Your Space, Your Divine Haven!

Need to re-invent a room in your home? Are you a creative person? Not sure where to start?

Moi has renovated many homes, rooms, and even trailers-minus the trash. You would be surprised at what Moi has done all for the sake of fulfilling my deep need and desire to create beauty everywhere I go.

So let Moi share with you some of my home renovation tips.

First of all: Never get a manicure prior to starting a project.

2nd: When walking through your home look at the rooms and decide which one needs a face lift.

3rd: Once you have selected the room, think about what you want to do with it, the feeling and ambiance that is missing. What do you want to achieve?

4th: Look at the size of the room, and think about what can be done to make the room seem bigger. Perhaps it is the amount of items, size of the furniture, the colors, or maybe you just have to much crap! Sometimes, and I mean sometimes less is more.

5th: Go to your local paint store or paint department such as Lowe’s, Menards, The Home Depot, or god forbid Wal~Mart(remember the whole lack of customer service thing).

6th: Select colors that bring you comfort, that are your vision of what you are trying to create. If you find you have a difficult time doing this, look at home décor books and magazines, or try the net to gather ideas and a color palette.

Of course Moi never needs assistance because I am a creative genius. Moi can literally walk into a house, room, or building and know exactly what to do with it, paint, furnishings and all.

7th: Once you have your colors chosen, next think about your inspiration, and start looking at furnishings. Maybe what you have just needs some creative touches, re-finishing, new fabric, or an inventive new use.

8th: Remove the window treatments, clean the ceiling, walls, trim, etc. Remove or cover the flooring, furniture, and the lighting.

To Be Continued…


Moi has much, much more to share, show and tell...

But for the next few days I will be on F.O.Y. mission with one of my Bitches, Jolene aka "The Glam Clam!"
