Today I helped a client choose what to put on some built in shelves in her dining/living area. She hadn't really touched the shelves since she unpacked when they first moved in and random things were on the shelf. We emptied the shelves completely and then I asked her to look around and bring me things that she loved. At first, she had a hard time picking things. She brought me one or two and I picked a few I personally loved. Then she really started thinking about ...continue reading
