Sioux Empire Home Show Winner!

Hi!

We are excited to announce that Kayla Schnider won with $200 gift certificate from the Sioux Empire Home Show this past weekend!

Thank you to all who came out - even on Sunday in that cold, windy weather! It was so great to hear all about the projects going on this year - from building homes to updating the lighting. Everyone loves to make their house into their home, and give it their own touch.

We love helping to find exactly what you are looking for and solve those awful lighting problems. Stay in touch! I can come out and see your space and help you get what you need. We carry all the same brands, with competitive pricing - and give you that extra help you’re looking for.

Schedule a time to meet, shop the online store and start a wishlist! We’ll make this easy for you! ~ Jessica

Change

I was reading the The Traditional Home magazine tonight and came upon this thought from a Q&A with designers. 
Q: To that point, clients come to you for changes like that, yet they seem reticent to actually change. Why do you think change is so scary?
I loved this reply from one of the designers.
A: I think part of it is also believing in what you love already, right? The things you truly love, you're always going to love. You're going to look back on things from an old project and say, "I still love those things." So you can't let them instill doubt in you because they do that. They say, "Well, are you sure this is going to work?" or "You really like that?" and it makes you doubt yourself. You should never doubt the things you love.

I think that is the perfect start here. In this venture, my job isn't to put the things in your home that I love, but to help you find the things you love. They never have to be expensive, but you can love it when you see it. 
I know you know what you love.... It's my job to help pull that out and give you a home you're excited to be in, that feels truly your own. 
Not every chandelier has to be a big production. It can be just one and everything else is simple and understated, which would be beautiful.

For me, right now, it's this new chandelier for my new office. It represents this change in life. I found it a long time ago and still loved it. So I finally shopped around and found it for a better price than from the place where I originally found it. Deal!

The key is that I love it, and it makes the change worth it. ;)
