Decorating newsletters - past & present

For a number of years now, I've sent a complimentary newsletter to my clients. Four pages in length, normally these were sent out once a year. My clients often referred to these as "keepers" indicating many times that that they saved these mailers which probably resulted from the fact that I always made a point of [at least trying!] to include useful and practical information that could be referred back to as needed and most of the material is not "time-sensitive" -- but instead highlights basic design principles. Each issue also featured a "Renaissance Recommended Resource" wherein I would introduce my clients to locally-owned businesses specializing in various home furnishings products.

So, for your perusing pleasure, here are the archived issues including main topics of information included therein (.pdf format, optimized for print - will open in new browser window):

NOTE: clients of Renaissance Design Consultations receive a complimentary print edition of the newsletter via mail.
