Decorating in a jiffy
Usually home decorating is an evolving process. But sometimes speed is of the essence -- say, when you're preparing to sell your house or you're just eager for a change.
That's Jill Vegas' forte.
Vegas helps would-be decorators fast-forward their dreams in "Speed Decorating: A Pro Stager's Tips and Trade Secrets for a Fabulous Home in a Week or Less" ($21.95, Taunton Press). The book is in large part a typical decorating primer but with a focus on getting things done fast.
Vegas guides readers through such steps as assessing a room, setting a timeline and shopping smart. She also gives suggestions for specific rooms. She offers lots of handy tips, such as ways to corral and disguise lamp cords and quick ideas for freshening a kitchen.
