Hello Readers!

     Thank you for all your input from my survey last issue!  I got over 130 responses, and the vast majority of them were about arranging accessories and wall art.  Sooo... I'm going to work on some articles for you, but I've already got two written by others to refer you to this week.  I couldn't reprint them, so you'll have to visit the web for them... but that's not a big deal for some fabulous information, right?

     I must also recommend that all of you who don't know where to begin decorating, or are having trouble deciding on a decorating theme, or any other general "where do I start" type of question... read my article called "Finding Your Style."  Many of your questions are just symptoms of either A) you don't have a clear idea of what YOUR style is, or B) you think you know what your style is, but you don't have a clear idea of what comes together to create that style!  This article walks you through the process of giving you the answers to those questions.  Mind you... you can't just read the article... you have to actually do it, and it takes some time.  But it's a discovery process that will really help a lot of you out.  Try it!

     Also... there are still quite a few questions on color, which are answered in the various different color articles I've written.  I've grouped them together so they're easier to find

The list of articles:

     So enjoy the issue, and check out the advertisers!  They make this free for you.
Thanks!

2. FEATURE ARTICLE
     - 28 Tips for Hanging Art

     This is really 28 short articles explaining each of the 28 tips, and they are GREAT!  There are even photos with examples for every single one... which is why I can't reprint them all here.  But go take a look and bookmark them!
