I don't know if it's age(I will be 51 in January) or if it's the fact that I am almost an empty nester(my baby is a Senior in high school, I have two girls in college and my oldest just graduated college) but I have been feeling a little off-course lately. Actually, if I am totally honest with myself, it may be fear of change that's making me feel so strange.Change is hard isn't it…but, as I have learned over the years, it's necessary and most often produces great results. "All things work together for good." Love that bible scripture :) Romans 8:28I generally try my best to embrace change and even look forward to it but I am not doing so well with this one. It's causing quite a tail spin.

Browsing on Pinterest is inspiring. Here's a good read below from Maria Shriver about empty nesting.

I love number 6 on Maria Shriver's list for empty nesters!

"6. Parents don’t like me when I say this and yet it is true, YOUR CHILDREN LEAD NOW. What I mean is: they decide when to call and connect. Would you want to stop what you are doing at 8 p.m. on a Sunday and call home? You also get to ask for what you want and negotiate. Learn to carry opposites by saying, THIS IS TRUE AND THAT IS ALSO TRUE. You are building self compassion and trust."

Through this new journey of change, I have become aware that I need to do more than I am currently doing. I need to give more, do more and be more of the person I was designed to be. (I mentioned foster care to my husband a few days ago, casually of course. He looked at me like I had lost my mind. I could read his…). So for now, I am starting with Dwell with Dignity and looking forward to being a part of such a great organization that helps so many families. I feel like giving of my time and design talent to Dwell with Dignity will be a great place to start.

Design & Retail Workshops coming in 2015!!!

And…beginning again in January, I will be giving back to all of you and teaching new and exciting design & retail workshops! I am so excited about doing more workshops! I had so much fun teaching and sharing all that I know with all of you. I miss it. So stay tuned for an upcoming schedule of dates and classes. My Mom has always asked me, "how do you do what you do?" I feel like it's time to answer that question. But I can't do it without your help. Please take a few moments and let me know what it is that you would like to learn from me. I am happy to share and teach you what I have learned over the past 27 years as a designer and independent retailer. Want to learn how to pull a room together? Or maybe you need retail consulting? Let me know what you are interested in learning. This is going to be fun!!

And so it begins...

Cheers to change!

Kim

Ever wish you could have just an hour with a professional designer?

If you could just have a few minutes to bounce off some ideas, to get a second opinion on a paint color or pull some bedding together for the Master bedroom. It's not that you can't do it alone, but it sure would be nice if you just had a little time with someone who knows how to pull it all together, right?

Do these comments from other clients sound familiar?

"I would feel so much more confident in what I am doing if I could just have get a professional opinion. I just need an hour to go over things with a professional that knows what they are doing, just to make sure that I am headed in the right direction."

"I am so confused. I thought I had it all pulled together but now when I look at my living room it's a disaster! Color is everywhere and nothing makes sense."

"I have so many decisions to make. I am paralyzed with fear and can't make any decisions at all."

"What if I make the wrong decision on the furniture? That mistake could cost me a fortune."

"How can I ever get all of these decisions made for my builder in such a short time." I will never meet all of these deadlines."

"I have worked so hard on this space but now that I am finished, I don't like it at all. It just doesn't feel right."

Designing a room and especially an entire house doesn't have to be overwhelming.

  We are so excited to bring to you the wonderfully clean Murchison-Hume line of Housekeeping products!! While visiting the Atlanta Market in January, I discovered the line and was instantly smitten. I had to have it and have been patiently awaiting it's arrival :)Max & Peter of Murchison-Hume So what makes Murchison-Hume products different from other cleaners?Their surface cleaning products are based on Colloidal Technology which is the most eco-friendly technology used to clean oil spills in the ocean and all the products are 99% natural!! The 1% being the very minimal fragrance added to the essential oil.From Max and Peter: "They are highly effective, but more importantly, they are Marine Safe which means they have minimal impact on the environment and even boast "Down Drain Benefit." This is a safer, cleaner way to eliminate bacteria and the spread of germs and that’s what makes our products are superior in both safety and performance to most supermarket cleaners.""All of our surface cleaning products are composed of three main ingredients: Biodegradable Colloidal Cleaner, which contains surfactants derived from sugarcane (polysaccharides), Water and Fragrance."  Top-Selling product for Murchison-Hume is the "boys bathroom cleaner". Developed by Max and Peter for use in their boys bathroom. It's a fabulous product, smells amazing too! We carry the Original Fig fragrance, my personal favorite, and I absolutely love the smell! Fresh and clean :)Come by today and try the Original Fig Hand lotion and see the Countertop Spray in action…you will LOVE these products! The fragrance is heavenly and it will be something you cannot live without!    Click here for the Murchison-Hume Blog, The Practical Aesthetic,  for more reading and great style from Max! You will really enjoy Max's Blog!   Featured this month in Domino Magazine(click to go to the website!) Love Domino! Come by and see us and try the new Murchison-Hume products today! I am ready for Spring and what a great way to make your "spring cleaning" a pleasure :)Have a great week!Kim

