Business Strategies 101 with Kim Hoegger Home

Are you a small business owner and looking to ramp up your game? Are you interested in growing your business but you just don't know where to start? Have lofty goals but feel stuck, maybe even afraid to move forward? Is your business running you? My new KHH Business Strategies Series can help.Running a small business is tough, isn't it? You do everything from taking out the trash to forecasting the future of your company, you manage employees, work with clients and even do all of the marketing yourself and if you're an independent retailer then you're also going to market to shop for merchandise, then receiving and doing inventory of the merchandise and then displaying it on the sales floor. It can be overwhelming. You know you need help to grow your business but where to start, Right?This is Kim, and I get it. I've been my own boss for over thirty years and most of the time I love every minute of what I do. But it's hard - heck being "the boss" and being responsibile for running and growing a business, and sustaining a business with constant income is one of the hardest things that I have ever done. There have been days throughout my career when I thought I must be crazy to keep doing this!! It's just too hard!! But one thing is for sure, I am no quitter and the result of hanging in there, and also knowing when to walk away(more on that later) is a business that has served me well and continues to do so. I've learned a lot along the way and that's how this new Business Strategies Series came to be. The one question that I am asked more than anything else is "HOW?" Well, I am here to share what I know with you and help you build a better business and reach your business and personal goals.In my professional career, I've designed hotels across the country and as far as Bermuda, I've owned and operated several retail stores with local, regional and national recognition, I've owned award-winning restaurants with executive chefs and more than twenty employees,  all the while raising four children, maintaining a marriage and running my own nationally recognized and published interior design firm, Kim Hoegger Home  - and just recently I have achieved another dream of mine to design and produce my own textile collection which is set to debut this summer and fall in several major shelter magazines. I know what you're thinking....HOW??? Right? CRAZY?? Nope, it just took passion, guts, knowledge, grit and a lot of money(more on that later) but most of all balance because balance is the key to a successful anything.So, after over thirty years of running my own businesses with great success, then also making huge, expensive and sometimes devastating mistakes, I am here to tell you that I wouldn't have done it any other way and what I have learned even through what felt like failure at times, has proven to be exactly the right path for me and all of it has brought me to where I am right in this moment and where I am now is wise enough, successful enough, broken enough, and strong enough to share all that I know with you.So welcome to my new series called Business Strategies 101. It's a whole lot of things from blog posts to workshops and maybe eventually a video lesson or two designed to assist you in running your business, reaching your lofty goals and making sense of what a successful, balanced business and life means to you. Grab your seat now in the first workshop in our brand new Business Strategies Series beginning Saturday, May 12 at 10am in our new downtown Mckinney Design Studio.

Julian Price House - Hillside Designer Show House

Good morning all,It's already Thursday of the second week in February. Can you believe it? I feel like it should still be January, lol.In my last post I mentioned that we are over the moon thrilled to be working on the Hillside Designer Show House featuring the Julian Price House of Greensboro, NC. We have been working on this project since October and it is now in full swing with paint and wallpaper going up, cabinets being built, floors being refinished. It's a crazy, happy mess but so much fun. If you are following along on Instagram, you've been seeing some of the before and after shots. We will continue to keep you up to date on all of the changes we are making without giving away too much - we don't want to spoil the surprise. Let's start at the beginning, here's a video from GTN's "This is Greensboro" with Rosemary Plybon. I think you'll agree, it's an amazing home with enormous possibilities and promise. We are so excited and honored to be a part! Meet the wonderful new owners, Michael and Eric, here.Another interesting tidbit about the home is that is was featured on the HGTV Hoarders Series last spring. Check out this video for a glimpse into the show and to see the disturbing hoard that once filled this beautiful structure. Here is the full episode of the Hoarders Show featuring the House. Season 9 Episode 6 Sandra. The episode is $1.99 to watch but it's worth the price to see and understand the magnitude of the hoard and the magnificence of the structure. Highly recommend!Enjoy!!Check out our progress on Instagram! kimhoeggerhome on InstagramCome by and see us at the store this weekend, Friday to Sunday.Friday 10-5Saturday 10-5Sunday 1-5Storewide sales on furniture, accessories, artwork and the remainder of our holiday merchandise that has to go - and its good stuff!!See you soon, Kim Hoegger 

