Featured: Decorating on a Shoestring

Marilyn Grau is a decorator in the vicinity of Augusta, Georgia. Her company is called Decorating on a Shoestring, because she specializes in offering design advice to people on a budget, using their existing personal belongings and showing them how to add color, accessories and creativity to turn humdrum into magic.

She sends out a monthly email newsletter called The Shoestr, which she jokingly says is so short that she couldn't justify calling it a complete shoestring when she came up with the title. She asked me to be a guest contributor for the September issue.

Thanks for the opportunity to share my love of vintage modern furnishings with your readers, Marilyn!
