Fall is here!!!

Well, was that a fast summer, or what ??? Here in Oregon it seemed to only last about a month!!! Yes, the rain is on its way and I guess its time to put the summer things away. There is the crisp evening air that says fall is here. Time to look for some of the things from last year, those silk fall leaves in a vase, some slip covers for my throw pillows on the sofa. Put up the heavier curtins in the living room. Whoo, looks like I have a new room. Next come the throw blankets that I lay over the arm chair and sofa.
Picked up some new pot holders and a few new hand towels with a fall pattern for the kitchen. Found a large platter that has fall colors on it. Nice to just place it on the counter for color.
With just a few touches I have changed the look of the 2 rooms, at almost No Cost!!!! Have fun with changing your home with the seasons.

Reuse Repurpose and Redesign an old table

We found this cool looking mid century table. Many layers of paint, but we knew it would look great after a little sanding, filler, primer. We used the mint green color that was popular in the 50's for the trim color and off white for the remainder of the table top. The Designer Gals knew this would look fabulous!

Dark brown paint for the base and legs, a quick sanding on the drawer pull and a couple coats of poly on the top and this table is good to go! It has wheels making it easy to move around a small kitchen for additional prep space or a spot to eat a meal. Perfect for a desk for kids or you!

That is how you Repurpose a table! Give the Designer Gals a call, zip an email or text...we have more ideas than we can blog about! Lets makeover something you love and reuse it for years to come!

Clutter - Messy - or Hoarding

When does clutter become messy which becomes hording? When it is too much, when it disrupts your life and alienates people from your home and your life.

Clutter is a subjective word, what I consider clutter is someone else’s prized collection. The collection seems to take over the house. Now there is no room for everyday items, things get put on a table, on a chair. Next thing you know that pile has grown covering the table and chairs. Is this going to lead to hoarding? Perhaps.

Combine an anxiety disorder or an unwillingness to get rid of anything; yes this could lead to hoarding. It seems to start out small and then the shopping and keeping everything begins to isolate people.

There is help for hoarders for the messy and people that live in clutter. The Designer Gals can help. We can assist you in getting your house in order, give you solutions that will work for your lifestyle.

Updating on a budget

There is no time like now to give your house a lift. If you are thinking of selling or keeping your home the best bet is to update the kitchen and bathrooms.

Decide on a budget, bottom line amount you want to spend and do not go over it. You will be tempted - trust me on that. Stay focused especially when it comes to replacing countertops. Granite is not the only product out there!

Cabinets do not have to be torn out. Paint is affordable and will make your cabinets look like new. If the door is an old style or unsalvageable, you can purchase just new doors. Check out cabinet companies in your area, construction is down and you can get great prices right now.

Most companies offer free consultations. So when you are serious and ready for an update give one a call and see how far your budget will take you.

Can’t go that far? Then try a new color in your space. Paint is inexpensive and makes a big impact on any space.

The idea is to get started! The Designer Gals, Gayle or Judy are here to give you ideas, let's chat soon.
