Decorating Dilemma:

Follow along with pictures of this week's decorating dilemma here.

First, Gail loves the Frank Lloyd Wright reference, and encourages you to think about how to pull more nature in. You can brighten up the colors a bit, play with texture a bit, and break it all up with proper sized rugs. Notice your surroundings and use that for inspiration. Our eyes go to the windows in every room, and the right lighting fixtures with beautiful oversize lamp shades will help add texture. Gail suggests colorful artwork to compliment the outside, and adding wood paneling with a little gray in the nook.

PS. Gail loves the bedspread too!
