You can't go wrong with Wreaths

Great as gifts or to add a personal touch to your own home.

I love wreathes.  Period.  I like to make them, I like to add flowers to them, and I like to customize them for gifts for friends.  They are an easy piece of wall art to put anywhere in the home.  Recently I decided to change up some wall décor in my own home and bought four good-sized wreaths on magnoliamarket.com (I love the Gaines!).  When I'm hanging anything on a wall I can be very picky and have to make sure it will flow throughout the house.  It takes me awhile for my own home anyway to decide what will go up.  I ended up hanging a big wreath over my couch and then two entering my room.  The three images below are of wreaths that I gifted to friends.  Moral of the story here, I don’t think you can go wrong with wreathes whether you are looking to spice up your own décor, or just have some fun making gifts for friends and family!

Let AER Interiors take care of Holiday Planning and Décor so you can focus on spending time with your loved ones.

I would love to host a holiday at my home, it has always been something I think about when the holidays come around.  That’s what gave me the idea to offer holiday planning as a part of my interior design services.  Since my holidays are very quiet and low key, how wonderful would it be to be able to decorate for a client!  I can help absorb and divert that stress away from a client or even provide relief if they are the ones that want to host, but may not know where to start the process.  Plus shopping for the holidays is just plain fun!  I have never found myself stressed about it whatsoever, it has always proved to be nothing but pure joy! Contact me today so I can take care of the stresses of Holiday Planning and Décor, so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the holidays with your loved ones!

Why consulting an Interior Designer is important

Consulting an Interior design professional is always a good way to answer any questions you have about the process.

Consultations are important when beginning a project of any size.  When I meet with clients, the first thing I ask is what kind of style or overall look are you going for?  It's important to be on the same page from the very get go.  Lots of questions, patience, trust, and honesty is key in creating a feel that not only the client loves, but that captures the unique style of the designer as well.  This helps the designer deliver a room or space to the client that instantly feels like home.  Contact me to schedule a consultation so we can start designing your dream home today!

Staging your home to sell in a timely manner

The importance of staging your home so it appeals to virtually everyone that walks in the door.

​When it comes time to sell your house, especially if you are selling it yourself (FSBO), it can become a bit overwhelming.  I had to make sure my house was spotless everyday so potential buyers would fall in love as soon as they walked in the door.  This picture represents the staging I did in my living room when we were selling our house in the summer of 2014.  I kept the wall art very simple as you can see.  The paint color I chose was a greige, which I felt was a very neutral tone for the room.  I didn’t need to remove a lot of personal things from this space because I kept the décor in this house very simple.  I moved the furniture to each side of the room to give it an open concept feel and make the room feel bigger.  It kind of goes without saying but this is one of those "treat it as if you were the person interested in buying" and create the first impression you want to make as the potential buyer of your home walks in the front door for the first time!

Simple Bathroom Upgrade

How paint, a new light fixture, and a touch of love can transform a bathroom in a matter of hours.

A few years ago my spouse and I were planning on selling our house and wanted to do some upgrades that were within our budget.  This particular upgrade was on the half bathroom located between the master bedroom and laundry room.  It originally was a light yellow paint color and the faucet was the only oil-rubbed bronze hardware anywhere.  I decided to go with a burnt orange paint color to really bring out the accents in the hardware and chose all oil-rubbed bronze hardware from the light fixture to the soap dispenser; all hardware in this bathroom is oil-rubbed bronze (we even found a nice recessed toilet paper holder for less than $20).  All hardware was purchased at our local Menards and all the items were reasonably priced.  The décor was purchased at either second hand stores or at the dollar store, and of course I added a touch of style with a few complimentary colors that brought it all together. It's like a fall themed bathroom that was completely transformed for under $100!

DIY Crate Shelving

How to make your own shelving out of wooden crates.

Crate Shelving is a budget friendly DIY project.  This project came about for me last summer, I had moved from a place that had built in shelving that I was able to put my books on and add some décor.  I had my box of books in the corner of my living room with nowhere to go.  I searched Pinterest and found this crate project and thought genius.  I went to Home Depot bought a few crates, a sponge tipped brush, and a dark stain/poly finish .  I found Home Depot had the most reasonably priced unfinished crates.  You will also need a clean tarp to work on.  I started with the outside of the crate first and worked my way to the inside, this took a few hours.  I let it air-dry outside for a few days, as the stain smell can be pretty strong.  I repeated this with 4 crates.  It’s a good way to stay organized and give the home a bit of a rustic feel. You can also add some pictures and accents to give it a more cozy feel.
