Addicted 2 Decorating (A2D) is owned by me, Kristi Linauer, an interior decorator and owner of Kristi Linauer Interiors. This website is an extension of my interior decorating business for the purpose of inspiring homeowners with creative and inexpensive decorating ideas.
This website is provided for entertainment and informative purposes only and is intended for adult users only. While A2D is a family-friendly website and does not contain any material of a “mature” nature, the projects, tutorials, and articles found here are intended for an adult audience, as they include the use of power tools, chemicals, and other items that can cause injury (or worse) to children.
Projects & Tutorials
Neither I nor any of my contributors claim to be professionals in the areas of DIY (do-it-yourself) projects or home improvement. We are simply people who enjoy decorating, DIY projects, and home improvement projects, and enjoy sharing our process along the way. Our suggestions, methods, and tutorials are not error-free, and we make absolutely no guarantees that readers who tackle these projects will have the same outcome.
If you choose to use one of the tutorials on this website, you do so at your own risk. Please use extra safety precautions (even if they are not specifically mentioned in the tutorial, e.g., the use of protective goggles, gloves, etc., when needed), and do any additional research needed so that you feel comfortable taking on these projects and using the suggested tools. And most importantly, please use common sense.
By using this website (and any of the tutorials or decorating advice found on A2D), you agree that if you are injured while attempting something you’ve seen on Addicted 2 Decorating, or if a project does not yield the results that you intended after following the tutorials and tips shown here, you will not hold Addicted 2 Decorating, Kristi Linauer, Kristi Linauer Interiors, or any contributor to Addicted 2 Decorating liable in any way.
