Description

Specialties

Decorating on a Shoe String specializes in discovering your preferences and identifying a design direction that would work for you. Ginny will present you with options within these preferences. Most clients find it’s easier to edit someone else’s ideas than to start out with a blank sheet of paper.

It is more important to Ginny that your redecorated space reflects your own values, preferences and personality than it look like a model home. Unless, of course, your preference would be to live in a model home. Like the Bluths.

Ginny’s personal style is eclectic, a combination of many styles. She likes touches that are a little unpredictable. «It’s a matter of pride,» she says, «but I don’t want people to think they have me all figured out.» She adopted that M.O. for purposes of self-​preservation and strategic surprise when she had four teenagers. «I also like incorporating touches of whimsey. I like to keep it from getting too serious!»

History

Ginny’s Guiding Principles:

Decorating and home home improvements are not the most important things in the world. For most people there are superseding priorities for their discretionary income: Children who need band instruments, parents to visit, grandchildren to enjoy, and many hungry, injured, and enslaved people in the world to help.

At the same time, Your environment is VERY powerful.

Your home or office can be welcoming, serene, cheerful, efficient, a unique expression of you– OR

Your home or office can be cold, institutional, chaotic, boring and can lead others to suspect that you have severe emotional problems. Many men do not mind this. Most women do. Most men are clueless as to the extent to which women do.

You can have beauty and order in your living spaces without breaking the bank. You can have beauty and order affordably — on a Shoe String budget! It’s about creativity and trade-​offs. Ch-​Ching!
