Tip 24 What is LVT?

Hello People, The sun is shinning and it is 70 outside....Let's play....Can't gotta quote a job of LVT. What is LVT? Luxury vinyl tile. It looks like wood or ceramic. Most people can not tell a difference. It can be used anywhere. Water will not seep through from topside. It can be used in homes or offices....Macy's has it....Many homes have it. Cleaning it is a breeze. Google earthwerks and then come by and see Pam for a test drive. Beautiful floors. Beautiful weather time to clean for spring. This product is not to be confused with sheet vinyl. It comes in planks or squares and installs like that. Time to spruce up. See Pam otherwise known as fancypantspammy at Fogels in Augusta Georgia. Home of the Augusta National....Home of the Peach.....As always, FFP

Tip #23 Blog IT!!!

Hey World, Joining this new Social Media age is a trick for some of us but I am not giving up yet. Tips from the designer...Today's topice Wallpaper....It damages walls..BUZZZZZZZ, that was my buzzer for WRONG answer....People hang wallpaper incorrectally and that is what damages walls. Personally I am tired of solid painted walls....GIVE them dimension people. We now have some dynomite murals for business's and homes that give them the extra punch that one needs. The answer is learn how to prime before you hang the paper and the future for paper in needed areas will be great. Needed areas being bathroom, kitchen, laundry etc. I as a designer am pro in explaining house plans but am learning how to blog and hold interest. If you are reading this I also have some flooring pictures and other design ideas on pinterest. Under same name. The fever of golf in the air here in Augusta last week compelled me to go to the driving range last night. Also having a handsome coach didn't hurt either. My short game needs some work but my drives made up for them. That one GOOD shot always brings you back. LOL. Have a great weekend and if you need a lift out of the blues dance it out. As always, FFP

After the Masters Tip# 22

Hi Ya'll, If you live in Augusta Georgia once the Masters is over it is a very quiet town a week later. So my tip this week is for all the local people....Quiet time is a very good time to get work on your house started and completed in a very short period. Remember when the kids get out of school for summer things tend to pick back up (which is next month)so go for the quiet time to renovate with the local designer you will get a more one-one experience. April showers bring May flowers.....Have a wonderful day...FPP

MASTER'S RUSH

Hello World, Yes it never fails Augusta preping for all the golf pros to come in for the glorious week of golf and several clients that need something updated before the house can be rented for the week come in the store ONLY one week ahead of time. I always say you are in luck my magic wand has a little magic left in it. Yes we are expected to do miracles without much help from the home owner. Fortunately we have a great back up team of floor installers to painters who make it seem like magic. The crowds move in the streets get busy with golf wantabees and people just out to have fun. They come from far and wide, North and South but mostly North!!! It is Augusta Georgia's fame week before it settles back in the dust to be the sleepy southern town that one would normally find. It is a mans week but some of us ladies love it too. Yes guys women do like to play golf also. I design the houses for the renters than I go play around somewhere. Wish that were true haven't played in awhile but do love it. This is a week like no other, bands play all over town that usually don't come in very often. Music and spring flowers are in the air. Yes, this is Augusta at its' best even if we are dusting the dust off of the new wood floor as the furniture for guest is being moved back in the room. Spring is here and The "Masters" home of the "Green Jacket". As always, FPP
