Home Decorating

I need to update the look of my living room/dining room area. I am horribly untalented in decorating and Trading Spaces is only on once a day. :(

Can anyone recommend any good books or web sites for the home decorating impaired?

Thanks!

I don't know about that. You've done a pretty good job of decorating your back:p
 
I'm an interior designer...

Start with magazines to see what styles you like.

Elle Decor
Country Living
Home
Metropolitan
House Beautiful

Tear out everything you like and it doesn't have to related to the rooms you want to redo - just find your look.

Painting is the easiest and most cost effective way to totally change how a room feels.



If you need any help - just PM or email me and I'd be happy to help direct you.

DO NOT BE AFRAID OF COLOR!!!!!!!!!! Remember that if you paint it and hate it you can paint it over. The first coat of a deep rich paint color will look like hell but will look great after the second or third coat.
 
How-to websites I find useful:

www.diy.com, brings you to the home page of b&q, a British home improvement chain, click on advice to get to their how-tos.

Home depot also has lots of advice on their website.

For specific diy tasks, type a query into google, you'd be surprised how many useful pages it spits up.
 
I agree...PAINT can make or break a room.

You're talking to a lady who painted her dining room a brick RED with sunshine cream trim. My hubby thought I had lost my mind when I told him what I wanted to do....

Know what? It looks fantastic! New fabrics and rugs on my hard wood floors TOTALLY changed this room from boring too OOOO LA LA! We love the new room!

Never be afraid of color! (buy a small can of paint and throw it up on the wall and take a few days to see if you like your choice.) BE SURE TO DO THIS SO YOU CAN VIEW THE COLOR AND WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE DURING THE DIFFERENT STAGES OF LIGHT DURING THE DAY!

Good luck!
