The Holidays Will Be Here Before You Know It

Don't wait until it is too late, it is time to plan for that decorating project.

We know it's difficult to imagine the holiday season upon us while we are still enjoying long summer nights and getting the kids ready to go back to school.  The truth is the holidays are just a couple of months away and if you want to host them in style and feel confident and proud of your home, then now is the time to start thinking about the changes you want to do.  

Between shopping, making decisions, ordering furnishings and hiring any contractors that may be needed, now is the best time to get started on your decorating project.  Here are reasons why it makes sense to start planning now.

    Timing - When decorating a room you want to create an environment that is right for your lifestyle, one that offers comfort, functionality and a WOW factor for you.  In order to do that it takes time to find the right pieces to pull a room together.  Depending on your needs, furniture and custom window treatments can take up to eight weeks for delivery.  As you get closer to the holidays it may take longer, because the demand is greater and everyone wants their items at the same time.  You don't want to be forced to settle, so be sure to allow enough time for the projects that you want done.

     Budget - The other consideration for starting now is budgeting.  As the holidays get closer, you may have less funds to put into the room, but if you budget now you can enjoy the holidays in your newly decorated room.  Image the smiles on your family's faces when you reveal your new space to them, and how you'll get to enjoy the new space even after they leave.

     Stress Level - Lastly is the stress level. Whether we like to admit it or not, the holiday season can be stressful.  Between shopping for the perfect gift, writing holiday cards, attending parties and holiday cooking and cleaning, it can get overwhelming.  The last thing you want to add to your holiday list is more stress, so plan now and get started today on your decorating project.
