“Staying in Style”
Yancey Seibert Shearouse, ASID
Follow some simple rules to ensure your interior design will last. Do it once, do it right, and make sure it reflects your personal style, not your neighbor’s. Yancey Seibert Shearouse, ASID advises that you find your personal style and create a design concept to follow as you have the finances to buy more pieces. And as people grow up, they educate themselves more, become more aware and their design should reflect that growth.
