you haven&#8217;t heard of this form of decorating, you may not have known it was even available.</p>
<p>Interior Redesign is using what you have to transform your space.  In a nutshell, Interior Redesign can give your home a new fresh look but on a <strong>budget</strong>.  Also called &#8220;use what you have decorating&#8221; or &#8220;one day makeovers&#8221;, it&#8217;s an affordable option when you&#8217;re just bored with your surroundings.  A trained and fresh eye can see what sometimes you can&#8217;t!</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re reading this blog, you must care about decorating and beautifying your space.  Maybe you haven&#8217;t known where to start, need some guidance, or need help completing that project that is sitting halfway done.  This blog will focus on inexpensive decorating fixes and recommendations.  I will post relevant information on great finds, post photos of before and after redesign jobs, and some exciting interior/exterior enhancement ideas.</p>
<p>Stay tuned!</p>
