Organzing Life
You can do it! You can be organized in every area of your life and home. We helped our client organize their jewelry “station” in the master bedroom. This built in area of the closet is perfect for all things jewelry.
Our client decided it was time to get started - we went through all the closed boxes and jewelry stands and found items she was missing and she decided to give away items she will not miss.
In her case it is easier to have everything visible. Too many things are forgotten when they are in boxes or cases.
Can’t see it, don’t wear it!
Remember we wear 20% of our things 80% of the time!
The Designer Gals offer redesign for any space, organization is part of this service.
Save valuable time every day, enjoy less stress in your life;
we will help you set up a system that works for your lifestyle. You can truly have an organized life at home or at work.
The Designer Gals are a text, email, or phone call away. Till next time! Gayle@TheDesignerGals.com 209-210-8986 TheDesignerGals.com

2012
Here is
Here in Oregon the winters can be mostly rain and overcast days, so I always look for ways to bring the "sunshine" in. This is the time I scout out the Goodwill stores as well as the consignment shops. Remember our goal is to reuse, repurpose and redesign. I keep an eye out for those discounts in stores as well. Looking for some items that may bring a little more color into my home space!!
After all the decorating for the holidays its good to get back to the basis design again for the home. This was the perfect time to redesign the living room with a new arragement.
Have a wonderful and creative New Year to everyone.
PS Don't forget our new ebook to help you with the new you for 2012!!!

Organized Toys
If you have kids I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess there are too many toys! It is easy to give in and buy them toys, but honestly,you know it is important to get these toys under control and help your kids at the same time.
This time of year is perfect to set new guidelines and rules for kids of all ages. Time to discard toys that are broken/damaged or your kids have outgrown or simply no longer play with. Time for a hard sort. Toys over 6 months old are probably no longer wanted.
I find it is often harder for the parents to give the toys away than for the kids! True! NO saving because…NO saving toys. There are so many kids that have nothing, show your children how wonderful it is to give to those who have little.
Please remember only give away toys in good or better condition. Give in the condition you would want to receive it in. Find a shelter or church or perhaps a child in your neighborhood. It’s ok to play secret Santa to a family if that makes it easier to give.
The idea is to give and enjoy a “teaching moment” with your kids!
PS…Remember toys come in and equal number of toys must go out, no matter what time of year it is!!!
The Designer Gals can help you get the toys organized or any other task that may need abit of our design skills. Give us a call, text or email. Till next time…

Organized Living
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!
