Tip # 37 Get a JUMP on the Holidays!!!!!!

Good Morning Fall, Football, Cooler air and trees turning golden. All signs that fall is here. Most people usually want to spruce up their home before friends and family start descending upon them. Sometimes just a few main tips will help a good bit. Clean everything before replacing unless your carpet has worn paths and old vinyl has a torn place these my friends usually can not be repaired. See a professional before starting a project. Normally this will cost less in the end because they can save steps in the project, time and MONEY!!!!! Get started as soon as you can before the Holidays too. If you are in a hurry it usually will cost more. October is a great time to start.....So seek and you shall find. Tip#37 Start now not later......Fall is for Finishing....As Always FFP

Tip #36 If you want something in life SPEAK UP!!!!!

Hello World, Hope all is well out there. Here in Designer Land it is good unless you feel a bit under the weather. My biggest problem in life is I stay quite way to long. Everyone will go home sick before me. The last piece of pie will go to someone else. The great black dress will be sold. The perfect sofa that I wanted will be out of stock. Yes, If you want something out of life speak up because you will not get it by setting back and being polite. Design it, Buy it, SPEAK UP before the WORLD passes by!!!! AS always, FFP

Tip # 35 Remember Color is everything!!!

Hello World, What's going on? Fall is here and people often get the urge to remake themselves or their home/surroundings!!! I have posted today a picture of a client's home that had beige carpet to start and even with colored walls it was a little bland. The contrast of a darker carpet made color, furniture and all look updated and fresh. Don't be afraid...You only live once and we never regret the things we did try only the things we are afraid to try.....Have guts !!!! Put some color on it....As Always, FFP

Tip #34 Don't be a Bore!!!!

Hello World, I know, I know grey is the new beige.....DON'T BELIEVE IT !!!! Grey can be a very cold color. If it has warm tones than it is not grey it is TAUPE!!!!! College did teach me something and I am soooo tired of People thinking because it is on the internet than it is true. Liking dating someone that says their a French model...Get a Grip. LOL!!!! Grey can be handsome correctly applied but tip # 34 ADD COLOR somewhere. Don't be a bore. Please don't think it is going to be warm because it is a cold color....Plain and simple!!!! Could you imagine all football teams in grey or what a pretty grey day!!! Does that make sense? GREY IS COLD!!!! OK, I have had my say and in the words of Forrest Gump "that's all I am going to say about that". Outdoors has so many beautiful colors that can be brought inside do not limit yourself. If in trouble seek a professional. Life is like a box of chocolates pick something besides grey!!! As Always, FFP

Tip # 32 Don't be Blue !!!!

Hi World, Don't let the economy make you afraid so you quit spending. You wouldn't believe the homes that I go in that really need work and the people have the money and are just AFRAID to make a move because of the way of things. All this does is instill more fear and it becomes a cycle. WAKE UP!!!! It is a way to control. Replace those floors that have holes in them. Chewed up blinds that have fallen down. Furniture that can no longer hold you up. Enjoy what you have because you can't take it with you. Love whenever it presents itself because it may not come around again. Buy because in this world economy we support each other. Don't be Blue be RED, WHITE and Blue support, America!!! Flag Waving FFP~~~
