Anatomy of a Tear Sheet {tear sheet monday}

I am about to post something that is going to make everybody super happy and blow your mind at the same time. I have so many people ask me about styling their homes like the homes in a magazine. What I tell everyone, is that most of the time when I walk into an interior styling job the homes don't look exactly like they do in a magazine. With lots of editing (de-cluttering) and lots of added touches, I make them look perfect. Remember, most people really live in their homes with stuff, lots of stuff, sometimes homes are almost there, my job is to finish them off as if it were.Here's an idea of what I bring when I go into a home slated for publication:

You're welcome.top photo by: lauren rubinstein/ bottom photo by rob brinson both for better homes and gardens 2012
