Hey friend!

In this week's podcast I'm chatting with Amy who wants her home to feel bright and airy, but she has a problem. The dark kitchen cabinets, the black countertop and the black tile floor, along with the black dining table are all keeping her from realizing her goals. But with no room in the budget to make these BIG foundational changes to her home, Amy is wanting to know her options. 

Amy has a couple options: 

1. Spend a lot of money she doesn't have replacing everything in the style that she likes it now (not a feasible option). 

2. Do nothing and continue hating her home and the way it looks, waiting and wishing for the day when the funds are available for option 1. 

3. Learn which changes she can make to lighten up her space, using what she currently has and bringing in supporting items to lighten her open concept home WHILE making it look cohesive. 

Option 3 may sound too good to be true, but the truth is we often times only see option 1 and option 2 as likely possibilities. When you work within your own understanding of a skill, sometimes you don't see the third option. 

Decorating SOS Coaching Calls are meant to help you see the third option. They're designed to help you get unstuck in what ever is keeping you from reaching your home goals. 

What did Amy learn? She actually has a really great start at having a light and airy home. There's no need to paint anything. And the black table that she though was a bully - the recommendation was to actually keep it as is, but to change up other things in the room. 

You'll hear my strategy for combatting darkness, how furniture carries a visual weight with it and how strategic layers will not only make her space feel lighter and brighter, but more cozy too. And all of those suggested changes will help her bully of a kitchen feel more cohesive with the rest of her home.
