When you look around your home, what do you see? Does your bedroom invoke a feeling of soothing calm? Is your guest room reminiscent of a chic hotel? Can you entertain in your dining room with ease? Even if a few of the rooms in your home feel functional, finished and full of style, everyone has a space that just isn't meeting the needs and expectations of its occupants. It is quite common to have an eye for design but struggle with executing the ideas we see.

Feng Shui and decluttering shift the energy of your place, which in turn shifts the energy and circumstances of your life. You might have heard the quote, “Home is not a place, it’s a feeling”, but how can you make sure this feeling is as good as it can possibly be? Your home should be your safe place, but for some, it feels like a place where they are stuck in old thoughts, stubborn habits, and stalled life goals.

Reese’s Southern heritage informs her whole life, and she loves sharing the joys of Southern living with practically everyone she meets.

Beekeeping is an old practice that even the ancient Egyptians liked to do. In essence, beekeeping really means nurturing and supporting adult bee populations that produce honey and other bee products such as beeswax or royal jelly. Beekeeping can be extremely rewarding as a hobby, and there’s nothing quite so delicious as homegrown honey. But you should also keep in mind that beekeeping is no walk in the park - you need all the help you can get.

Perfect Newbie Choice!
The book is a fast read packed with nasic designer info and a bit more.. It seems to hit all the critical basis points. The Author includes 'to do' aspects of design that are super helpful. I have the feeling I will be referring back to this multiple times as I work on my home projects. The budget process was just one of the this key parts u felt more helpful then I originally would have thought. If you've got a couple of successful projects under your belt ; I'd assume a more advanced book is what you're looking for. Being new to Interior Design, I couldn't imagine a better read.person
