EASIER SAID THAN DONE
When it comes to interior design getting
from here to there can be a lengthy process.
Creating a lovely room that reflects those
who live within is no doubt challenging.
Adapting any client's needs and wants to
the limitations of the space itself demands
creativity, daring, and perseverance. Most
homeowners can't fathom the amount of
time and effort required to set one's stage.
Beyond what seems like "fun" is in reality
a scientific approach to time, money, and
logistics. Plus a much needed advanced
degree in psychology. Style is hard work!
Some of us don't know what we want until we see
it. A phenomena that limits options for even the
most adept of interior designers. That's why it's
important to initiate any home decorating project
with a firm vision of what your want. "Clipping"
is the easiest way to quickly communicate what
one likes. That's why we recommend pulling all
of the things you love into one place - be that a
Pinterest page or file folder. You'll be amazed at
what inevitably happens within such a context.
Slowly those bits and pieces combine to create
a rather clear vision. Dreams of things to come.
In essence a road map for the journey ahead...
Next comes a dose of reality. Prior to embarking
on any design project it's important to establish
parameters. First and foremost one must measure
the room itself. Identifying the unique physical
issues related to a space. Seemingly insignificant
facts such as the placement of electrical outlets
could make or break your ultimate outcome. Or
worse, ordering a big piece of custom furniture
that doesn't fit is futile at best. Equally important
is establishing a realistic budget. Understanding
what things actually cost helps separate fantasy
from reality. And don't forget that less is more.
Hence challenges inevitably inspire creativity!
Our favorite phase of any project is "hunting
and pecking." Consider this French brass and
faux malachite bar cart. C+V HOME found it
by chance at an auction preview. For the next
week we lay in wait. Would our bid win? Or
might some one else discover our jewel and
bid higher? Finally the gavel fell and we
reigned supreme. However that was just the
start. Six weeks later our long lost love hit
Lewistown on a roll. Proving that Montana
truly is the "treasure state." And that it's all
the easier to have others do your dirty work.
That's why we do what we do and you don't!
Last but not least is putting it all together. Post
the best laid plans and more than a bit of elbow
grease the magic happens. Which is why in the
end creating a beautiful space is well worth the
effort. So why haven't you started redecorating
that room you can't stand? The holiday season
will soon be upon us. So rather than make do
isn't it time dazzle your family and friends with
an updated space? Better yet, make it happen so
that you can spend the long winter "cocooning"
in a new space that's totally "you". Theres time
to make it happen. Think of it this way - there's
only fifty three decorating days until Christmas!
