If I had a cat it would say PUUUUURfect.  From a Texan client of ours commenting on some plan revisions toward the finish line of an extraordinarily extended developmental time period of remarkably exacting details.

INTRODUCTION

         Mrs. AG doesn’t normally decorate home interiors for clients – interior decorators can decorate interiors, for better or worse.  You can pick out your own comforters, cabinets, carpets, and colors.

        The Missus does engage interior (and exterior) home designing at finishing levels with clients, from time to time.  That is to say, The Missus can guide clients in thoughtful, experienced, gifted ways of designing your home interiors; she doesn't shop with you to find pieces.

        Here is a sampling of her home designer interior thoughts and work.

WHAT TO DO, HOW TO DO IT

Interior Design Mistakes  11 ways to wreck an interior home design, especially if you're selling or have a design itch you can't scratch where you're living now.

Decorative Tiled Floor  Masonry finish flooring can keep on giving – a high-end look, safety, convenience, and durability.

Decorative Wall Tiling  Most folks paint walls.  A few panel walls – partly, as in wainscot; fully, as in judge’s paneling.  Almost no one tiles walls, except in baths.  Almost. 

Monochrome  The rage.  The rage.  Long live monochrome?  Phooey.  In her home interior design book, 'monochrome' embraces not only color but also decorative elements - eclectic design in a home interior is quintessential American.

Tapestry  Gotta a big, bare wall?
