You dove right into redoing the nursery. But a temper tantrum, spilled gallon of paint, and six trips to Home Depot later, you realized you were in too deep.

Let Little Apple Design interior decorating service help you make a splash. Run by two moms, the online biz eliminates legwork by coming up with color schemes, themes, and custom shopping lists.

Just fill out a questionnaire and e-mail a few pictures of your space. Note special requests like your plan to incorporate Granny’s heirloom rocking chair or your desire to go eco. Within ten days, you’ll receive a personalized virtual design board with suggestions (from furniture to bedding to toys), with web links for purchasing.

If you live in San Francisco or Los Angeles, they’ll do in-person consults.

It’ll go swimmingly.
