Often we say "Rule - Schmule" ~ well, something like that.

We generally like to pave our own decorating road and encourage you to do the same. That being said, there are some tried & true rules which when followed make decorating easier and the look better.

Before we get to far into our show notes, we're so excited to tell you that we have some fun bonus content coming at you the end of each month. We're choosing lively design topics, and we are both going to weigh in. Opinions will be flying. Will we agree? Tune in to find out. Check your podcast app for an extra episode at the end of each month.

Today we go over one of these rules, so you know it, understand how to apply it and you know when to hold 'em & when to fold 'em with respect to it. Listen in for the rule, a terrific listener question and a coming together to help request.

The rule is the 60 - 30 - 10 rule.

Do you know of it? Do you follow it? We dive into the reason for the rule, what it does for your decorating, how you can use it to your advantge and a few ways to tweak it make it your own.

Our listener question today is from Patricia and it involves hanging a chandy...

Question for you ~ are you a 'swagger'? Let us know & listen in to hear what we think of Patricia being a 'swagger'.

Thanks for your question Patricia!

Today we talk about romancing your home. Or better yet, decorating your home so it romances you! We have ideas that push the envelope of what might be typically considered ‘romantic’ and those that clearly fall into that category. Each item will add a delightful touch to your home and in turn make you feel wonderful. That sounds pretty romantic doesn’t it? And today isn’t all hearts and flowers, you are going to learn important tips on an item most of us use regularly.

Anita’s picks for adding a touch of romance are:

A velvet duvet from Ballard Designs HERE.

A cross the tub bath caddy from Wayfair HERE

A faux fur throw from Soft Surroundings HERE.

Talking about candles, if you don’t do it already start eating your evening meal by candle light.

The Emmett candlestick from Crate & Barrel HERE is an lovely choice to hold tapers on your table.

Creating a beautiful, inviting outdoor space is always a great idea and now it is essential. No matter the size of your outdoor space you can design it to live large. Take our tips, go outside and make a magical space to enjoy now & all summer long.

Consider the layout of your space & create some designated area.

Create a vista through an arch or gate, add a path & add height to your yard.

Some specific elements/pieces to add are:

An outdoor bed or a hammock. See a classic hammock HERE.

Almost any sized space can squeeze in a bistro set. See one we like HERE. Classic lines and in such fun colors!

See Kelly's arbor HERE.

Kelly's raised beds can be purchased HERE.

The most darling tiny shed HERE. Kelly loves hers! ( bummer sold out! )

Add a water or fire element to really enhance your space. Even a tabletop fire bowl adds a lot of atmosphere. See a nice one HERE.
