But, in my 2 daughters rooms and guest room, years ago, I had them to the floor so that I could store wrapping paper, etc. and they had extra toys (way to many) they could shove them in and under. Can I come stay in your guest room, it is so pretty. lol Have a good weekend. Oh, I had a decorator out to our new house, and I only got one 1 good idea from her, she wanted it to look 'her' way. Too bad, that is why I have never used a decorator. (And I have always been asked who my decorator is? HA) Paulafixitfaeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03030309981817375202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-6363462671153472014-01-09T20:34:18.431-05:002014-01-09T20:34:18.431-05:00I like bed skirts that purse a little at the floor...I like bed skirts that purse a little at the floor.

It give me permission to love what I love. I know this intuitively, of course but need reminders and when a BIG TIME FANCY SUCCESSFUL DEISGNER reminds me it helps it stick :-) I did not comment nor read the comments about this room because it is not really my particular style taste so i just studied it for elements that would work in my style. I LOVE the word "Handsome" in Kris's instructions. It IS handsome. And I loved "upscale field tent" cause now i totally get her design asthetic and makes me really love this room. She must be a fun person with an adventurous spirit :) . And! Of course health concerns SHOULD be addressed! I have a dog and am allergic to dogs (not allergic to loving dogs though so I have one) but it defiantly informs my style decisions. You really are a design rock star, Besty. I am blessed blog.

I once hired a decorator who although I really liked her a lot, she would never listen to me. I prefer the way you decorate your own home. That is exactly my taste. She sent me modern pieces and lots of chinese inspired pieces. I was very young and intimidated and bought a lot of furniture that I don't like. She used to tell people we met how I was not her sophisticated client but her cute client. I love anything with cabbage roses and needlepoint pieces makes my heart skip a beat. Everyone has to find their own style. Your blog is one of the best so funny and real. Thanks.

I love reading and learning from your expertise and take what I can to use in my own home. I too like the short bedskirt for some reason.. and I also like how you left the pillows flat and not upright but that might be another debate.. ha! ha! take care, love what you do!
