"Tell Dwell"

One of my favorite design magazines is House Beautiful. 

Each month I look forward to the I Love My Bed interview, the Instant Room designer rendering and the Master Class designer profile.  This month, the Send Us a Picture pages got me thinking. 

Each month, HB asks designers to send the magazine a picture based on a particular theme.  This month, for example, was "Your Napping Spot".  Since launching my business and blog, I get lots of questions via Facebook and email related to your decorating dilemmas.   So I figured why not allow you all to tell me your decorating dilemmas and share my ideas/solutions in a blog post called....

So, this first Tell Dwell post comes from an inquiry on Facebook from a good friend of mine.  She says,...

"Thank you so much for your inspirational posts! It really sparks my imagination and creativity! :)

I need help with my mantle and high ceilings!!!

My decor always seems to fall "short"!"

Here are a few suggestions.....

• Large Scale Artwork



Coastal Living



Siteworks

Better Homes and Gardens

Take advantage of the height with large scale artwork/mirrors and accessories. 

• Create a unique focal point with decals or wallpaper above the fireplace. 

Creative Home Magazine

• Create a gallery wall above the mantel and hang art/photos to the ceiling.
