Okay, you found the perfect floral fabric and that red sofa you're coveting is simply "to die for". But, will finding these treasures guarantee that your home decorating project will be successful? Let's take a step back in time - you know, before you started the fabric and sofa search. Did you take some time to get to know the decorating needs and preferences of all the members of your household? If your answer is "no" - then oops! - your finished project may suit you just fine, but not necessarily bring the same glee to anyone else living there. This should be an "ah-ha" moment. Successful decorating projects always start with learning lots of important "stuff" about every member of the household. Once you've done your research and you are clear on the decorating needs and preferences of all the people residing in your home, then it will be time to start making some decorating decisions. If you have chosen to work with a professional decorator take note of how many questions you are asked about your family's lifestyle and personal preferences. What may seem like an "interrogation" is really a clear sign to you that your decorator is doing a good job.

Okay, you know you have skills in putting a room together. Your friends seep envy when they enter your home - they gush with compliments as to your abilities. But! How much time, effort, misses, near misses, re-dos and personal frustration went into that decorating project? Hmmm... So now you're ready to embark on another decorating journey - would calling a decorator be a good idea? Yes! Because the professional decorator has formal education, street smarts, experience, special knowledge, unique resources and time allotted for your project. Why should you deal with decorating frustration if your friendly decorator can ease all that pain. Even if you do nothing else, choose to get a "second opinion" from a decorator before your start handing over your hard earned cash on purchases. An hour or two of conversation will be an inexpensive form of decorating insurance. Remember that the most costly home furnishings you will ever buy are the ones that are mistakes.
