I'm a little late responding since I was so busy yesterday, but here goes. A young woman in my neighborhood called me and asked me if I would consider coming over to her house and helping her with decorating. She said she loved "the look" of my house and needed some help, but couldn't afford a decorator. I was honored that she would ask me. I went over there and had the greatest time. I know you may think I'm crazy, but I was having so much fun!!!!!! I was over there all afternoon, helping her select things and rearrange furniture. We went to Lowe's and Home Depot and picked out paint swatches and rugs, came home, tried them, and they looked great. We also went by Linens and Things and I gave her some ideas for colors she could use in her guest room and bathroom.
I ended up spending 5 hours with her, and I was in heaven! I had her pull out things out of her closets and cupboards, and I found a place for them. I felt like I was doing one of those interior redesign shoes for HGTV.
She had warned me that her husband was very picky and very opinionated. We had made so many changes that I was determined to be out of the house by the time he got home from work, just in case all the changes were too much for him, when yikes, he comes in the back door! (Just as all of the accessories were in place, thank goodness.) Caught in the act, what could I do but hope for the best?
I couldn't believe it, but he loved the rugs, the paint colors I had selected, the furniture arrangement, and the accessories I had added. He was amazed at what I had done, and kept saying, "Boy, you are good!" My friend was so happy that he was happy, and boy, what it did for my ego! Maybe I've missed my calling! I could do this everyday.
