Top Ten Decorating Don’ts

10.  Don’t keep silk and greenery more than 3-5 years.  If your floral arrangements, dried or silk, are older than that, chances are they look tired and dated.  Change out dated greenery and use less of it.  The trend now is palms over ficus trees. (Prop-tired dated looking floral arrangment)

9.  Don’t mount window treatments even with window frame.  Elevate the ceiling line and visually increase size of room by mounting window treatments 8-12″ over frame.  (Prop-show photos of window treatments mounted correctly)

    Okay more on the greenery thing. I think greenery is one of the most neglected items in a room. The dust, the dust! OH PLEASE!

    I have been working in a home where the dust was so bad that if I brushed by the faux plants I would need to change my shirt. Here are a few tips to help with the dusty syndrome.
    1. If it is really bad. Take the plant outside and hose them off. Let them
    dry in the sun.
    (Note): Test a leaf first to be sure it doesn’t wash off the color.
    2. You can buy a can spary made just for silk plants from a store like Michael’s and
    that is suppose to help.
    3. Sandra Racz one of The DSA instructors says, “The best and cheapest
    way to get dust off plants and chandeliers, is to spray them with
    cheap, and I do mean cheap, hairspray. Dollar store hair spray.
    The cheaper the better.
