I have color issues and an odd sized front parlor that I've been unsuccessfully grappling with for years, but I've always assumed that it was too small a job for a designer.Laudanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621811422619718771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31185452.post-91002998046501938852010-02-27T17:40:38.008-08:002010-02-27T17:40:38.008-08:00Great post.

It's so true; it's just not always necessary to completely replace things. Clients really appreciate it, too, when you are careful with their money like this - and it leaves more to use on other parts of the project when it's possible to do this without sacrificing either style or quality. This is definitely a perfect example of why it's more cost effective to hire a designer than for a homeowner to just go out and buy new things for themselves.<br /><br />And yes, Calico Corners does have some really nice things, and they change routinely enough that there's always something fresh and new. I even got my own kitchen window treatments there. The fabrication quality isn't quite as good as my regular workrooms do, but it's good enough for the condition the cabinetry is in, which I can't afford to replace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31185452.post-33013483227441254822010-02-25T11:55:35.308-08:002010-02-25T11:55:35.308-08:00Some fun patterns and colours there.

The decor shops sell expensive stuff only it seems, so I will have to check out a Calico Corners when I am in the US next month.
