“The best advice I could give someone who enters this business is you must have a passion for interior design and the highest goals to achieve your dream. I live by the quote, 'If it is to be, it is up to me.' This is a quote I heard a colleague use at my first conference, and I live by it every day.”

Decorating... The Professional Touch
By: Carol Donayre Bugg, DDCD, ASID, Vice President & Director of Design, Decorating Den Interiors
At last, for busy people everywhere & how to work with a professional to solve and complete your home decorating dreams in colors, fabrics, window treatments, paints, furnishings, lighting, and more.
Honestly, aren't you tired of spending your weekends pouring over paint chips, trying to measure your own windows accurately, fighting shopping crowds and unhelpful, unknowledgeable sales people, putting complicated furniture together, and deliberating over which colors will make you happiest?
Now imagine the fun and convenience of having your own personal interior decorator come to your home to take care of your challenging design project - with talent, creative ideas, and an incredible array of brand names you love, all to fit your taste, your style and most importantly your budget - that's what this book promises.
Carol Donayre Bugg ASID DDCD, a veteran interior designer who with her husband helped build Decorating Den Interiors into an internationally famous interior design franchise, takes you room-by-room into the homes of people she and her fellow decorators have transformed. Full Color "before and after" photographs show you what a decorator can do for you; and woven throughout is Carol's own fascinating decorator's story illustrating how she solved her own decorating dilemmas and developed the style and grace for which she is known.
224 pages with 200+ full-color photos, $35 hardcover
