The Excitement Of A Reveal


There's nothing more satisfying than the excitement of a reveal of a room that you just finished decorating!




One of the best rewards of decorating or redesigning is seeing your clients reaction when they see the work you've accomplished. It all starts with an assessment of the room and talking with the client to find out what they like and dislike. Next comes the review of items they already own and what inventory needs to be added. The process begins its day to day transformation from the bare bones to the final reveal.




My creative juices start flowing immediately - it's like my natural instincts start taking over and my mind is racing. I already know how the room should look and I start going over my suggestions with the clients. When your clients are a wife and husband you must make sure that you address the needs and desires for both. This is their room and it must reflect what they like but they are not sure how to accomplish the look.

Interior Designer vs. Interior Decorator or Redesigner

What is the difference between an Interior Designer and an Interior Decorator or Redesigner?

There are 2 major differences between these professions.
  1. An Interior Designer is involved with more structural aspects and renovations. They are schooled and licensed to understand the architectural issues and building codes for major structural renovations. - An Interior Decorator or Redesigner has the natural insight for decorating your room or rooms but will contract a General Licensed Contractor to perform and oversee any major structural renovations that a homeowner may request.
  2. An Interior Designer is a highly paid professional - An Interior Decorator or Redesigner is an affordable professional. Your Decorator or Redesigner will try to use your furnishings and accessories first and change the layout or arrangement. They are not interested in selling you new furnishings and accessories with markups but may suggest some purchases to get the look you desire. They are great shoppers for bargains. Decorators or Redesigners have a natural talent and vision and love what they do.

Oh To Touch A Goat

Have you ever touched a Goat?



I recently had an encounter with not only 1 but several baby goats. The one that touched my heart was totally brown and just a few days old. His name was "Buster Brown" and was the most adorable tiny goat. When he was handed to me I couldn't help but notice how similar he was to any baby we would encounter. His little cry was so sweet and as soon as I snuggled him close to my body he was immediately calm and we both were comforted.



Stepping out of your comfort zone with any thing new can be a great experience. Try a new experience and contact It's A Hootie Staging & Redesign, Inc. for a redesign appointment. A redesign for a room in your home can be as comforting as touching a goat!

Beautiful Weather - Time To Recharge

Beautiful weather in the Atlanta area and time to recharge your batteries.



I know how beautiful weather during the spring can put a pep in your step and starts the creative juices flowing. It is a time to recharge our batteries by getting outside and dreaming of new projects for the landscape.



Here are a few ideas to update your landscape around your home:


  • Check into adding interest to your flower beds -edge with rocks in key areas instead of surrounding the entire bed.

  • Plant annuals in large containers - BIG makes a bigger visual impact in focal spots.

  • Consider colorful plants at the entrance of your home - color in the flowers is like accessories in your home.

  • Look at changing the color of your door or shutters - small cost for significant impact.

  • When selecting colorful plants remember to use odd numbers - 3 or 5 of each color in groupings.

  • Colorful cushions for your outdoor furniture - if your cushions are faded from previous seasons try making a simple slip cover.

  • Make a sitting arrangement in a special place in your yard - this creates an outdoor room for guest to visit.

  • Add a garden statue in your flower bed - don't go crazy and put several - remember less is more for impact.

  • Evaluate your landscape for clutter - our yards can get cluttered just like our homes.

  • If you have a shed don't forget to add shrubbery - sheds need softening with plantings around the foundations.

  • Consider a coat of paint on furnishings or sheds - it's like make-up that hides imperfections.

The possibilities are endless. Take time to recharge your batteries and get outside to enjoy what our Creator has provided.
