The Decorating Bible:
No Home Decorating Project Should Be Without It

I once heard someone tell this story:  there are two groups of people who are racing to the same destination and both groups are given the same map.  The first group just shoots out and starts running towards the destination but the second group takes a few minutes to look at the map and plan their journey.  Who do you think will arrive at the destination first? 

The answer is the second group, of course!  They took the time to plan.  They knew what hills and mountains they had to cross.  They knew if there was a river and a better way to maybe go around.  The first group just shot out and started running.  Once they got to an obstacle they had to figure out a way to get around and often times had to back track or even worse, go back to the beginning and start over.

Starting with the Right Decorating Plan Will Get You There PERIOD!

This little story relates to interior design and decorating our homes.  How?  Well if you don’t know what you are going to put where or how things are going to relate to one another you are like the group that just shot out and started running.  You may end up buying a sofa but when you get it home, it may not fit through your door (it happens more than you might think!) and if you fix this you may then find the perfect lamp but you have no money left because you blew your budget on the sofa that didn’t fit through the door. 

There are obstacles in every decorating project and if anyone EVER tells you that it was smooth and there were NO problems, they are LYING!!!!  There are always problems but if you are organized and have planned how your decorating project will look, you will be able to tackle the problems with ease and tremendous amounts of success.

The Decorating Bible is an ebook I wrote (yes, I know shameless plug) because I wanted to teach the world how to decorate, step by step, so you would know how to arrange furniture, what needed to go on the bookshelves, how much money you had to spend, to make sure the sofa would fit into the house before you fell in love with it, plus so much more!!!! 

The listing of chapter titles below will show you this is a decorating book that teaches you the in’s and out’s of how a professional interior designer approaches every detail in decorating a room or home each step of the way:

      ·        Chapter One: I Think I Can, I Think I Can, I Think I Can
·        Chapter Two: I Want What I Want When I Want It, But What Do I REALLY Want?
·        Chapter Three: Let's Get Organized!
·        Chapter Four: Who, What, Where, When and How??? Questions, questions, questions!
·        Chapter Five: Floor Plans Are the Maps of Our Homes
·        Chapter Six: The How To’s of Furniture Arrangement!
·        Chapter Seven: Selecting Furniture
·        Chapter Eight: The How To's of Color & Pattern
·        Chapter Nine: Windows, Your Eyes to the World: Curtains, Coverings & Treatments
·        Chapter Ten: Your Walls Can Talk! They Are Telling You to Put Artwork HERE!
·        Chapter Eleven: Placing Accessories
·        Chapter Twelve: So, now you want to be an interior designer?
·        Chapter Thirteen: Wow!!! You made it!!!

I know there are many books on the internet and in your bookstores that claim to teach you how to decorate in a shabby way or in a traditional way or just basic interior design techniques but I have been hard pressed to find ONE book that walks you through each step a designer takes when designing a home.  I know because I have read most of them while in school and out.  I wrote this book as I worked on projects for clients, I made notes and I followed my own steps as outlined in The Decorating Bible.

The book is cheap, $19.99.

The book is easy to read, it is written in a fun and conversational way.  I have had readers tell me they could hear me talk when they read it.

The book is easy to get.  It is downloadable right to your computer as a PDF file and you can have it in minutes, after processing your payment, of course.

But the most important thing is that The Decorating Bible is essential in helping you know where you are going and how you are going to get there.  I cannot stress enough the importance of taking a bit of time to make decisions now so that you will not have a major crisis later. 

The Decorating Bible will help you get all your ducks in a row so you know exactly what you want before you set out blazing trails and hit a mountain or a river and have to turn back and start the race all over again.

Once you have purchased The Decorating Bible, downloaded it, started to read it, and started to decorate your room or home, you will need to take the next step and get yourself organized for your shopping trips.  To do this, I recommend The Ultimate Decorating Organizer.

After you have The Ultimate Decorating Organizer, you may want to use software to make this process easier.  Read reviews about different types of Interior Decorating Software.