Design In A Day Workshops 2018

Hello friends and hello 2018!!A big hug and welcome to all of my loyal followers and all of you who are new to following KHH aka Kim Hoegger Home, aka Cottage Girl. I am so glad that you are here and am so looking forward to starting this new year off with a bang and dishing out some really great interior design knowledge, sources and just plain old fun. There's so much to share so I hope you'll come back weekly to check in on what's happening with KHH.For starters, we have opened a brand new studio in downtown Mckinney, Texas and are so happy to be there. It's a lovely space that we are honored to call home and we have the best landlord ever! We can't wait for you to see it and hope you'll give us a call and come by to see us soon. And I say give us a call because we are a design business first and we are not always in the studio - beautiful projects take us away most days but we would be delighted to meet you there  - just give us a call and schedule an appointment or sign up for our new Design In A Day Workshops. More about the new studio in an upcoming blog post so hang around, you don't want to miss a thing.You heard that right, we are diving in deep this year and sharing tons of cool stuff with you about how the design process works - how to select flooring and wallpaper, how to handle a remodel, how to design your bathroom and what things to consider, how to select a paint color(there's so much more to it than just placing a sample on the wall!). All the things that you've been dying to know! Well, we are going to share our secrets with you! Watch your email, Instagram and the Blog for information on the upcoming workshops. And if your not on the email list - get on it!! You'll find an opt in on the website, just fill it out and you're in.Another really great piece of news it that we have been greatly honored with an invitation to participate as a designer in the upcoming and completely amazing Hillside Designer Show House featuring The Julian Price Home in Greensboro, NC. I am over the moon excited about this project for so many reasons. Not only is this house on the historical register and one of the most beautiful and well built homes in the Greensboro area, it's also an interior designer's dream come true. Well, at least for me it is!! The house was built in 1929(they had me at "built in 1929" lol) by the very well known insurance salesman, Julian Price. I have truly never seen such an incredible structure  - the architecture is stunning but the manner and materials from which it was constructed is the most incredible part to me. I won't spoil the surprise by giving you too many details but STAY TUNED for updates on the Blog and watch as we transform two beautiful spaces within the Home. And...drumroll, we are debuting Kim Hoegger Home Textiles and Wallpaper in one of the rooms - So exciting! You simply must stayed tuned so you don't miss a single moment of this beautiful transformation. Well, here we go! Welcome to another fabulous year in design and many, many fun adventures with KHH. We are glad you are here and will be along for the ride. XXX, Kim

