"What's Hot!" Newsletter

June 1999

Hi everyone,

I hope summer season finds everyone in good spirits and ready for a vacation. I know I am. Rebuilding our website has taken longer than I expected, and I’m ready for a vacation myself. My husband and I are planning a trip to the Smokey Mountains in a couple of weeks. We like to stay in a cabin and just relax for a week or two. I hope all of you are able to take a break this summer from the “rat race,” and spend some leisure time with your husband, family, or friends.

The “rebuilt” Decorator Secrets site (http://www.decoratorsecrets.com ) is complete. We invite you to re-visit us. The site is completely new, and has many new areas to explore. In this newsletter, I am not going to list the normal tips and advise you usually see, because I would like for you spend some time on the new site. There is plenty of new information to see. Below I will outline some of the features you will find. We plan on adding new themes almost every month, so the site will continue to evolve. Our mission is to provide you with the inspiration and products to help you decorate your home in a style you will be proud of.

We ask you to send us your comments (good, bad, and corrections; anything you see that would help the site). Please send comments using any of the info@decoratorsecets.com clicks you see on the site. We value your comments & opinions!

Please don’t miss the following:

Eight Steps to a Beautiful Home
Pro Tricks
Quick Tips
Best of the Web (changes every month & related to an Article)
At least two new articles every month (due to popular demand – we are continuing to run the article “He Doesn’t Understand,” but we have a new article – “My Faux Painting Adventure”.
New Home Buyers Tips & Information Page (a must if you’re buying a new home)
Decorating Made Easy Page
Color Scheme Guides
Helpful Books Recommendations
Glossary of Terms

We are also looking for “Feature” articles written by some of our readers and customers. There are a lot of women out there with a wealth of knowledge and experiences decorating their homes and we would like to “post” some articles written by you. So, if you’re interested in having an article appear on our site, please let me know at: info@decoratorsecrets.com .

We have many more plans for the future, so keep checking back and see “what’s new.”

THE WINNER IS....

This month, the winner of our free gift is Jamie from St. Francisville, Louisiana . She was selected in the drawing for a free gift, and she chose one of the most popular Color Scheme Guides (Burgundy/Taupe/Sage Green) which is sold individually for $19.95. She made her choice from the 18 Color Scheme Guides. We sell these Guides for this incredibly low price, but they are really valued at more than $500.00, which would be a typical starting fee for this service. Keep in mind we offer the D/S Kit, which includes 3 guides, the workbook, and 5 free gifts for only $39.95.

Here is my advice for the summer, take that vacation you’ve been putting off, you deserve it.

HAPPY DECORATING!
