My children love technology. Who am I kidding...the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. But in real life you can't sit on your iPod all day and ignore that there are chores and responsibilities for each of us. In real life we have to be responsible. At least that's what I tell myself when I sit down to pay bills. What's that saying? “If you do the things you need to do when you need to do them, then someday you can do the things you want do when you want to do … [Read more...]

How do you feel about your back yard? Is it a space you enjoy? If not, take a moment and tell me why? Is it space? Is it … [Read more...]
Move Some Furniture
Sometimes you have looked at a space in your home so many times you just can't envision it any other way. You can't see the potential in a room. I have had the opportunity recently to work with a client who has let me help her rearrange some spaces in her home. Actually every single room in her house she let me rearrange. We moved a couple dressers, a sofa, a dining table, a large shelving unit and got rid of a bed. Her home looks amazing and it seems to have gained … [Read more...]