Cheers to 2016!! Part One

Good morning friends,It's been awhile since I have written a blog post, a long while actually as I have spent most of 2015 with my head down recovering from the mistakes of 2013-2014, lol. It's been an uphill climb my friends, I kid you not. It's been one of the hardest years of my professional career(aside from 2007 which is was a nightmare all of it's own and a story for another day).Why you ask? Allow me to share a few things wtih you.As an entrepreneur, my mind is always dreaming and creating. It's non-stop brain activity for me. It's exhilarating but can be exhausting at the same time. Ideas can be successful and then they can be draining. That's just part of the process. It's a roller coaster of a career. But, I am a risk-taker; I am a business woman who isnt afraid to stick her neck out and try new things. Hence, sometimes I succeed, sometimes I fail.Be Grateful2013-2014 was a very humbling experience for me. And although there were many wonderful and successful moments within the journey of 2013-2014, it was an experience that cost me a great deal financially and emotionally. I was never so happy as to see that journey come to an end. Seriously, there were tears of JOY when it finally ended. It was one of the hardest, most challenging journeys of my career. But beacause I am not one to dwell on the past, I look back and am thankful for the many, many grand moments along the journey, like selling a gorgeous piece of furniture to the PRESIDENT of Jimmy Choo, USA., and having KHH featured in PaperCity Dallas, LUXE Magazine, DHome Magazine and landing my FIRST MAGAZINE COVER ever! It just so happens that all of that wonder was smack dab in the middle of the worst business year and a half of my life. I was happy to see that journey come to a close and to take my grand moments and move forward way beyond 2013-2014.2015 has been a year of recovering from 2013-2014. And 2016 will join 2015 as another year of recovery. That's just business. You have to take the good with the bad. You have to "suck it up cupcake" and move beyond the past or it can really weigh you down. It's like they say, "if you cant take the heat, get out of the kitchen." It's just part of business. If you don't take the risks, you don't move forward. And I like growing and moving forward. So that's what I do, I take risks that allow me to move forward even if "forward" means learning a lot along the way, the hard way. I PUSH forward(because sometimes that's what it takes to get beyond our failures) and I leave the past in the past where it belongs.Failure is a bruisMy work is my hobby, my continuing education and my profession. I love what I do. I love to create beauty. I can't imagine doing anything else. Creating beauty makes me feel closer to God. I feel like I am my best me and the me that God intended me to be when I am creating beauty and using the talents that he has given me. So I move forward and create more beauty. It's just what I do and I am blessed beyond measure to be able to do it.Best Job coffee mugSo what does 2016 look like? Well, after much prayer, soul searching and planning, 2016 is going to be a year of a fresh start, a year of allowing myself time to breathe. It's a year to BREATHE; to take the time to RELAX and to EXPLORE. My word for the year...BREATHE. My action for the year...RELAX. My intention for the year...EXPLORE.To BREATHE, I must focus on my breath. Which means that I have to slow down and allow myself the TIME to BREATHE. If you have practiced yoga then you know that breathing properly isn't as easy as it sounds. It takes concentration. It takes discipline. So for 2016, I am going to practice breathing correctly. And it's going to take focus and discipline. It's going to take removing myself from things that I may find difficult leave but things that are not allowing me the time that I need to BREATHE properly. I need to BREATHE properly to be able to RELAX and EXPLORE.Breathe imageTo RELAX, I must give myself permission to let go of stress and fear and worry. I must be willing to RELAX because it's a tall order and I am NOT good at it. I feel a constant need to be busy, to be cranking out the goods. But this I know, to truly RELAX is to be closer to God. For it is in the quiet moments that he speaks to me and draws me closer. It is in these quiet, still moments that I am able to feel his presence in my life and know that he has control.Relax socks and coffeeTo EXPLORE, I must first be willing to take the journey. I must be willing to step out in faith and reach beyond what I can see. To fully EXPLORE in 2016, I must have the faith to move beyond my comfort zone and embrace the fear and challenge of new adventures. To truly EXPLORE, I must leave behind my fear of being uncomfortable. I need to EXPLORE new things.Break from your routine quoteCheers to a brand new year full of possibilities and successes!! I am really looking forward to all that 2016 brings and excited about the new places I will be going with KHH and new adventures that we will be taking along the way.The best is yet to be

