3 ways to save yourself from holiday stress

How to have a stress -free holiday

It’s the most wonderful time of the year.  If we’re honest, this time of year CAN be wonderful…but it frequently causes stress.  Thanksgiving, parties, travel, planning, baking, shopping….they can wreck havoc on our schedules and our peace of mind, if we let them.    For years my firm offered our Trees with Ease Christmas decorating services.  […]

Setting realistic deadlines for a renovation

Interior Design Deadlines

Last month, I flew to Texas to surprise my Dad for his birthday.  Due to a delayed flight, I missed my connection.  I was extremely frustrated because I was basically his birthday present!   In my business, I have learned that a party, wedding or holiday ISN’T a deadline.  While I missed my Dad’s party, I […]

How to stretch your design dollar

Mix of expensive and inexpensive tile

Here at RHILLC we’ve been busy with a variety of projects.  One of these jobs was incredibly robust.  It involved a 10,000 sq ft home that had been neglected and was in such disrepair, the entire house had to be lifted and a new foundation constructed.  The home needed to be gutted.  Though starting from scratch may […]

Organizing your home through good design

Trends from High Point 2018 furniture market

Gold and Metal Trend

When designers, decorators or furniture retailers talk about ‘market,’ they aren’t talking about their local farmer’s market or grocery store. They’re referring to High Point Furniture Market in High Point, North Carolina.  Earlier this month, when I journeyed to High Point, I had a shopping list for current projects, and I wanted to find new vendors […]

The importance of communication in a renovation or interior design project

I received a call earlier this month from someone who was extremely upset with her interior designer and inquired about the designer’s progress.  “Is this normal?” she asked.  No, I assured her, it was not normal.  After listening to her concerns and frustrations, I realized the source of her problem: extremely poor communication.  The designer did not explain the […]

The importance of trade shows

Design Mastermind

Every year I attend at least one large, national trade show along with a few regional ones.  I’m not one for trends and at Ruxana’s Home Interiors LLC, our mantra is CLASSIC, but while it IS important for us to keep a pulse on trends, that isn’t the reason I attend shows.  The fact is, attending shows allows […]
