Although I offer organization if it’s part of a larger project or if it’s referred to me, and I do a damned good job at it- I also luuvvvv Sasha, owner of Tidy AF Greenville and will recommend them all day long. I worked with them for a couple months and they are great. Sasha is a beautiful human being and will make you feel so comfortable with just her presence.

A beautiful installation the last couple of days by mother and son. My clients are always so entertained and impressed by Steven and I’m so proud of the team we make on these bigger projects. This paper totally transformed the energy of this annex between original house and addition.

This client is a single woman on a budget. Her first paper of choice was this- but she didn’t want to spend the money on it. The second alternative was peel and stick (which I do not recommend but will work with it). I brought all my equipment in, got 2 panels installed and brought her in to show her how badly it was behaving. I said, “I made a deal with you and I will wrestle with this way longer than I’d quoted for. It’s like wrapping walls in plastic- in the end, I really don’t think you’re going to like it.” It was really poor quality that may have worked for a small accent wall, but not behaving around corners and all the other stuff. I told her I’d walk away at no extra charge and she could call me back when she got the paper she loved but was trying to go the more frugal route. It took 6 months and she was a VERY happy client and very thankful for my honesty and kindness when this was installed. It was definitely worth the money and the wait for her. Honesty and transparency are always the best policy, and you can be guaranteed to get both from me.

The hottest I’ve been since I grew a half acre garden in August! Whew!!

When you get all set up in the morning and think, man it’s hot in here. Go to the thermostat and it’s dead. Text your client and hear yeah, I think the AC bit the dust last night. Omg. I sweated in places I didn’t know sweated. My glasses were fogged an hour into installation but I had nowhere dry on my body to clear them. I’m not a sweater. But 90 degrees in a bathroom with no ventilation and no room for a ladder so I was doing acrobats… don’t think I’ve ever done a papering job so fast and yet, it’s perfect. Love your local business owner a lil harder when they go above and beyond!

Some girls splurge on shoes or handbags, but this girl just splurged on a new wallpaper tool box and I am thrilled! It is going to make life so much easier now that I can see everything!

I know I’ve been pretty quiet here lately. I’ve had some major life stuff happening, but things are more settled now and I am back at it!

This is a great article by Houzz about the current trends in the renovation business and spot on about planning. "From the first spark of an idea to the final nail, renovations unfold over several months — and ***the planning phase typically takes longer than the construction itself***. Kitchen projects top the list with an average of 9.5 months of planning and 5.8 months of construction. Primary bathrooms follow with 8.4 months of planning and 4.8 months of work, while dining rooms average 7.6 months of planning and 4.8 months of construction."

If you're even ENTERTAINING the idea of a renovation, let's start looking at it today!

"It's better to be overprepared and underwhelmed than it is to be underprepared and overwhelmed." Especially when your home is torn apart.
