I Am Hiring An Interior Designer Because.....

I am hiring an interior designer because it will save me money.

You better believe it will. Interior designers will be able to save you money and will make sure that they are sticking to your budget. Designers also have burying privledges that others don't have.  That designer sofa you love can come at a lower price. Don't look at hiring a designer as a service you will have to pay for but look at it as an investment that will bring value to your property.

I want to hire an interior designer because I don't have the time to decorate. 

Time is of the essence, especially when your schedule is packed to capacity. Taking on a decorating project is a full time job. A designer will be able to hire your contractors, project manage, arrange deliveries, maintain the budgets, do the shopping and much more while you continue to take care of your daily tasks.


I want to hire an interior designer because I don't know what to do.

No worries. Most designers are trained and have the expertise of knowing what to do first when starting the project, how to handle the hiccups that occur during the project and how to interpret your vision and make it a reality.  A professional interior designer will also have access to designer showrooms. Allowing someone who has personal style and an eye for design can only enhance your homes beauty and make it fit your character and personality.



I want to hire an interior designer because my better half and I can't agree in what to do with our home design. 

It is possible to mix two totally different design styles. Even if one likes modern and the other likes country. Find out what a designer can offer you through a consultation and other services. 





It can be nerve wrecking to hire a designer and you want to choose the right one.  Check out Houzz many designers in your local area probably have a profile, portfolio and ratings. 


Good luck! 

Happy New Year!!

Designs of Atlanta

I just got back from my 2 week trip in Atlanta. Atlanta is a designers best friend. It has so much to offer. There are massive amounts of resources in Georgia for furniture, flooring, fabrics, art, lighting, and so much more. If your into design then Atlanta is definitely a place you need to visit!

You can't go to Atlanta without checking out Atlanta's Design Art Center.  Even if your not a designer the design centers in every state are great to visit for inspiration for your own space.











I went to the Articulate Event at the ADAC. The Articulate Event was a showcase for new an upcoming artist to display their talent. Absolutely Fabulous!

DJ Spun on the wheels. She rocked it!

The artist Christian Smith

Loved how you could add your own little artistic talent to the canvas.

Go visit Atlanta and share some of your photos with me.

Pinterest

Hi my name is Monique and I am addicted to Pinterest.   It has a wide range of categories; animals, architecture, art, cars, celebrities, design DIY projects, books, musics, food, gardening, beauty, health, history, events, kids, products, science, sports, travel, fashion and much more.  It is a an excellent resource and easy to get started.  You can log on to it with your facebook account and start pinning today.  Things you like you can click on the like button and things you love you can re pin.  Best of all most pictures are labeled with where the picture came from.  This is another awesome tool to help get your business name out there.  I'm sure someone you know is a pinner already.  Follow your friends, companies whom ever else you'd like.  You have to try it!

Here are some pics of my favorite pins.
