Decorators Develop Unique Organizer To Help Furniture Consumers Decorate Like Pros

Furniture World Magazine

The Decorating Assistant (DA) is a stylish organizer that goes from home ... to the car ... to the store. Included with the system are easy directions on drawing your own floor plan, a magnetic surface and furniture pieces for fun and easy room arranging. "Our goal is to help you get organized, decorate confidently and look great," says Moening. Their website, http://www.decoratingassistant.com/ includes inspiration, tips, and free downloads to "assist" you in your project. The DA includes three room organizing files, each with a place for your personal floor plan, a display page for color coordination (similar to a designer's color board), storage for business cards, and 2 expandable pockets. One pocket is for receipts, warranties and contracts; the other for larger samples. The file holder stores the room files with space for magazines, a tape measure, wallet, camera and more. Simply place the file holder into the designer carry bag (which has a place for your water bottle, cell phone, pen, pencil and car keys) and you're ready to go. Easy to transport, the DA has a place for everything. According to Moeller, "Decorating your home is a form of creativity open to everyone. It's your personal touch that makes a house your home. There are no rules to decorating, just 'rules of thumb' that help simplify the process." Visit their web site for rules of thumb. Moeller and Moening will be in Chicago in March at the International Home and Housewares Show (booth 6468) and in Las Vegas in May for the National Hardware Show (booth 41829).