Here's to laying down that bag of potatoes

Hello all,What a gorgeous day it is…snow swiftly falling(and not sticking yay!) and making everything look so beautiful. I love tree branches covered in snow. It makes me happy.As we near the end of February, I am reminded of all of the beautiful blessings that have already come my way in 2015. Small simple things and reassurances that I am headed in the right direction. Thank you Lord! And I mean that with all my heart :) If it weren't for the good Lord constantly watching over me I am not sure where I would be…staying on track is a conscious daily effort. It's daily reminding myself to stop and take my vitamins, to eat healthy and read my devotion, say my prayers…whew…I am serious, some days it will be 10pm and I don't even know where the day has gone.I have had people from time to time say to me that my life looks easy, that things just seem to happen or come together for me…(my mouth drops open) Seriously??? No way...As anyone who works, owns their own business or is raising children can attest…this ain't no easy thang! In fact, it's crazy hard and stressful and overwhelming at times. It's almost more than I can take some days. BUT….thank the Lord, I have faith in the good Lord and he is with me every step of the way. He holds me up when I can't stand anymore and spurs me on when I am spent and feel like I just can't keep going. I honestly don't know where I would be if I didn't have him holding me up everyday…scary thought. So easy? Heck no! Raising a family and working, building a business is a beast!! It's like climbing a mountain while carrying several 50 pound bags of potatoes! My oh my!sack-of-potatoesThe truth is…life is hard and we aren't perfect…we are broken. We were created broken and will remain broken because it is in that brokenness that we need Jesus. It's his way of bringing us back to him so that he can love us. If I could say one thing about Jesus that I think most people misinterpret it would be that he is all about rules, that he expects us to be perfect, not to make mistakes; that if we don't follow the rules and behave perfectly he looks down on us and we are unworthy of his love. That couldn't be further from the truth!!Yes, we are unworthy, yes, we are sinners and we make mistakes BUT he already knew we would. He is the one who gave us free will. He knows we will be imperfect and fall occasionally. And every time we do, there he is to pick us up, brush off our knees and help us to stand again. Every time. I find peace in that. I find strength in that. And I live my life KNOWING he will be there when I fall and when I am so weak and exhausted from my crazy life that I can't stand on my own anymore.Here's another thought for you…how much does that bag of potatoes you are carrying really weigh? What are you really carrying in that sack? Is it worth it? I get it. No one wants to appear weak or unsuccessful. No one wants for others to see that they are tired and worn out, that they are sick to death of keeping up with everyone else and pretending to be something we are not. I get it. I do it. I am the worst at staying busy because in the stillness I can see ALL of me. Yep, all of me and I don't always like what I see. If I keep busy, I don't have time to look at me or the path I am on too closely. Can you relate?Are you busy? Are you carrying loads of potatoes up mountains everyday? Are you pushing and pushing for success that meets the expectations of others? Success that looks good and even feels right but do you wonder where the path is leading you?potatoes-bags-21715205 It is in this pursuit of this perfect life and perfect Facebook posts, SnapChat stories and Instagram posts, that we have to ask ourselves, are we living the lie? We have become masters at concealing our own heartache and disillusionment with this life. And there will come a day when we just can't do it anymore. We will fall on our knees or our flat on our faces because we are spent, we are exhausted. Are you there yet? I am and I am over it and it feels soooo good!!I will still have mountains to climb with sacks of potatoes on my back…that's just how I am wired but I will be more conscious of what type of potatoes I am carrying and if those potatoes are worth the time, effort and energy. Life's too short and my Jesus has so many plans for me that I am afraid I might miss if I don't lay down a few bags of potatoes :)Here's to eliminating a few extra bags of potatoes and only carrying those that will make a difference in the lives of others. After all, we are here to serve others not ourselves.In his name,Kim Hoegger

On Your Mark, Get Set, GO!

Ever noticed the stance of a runner as he gets into position before a race? I never really thought about it because it's just what runners do, right? But as I journeyed through my devotion this morning, "Dare To Be Devoted" by Natalie Grant and Charlotte Gambill, I was able to see the stance in a totally different light. Think about how they crouch down with their feet on the blocks, hands on the ground out in front of them, it's awkward and looks really uncomfortable. I never really considered why they were in this position. I just assumed that it was "the way" to start a race.natalie grant and Charlotte

Prompted by a gentleman with a flag they follow a command of "On Your Mark, Get set, Go". Ever thought about what those commands mean? On Your Mark, Get Set, Go….and how might that apply to your life? After reading my devotional, it sure made sense to me. I have a new found respect for the runner's pre-race stance.Runners stance

Shaun T image via Google

So how do the commands given to a runner and his pre-race stance have anything to do with us and the way we live our lives? Allow me to explain what I learned.So many times, like right now for me, we are busy trying to figure out what we are doing next, making changes and moving in a different direction. We fix our eyes on the goal and we tear out to make it happen. Right? See the goal, make it happen. I am a doer!!! My sweet Daddy, God rest his soul, used to say, "If you want something to happen, let Kim handle it. She'll get it done and she'll do it right." And true to that, that's how I roll. BUT…sometimes, I jump out of the starting block before I have allowed myself the time to get ready and that's when mistakes happen. That's when God gently pulls me back and declares a "foot fault". He wants to let me know that my start was invalid and I need to rethink it. I need to regroup and start again.I can be in such a hurry to get on to the next task that I fail to pay attention to the way in which I started. My lack of internal posture directly affects my starting position. "It's the ability to control the starting process that determines the pace and power of our performance once the starter gun is sounded. In a professional race the smallest error in that starting line up can throw the whole race out. An incorrect starting position can even mean disqualification." from Dare To Be. Isn't that the truth?! Why are we in such a hurry? Why not take the time in the beginning to get ourselves into the right starting position so that we can run a good race? Doesn't it just make more sense to "Get On Our Mark" first? Then, "Get settled into the position" and THEN GO?Mark-Set-Go Web GraphicIn this season of my life, I think it's especially important to think before I act…to get on my mark first, settle in and then take the first step. I want to make sure that my eyes are fixed on Jesus and what he has in store for me. I want to be spiritually ready and have a proper internal posture that puts me at His feet first. Time doesn't stand still as we wait for His direction but as I have experienced so many times in my life, His timing is always better than mine and I will be rewarded for my patience in waiting for His direction.From Dare To Be:1. Is your spiritual posture aligned correctly?2. What do you need to re-align so you can run with greater strength?3. What agenda do you need to surrender at His feet first? "On Your Mark, Get Set, GO!!! Here's to a brilliant 2015!!!Kim   

We're Going Mobile in 2015!!!

