What's New?!

It's Pepper here. I'm a dog. My mom has been all sorts of busy, so she asked if I could help her out. So I took a break from chasing the cat to do her work for her.

7 Great Interior Design Tips

1. 2/3 of the Wall. That is how much space should be covered on your wall when using artwork. It is a really good rule of thumb.

2. Layering the Light. The rule of thumb is 100 watts per 50 square feet. Use dimmers, use lamps, and track lighting. Layering the different types of light and making sure you have ample light in the room is key.
