Giving Thanks

This is the time of year set aside to contemplate, ponder and express our thanks to those who make our lives wonderful. To reflect on the blessings we have received. Many people choose to post a gratitude a day through out the month. I have decided to post just once regarding the things, blessings, and people for which I have gratitude. I am grateful for my faith, my Savior and His redemptive power. For a FREE country that allows me and you to worship how we choose. For those that have given their lives or are willing to, to protect those freedoms. For my incredible family, husband and children...for their love, strength, and support. For my amazing, crazy fun, beautiful, strong and loving grandchildren. For parents and brother who loved and taught me so much. For friends and associates that also bring joy and happiness to me. For clients that enrich my life. I have blessings beyond measure and certainly cannot mention them all here. I will strive to live a more thankful life. To be more conscience of my blessings and better at expressing gratitude to those around me. My thanks to you for stopping by and spending some time here. May you live a blessed life. ~L~

Uncreative to Creation Room

I love this project!! A fabulous mother of 6 came to me with an idea. To create a "creation room" for her children! Her beautiful home has a formal dining room off the foyer. The space is wonderful, but as she told me they don't have many formal dinners with 6 kids 11-1 yrs. This is way too much real estate to have unused or not used to its full potential! With that we had our initial meeting. She wanted a space that her children could well, create! They play instruments so they would need to practice in this space as well as do homework. One of the things I do at the first meeting of a redesign project is we go on a "treasure hunt". I walk thru the home and look for items that can be reused or repurposed. This proved to be very fruitful! Many items she had planned on disposing of were reused in the room. With her desires in mind, I set about putting together a plan. She is a very creative person so once she took a good look at the idea board, she was off! The room is fantastic and filled with repurposed items. This room truly proves that organization, beauty and style live very well together! This is one of my favorite projects!! NOTE: In the after pic the table in the middle was black and was in a basement storage room. The bench on the left side was a coffee table on its way to Goodwill. LOVE the treasure hunt!! The rug (2 rugs)were purchased from Goodwill and the brown chair in right corner from Salvation Army. It was spray painted with fabric paint. The light fixture once was brassy now classy!

Organize Your Work Space

A recent client came to us with a dilemma. Her desk area, children's craft area and the calendar area all needed to be OrganizeDesigne(d). The spaces are open to each other and she was not sure how best to address the situation. We came up with a plan that was convenient and attractive.
