It’s a New Year! What a great year 2007 was for Décor Coach clients! I’ve watched so many of you transform your rooms into places that you love. I only wish I had time to visit you all to see the beautiful results in person! I am so proud of you and your accomplishments.

It’s not too late to send in photos for the annual Before/After Contest. Deadline is January 31st and photos can be sent to jodis@decorcoach.com. Winners will receive a free hour of decorating and will be added to the online Décor Coach portfolio. In previous years, winners have been featured in local home improvement magazines and newspaper articles! So finish up those accessories and hang the art – it’s time to show off all that hard work!

If you've slowed down on your project, now is the time to pick it back up. If you aren't already one of my clients, join us as we take on our decorating challenges and create rooms we love!

Call me today to set up your session (919)423-3164. …            Jodi  

This Month’s Decorating Tip – “The Power of Words!”

Want a unique and stylish way to spruce up your walls? Have a long wall that is difficult to decorate? Embellish them with words! I recently attended an Uppercase Living party and saw first hand how fantastic this product works. The words rub on easily, look as though an artist painted them, and remove super quick - all without damaging the paint!

Uppercase Living offers hundreds of affordable pre-designed catalog expressions as well as the option to custom design any expression you would like. Your favorite quote, a witty phrase, or even your last name - you’ll find that Uppercase Living expressions complement your home with what they say as well as the way they look. For more information contact Amy Purvis at (919) 552-9092 or amypurvis@embarqmail.com to order a catalog, place an order, or to host a party. If you book a party, I will attend and demonstrate how to use this great product in your decor! Check out more ideas for your walls at www.uppercaseliving.com
