**★★★★★ — HU-330063073, Dec. 2018**

> Gloria is a great designer and by far the best I know!  She transformed my home from a rather boring, old looking house to modern, sophisticated and stylish English Tutor Revival.   She listens to feedback and pays attention to details that other designers would not. She is also a pleasure to work with!  I highly recommend her!

**★★★★★ — Carolyn Hodge, Dec. 2018**

> Gloria went above and beyond to provide the best customer service. She came with wonderful ideas but also listened to my own. She is extremely talented, professional, and kind. It was a pleasure to have her in my home and I look forward to working with her again in the future!

**Q: Need decorating help in shabby chic cottage living room!** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Hi! I'm redecorating my house in shabby chic cottage style. I've got a few pieces left over from my Arts &amp; Crafts phase (it left the rooms too dark as my windows are few and must remain covered for privacy). So, I've got a large wood armoire with my TV, a fireplace/heater, and a rug that I'm unsure about. The room is painted celery green, and my accent colors in this room are bright pink, petal pink, silver/grey, and ivory/off-white/white.The floor is original hardwood (dark), as are the baseboards. We have natural colored blinds. 
Here are my questions:
What color/type of rug should I get? 

What should I do to the armoire &amp; fireplace to lighten them, if anything? I'm scared to paint them, but...

Please help!

A: All of the previous comments and tips are certainly choices for the way to go therefore I have an overall important tip when using the "Shabby Chic"  style:   Use your washed and rubbed off finishes and Shabby Chic fabrics with basically objects, colors, patterns that you personally love.  Then remember that "Shabby," in the decorating sense, is not unorganized or thrown together.  It needs to use your selections incorporated in a planned way.  In other words, floor plans and attention to elevations (each  wall facing your point of vision) should be planned, focusing on elements of good room design.  Have a wonderful time, good luck and looking forward to seeing your finished results!!

**Q: End Grain Wood Block Flooring** *(in Design Dilemma)*

We have a client for which we're considering end grain wood tiles. Long known for durability and comfort, they are not often seen or used in residential spaces. We'd love to hear feedback from anyone who has - or any professionals who can weigh in on this topic. Thanks!

From Kaswell:
The basic theory of Wood Block Flooring is centuries old. The ancients used the end-grain of logs as "chopping blocks" because the tough end-grain surface could withstand the pounding of hammers without splintering. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, end-grain wooden blocks were first used in the USA for paving streets.

A: Great History; Thank you so much!!

**Q: Need help with putting dining room together** *(in Design Dilemma)*

What do you think of these criss cross cane back chairs (top left) with the brown Restoration Hardware table? I'm thinking about getting the chairs painted either a beige or blue gray and reupholstering the seat cushions. One inspiration is the top right chair, but I'm open to suggestions. Will the whole look work? Any ideas on colors?

A: Hi, The cane back chairs have a petite look; French style (Louis 15) and no matter how much you spend on them they feel wrong, and as you said, too formal for that table. I consider the style of the cris cross chairs "Campaigne" such as French Napolean with a base of bentwood.  I love the look but they tend to not be very strong and that base is conflicting with the table.  They might not hold up well for your boys.  I have seen these chairs made in metal....also a painted finish would be good with the RV table It would not conflict with whatever quality of finish is on the table.
