USE WHAT YOU HAVE DECORATING by House Work for Mortals

This is a book I highly recommend!

Use what you have decorating by Lauri Ward.

Sneak peek into this book:
· The 10 most common decorating mistakes and how to correct them
· Transform your home in one hour with 10 simple design principles
· Use the space you have, the things you like the budget you choose

I bought this book online used for cheap and I used the concepts discussed. It really works!
Down side: I found that I did not want to move every single piece of furniture around a million times just to find that special spot where it looks good.
Solution: RCWilleys has a great online room planner you can use to virtually place your furniture anywhere in your virtual room.
All you need to do:
· Measure all your actual furniture you want to put in the room plan
· Measure your room you plan to change and decorate
· Size the virtual furniture with your actual furniture measurements in the room planner.
· Move your furniture around in your house without having to actually move it.

Go to www.rcwilley.com click on icovia Room planner and try it out! Let me know what you think.
