New York...Here I come!

Well, I'm off to New York City to promote my new book due out later this year, "At Home with Laurie Ann, A Decorator's Guide: Turn The Place You Live Into A Home You Love." I can't wait to show you this incredible book! It's a combination of my two life-long passions: decorating and family. It's unlike any other decorating book out there. I hope you'll love it just as much as I do. It's a great book for everyone, including new homeowners or someone just looking for a change. I'll show you how to make your house a home on any budget.

What an exciting time for At Home. We're opening a new store down in Liberty Station in the heart of Point Loma very soon. This historical building will be filled with the most stylish furnishings and tons of our new "fabulous finds." An eclectic mix of old and new, done just right in true Laurie Ann fashion. Keep posted, we'll fill you in on all the details as they become available.

Keep in mind, we're still offering FREE In-home consultations, 25% off of upholstery, window treatments and fabric! Get your home ready for summer!!

Goin' Neutral~

Maybe it's the time of year. Maybe it's my mood. Maybe it's my way of trying to simplify my life. Either way...I'm goin' neutral! And I love it. Warm taupes, creams, beiges and whites with a hint of soft green and chocolate in the mix. My home feels larger, open, inviting, simple, warm and fresh. Basically all I did was switch out the brighter

accent colors with neutral tones. It's a whole new feelingwithout that much work or cost involved.

I've created a pallette of calming colors. I'm instantly at peace when I return home from a hectic day. And, if I feel the urge to add colors later, I'm ready. Neutrals go with everything. My bedroom is my haven. I have an entirely white color scheme without feeling too sterile. Be sure to add several hues of white including creams and beiges. Beautiful!
