There is a statistic floating around out there (don't quote me on this!), that something like only 1% of Americans can afford an interior decorator. My passion lays in helping others to create a home that they love and feel great about...afterall, Confidence Begins at Home™! I live to help my clients translate their personalities and goals into homes that they love, which is why I have made it the goal of Simplifying Fabulous! and my Design Insider column to translate my over 20+ years of design experience into content that will help and empower everyone to create home that they are proud of!

With this in mind, we're starting a four-part Design Insider series, Design on a Budget! Starting next week with a guide on where to begin, the series will cover creating a budget, putting the plan into action, and tying it all together: Part 1: Who are You? What’s Your Style? Questions to ask yourself before you begin. Part 2: Budget? What’s a Budget? Step-by-step: How to create your budget! Part 3: Time to Shop! Where to go to find great design on a dime. Part 4: Final Touches, Pulling It All Together Final Touches: The hunt is ON! Where to find great accessories. As we begin, contact me with questions or suggestions on things you'd like me to cover. I want to help YOU create a home you LOVE!
