Dear Decorator: Home Decorating & Second Guessing Yourself? Be Confident - The 7 Reasons Your Opinion Is 10x More Valuable Than Anyone Else's

Dear Abby, I mean Wendy & Lyndsay,

I’m ready to start decorating my home.
After years of waiting, I’ve decided I deserve rooms I love… but I’m NOT a decorator.

At work or home I create a plan and then execute it.  Sadly, with decorating I don't even know where to start.
I want that same kind of step-by-step organization for my decorating projects.

Because I’m on a budget and don't want a case of buyer's remorse!
And - I can’t afford to make mistakes.

Everyone I talk to has a different opinion. I have already asked my bestie, mom, AND sister. They ALL
have different ideas and decorating styles. 

HELP! 

I’m confused and frustrated - about who I should listen to?
I want to get started ASAP - but I’m afraid of going in the wrong direction and regretting my decisions. 

Can you offer me any advice?

Signed,

Confused Carla

First, you should be proud of yourself - you are trying to get the “Right Answers”
before you head down the wrong path. Virtual High Five! 

Home Decorating & Second Guessing Yourself?
Be Confident - The 7 Reasons Your Opinion 
Is 10x More Valuable Than Anyone Else

No one knows what you like more than you do. 

• Your opinion is the ONLY one that matters.
• You are the one who has to live with the decisions… it's your home and sanctuary.
• You’re unique. You deserve exactly what you want. Not someone else's vision. 
  
  • FYI: We realize you may not know exactly what you’re looking for today - but that’s an easy fix. We’ll give you some free resources in a minute - to make that happen.

You’re going to get “Conflicting Opinions” and “DRAMA.”

• Too many opinions lead to overwhelm.

• It's a distraction - from what you need to be doing.

• It undermines your confidence… and leads to 2nd guessing yourself. 

• It puts pressure and stress on you - no one needs more of that.

• Allison says to do this… Corine says to do that. Who wants the DRAMA!

Friends and family Do NOT know your design style or your private lifestyle. 

• Everyone has a favorite style and knows what they FEEL comfortable in.

• Your family and friends have THEIR favorites BUT there's a 99.9% chance it is not going to be right for you! 

They are NOT decorators, and will not be aware of the newest trends and materials.

• Let’s make this easy. If someone offers you advice - think about what you’ve seen in their home. 
• Do they have a home you want to duplicate? Probably not. 🙂
• Remember you’ve been waiting a long time for this - make it your own.

They won’t know your budget.

• Everything you do will be based on what you can afford.
• That’s intimate and very private information.
• There’s no reason to waste time on anything that doesn’t fit into your plan.

These 4 things will help you learn what you love and give you the
confidence you’re making good decisions.
