WE DID IT!!

This is officially BLOG POST 30 which means we made it to the END of the 30 Day Challenge!

This has been quite the journey and aside from maybe my last day as a Children’s Wear Designer I didn’t miss a day posting. Coming up with content got easier as the days went on but I have learned that blogging in the morning is better than at night since some nights I wound up later than I’d like because I was finishing a post.

Since my self-help journey started I made a shift from being a night owl to a morning person getting up with the 4 am club. This has helped me be super productive throughout the day.

In the past, I would stay up all hours of the night but was tired and not very effective. The mornings are a different story since I have a routine that consists of exercise, meditation/ visualization, journaling, and reading. Adding all these things to my morning has helped me be more focused which has been really helpful.

Now I just need to work on my purging and organization skills and then I’ll be a real ROCK STAR!!

Back to the Neutral Living Room Makeover Blog Post lol!

So you may recognize this room from our portfolio and you may have asked yourself: How can I get my Living Room to look like that??

We really wanted this space to be elevated and inviting. Inspired by two of my favorite designers, Kelly Hoppen and Cheryl Eisen of IMG, we did this by keeping the color palette neutral while layering in textures to create interest. We also mixed in mixed metals that have been trending as late for that added bit of sophistication.
