What's New
Color Forecast 2005 - Zara Stender has written a wonderful article about where color is headed this year.
Bedroom Makeover - From a contemporary white apartment bedroom to a soft masculine haven for antiques and artwork.
Unfortunately this month our "What's New" is a little short. That has something to do with Lee being eight months pregnant, building a new office in our home and installing a new computer system all at once! So we apologise and promise to get back up to scratch next month.
As we have been renovating, we have some tips on how to cope with living and working in your home when you have builders pulling your house and lifestyle apart!
- Move everything out of their way and store it in an enclosed space. This way your precious possessions won't get broken or covered in "building dust".
- Pack away most of your children's toys. This does sound mean, but it is a lot easier than having crying children with broken or lost toys from leaving them under your builders feet!
- Don't plan to work while the contractors are going to be doing major noisy jobs, ask them the night before what they will be doing the next day, this way you can sort out when to make your phone calls and when to leave the house for lunch!
