Color Theory & How to Use it in Your Home

Often we say "Rule - Schmule" ~ well, something like that.

We generally like to pave our own decorating road and encourage you to do the same. That being said, there are some tried & true rules which when followed make decorating easier and the look better.

Before we get to far into our show notes, we're so excited to tell you that we have some fun bonus content coming at you the end of each month. We're choosing lively design topics, and we are both going to weigh in. Opinions will be flying. Will we agree? Tune in to find out. Check your podcast app for an extra episode at the end of each month. 

Today we go over one of these rules, so you know it, understand how to apply it and you know when to hold 'em & when to fold 'em with respect to it. Listen in for the rule, a terrific listener question and a coming together to help request.

The rule is the 60 - 30 - 10 rule.

Do you know of it? Do you follow it? We dive into the reason for the rule, what it does for your decorating, how you can use it to your advantge and a few ways to tweak it make it your own.

Our listener question today is from Patricia and it involves hanging a chandy...

Question for you ~ are you a 'swagger'? Let us know & listen in to hear what we think of Patricia being a 'swagger'.

Thanks for your question Patricia!
