Home Interior Design

Have you ever stopped and looked at the things that you surround yourself with? We had our insurance agent come over for an inspection for our home owner’s insurance policy. He commented several times about how he liked our outdoor decor ideas. I am not the type of person that picks a theme or style and actively decorates around it, rather I display things that have been given to me or that I have bought while traveling.

After the agent left I walked around our home and objectively looked at the rooms and outdoors. I realized that I had done a good job of grouping things together, but I thought I could use some new outdoor decor ideas. A friend of mine has a daughter that is going to school for interior design. She had mentioned that she is always moving things around the house and is trying to get her mother to try innovated decoration ideas. I called my friend to see if the two of them could come to lunch and give me some pointers.

My friend and her daughter had been to my home numerous times over the years. I was surprised when the daughter told me that it was partly due to our home that she went into interior design. She said that she always liked my outdoor decor and how I changed them with the seasons. My mother had always changed the decorations in the house I grew up in based on the seasons and I had done the same thing.
