Top 5 Design Mistakes

Hey there! Thanks for clicking on this week’s video where I am going to share with you the 5 most common design mistakes homeowners make.

I remember a few years ago when I was approached by a wide spread magazine to feature my home and office in their publication. I had only been in my current home for a short period of time and by no means had done all the things I wanted to do to it, but I couldn’t pass up this amazing opportunity.

When the day arrived for the photographer to come and shoot the photos, I felt all the feelings that I am certain all my clients feel when it come to their homes. I am wondering how awful she must think my place looks, wondering if she sees all the dog hair I kicked under a table when the doorbell rang or did she think wow, I was expecting something much more fabulous? It’s crazy what we tell ourselves right?

So, I tell you this story, so you know that I am not bashing anyone here. I NEVER walk into a client’s home and begin by telling them all the things they are doing wrong – that’s just not nice. But I DO take note of what they need my help with so as I start to work with them, I can help them work towards something that works better. And that’s the whole point of today’s video. Not to tell you how you are doing it all wrong, but to show you how you make some small changes in the right direction.

So, let’s jump into my top 5 list of VERY common mistakes I have seen homeowners make over the years and how to avoid making them too.
