A LIFELONG DREAM
Deb has always had an eye for detail, especially when it comes to home décor. She once considered becoming an interior designer, but eventually made a career out of working with home goods and décor manufacturers who sold their products to Target Corporation.
Owning and curating her own home décor store was always a lifelong dream of hers and that dream came true in the Fall of 2020 when Deb opened Blinded By The Light in Liberty Hill.
BRING STYLE TO LIFE
Deb strives to provide a unique shopping experience for every customer who comes through her door. “I don’t want my customers to see the same old décor so many of the big box stores have; all items I carry are in limited quantity. I want my clients to feel special about their purchase, and not worry about their neighbors having the same exact piece.”
When asked how she chooses the items for her shop, Deb said, “It’s all about finding the right vendors to work with that provide unique, good quality items. Not only do I try to support other local or US manufacturers, I don’t order my products online. I have to see it, touch it and feel it, so I know my customers are getting top quality pieces.”
To some, home decorating can be overwhelming, so we asked Deb how she overcomes this challenge. “Changing the decor in your home does not always mean that you are taking everything out and starting all over. The home decor that best suits you should be an expression of your personality. You can make a big statement just by simply adding stunning wall artwork or an accent chair in a vibrant color.”
Here are some simple decorating tips Deb suggests that are easy to do. Large Wall Art: Having one large piece of art provides an anchor to your space that draws focus and pulls your design together. Large Mirrors: A giant wall mirror makes a room feel spacious and bright and the sunlight can be reflected as another light source to open up your room. Bringing the Outdoors In: Natural wood finishes mixed with earthy color pallets create a tranquil space. Brass Accents: Yes, brass is back in vogue, it’s time to em-brass it! Brass creates warmth and adds a pop of shine in monotone color schemes.
IS HERE TO HELP YOU LIVE BEAUTIFULLY
