After my last post on interior design terms, my mind was racing! There are just SO many to know. As a quick follow up, here are 5 MORE terms to keep you well-versed in interior design lingo: 1. Leadtime: Got a design project in the works? You’ll wanna ask about leadtime. What is it? It’s the time between when you order and when an item ships. Custom furniture and other items often have a leadtime of 8-12 weeks depending on the manufacturer. 2. Scale: Everything in a space... needs to gel and jive. Understanding %22scale%22 is how that happens. Scale is simply how the size of one object relates to the size of the other objects in a room. 3. Bouclé: Texture is all the rage these days. Bouclé is one textured textile containing nubby, looped yarn often in two different shades. 4. Monochromatic: Don't be thrown off by the five-syllable word! What it means is this: a color scheme designed around a single color. 5. Niche: A niche is a recessed area in a wall or room -- perfect for a small piece of furniture or disguised storage, your designer can help you make the best use of the tucked-away space. Hope this helps you on your design journey. And don't forget -- if you don’t know a word or term, ask!! Agent DRE: 01858203/00677307 Broker DRE: 00745605

It's the middle of February, and that means we all could use a little pick-me-up. Spruce up your home (and instantly boost your mood) with fresh-cut flowers or blossoming houseplants. Here are 3 of my flowering favorites (plus a fresh flower bouquet tip): 1. African violets: Dainty, low-maintenance, and perfectly perky shades of purples, pinks, and whites, these flowers bloom almost year-round and will do wonders for your kitchen windowsill.... 2. Christmas cacti: Did you know these plants can live for decades? Unbelievable! A sucker for indirect light, these hearty plants bloom in stunning shades of corals, pinks, and reds. 3. Kalanchoe: Glossy green leaves and clusters of red, yellow, pink, or orange, these pint-sized plants give an approving nod to the coming spring. Sprinkle them all over for a fresh splash of color in every room. 4. Lucky enough to score fresh flowers yesterday? Keep 'em looking fab as long as possible by changing out cloudy water and removing dead and wilted leaves as soon as possible. Let your home feel like spring on the inside even if it is the middle of winter!! Agent DRE: 01858203/00677307 Broker DRE: 00745605

While this may be a day for roses, romance, and relationships of all sorts, I couldn’t pass up the chance to say thanks for your continued support, business, and referrals.

Hoping this February 14 finds you, too, freshly thankful for your loved ones and the joy they bring to your life. From my heart to yours, Happy Valentine’s Day!...

Our next FAF (Frequently Asked Friday) is often a source of confusion when buying a home. Let me clear it up once and for all! Q: Can you show me any house on the market or only the ones you have listed? A: Any licensed real estate agent (that’s me!) can show any home that’s listed for sale in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS)not just the ones they have listed. ... So while you’ll see an agent’s name and brokerage firm on the listing, that agent isn’t the only one who can show the home. (In fact, it’s advantageous NOT to use the listing agent. As a buyer, you need a dedicated advocate all your own. Not one already looking out for the seller.) See a home you like and want to schedule a showing? Stop thinking about it and get inside itsend me a message and let’s go check it out! Agent DRE: 01858203/00677307 Broker DRE: 00745605
