Betsy visits Maison Decor!!

Truth be told, I called Betsy Speert to come help me figure out how to make my store look like what I imagined it to be~it was getting overwhelming, and I was feeling that my shop had no rhyme or reason. So I put out the mayday call, and Betsy answered!  I will tell you this~she is ALL THAT when it comes to being a fabulous designer....she created sense out of my inventory/stuff, and before my very eyes, things were transformed!! But since it is getting late this Friday evening, and I am going across the street to the Pearl Street Station for the steak tip combo plate with hubs and Colin, I will come back tomorrow and show you the befores and afters and action photos of my FAVORITE designer making magic at Maison Decor!!!!! You won't want to miss it!

    I'm glad Betsy came over to whip you in to shape...or your store that is. I'll look forward to seeing how you've changed things around. Looks like you are still losing weight. You better stop soon.

    Amy, how wonderful of Betsy to "come to your rescue"....I have been following Betsy for way to many years that I want to admit!!...She is so very talented and love her style...however, do not negate your talents...for sometimes, it just takes another set of eyes and ideas to enhance your vision....I CANNOT WAIT to see what Betsy has done!....does she make house calls to North Carolina?!!..

    Hi Amy,
    Can't wait to see what you do over the weekend. It is nice to have some help when you feel you need some. The store looks great to me. By the way you are looking fabulous! I had an idea for the back of the cabinet. You had mentioned that you were having a problem getting the wallpaper to stick to the cardboard to cover the hole from the TV. How about a piece of mdf, or the thin white boards the use for the back of cabinets. The wallpaper should stick to that, or could be glued to something like that.