We're Going Mobile in 2015!!!

So where do we go from here? That was the question that consumed my mind throughout the Christmas holiday. How do I remain accessible to my clients in the Dallas area without a brick & mortar location?

Go Mobile, of course!!!

It makes perfect sense! Online shopping and delivery services are all the rage! It's the wave of the future, so why not jump on the train or in our case, maybe a MERCEDES SPRINTER?? Sounds good to me! Why not bring the studio to our customers? Why not eliminate the hustle bustle and stress(and parking nightmares) associated with shopping the brick & mortar and make the design process a breeze! New upholstery for an old sofa made as simple as selecting a fabric(in your own home with the proper lighting and all of your other gorgeous things) and having someone come and pick it up and then deliver it when it's finished? Sign me up!! I never have to leave the house?? It doesn't get any better than that, right?mercedes sprinter

New Beginnings for 2015

Hello all,MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

KHH NEWS

With the end of the year approaching fast, we are gearing up for 2015 and one big change that will take place for KHH DALLAS. As of January 1, 2015, KHH DALLAS will begin the closing of the Dallas store. It's been a wonderful year and a half and I have loved meeting so many wonderful new friends in the Knox-Henderson area. I love it there! But as most of you are very aware and have most likely experienced personally when trying to come to the store, the parking and traffic conditions are not exactly desirable. In fact, they have proven to make business from our Dallas location very difficult. It has become necessary to make a hard decision and close the Dallas store.I wish it was as easy as making the decision and then moving into a new location. That is not the case as I have scoured the area for the past three months and there really isn't anything that will work for us in a better way. Sadly, we must close the physical location until we find a solution.It is my desire to find a location that will better serve my design clients as well as store customers. This will come with time and I will surely let you all know as soon as a decision is made regarding a new location for KHH. In the meantime, KHH will be located in our Rockwall location as we own the building and it makes sense until we make other arrangements.We will still be available to assist you with your decorating needs as well as Thibaut fabric and wall covering, upholstery, repair, refinishing and painting of your furniture, and one of a kind antique treasures that bring your home to life. You will be able to contact me directly via cell phone, email or social media and as always I am here to serve you and make your design and decorating process happy and stress-free.

Sheila G's Brownie Brittle

Oh My Goodness…Meet Sheila G, the infamous baker and creator of the original Brownie Brittle. This may just be the most indulgent and simply satisfying treat I have ever had…I am not kidding!Is there anything better than a brownie? I mean, honestly, brownies are the bomb. They can cure a broken heart, mend a fence, lesson the anxiety of a big presentation…they are heaven, right(unless you are one of those unfortunate souls that don't like chocolate…I am so sorry for you.)I have always said, "If you have nothing else in your pantry when friends show up unexpectedly, you will be the best friend ever!! All you need is a box of brownies on the shelf and you can do amazing things! Or at least have the ingredients on hand if you prefer the homemade variety. I have tried baking both and for whatever reason I prefer the box variety. Go figure. Probably has something to do with a childhood memory.Enters Sheila G., fond of the crispy edges(aren't we all, they are simply the best part of the entire pan of brownies and I would know since I can devour an entire pan by myself with no guilt at all…brownies heal hearts and are therefore deemed medicinal.) she began working with her Grandma's brownie recipe to achieve her brownie brittle. And she was amazingly successful!!!Sheila G Brownie BrittleToday she has a blossoming Brownie Brittle business. I first found Sheila G Brownie Brittle on a trip to Hawaii with my hubby. How could these not be available in Texas!!! I am happy to report that one year later, they have made their way to Texas and are now available in four varieties.ChocolateChip Brownie Brittle

