Why I Wrote Free Decorating

There was a time when I was ashamed of how much money I spent on home decorating. Not because I don’t believe in spending money on my home (I do), but because I quickly fell out of love with everything I bought. It felt so wasteful. I just couldn’t seem to get it right. Even the things I liked were pigeon-holed into one spot, because they didn’t work anywhere else.

I soon began to doubt myself. I was trapped in a home full of decor I only felt so-so about. I couldn’t wait to replace it all, but I had no idea how to find decor I loved.

When I left my corporate job and we became a one-income family, I had no choice but to reign in my home spending. But I still craved the joy of decorating. I learned that the quality of my decor was more important than the quantity. If I picked the right pieces upfront, I wouldn’t need to spend more to replace them later. If I chose pieces I loved, I could restyle and rearrange all my decor for a fresh look whenever I wanted. With the patience of my family through the many mistakes I made and all the money I spent on the wrong things I developed a set of guidelines that made choosing the right things for my home easy.

The lessons I learned and my personal decorating guidelines inspired Free Decorating.

It was so exciting to see the first print copy of “Free Decorating”.

When I set out to write this book, I struggled with doubt. I always imagined a decorating book had to be a coffee table tome full of to-die-for pictures. But I wasn’t interested in adding to the wealth of visual decorating inspiration. I wanted to write a book that would spark decorating action.

Free Decorating is a field guide. It’s meant to be useful. It’s filled with tips, guidelines, action steps, and online bonus worksheets to help you decorate for less and eventually for free. It’s designed to help you discover what you love, so you can decorate your home with confidence.

    Congratulations on the launch of your book! I downloaded the sample chapter and enjoyed it. Can you please comment on whether and how much of what you discuss in you book is accompanied with photos? I’m a visual learner and photos really help, especially when it comes to decorating.

      Stephanie,

      Thank you. Free Decorating is a picture-less book…other than one very important diagram. This book is a practical guide packed with tips and mindset strategies to help you save money while creating a home you love. No pictures needed. I know that seems strange for a decorating book, but if you enjoyed the sample, you’ll enjoy the concepts covered in the book and the helpful worksheets to put the ideas into action in your home.
