Book Description
When people think of hiring an interior decorator to help them design a house, an apartment, or just a room, they often have stars in their eyes. This is the opportunity to live out their dreams-maybe not Architectural Digest dreams, but at least House Beautiful, Country Living, or House & Garden. Then they spend a lot of time and money, admire their gorgeous home for a week or two, then realize that the one thing they should have considered was making the place . . . slob proof. In Slob Proof! Deborah Weiner passes on to readers real-life home decorating solutions that were previously available only to her clients at Designing Solutions in Silver Spring, Maryland-the secrets her husband and two sons taught her through years of sad experience. When you live with 'slobs'-basically, when you really live in your home, without designating off-limits rooms and untouchable furniture-you need to choose sofas and tables, carpets and tiling, curtains and blinds, and every other element you can think of that can stand the wear and tear of real life and still look great. In Slob Proof! readers will find so much advice: •Decorate for the way you really live-not the way you'd like to live-and spend money now on pieces that wear and clean well. •Lifestyle comes first-toys may never be put away, clothes may always be thrown on the bedroom floor, and feet won't be wiped, so dirt and mud is probably going to be tracked in every day. Plan ahead so these things won't ruin your home! •If you've got kids or a black Lab, white upholstery is not an option-and beige carpeting is on the endangered list, too. •If you think your family belongs in an institution, get institutional carpet! •Colour is your friend-you can use it to camouflage everyday life. And good lighting is a close second-it brings colour to life. Got a sloppy spouse who loves to eat late-night snacks while reclining on the living room sofa? Do your kids use your once-gleaming hardwood floors for indoor hockey practice while you're at work? Do your beds double as trampolines? Let Deborah Weiner take you by the hand, from room to room of your real-life house, filled with comfortable, functional furnishings that will hold up to the way you really live-and we're not talking about plastic covers here!
