Hey friends, today I’m just popping in to let you know that I’ve moved the Reader Design Dilemma Series over to my Instagram Stories! This series has always been a favorite of mine here on the blog, but I think moving it over to Stories will allow me to cover even more of your dilemmas. Plus, with the follower question box feature, it also makes it easier for you all to share your thoughts and ideas about each dilemma as well. So those who submit their design queries will also receive a great round up of ideas from the @ourfifthhouse Instagram community!
If you’re already following along on Instagram, you may have viewed the past few weeks of design dilemmas that I’ve covered.

So far I’ve tackled three follower design dilemmas:
1. Should I paint my stone fireplace?
2. What color should I paint my walls?
3. How can I refresh my home’s exterior without painting the brick?

Whatever your dilemma may be, big or small, interior or exterior, feel free to submit your query. As always your name is kept anonymous. So don’t be shy if you have a design dilemma that’s been puzzling you!
To submit:

Feel free to DM me on Instagram or shoot me an email at Carmel@ourfifthhouse.com. Please understand that while I will be covering dilemmas weekly, it could be a little while before your dilemma is covered depending on how many are already on the schedule. I plan to cover these in the order that I receive them.
I’m looking forward to brainstorming ideas to help you with your decorating dilemmas!
Hi Carmel, Love your blog and find that the Instagram stories move so quickly that I cannot pour over your suggestions to the dilemma slowly. Is there a way to slow it down or stop it until I have finished reading it? Thanks,
Shannon
