Decorating: The Professional Touch

Honestly, aren't you tired of spending your weekends pouring over paint chips, trying to measure your own windows accurately; fighting shopping crowds and unhelpful, unknowledgeable sales people; putting complicated furniture together; and deliberating over which colors will make you happiest? Now imagine the fun and convenience of having your own personal interior decorator come to your home to take care of your challenging design project--with talent, creative ideas, and an incredible array of brand names you love, all to fit your taste, your style and most importantly your budget--that's what this book promises.

Carol Donayre Bugg, a veteran interior designer who with her husband helped build Interiors by Decorating Den into an internationally famous interior design franchise, takes you room-by- room into the homes of people she and her fellow decorators have transformed. Full color "before and after" photographs show you what a decorator can do for you; and woven through out is Carol's own fascinating decorator's story illustrating how she solved her own decorating dilemmas and developed the style and grace for which she is known.

"Believe me. Everybody thinks they know how to decorate their own home until they start. Carol and her amazing cohorts from Decorating Den can make what could be a terrifying experience into one that's perfectly gorgeous." --Bob Mackie, Bob Mackie Design Group, Ltd.
