Shari Hiller — Wed, 02 Apr 2014 01:58:46 +0000

I have used this technique several times in different children’s rooms to bring a three dimensional wall element to the room. One time it was a huge sun with golden rays in the top corner of a bedroom. Another time it was a moon and stars. This time it is jungle animals, and I have...

Make Your Bed The Star of Your Bedroom Decor

Shari Hiller — Fri, 21 Mar 2014 00:13:55 +0000

For years I’ve taught that when you enter your bedroom, your bed should be positioned front and center because it is the largest piece of furniture in the room. Also, it is the one piece that you can design any way you like by selecting an upholstered headboard versus a wood or iron one. You...

Transform an Attic into a Guest Room and Office

Shari Hiller — Wed, 23 May 2012 14:06:47 +0000

Walk up attic spaces are wonderful for storage but they can also be made into all the rooms you are lacking downstairs! I have never lived in a home with an attic like this home. It had its own staircase right up to the third floor. The walls were finished, painted at least, and it...

I’m sure you think it’s crazy that someone writing articles about interior design would suddenly start writing about the psychology of parenting a teenager.

Sometimes it’s the colors and other times it might be the pattern that makes for a peaceful nursery. We’ll tell you what we did to get the best results. I know that not too often do the terms “peaceful” and “nursery” go together, but it is possible to create that illusion. And, sometimes the illusion...
