You're Invited

If you happen to get to Chicago between now and December 18th, stop by to see the 5th anniversary DreamHome at the The Merchandise Mart  for design inspiration from local Chicago designers.

Here is just a peak at what you'll see...

I think Janet McCann did a beautiful job with color in this home office...

This bright and airy library was designed by Denise Antonucci and Jerry SanFillippo

This wonderful dining room was designed by Leslie Jones.

And last but certainly not least the sexy master bathroom was designed by Chris Michiels.

I am hoping to be there before December so I can share more inspirations with you.  If you happen to go, please let me know what you think as well.

In case you want more....Here's a sampling of what others are saying about my services....

"I had my doubts but was desperate to improve my home office, so I gave Marie a try.  I'm so glad I did, she gave me great ideas that worked." 

Laurie, California

"I am a do it yourselfer by nature but I couldn't get my room to the next level and it was driving me crazy and my family too.  After taking a chance on Marie I was so pleased with the level of detail she provided and the process that I am not only done with 3 rooms in my house but I have turned all my family onto her as well."

Cyndy, Texas

"I love that I have plan to work with now, I haven't started my project yet but am excited to do it in pieces when I can, just knowing I have the plan has made me feel better already."

Pam, NY

Staying In!

I think "staying in" has become the new "going out", and I don't think that is a bad thing at all.

A lot of us work away from the house so when you come home from a long day at the office, it is or definitely should be your sanctuary.  It doesn't take much to spruce it up for spring and create a fabulous scene to share with friends and family and the best part of said scene is that at the end of the night you don't get a bill.

Now I love my vacations don't get me wrong but I heard a new word the other day that I wanted to share with you along this same line...."staycation".  Maybe this spring you could have one of those and enjoy your friends and family, while saving some coin.
