1. What Were You Thinking?


What Were You Thinking by Howard Wiggins of Hearthstone Interior Design is a fun, informative read. Wiggins lays out the information you need in a soothing “you can do this” kind of way. His writing style is conversational and pleasant. He gives you the tools you need to do the project yourself and he also gives you the tools for hiring a decorator if you decide you need professional help.

One piece of advice that he gives in the book is to decorate one room at at time. Once finished, move on to the next room. I needed to start small, so I decided I would redo my bathroom. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, I have included a “before” and “after” shot of the project.

Here is the sad but true picture of a less-than-inspiring room to start the day:





And after following Wiggins’s advice:





Okay, so maybe that isn’t my bathroom - but it could be! It is, however, a bathroom that was decorated by Hearthstone Interior Design.

I highly recommend this book. Even if you don’t want to redecorate your home, the information contained within its pages will give you the guidance you need to turn a room you like into a room you love.
