Don't Sweat It STYLE it!
Are you a collector? Do you have a passion for dishes, or linens or something else? Let's talk about how to collect without becoming a hoarder. What are the do's and don'ts of collecting?
First, try to curate your collections so that you just have your favorite pieces, the best of the best. You don't need a hundred items to make it a curated collection. Next try to do a write up on the items for future generations. Why are you collecting the items? What is their importance to you or your family? Make a note of anything of a large monetary value so your family will know. If you suspect your collection is worth a lot of money, have it appraised, then consider securing a rider on your insurance policy for the items, so they will be covered in case of loss.
We also encourage people to display their items and if possible, use them. I collect dishes, and I try to use them often. Boxing things and putting them in the attic is not a good way to enjoy them.

Customer Reviews
Perfect timing
Moving into our dream home and looking to really style this one differently than our prior home. I couldn’t have found this podcast at a more perfect time. Simple in detail realistic tips away from trends and using classics along side current pieces is highly encouraging to someone who’s just tipping her towels into design. Thankful and listening to all the episodes makes me feel confident and ready to FULLY ENJOY this be decor adventure.
Love this podcast!
I love listening to this podcast on my morning walk! Then I can’t wait to get home a try out some of the new ideas I have heard. Thanks Kelly and Anita! I’m a 68 year old grandmother of 4 ( soon to be 5)! You’re never too old to learn!
Decorating Consult WOW!
I was lucky to have a 45 minute consult with Anita and Kelly and it was my favorite thing I have done in so long. Being on the phone was productive and helped me in going forward with plans for my dining room. They both had numerous ideas and we discussed every aspect of the project. I had an idea of what I wanted to do, and they built on my idea and brought such understanding of what I can do in the space for seating and arrangement of furniture. They were budget conscious and provided ideas that I can do now and ideas for the future such as flooring.
We weighed pros and cons of different types of flooring, paint colors and making the space look brighter than it does now. I enjoyed the design consultation and I hope I can get to do it again someday!
