Dog Days Are Upon Us

The summer is here!  Now come all the birthday parties, graduations, baby showers, babies, wedding showers, weddings, etc.  Is your house ready?

~ Are you embarrassed by your limp and flat throw pillows?

~ Have your cats clawed your rugs a little too much over the winter?

~ Are your drapes or curtains a few years past outdated?

~ Have your 'nesting' instincts kicked in?  Do you want to have the perfect (yet affordable and very DIY) nursery but your major was Chemistry and not Art/Design? 

~ Are your kids going away to college (or better yet, moving out)?  Are you overwhelmed by the possibilities of what to do with all that free space?!

Now is the perfect time to get some help! It's hot outside, thoughts of sitting out in the sun make it harder and harder to get work done and you are busy just trying to plan all the upcoming events.  So call/email me today! Let me help take a load off your back AND give you the space you desire.  

*Mother-in-laws' can be tough enough, let's make them proud this year!
