I love bold color and minimal accessories/tchotchkes, and whenever I see a room "designed" by a decorator it has way more stuff in it than I would ever be comfortable with! That said, my husband has learned to indulge whatever idea I come up with because he's always happy with the way it looks at the end even when he's completely skeptical when I describe it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-decorator#post-1853220 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 11:30:34 +0000 hummusgirl 1853220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No I'm awful. I know pretty things when I see them, but I can't put it all together at all. We hired a decorator for our living room and it was the best $$ I ever spent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-decorator#post-1853211 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 11:28:07 +0000 LuLu Mom 1853211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't' know if I would say 'Good" but I enjoy doing it. My issue is I get bored easily so I want to always switch out which is expensive. I still have some rooms that need work but DH says no ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-decorator#post-1853057 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 10:32:21 +0000 Amelieisme 1853057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, if I had lots of money...maybe. But I'm not a big shopper and I have neither the time or interest to look around for bargains to find imitations of what I really want. We have lots of bare walls and a few empty rooms in my house. And I don't care all that much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-decorator#post-1853034 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 10:15:25 +0000 Freckles 1853034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am okay. I know what i like and dislike. I'm always moving things around, and perusing magazines/websites for ideas. We have a house fund, so we're usually saving up for something.</p> <p>My biggest hurdle is arranging art and developing a cohesive look. We moved into a bigger house a couple of months ago and it's been hard to decorate the place! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-decorator#post-1853021 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 09:56:54 +0000 teamjse 1853021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: Totally the same, my dh likes to say that I'm simple and expensive. Lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-decorator#post-1852968 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 09:27:48 +0000 .twist. 1852968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I don't think I'm very good at it at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-decorator#post-1852966 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 09:26:09 +0000 skibobrown 1852966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'm decent, but again, the time and money issues get me. A couple of the rooms in our house are really coming together now. (We've been in the house for a year.) The rest are waiting on me having the time and energy to get them done. Also, this house is a lot bigger than anywhere we have lived before, so we need to buy some furniture to fill it out... and furniture is expensive, so the house still looks a bit empty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-decorator#post-1852964 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 09:25:03 +0000 Anagram 1852964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like I'm really good at decorating for a non-professional. But I'm not good at decorating on a very low budget, and sadly...I am indeed working with a low budget.</p> <p>But if I can spend a larger amount of money, I think I have pretty good taste. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-decorator#post-1852954 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 09:21:13 +0000 Mamaof2 1852954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In my head yes, but I don't have the $$ to properly do it :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-decorator#post-1852950 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 09:20:06 +0000 fairy 1852950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really. I always see pieces/ideas I like, but I have neither the funds nor the motivation to actually do anything! Most of our house is just the way we bought it, with minimal decorations. I don't even have our photos hung up yet and it's been over a year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-decorator#post-1852921 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 09:02:44 +0000 Boheme 1852921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know what I like, and I'm good at mapping out my vision. I lost steam when I got pregnant though, so our master bedroom and our office are unfinished! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-decorator#post-1852904 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 08:47:11 +0000 autumnlove 1852904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am not. :( I need serious help in this area! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-decorator#post-1852899 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 08:41:24 +0000 snowjewelz 1852899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all! I know what I like from Pinterest though :silly: I also can't commit to anything that goes on wall. We've been in our house for a year and couple months, and the walls are still bare! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-decorator#post-1852891 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 08:35:41 +0000 lamariniere 1852891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know what I like. Unfortunately, I seem to like all the pricey stuff, so we make do. :wink: We've been in our new place for just a few months and most of it is more or less done, except for DD's room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-decorator#post-1852882 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 08:33:01 +0000 looch 1852882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am not talented, as in, I couldn't make my living doing this, but I have a decent eye and know what I like.</p> <p>My problem is a lack of time. If I had a week and a carpenter, I could do all the odd little things that would make a difference in my house. I also need to merchandise, but I am cheap, so I end up wanting to DIY but I have no time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-decorator#post-1852881 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 08:32:49 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1852881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm decent. My home isn't magazine worthy, but I like the way it looks. I like decorating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-decorator#post-1852877 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 08:31:08 +0000 alohaorchid 1852877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think so... it's something I really enjoy doing so I spend a lot of time looking for ideas, then shopping, then putting things together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-decorator#post-1852872 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 08:29:33 +0000 bushelandapeck 1852872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. For Mother's Day DH hired an interior designer to help me redo our LR and new nursery. It has been amazing! I would have never thought to mix patterns and colors like she has. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-a-good-decorator#post-1852866 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 08:28:00 +0000 mrsjyw 1852866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am not.</p> <p>We've been in our house for five years!!! And I still don't feel like many of our rooms are "complete!" And I don't mean on a revolving basis, I mean I've never gotten around to finish decorating! </p> <p>ETA: lack of time/$/laziness/etc. are my biggest hurdles! </p>
