Why We Love to Decorate

Décor plays a huge roll in my life.  First off, my mom is a kitchen and bath designer so I feel like it is in my genes. My mom got interested in the business because her dad was a building contractor. My mom has done many projects at our home and it makes you more comfortable to be surrounded by décor that you love.  I’ve always liked decorating my own room and rearranging things. Painting a room gives it new life.  And like everyone else, who doesn’t love to binge on HGTV?  There is nothing like a good before and after transformation.  It’s really neat to see the trends and colors from prior years and decades.  When I watch old movies and TV shows it’s fun to look at the homes and buildings to see the styles.  Sometimes you wonder what could they be thinking-avocado green, harvest gold?  Other trends come around again because they are timeless.

 

So funny how hardwood floors were once covered with carpet now that is getting torn out and hard surface floor is back in!  There are unlimited options for materials and color now when designing a home. I  I am a freshman in college and my major is actually Public Health.  So although I’m not a design major it’s something I will always be interested in.  I once thought I would major in architecture since it has always fascinated me. I could spend days looking at old buildings and all the detail that you just don’t get with modern buildings. I look forward to owning my own home someday so I can design and remodel to my tastes and make it my own.  Thank you for giving me the opportunity to apply and talk about something I really love!
