It all Starts with an Inspiration.....For You and Me!

Inspiration is what makes design, design.  Design is not something that one can "throw" together and results in cohesiveness, nor timelessness.  It is a process, that is thought out and comes from somewhere.  A swatch of fabric, a piece of heirloom art or porcelain - your soul, perhaps. 

Today, I had to tackle some administrative tasks at hand, on the job.  Working tools were required to be sought for our clients carrying home their wares "in class", so my colleague picked out this amazing tissue paper called, Lavish Blossoms.

Well  that's all I had to see, especially since I live in a State with a Winter that spans into May.  Honestly.
So I began to dream about Spring, and began to dream if my kid's flew the nest and I had disposable income, this is what I would do as a result of this simple inspiration.  Enjoy.

Spring into it......

Let's face it, the winter has been relentless for most.  What have you done with yours?  Have you remained fit and energetic, or succumbed to letting yourself, wardrobe & home's environment go?

Get into the groove now that the days are longer and your energies are increasing daily. 

Spring into it, with a revive of your wardrobe.  There are amazing looks to be had out there.  From brights to flowing neutrals and classic timeless-looks, that can be easily attained with a few updates and taking inventory of what you already possess.

Speaking of inventory, why not begin with assessing your home's environment, from color to storage.  Is it looking as tired as Winter has forced you to become?  If so, a simple plan of "tagging" your closets & cabinets of priority are a good way to begin the process.

All you need is 3 plastic containers for your closets and can remedy your chaos and no-longer needed items, with the Toss/Donate/Keep System.  It is as easy as that and the end results will make you feel amazing!

Consider revving up your home's space with one of the most inexpensive remedies - paint. And when painting a room or 2, consider, painting the ceiling, which is ALWAYS mostly overlooked.  The difference it makes to a room is incredible.

If you own items that are in good shape and are timeless, but your space is lacking in the WOW, another inexpensive way to boost your home's energies, is a redesign.  Study your room's shape, assess its function and empty it out.  Shop the rest of the home for hidden treasures that you may need or lack and put the room back together in an out-of-the-box fashion.  And don't forget to overlook the absolute critical, one of the must haves is sufficient lighting-at least 3 sources needed and an area rug to anchor your furnishings.   Not only are they the icing on the room's cake - but they are of utmost for function and cohesiveness.

If you can't take on the task of organizing, painting or redesigning, there are professionals in your area that can assist.  Spring into it, do yourself, your psyche, your home and BIG favor.  You will love yourself and that around you.

Enjoy! 

Yes - that time has rolled around once again. A New Year, a New You?! What about your space? How about a resolve to create something timelessly, modern classic, infused with bold patterns, bold colors.

After all, your home reflects who you are! Are you tired, burnt out, feel chaos-well, certainly if that is the case, your space is going to say just about that louder than words! Time to stand back, look at your space, go on - place your finger on your chin, cock your head and listen - take action - nuture yourself and your spaces' self.

Maybe you may want to consider breaking the mold-after all we all have them. Here's a fun thought, for instance, The Royal Wedding is approaching-why not theme a part of your living space with a Brit influence-after all, as much as some may not want to admit it, the Brits had a huge impact on many of our lives! Come on....Funk it out, rev it up. Feel good about your space - feel good about you! Best!
