Awards & Publications

We were featured in the Dallas Morning News four times in 2009! Here is an excerpt from one of the articles:

"KATHLEEN CLEMENS, owner of An Inside View Interior Design Studio (www.aninsideview.com) suggests:

Renew by rearranging your artwork. It makes a huge difference when you take everything down and start over.

Refresh your accessories. You don't have to make a huge investment; just add new throw pillows to your sofa or bring in new lighting, plants and artwork to freshen a room.

Charities are looking for donations. Give away items to the less fortunate and revamp with the new space and with additional light.

Box it. If you just can't let go of some items, box and store them.

Let the sunshine in. Clean windows, open drapes and move furniture out of the way to let the sun shine through."
