Design Dilemma #1: Renters and First time homeowners

Welcome to Trouver Design Blog.

Kathy's Design Dilemma:My husband and I have just purchased our first home. I'd really love to put my own style stamp on it, especially the dining room, but this isn't our "dream home", so I don't want to invest a lot of money. What do you suggest?

Well, Kathy, I can tell you that many people feel the same way. My advice would be to invest in certain "anchor pieces". For a dining room, it would obviously be a dining table.Find one that speaks to you, your "dream table", if you will. You can then make some less expensive choices with paint, textiles, etc., and even dining chairs, for the current space. A quality piece will work for the space you live in now, and will transition beautifully to your dream home later.
