Southern Ideal Home Show

Be sure to come out to the Southern Ideal Home Show at the Fairgrounds in Raleigh next weekend!  The Interior Design Society will once again have their very famous Attic Sale in the Exhibition Center.  You'll be able to find great furniture and accessories at really good deals!  The Attic Sale is a chance for local interior designers and decorators to sale furniture and accessories they have that they weren't able to use for a project and couldn't return to the vendor.  I'll be working Friday afternoon and Sunday early afternoon.  Also, during the Attic Sale, there is a "Consult" area set up where members offer free decorating advice on the spot!  So don't forget to write down that decorating question or problem that has been nagging you and bring it to one of the designers in the consult area to have it answered!
