Wouldn’t You Love A Space Lift?

by



Is your space looking tired and drab?


Do you ever pass by the rooms in your home, tired of looking at the same old and tired-looking drabby space? Wouldn’t you love to replace your furniture or add art and accessories to your space, if only you knew what to place in the space? These reasons and more are why you need the help of an interior designer . Many believe that hiring an interior designer is only for those who have large-scale home projects in their minds. However, it’s possible to schedule a consultation with an interior designer, so that you can transform small spaces, or one room space at a time.

The next time you walk through a room or look at a designated space, look at your space with purpose. Many times, people are so used to looking at a couch or a table or a lamp simply for the purpose that these serve. An interior designer will help you to look at your space with fresh eyes. Not only will you learn how to view your space with intent, but you’ll learn how to view your space the way that your imagination sees the space. Your consultation will allow for you to sit down and actually consider all of the things that you’d like to see within the boundaries of a particular space. Would you like to see the space decorated with a certain color palette?  Would you like to see the space decorated in a certain style? What is your style personality? All of these questions will help your designer to lead you towards the look you’ve been searching for.

Is making your space warm and inviting a challange?

One of the challenges that an interior designer can help home dwellers to overcome, is how to change absolutely drab and uninspiring spaces into spaces that are warm, inviting and innovative. Sometimes a home dweller feels absolutely overwhelmed by the challenge of taking a totally blank space, and turning into a space they can be proud of. This is why the expertise of an interior designer can be very helpful. They can help a space transform from cold and overwhelming, to welcoming and exciting. So, whether a home dweller needs to get rid of old furniture or use furniture covers to reinvigorate old furniture, the interior designer can help. They have all sorts of tricks up their sleeves to help their clients absolutely love their new space lift!

Tired of recouperating?

by

I’m deep in recovery mode after an accident earlier this week. Honestly, I can’t really do much no matter how much I have to do and how much I want to do so I’ve spent the last few days sitting at home basically lying on the couch watching TV and putting icepacks on my bruised and swollen areas.

You see .. I had a bad fall thanks to my husband leaving a big ladder out in the living room on Wednesday night. It was lying up against a table and I tripped over it in the semi darkness early Thursday morning (2 am) and fell on it and basically bruised, sprained and maybe broke my left hand, bruised and sprained my left arm, bruised my left leg and bruised my left chest. I don’t think I could hurt much more if I’d been in a car accident. Well I suppose I could but you know what I mean. I did a good job of hurting myself!

There isn’t a lot on on the weekends at this time of year .. during the day I’ve been watching home improvement shows, interior design and home reno shows or ones where people are buying their first house and so on. Most are interesting. One of the ones I watched today had a couple looking at Wilmington nc homes for sale because they were moving from California or was it Oregon to look for a new home. I can’t remember the name of that show, but they always show the prospective buyer three homes and they chose one house out of the three and end up happy for ever after. Somehow I think there’s probably more than three houses shown I certainly looked at more than three houses before I bought this one … I think I looked at about 45b houses!

Anyway … I sure hope that my bruised body feels better in a few days because I’m already sick and tired of lying around. That’s just not me!

I’m so tired of this

Hmmm I think I’m going to give up on waiting for my husband to come home. He’s been away all weekend and as far as I know -at least according to his call at 1 pm he was going to be home sometime this afternoon. However, here it is already 7 pm and I haven’t heard from him in 6 hours so I think it’s safe to say that I might as well eat alone.

Something I do most weekends lately. I’m getting tired of this.

I wouldn’t even be surprised if he calls in a little while and says he’s too tired to come home or that his parents want him to do something for them so he’s staying overnight. He’s done that many times. I’m really not happy living like this anymore and I can’t wait for this to be over. We’re sort of living separate lives – we just need to officially make it official. In the meantime I need to get back to work and start pushing around both computer carts and medication carts. I need to earn money and keep busy .. get my life back.

A womans work is never done – more cleaning in the basement for me!

by

It looks like I’m going to be spending yet another weekend cleaning up and organizing the house. Oh and when I say house I mainly mean basement because that is where the MESS is.

Honestly … I don’t know how or why the basement became the mess that it is, but it needs major work. I know when we first moved into the house 10.5 years ago we stored several boxes downstairs – boxes that contained items that we meant to pull out once all of the renovations were finished. Trouble is, those renovations were never completely finished and those boxes are still down there along with multiple other things. It also doesn’t help that this is an old 1927 house with only four small closets – all on the uppermost floor. Storage space is at a premium.

On top of all this … my soon to be ex – oh yes, I said that – ex – is going away this weekend and he won’t be helping me clean up the basement. He hasn’t really done much in the way of cleaning or sorting out stuff down there anyway so far so I guess I didn’t expect much help, but there’s a lot of heavy stuff to lift so I guess if you guys don’t hear from me call for a search party because I might be buried under a mountain of stuff in the basement. Yes it’s that bad down there. Semi hoarders delight.

There’s even a half decent sectional couch with a pull out bed buried under all those boxes, coats, Christmas decorations and renovation supplies. I hope that by the end of the weekend I might be able to see it!

Speaking of sectionals … I might be moving in a few months because of the situation I alluded to above – although I really don’t want to move. This is MY house. If I do have to move that old sectional is staying in the basement and it can be the new owners problem because it’s huge. However, I’ve been looking at this site – sectional sofa los angeles and they have a nice selection. Perhaps if I do end up in an apartment or condo I’ll get a small sectional – with a pull out bed if possible, as those are always handy for guests!

Ok .. I’m going to relax because tomorrow I have a lot of work to do. If anyone wants to come and lend me a hand you are more than welcome. I could use the help and the company.

Quick visit – busy weekend

by

My in-laws called last night and now they are here in Toronto for a quick weekend visit.

My father in law used to be more spontaneous than he is now, but I think this weekend he truly was spontaneous. He heard from a woman that he knows that a church here in Toronto was holding a special ceremony in honor of the Irish famine (as in the famine that brought my grandfather here and so on) and he decided that he had to attend so he and my mother in law are in the city for the weekend.

Unfortunately their visit didn’t quite mesh with my husbands work schedule. He’s just starting to do a bit of work on the weekends and he had to work this evening so he spent a bit of time with them this afternoon visiting his uncle in a nursing home but then he had to go to work. They were too tired to do much this evening after their long day. My mother in law doesn’t like to drive after dark … otherwise she’d be out looking for Wholesaleinsurance.net or something! Tomorrow is going to be a busy day so I guess we’ll all just get together tomorrow maybe for breakfast, then to see my husbands uncle again and then off to the church for the special ceremony and reception.

At some point we have to get groceries tomorrow too … hmm maybe in the evening when Chris’ parents drive back home? Maybe.
