Expert Help

I'm getting a tad nervous but excited about our first major trade show as you only get one shot at making a great first impression, right?

So what's a girl to do but to call in expert styling help. I was so excited when interior designers Carmen Darwin and Karen Devereux visited the Thea & Sami studio yesterday to help plan our exhibition stand. The brainstorming session left me feeling happily confident.

Look out for the September/ October issue of Home Beautiful as Carmen's home is featured. To find out more about Carmen and her services, visit In There Out There. She shares some great home design tips here.

You may be interested in knowing that Karen of KD Designs has recently written a book entitled "I'm Over It" that highlights the process to complete a new home build, renovation or mini make-over without going insane! Buy the book here.

Speaking of books, I have been reading and highly recommend "Exhibitions: A Complete Guide", especially written for successfully exhibiting in the Australian Market. Available for purchase from Expertise Events, the book covers topics such as selecting your stand position, budget and promotions.
