Add some green to your life

Add greenery to your space to promote happiness and beauty!

The beauty and the energy you get when you are outside with nature are so empowering!

So bring these feelings into your home. I truly believe that if your home feels at peace your mind will feel more at ease. The pressures of your everyday life can really pile up on you, but when you have a warm and inviting home to come home to, you can leave your worries at the door and feel inspired to be home. Those feelings also rubs off on anyone in the home so why not open your home to more green, more life and more energy!! Everyone will love it!

Update your kitchen, without the cost of a complete remodel

Did you know that there is a possible way to update your kitchen, without the cost of an entire remodel?

• Replacing counter tops

• Replacing decorative pieces

• Updating cabinets and storage

• Appliance

There are so many simple solutions that you can incorporate into your kitchen so you can get a face lift without spending a fortune. And just a few simple things can make a world of difference to not only get the look, but the feel of it as well.

The economy is starting to pick up again, but it still makes us nervous to just go out and spend spend spend. With a few easy steps, you can still upgrade your kitchen so you feel better about being in the space. Kitchens are always the main focal point haven't you noticed. The kids hang in there, you have people over and they all hover around the kitchen. It's such an amazing room because all the family and friends come together in it, and share lot's and lot's of laughter and fun. And how much better to be in a kitchen that feels more inviting and gives off a better energy???

Kitchens come in all shapes and sizes, styles, and moods. But each kitchen has its own energy and its own style.

If you want that complete reno kitchen, you can always start it and give yourself loads of time to get the project done so you can pick at the work and bills on a month to month basis.

 

Another great way to add storage to your kitchen is to have a wood top island on wheels!!! You can order these from online, or have a custom made one to fit your needs!

If your having a ton of people over and don't want to do a ton of dishes, you can always make plastic utensils look fabulous!!!

Change is good

Who love's all the beautiful shiny things like shoes, purses....sunglasses....bedding, dining room suite, chandelier....and the list goes on. See, your home is like your fashion, only you aren't wearing it. You are living in it. Right smack in the middle of it day in and day out. Are you loving your home? Are you loving coming home after work to your loved ones, and feeling so at peace when you walk in the door?

Adding some color with accessories is a great way to add some life, especially Buddha, what a warm fuzzy energy this can bring into your home. Crystals are also a wonderful way of adding a little sparkle, with a lot of good energy.

Big bold artwork always makes a statement, and always draws the eye in. It is such a beautiful thing to be able to look at someones creative mind put brush to canvas, and create something so pretty. I love looking at people's art, and how different everyone is in there own way with their creativity.

Little girls rooms are always fun to sparkle up. There is so much you can do with a child's bedroom, it's unbelievable. And why not give them a bedroom they feel warm and cozy in. That is there very own special place, so they should feel the warm energy like the rest of the home. And let them help with putting it all together, it makes them feel so special. And that's what makes it so comforting seeing how it is "their" bedroom.

Pretty things don't always cost a fortune. Being around nice things tho always helps uplift ones self.

Why color is so important

Color is a vital piece of the design process, as it can instantly transform a room. White walls are screaming to be "dipped" in color because they weren't meant to be white. How do you feel when you try and enjoy a space that is so blahhhh and boring? Doesn't it make you feel anxious and cold??? Don't you find that you have a hard time even coming home to relax??? Color always sets the mood and tone of a room. Lighter colors can really refresh and open up a space.

Darker, bolder colors can really add a touch of romance. We work so hard in our day to day lives, wouldn't it be great to come home to your lover and have a really warm and inviting room that the two of you share, where you both can feel powerful and romantic? This is your sanctuary, the one room in the house that is your very own. Why not have a warm and inviting bedroom that the two of you can really feel the LOVE in.

 

Now, imagine if the walls were white in this picture, it would look pretty boring wouldn't you say. With the walls dipped in color in this room, you can really feel the warmth of this space, it is really inviting wouldn't you say? What a great feeling you would have when sitting and visiting with your friends over dinner and wine!!!!

Children LOVE color. Have you ever watched a child with a box of crayons? Truly amazing wouldn't you say??? They have such a creative mind, and they are so full of energy!!!! We could learn a thing or two from our kids. Like "Don't take life so seriously" Keep their creative minds flowing by adding color to their rooms.....the crayon marks on the wall are not the ones I am talking about hahahaha! In that case make sure to have an easel or paint a portion of the wall with chalkboard paint so they can still express themselves but in a safer way for you.

As I mentioned before color is vital....without it the room just feels like a box. If you really want your home to reflect you, then you need to make it shine! Your energy will be uplifted, your heart will be warmed. Your friends and family will be so pumped to come for their regular visits because they will feel the love and energy surrounding you and your space.

Need more energy???

Another question I wasn't sure about answering on the radio show was where I get all my energy to accomplish all the things that I am doing?!
Well I would have to say from working out! I do yoga, weights, kickboxing and running and it is truly what keeps me going. It clears my mind and gives me much more energy then I thought I could have for that day!
If you really want to start working out but have no idea where to start let me suggest checking out Jillian Michaels workout videos!!!! They are super inspiring and push you to your limit and make results happen!
Here is a picture of my daughter at 2 1/2 wanting to workout with me while I run on my treadmill :)
Have a super fantastic day my friends!!!

Bucket List

So after speaking on the radio for my girlfriend Robyn Beazley's radio show, she made me realize I should have a bucket list!!!! Do you have a bucket list?
I have a dream board up in my bathroom that I look at all the time to inspire me to reach my goals.
But a bucket list I don't have and it something that interests me so much!
What do you want to do before you kick the bucket?!
Well I want to surf in Maui, I want to swim in a beautiful waterfall! That's all I have for now, but I will keep adding to my list!
What are you going to add to your bucket list?!
