Welcome to Style at Home with Danielle... the show where the homeowner makes a zillion choices in an hour and completes her home decor - making everything matchy matchy and creates a feeling of ambiance and warmth which makes her feel at home. Hmm... okay, not quite so crazy, but the last few weeks have been decidedly full of choices. And also of confusion as to which detail to start things off with... hmmm... does one first purchase the sofa of choice (would you like wooden arms, puffy cushions, firm seating, a matching chair or a cheap price tag to complicate matters) and then the rug (would you like cotton, man-made, foreign, eco-friendly or make-it-yourself rugs?) to complement it, then the drapes (floor length, panels, rods or hooks, see-through or opaque?) to match the rug, or the couch or the walls... arrrggghhh, sometimes the options are limitless. I definitely don't want to turn into Martha Stewart, nor will i, but there are times, like today when we walked into a lighting store (oops, i forgot to mention lighting in my little tirade!) and i nearly wanted to run out of the store with my hands waving frantically and erratically whilst i screamed out my mental agony with cries of "aaahhhh, i've seen the lights!! Okay, it wasn't so bad, i am getting into this whole decor thing and it is kinda fun... though i'm always glad to have a second person along with me to bounce ideas off of - Mom is great for that - we talked about so many little things that i even had forgotten about - what, you have to paint a ceiling? Or, oh, is there a difference between paint brushes - i just bought ones off of the shelf last time? Aaah, well, come on over some day and see where we are at - slowly but surely ticking little jobs off of the ever growing to-do list! Any and all ideas and suggestions welcome...
I'll take a poll on which colour towels everyone likes...
I've seen the light and the light and the light and the light....
Nope, it's not a marking for a crime scene unless it's a decor crime perhaps to put scotch tape on a hardwood floor???

I see you did not take my advice.... DON'T LOOK AT THE LIGHTS...
Haha... from the sounds of it, things are coming along with decision making? A little bit anyways? What's up with the tape square in your living room, I assume it's for a carpet. But the way you have your furniture crammed into the square it kind of seems like you're planning to build some walls or something... put up a hallway around the perimeter of your living room. Unique, but maybe not so practical...
I am looking forward to seeing you tomorrow!!!
Love Rachel
