Welcome to the first edition of our new column – Decorating Den – on interior decorating tips and beautiful dream room makeovers. We are Janet Cunningham and Pamela Ryalls-Boyd, interior decorators with more than 14 years of combined experience who live and work in Morgan Hill. We are both Decorating Den Interiors (DDI) business owners and our passion is making this city and surrounding areas more beautiful, one room at a time. We've created this column as a way to share this passion with our community, and we encourage readers to connect with us - e-mail or call with your questions and comments and we will respond to the best of our ability and as space permits. Our goals are to share helpful tips on a wide range of topics, highlight the latest products and trends in the home furnishings industry and to have some fun showcasing remodeled rooms. Today's first column, however, is all about us! Pamela and I would like to tell you a little about ourselves.

Never again.

Twenty five years after just running around on a soccer pitch Sunday morning with county employees and after years of working closely with county departments and listening constantly to words like "can't" "why bother" and other such terms that aren't conducive to meaningful change, I have ideas for Pete Kutras on how to shave money from the county budget this year, and it's not looking at non-mandated service, because the preponderance of evidence shows that if county residents don't have access to many of the non-mandated services, we will have more people clogging the mandated systems: county emergency rooms and jails, and the streets.
