I am looking forward to redesigning my personal space.

This book has caught my eye and I’ll be purchasing it shortly.  Why?

(Other than the fact that we have identical color schemes??  A woman after my own heart *swoon*)

Upon reading the author’s (Elaine Griffin) interview on the web I was smitten not only by her words, but also by her approach to interior design.  I plan on making a few bold moves in the next few weeks and felt this would be the perfect tool to have at my fingertips — why not seek expert advice?

I’m thinking of tracking my adventures in mod/classic decor…we’ll see.

Here is a  blurb which can be found on Elaine’s website:

Design Rules is filled with all the timeless decorating rules, measurements, proportions and visual truths that design professionals use with every project. They’re the style secrets and trade tricks that make rooms look professionally designed and ready to be snapped for the pages of a magazine, and can transform any space into sheer gorgeousness.

With stylish, helpful illustrations and chockfull of tips galore, Design Rules is the don’t-decorate-without-it bible for any home, anywhere, no matter what the style or budget. From living rooms to kitchens, baths and basements; from color to flooring to lighting; and all the design elements in between, Design Rules gives you practical, straightforward, useful advice.

I’ll be doing a book review momentarily.  I can’t wait to read this!
