Hey guys. Thanks so much to all of you that reached out after watching my segment on The Nate Berkus show. What an honor, and I still am so very excited! In case you missed it, here it is. If you get a chance be sure to leave comment, letting Nate know that you enjoyed it! I know photos of my home is nothing new to you guys since they are always on GIGS, but its great to show America that decorating on a budget, with time, and affordable pieces is possible.
When we first had our home built I was 24, and had no clue. Yeah we made choices regarding brick, counters, cabinets, etc.…but decorating was not at the top of my list. I think I bought things like glass frames. We didn’t want to buy major furniture just because we had a house. My Aunt gave me the best advice ever after we moved in. She sat me down and said “Don’t feel like you have decorate it all at once. You have all the time you’ll need. The main thing is that you have the house.” That stayed with me, and saved us a lot of money that we could not waste. We were just happy to have a house that our children could call home, and that we actually loved from top to bottom.
High Fives & Hugs,
Tamara Styles

You look and sound great on camera! What an honor to share your home and creativity with the world! Congrats Hunny!
We already know you have great style and fabulous taste.
What impressed me the most is that you were only 24 years old when `you had your home built. I've been working since I am 15, started having kids when I was 21, make a great salary and at the age of 40 still do not own my own HOUSE!!! I own a Coop, but I would advise anyone and everyone never ever ever ever ever buy into a Coop.
You are doing a phenomenal job. Keep pursuing your dream. Never give up no matter how discouraged you may become by lifes ups and downs.
Best,
Colleen
