Back to School & Back to Work

For many, the month of September is a time for new beginnings and fresh ideas, getting organized and settling in. But the weather is still nice so continue to enjoy your outdoor spaces while you reflect upon memories made during the summer holidays.

Did YOU have a good summer? A lot of photos, shells found on the beach and a couple of cute souveniers? How best to remember the fun and reflect on time well spent? Narrow floating shelves in a hallway, shadow boxes, and multi-matte frames are a great way to capture it all in one place so it doesn't look like forgotten clutter. You can even change your display seasonally - the look is versatile and it will certainly showcase your personality.

When dealing with a small space, such as a student dorm, first apartment or tiny condo you must effectively utilize your vertical living space. Shelving and storage will be your new best friends. Also be sure to look for pieces that are small scale, streamlined and multi-functional.

This can be a fun undertaking for someone moving out on their own for the first time - especially if mom and dad are footing the bill. We all know that Ikea works well for this scenario.

But if you have already acquired a lifetime of furnishings and possessions, downsizing is a daunting task at the best of times. Add to that the stresses or traumas that face us in the latter stages of life and it's difficult to know where or how to begin. Always keep your favorite things - a skilled redesigner can easily incorporate what's necessary and knows how to mix & match the most unusual combinations.

To help with the adjustment, think "Less is More". Downsizing is basically simplifying your life and that in itself can reap huge benefits.

Embrace the intimacy of your small space!
