“Mom, I would like to bring several of my college friends home for the weekend.” Or your husband says, “I would like to invite a business collegue over to our house for a meal.” Or your daughter says, “Could I bring my boyfriend to our home to meet you?”
If you realize thatyour sofa fabric is tired, that your rug is stained, that your early attic furniture is still in theliving room, and you do not have time to totally redecorate, here are some quick tips to lesson the horror! De-clutter, dim the lights, fill the vases with fresh cut greenery or fresh potted plants.
The best way to avoid a decorating emergency is to keep your home up-to-date before everything looks more than “gently used”. Set goals for each year for a plan to replace or add items to your home so that you will be proud to open your home to any guests who may make a “surprise” visit! Happy entertaining!
