Budget Decorating

I just found a great article you may want to check out using the concept of a makeover for under $300. In these times of possible job loss and shrinking assets, having a space that is adding to your frustration and potential depression is the last thing you need. Someone once described paint as money in a can. That certainly holds true if you are planning to sell or rent property. But imagine you are looking for a new job because you were laid off or are worried you will be. Resist the temptation to sink into piles of old papers and mail and feel sorry for yourself. Get rid of papers and things that dangerously keep you mired in the past. Then get some painters tape and paint and start creating. I am a great believer in the power of intention, so with each stroke of the paint roller or brush, visualize your perfect job coming to you quickly and easily. You can increase the power of that potential exponentially by mixing in a few drops of Young Living Essential Oil “Highest Potential” to the can of paint. When you are done, viola, you have surrounded yourself with success! Get inspiration at $300 Makeover. (You may have to register with the NYT but it is free and easy.)

White House Feng Shui

Michael Smith, the newly appointed White House Decorator, doesn’t say anything about feng shui in his interview with Domino magazine, but it is clear he has an intuitive sense of the five elements and how they make a space feel balanced and comfortable. The five elements are earth, fire, wood, metal and water. They are represented by different shapes and colors. Using all the elements will magically make it feel “complete” or balanced. It’s an “I want to stay here!” kind of a feel. Michelle Obama has made a good choice of class and comfort for the White House.
