to Emily A. Clark...
and meet Emily a decorator with absolutely fabulous style and girl after my own heart with her great DIY projects.
My dream office looks like...
What I love most about my city: We live in a small town right outside of Charlotte, NC. I love the close proximity to the city, and we are only 3+ hours from the beach and less than 2 hours from the mountains. Lots of options!
What do you love most about your day? Being with my kids. I also like to eat cereal and watch my tivo'd reality shows late at night after they go to bed.
What is your favorite color palette? Currently, I'm stuck on navy & cream, with pops of chartreuse (as you can see from my living room).
When I'm not blogging I am... Chasing babies! I'm a stay-at-home mom to a 5-, 3-, and 1-year old.
What is your favorite space in your house? I love my office. I'm still working on finishing up the room, but I love having a space that's all mine, where I can blog, read, and work on online decorating projects for clients. Here's a campaign dresser I recently revamped for the space:
What are your 5 favorite things RIGHT now?
1. My family
2. My Church
3. Decorating
4. Mexican Food
5. Singing
( I'm a simple girl :) )
EMILY'S TOP THREE DESIGN TIPS
LESS IS MORE: Put away the little trinkets and think fewer, bigger pieces when accessorizing
BRING ONLY THINGS YOU LOVE INTO YOUR HOME: Don't get caught in the trap of keeping things you hate, just because you already have them
HANG YOUR WINDOW TREATMENTS HIGH: It's amazing how raising the hight of your curtain panel or shade can make your whole room feel bigger
Thanks Emily!
