ORGANIZE ME....


AND MAKE IT ATTRACTIVE, PLEASE...




Shelterness


I envy the linear thinking group, 

the left brainers, 

the organized.

It pains me that organization comes so naturally to some

and gives me a headache

Were I more left brained

My garage would be neat as a pin



don't they look happy?





My closet would be color coordinated

The spices in my kitchen

COLOR SPECIFICS




WHY IS IT SO HARD TO FIND THAT COLOR YOU CAN SEE IN YOUR HEAD?

and when you think you have it.... and it looks good on the paint chip

why does it disappear when you paint it on your wall?




Centsational Girl

THREES THE CHARM




Paint - there is a reason the first 4 letters spell P A I N!  

You think you have the perfect shade, and it turns sour when you put it on your wall.

or... You want help with just one or two rooms... 

or.... You want to go at your own pace,

CURING THE MISMATCHES....

HOW DO YOU COMBINE SURFACES AND COLORS?



We all have remnants of the past to haunt us.  Especially if we buy a previously owned home.  So, when we want to update our decor a little, how do we make it all play nicely together?  And what if we have more than one more permanent surface to consider?

TOO MINTY?

When is a pastel too pastel???


Pastels are beautiful.  They look great as a blouse, a scarf, shoes, and Easter decorations.  On the wall.... 


well lets just say Barbie, Ken and My Little Pony would love it.
  They tend to look juvenile, a little too sugary sweet.....  

 Soft colors can work in adult spaces.  They just have to grow up a little.  
They need to be grayed down and made more
