Mix It Up

In my ongoing thinking about the Thanksgiving table, I thought I would share some gorgeous examples of mixing and matching dishes.

Of course - there is much more to a place setting than just the dishes.....

ah-more fodder for another post.......

But first - one more from one of my new fave artists/designers

Jane Hall is simply awesome. I am grateful to Marie Killam's post on her blog when she did an interview with Jane -Colour Me Happy Interview with Jane Hall

Marie is awesome, too - she deserves to have her praises sung in a post dedicated to just her. Yes, she's that good :)

TESTIMONIALS

"Karen,

I am so happy with all the (color) choices! ……Again thank you and I definitely will spread the word of your work. Anytime I have a need you will be my first contact and more than likely my only contact."

"Karen,

I wanted to let you know that we are having a great deal of renewed interest in the home and had some VERY nice comments on the dining room and the noted changes from a realtor that saw it last summer. She could not believe the difference and was VERY complimentary of the design, colors etc. It was not for her client due to the small back yard, but she did notice the upgrades immediately. You went above and beyond and really took a personal dedication to the project, being very sensitive about the seller's need to not spend a lot of money. The suggestions were very upscale, but not expensive and I think it made a huge difference in the presentation of the home.

"Wow Karen!

We have implemented several of your suggestions! Planted flowers in the containers out front. Rearranged the basement furniture and rug. Having the basement ceiling installed today. Removed the wine fridge from the dining room. Removed a leaf from the dining table and placed accent flowers in the dining room. Having a painter come to touch up the inside, repaint the outside door trims, and repaint the shed door. Took the pictures of our family down from the shelves in the family room and replaced with decorative things. And I'm sure I'm forgetting something...

....Your suggestions have been right on the money! Thank you so much.

Once we move into a new home, I'm sure we'll be calling you again!

Kind Regards, Christine" - Victor, New York

“My husband and I were ready to spend thousands on new furniture in order to make our living room more accommodating. Then, I saw Karen’s ad for a redesign and thought it was worth a try. Well – let me just say that we are planning on a vacation soon because Karen was able to address our problems without us having to go out and replace our things! Our room looks terrific and now we can have our grandkids over without them fighting over who gets to sit on the couch. Thanks, Karen!” Elaine – Honeoye, NY

“I have to admit I was afraid of your color suggestions as I have always been pretty conservative in that area. I am so glad I followed your advice. It feels like we live in a new house! Even our furniture looks different and new! I never imagined what a huge difference color can make and for so little money. My husband liked that part the best! We have already given out your card to many friends who have admired the change. Thank you ever so much.” Pat – Mendon, NY

“Thank you for helping us with my mother-in-law. It was emotional for all of us having her leave her home of 57 years. Even though she is here in our home, the change has been hard for her. Your caring approach in how you helped us set up her living space made more difference than you know. “ Sally – Conesus, NY
