Decorate This, Not That! Book Cover

Decorate This, Not That! Coming January 2018

Over one year in the making, thanks to my dream editor-publisher, Marta Hallett, Glitterati Inc. and G Arts, I happily announce the arrival of my second small-space design book, Decorate This, Not ThatIt will be available wherever books are sold in January, 2018.

Small-Space Tips For Every Room

I transformed a rundown two-bedroom, petite beach house (all 614-sq.feet of it) from shack to cozy cottage, room by room to garden. Since this house will not be a forever home, I set up stringent design goals for this renovation:

•Keep decor accessible and easily done with my own two hands, paint brush, power drill with only an occasional call for help to my contractor friend, Joe.

•Keep decor portable and flexible, without permanently hurting walls, windows or floors so that it can travel with me.

•Experiment with surprising materials, storage ideas, unique colors and patterns to maximize every inch of a home.

•Throughout the making of this book, I fully embraced by maximalist ways. You will discover my love of color and the mixture of patterns, vintage with modern, high-end and low.