Hello friends,I would like to talk candidly with you about hiring a designer. I get asked a lot of questions about the process so I thought I would share my answers with you today.Over the past few months, I have had the opportunity to work with several clients on their renovations and design projects. We have had so much fun and created beautiful rooms together! Clients are happy and that makes me super happy! I love working with clients and making their dreams come true. This is the one thing that I could do all day and never tire of it :)For most of the clients that I encounter, working with a designer is a new concept. It can be overwhelming and even a little intimidating. There is just so much to think about and Heaven only knows where to start, right?Finding the RIGHT designer can be really tricky; so it's best to take your time and do some research. Finding the RIGHT designer is imperative to the success of the project. It's important that you spend the time and money to hire the one that's right for you and your project.Ask ten designers how to do something and you will get ten different answers! When hiring a designer, be sure to check out their website, portfolio photos, and references. Be sure to pay special attention to their design aesthetic too. Does it speak to you personally and make you smile? Do you instantly feel a connection to their work? Do you feel like they "get" you just by looking into one of the rooms they have designed? If not…they are probably not for you. You should feel an instant connection to your designer through their work and in person.

Kitchen by Kim Hoegger Home

Every designer will do things differently; some charge for initial design consults and some don't. Some designers charge by the hour and some charge a fee based on the square footage of a project. And some, like me, determine the method by which they will charge after the initial consult during which they have determined the scope of the work. During a phone conversation, it may seem to me that you need full service design for which I would charge a flat fee based on square footage but once I have been in your space, you may very well be a candidate for an hourly design fee or vice versa. Give the designer the benefit of the doubt when it comes to determining how to charge. They know their business and are familiar with what it will take to do the work for you. TRUST your designer. If you can't trust your designer to take care of you and spend your money wisely then you haven't hired the right designer. TRUST in your designer and in the decisions that they make; this is a crucial part of the process. Without TRUST, the process doesn't work and it can miserable for everyone involved.In my opinion, meeting with a designer personally prior to hiring them is a must. You need to spend some time with the designer and get to know each other. The designer should be a good listener and be able to interpret your ideas. The money invested in an initial consult to determine if the designer is a good fit for you and your project will far outweigh the cost of the consult should you hire the wrong designer. Spend the money on the consult and avoid hiring the wrong designer and losing money down the road. I have heard nightmare stories about hiring the wrong designer and having terrible things happen - it's just like hiring the right hair stylist …do some research, hire the right designer.

Guest Bedroom by Kim Hoegger Home

Designers are artists in their own right. We are creative beings. We can visualize a space immediately upon entering it. We know instantly what the color palette should be and how to pull it together. We know precisely the scale and style that furniture should be and how to place it. It's what we do.It's why clients come to us for assistance.Hours of thought and research go into a drawing of a space before the pencil ever hits the paper and more times than not, many, many drafts of a plan are done before the right one is achieved. Same goes for fabric…hours can be spent flipping through fabric samples before the right one is found. I know that I personally spent almost a year scouring granite houses to find just the right one for my lake house…and it was worth the hunt!! I absolutely love it! In fact, that granite gets more hits and comments in my Houzz portfolio than any other product in any other project! Good design takes time and talent and that is what you are paying for when you hire a designer. Respect the process…all good things take time; and in design…time is crucial to the success of the project. Hiring a designer is like hiring the right hair stylist or attorney...worth every penny. HIRE the RIGHT designer!TRUST your designer!RESPECT the process!ENJOY the process! Have a great Thursday!! God Bless,Kim 

WOW...I was on the phone with my Mom today while walking into Barnes & Noble. I was going in to check to see if the March issue of Cottage Style was on the newsstand. I had spoken with Jodi, the Editor of Cottage Style, last week and she informed it would be out soon and that I would LOVE the issue! She mentioned that the article on my lake house turned our really well. I was really looking forward to seeing it.As I rounded the corner, still talking to Mom, I gasped!!! Was that for real?? Was that MY LAKE HOUSE on the COVER of Cottage Style Magazine??? Mom, still on the phone, gasp too "OMG, what's wrong? Are you ok?" I couldn't talk, I was speechless…words wouldn't come, I just stood there starring at the Cover, my Cover...I started to cry(right there in B&N) and had to get a hold of myself to explain to Mom what was going on. All I could get out of my mouth was "I'm on the COVER, I am on the COVER…" Of course, she had no idea what I was talking about. "the cover of what?" I was finally able to explain through the tears and she was soooo excited!!!I still can't believe it and I am so honored to have had my work chosen to grace the cover of Cottage Style Magazine. Thank you so much Jodi!!! What a wonderful surprise!!! Most of all, I thank my Jesus for the many blessings that he gives to me and for the opportunity to serve him with my work. I am so excited to share this with you! Grab yourself a copy today! So much fun!Have a blessed day :)Kim

I would love to have tons of classes in Rockwall so help me spread the word!!! The more interest we have the more classes we can have there!! Looking forward to it! For now, anyone interested in this Saturday's class please call the Dallas store and sign up! Love to have you all!!

Happy Monday to You!!

Sitting in the shop this afternoon, it's peaceful and quiet…and the beautiful sunshine is streaming into the windows. I have never been so happy to see those gorgeous rays of sun!! When I first caught a glimpse of the sunshine peeking through the clouds this morning, it made me smile. :) I am overjoyed to see the sun; there's just something about the sunshine that makes me feel so happy. How about you?

In keeping time with the gorgeous sunny melody that is playing outside today, I thought I would share a few sunny images.
