Can you imagine organized living; a space where everything has a place and stuff isn’t piled everywhere? Say Yes!
Tired of searching for misplaced items each day - keys, kids shoes, notebooks, etc. A few minutes can add up to hours and hours, just 5 min. a day is over 30 hours a year. How many “5 min.” are you spending a day looking for stuff? Too many, ok it’s time to get started.
The Designer Gals are here for you. Keep a vision of how your life will be clutter free. If you are going to tackle this, do one room at a time. Clear it out, sort it into - Must Keep, Give Away, Donate. It is important not to over think your decisions and do not feel guilty if you donate gifts, hand me down furniture and such. There are so many people that can use these things. You can help make someone else’s day!
Not sure where to start? Which space first? The Designer Gals can help you prioritize and set up systems that work for you and your lifestyle. It is time to start enjoying an organized life…you can do it!

Paint with color - color creates a mood
So many choices... total confusion. Most people look at paint strips, bring home a few dozen and then paint off-white! Why? Is your lifestyle shouting color, but you don't hear it? To help you get started on your redesign, here are helpful and easy suggestions.
Open your closet, what colors do you see? You have just discovered the colors for your space. The paint stores can match almost any item and you can purchase some small samples to test on your wall.
The color you choose will appear light and dark depending on the time of day and natural and artificial lighting will influence the color also. Leave it on the wall a few days to feel comfortable with your decision.
Now that the choice is made start painting. The first few swipes with the roller are going to be a shock, but don't stop, you know this color and love it. As the walls are painted, you will become more secure in your choice and excited about the color.
This is a great time to redesign your space. Try mixing things up. Put the sofa on the other side of the room, chairs over there...you get the idea. Redesigning is fun and easy on the budget.
Congratulations! Stand back and admire what you just accomplished.
You did it!