Just tried the Toffee Crunch today and it is every bit as wonderful as the other varieties. My goodness…what a treat for the soul. And the best part to this very indulgent treat is that the calorie count is so much less than a full sized brownie! I don't know about you, but these days, every calorie counts this fifty year old lady.Check out Sheila's website and blog and get yourself some brownie brittle for the holidays!! Give it as a gift! Who wouldn't love a little bit of heaven :)Order Now!Indulge yourself :)Kim 

Empty Nest and New Beginnings for KHH

I don't know if it's age(I will be 51 in January) or if it's the fact that I am almost an empty nester(my baby is a Senior in high school, I have two girls in college and my oldest just graduated college) but I have been feeling a little off-course lately. Actually, if I am totally honest with myself, it may be fear of change that's making me feel so strange.Change is hard isn't it…but, as I have learned over the years, it's necessary and most often produces great results. "All things work together for good." Love that bible scripture :) Romans 8:28I generally try my best to embrace change and even look forward to it but I am not doing so well with this one. It's causing quite a tail spin.2e2dde6962c6e33842849cb6c391367d

Browsing on Pinterest is inspiring. Here's a good read below from Maria Shriver about empty nesting.

I love number 6 on Maria Shriver's list for empty nesters!

"6. Parents don’t like me when I say this and yet it is true, YOUR CHILDREN LEAD NOW. What I mean is: they decide when to call and connect. Would you want to stop what you are doing at 8 p.m. on a Sunday and call home? You also get to ask for what you want and negotiate. Learn to carry opposites by saying, THIS IS TRUE AND THAT IS ALSO TRUE. You are building self compassion and trust."

Through this new journey of change, I have become aware that I need to do more than I am currently doing. I need to give more, do more and be more of the person I was designed to be. (I mentioned foster care to my husband a few days ago, casually of course. He looked at me like I had lost my mind. I could read his…). So for now, I am starting with Dwell with Dignity and looking forward to being a part of such a great organization that helps so many families. I feel like giving of my time and design talent to Dwell with Dignity will be a great place to start.

Design & Retail Workshops coming in 2015!!!

And…beginning again in January, I will be giving back to all of you and teaching new and exciting design & retail workshops! I am so excited about doing more workshops! I had so much fun teaching and sharing all that I know with all of you. I miss it. So stay tuned for an upcoming schedule of dates and classes. My Mom has always asked me, "how do you do what you do?" I feel like it's time to answer that question. But I can't do it without your help. Please take a few moments and let me know what it is that you would like to learn from me. I am happy to share and teach you what I have learned over the past 27 years as a designer and independent retailer. Want to learn how to pull a room together? Or maybe you need retail consulting? Let me know what you are interested in learning. This is going to be fun!!

Introducing KHH DESIGNTIME Studio

Ever wish you could have just an hour with a professional designer?

If you could just have a few minutes to bounce off some ideas, to get a second opinion on a paint color or pull some bedding together for the Master bedroom. It's not that you can't do it alone, but it sure would be nice if you just had a little time with someone who knows how to pull it all together, right?

Do these comments from other clients sound familiar?

"I would feel so much more confident in what I am doing if I could just have get a professional opinion. I just need an hour to go over things with a professional that knows what they are doing, just to make sure that I am headed in the right direction."

"I am so confused. I thought I had it all pulled together but now when I look at my living room it's a disaster! Color is everywhere and nothing makes sense."

"I have so many decisions to make. I am paralyzed with fear and can't make any decisions at all."

"What if I make the wrong decision on the furniture? That mistake could cost me a fortune."

"How can I ever get all of these decisions made for my builder in such a short time." I will never meet all of these deadlines."

"I have worked so hard on this space but now that I am finished, I don't like it at all. It just doesn't feel right."

Designing a room and especially an entire house doesn't have to be overwhelming.

And working with a professional, nationally published designer has never been this easy...it's as easy as making an appointment. Just give us a call, schedule your DesignTime appointment, come enjoy your session with Kim.

It's design assistance at your fingertips on YOUR TIME!

No more sleepless nights. No more panic attacks. No more costly mistakes. Kim is here to assist you with your design dilemmas, large or small.

And best of all, you decide how much time you need.

Just need a few questions answered, book an hour. Need more assistance, book a two hour session.

It just doesn't get any easier than that!
