Accessorizing ~ My New Service

Accessorizing our homes can be the bane of our existence for some.  These finishing touches to a room can get so many in a tizzy or worked up that they just don’t do it.  This leaves rooms feeling like something is missing or that they are unfinished.

I try to offer people more variety in the services I offer, letting them know that I will work with them hourly and not just for a major project.  This can be a great option if you are just looking for some help in accessorizing a room or rooms and it won’t break the bank.

I conduct an Adult Education class at our local high school twice a year {Spring and Fall}.   I’d love to do a class on accessorizing, but they put me in an area that involves a lot of stairs and it would be difficult for me to bring in some accessories and set up examples. Keeping that in mind, I have a new service I’m adding to my menu ~ accessory parties!

Accessory parties take place at someone’s home.   They get a group of friends/family together, get the fee together from the whole group, and pick someone’s home to have it in.   I come in and work with the accessories that are in the home.  If you don’t have accessories, you can either pool together accessories that the group owns or an additional option would be for me to shop for some accessories and bring them in.

I am currently working with a client on several rooms.  Custom bookcases were made for the formal living room.  I will be shopping this week for accessories for these bookshelves and am really looking forward to decorating them.

Please know that not every space, surface or wall needs to have something on it.  Sometimes a visual break is needed.
