This family room wasn’t very open to the kitchen. By eliminating some walls, and some awkwardly placed storage, we now have a more open space for entertaining family and friends. We also updated the fireplace. #dallasremodel #ruthiestaalseninte

I believe each living space should have ottomans for extra seating or for foot rests! Why not make them stylish ❤️ #ruthiestaalseninteriors #ottomans #homedecor #vintagerug #dfwinteriordesign #antiques #homedesign #familyrooms

Mixing unique and unexpected patterns comes naturally to us here at Ruthie Staalsen Interiors. Having a space that has several different prints could look and feel chaotic, however we can make it feel collected and interesting. #ruthiestaalseninterio

A Misconception

“One of the most common reasons people don’t hire an interior designer is cost. The misconception is that we’re expensive. Someone on a budget may think an interior designer may not be able bring style to the space with small amount of money. We’re trained to take space, budgets, and the client - designer relationship into consideration when working on a decorating project.”

— Jennifer Brouwer Design

My Thoughts Exactly

“As a society, I think we’re losing the confidence to be different. And that’s a shame. People look, dress and decorate their homes the same. No one wants to be an original any more. How sad that is.”

— Bunny Williams

Quoted by Designer Bunny Williams

“I believe that people should celebrate the wear, scratches, and other imperfections that they see. This is especially true with antiques. I mean, if you were 200 years old and been kicked around for decades, you’d be beat up too. But that’s what creates the character, uniqueness, and personality of a piece. I don’t think that that visible wear and tear makes objects less desirable. I think they make them better and more interesting. Great interiors aren’t the ones where everything is new. Just the opposite.”
