Enjoying Your Space!

     
                                                                 
    Most every room has a weakness or two—perhaps it’s an unsightly fixture or a clunky furniture configuration. No matter the conundrum, we at DavidTheLocator have easy ideas for fixing trouble spots and creating a fresh, customized space that’s completely yours.
Three Quick Fixes for Décor Dilemmas
  • Mask Blemishes: If your walls feature nicks and bumps, try coating them in a fresh coat of matte paint—unlike satin or glossy paints, a flat finish deflects light and hides imperfections. If you don’t want to paint, hang a large piece of artwork over the trouble spot.
Tip: If there’s a permanent feature that you wish were out of sight, simply conceal it. For example, cover a small, out-of-place window and create a sense of symmetry by hanging drapes—it doesn’t matter if there are actually windows behind them!

  • Retire Outdated Fixtures: Making small changes can give way to major impact. Replace old lighting fixtures with new sconces, try a fresh fabric on your window treatments and swap in some updated accent pillows.
Tip: Try changing the color scheme in your room—check out different color schemes at your local paint stores or home improvement stores
  • Make Inspired Changes: Looking for a bigger change? Re-arranging your furniture or reinventing the purpose of your space can give you a complete change of heart. We have turned a guest bedroom into an office, or divided a large room into a space with multiple seating areas. Be creative, get excited!
Tips for Customizing Your Space

  • Add Style: Create a room that speaks to who you are.
  • Add Scent: A touch of freshness can instantly transform a room into your favorite space.
  • Create a Feeling: When you fall in love with a space, you fall in love with the way it makes you feel. Add décor accents that remind you of special friends or vacations and textures that you find soothing to the touch.
Make it who you are...it's your space...enjoy it! David Moore:)

  1. I made these standing candle sticks by simply stringing beads onto jewelry wire. I used a flat filigreed bead as the candle stick “base” so the stick can stand. I took a long enough piece of jewelry wire and double looped it so that when I thread the “base” bead, it will not come off. φωτιστικα
