It's been a brutal winter this year, and Mother Nature hasn't been
very kind this spring either. Cabin fever sunk in, for us Chicagoans,
long ago. While I love the Benjamin Moore brown that I painted my
family room last spring, I am tired of staring at it. I have all spent a
lot more time in my home than I typically do, and if I can't head
outside, then I have realized that I need to freshen things up a bit.
I
am not looking to re-decorate or redesign. I am looking for low-cost
ideas, to change things up a little bit. I found some great ideas on
Houzz. Minimalistic approached like playing background music and
setting the table with fine china. I love to bring lilacs &
hydrangeas inside, sadly they are not close to opening yet this year!
However, I have never thought about placing them in anything other than a
standard vase. That will change this year! And how many candles do I
have lying around waiting for an opportunity to use them? What exactly
am I waiting for?
If your home is on the market right now,
consider implementing some of these ideas to warm up your space, and
create some added appeal for your buyer.

Oh how I hate to pick out paint colors!
We always tell a buyer to never let paint color interfere with their
home buying process. Truth is, some paint colors really aid the selling
of a home, while others can be major turn-offs. Part of the problem is
that so many people struggle with the ability to look beyond what is
right in front of them. They have blinders on, and cannot see what that
navy blue bedroom with the black ceiling & stick-on
glow-in-the-dark stars has the potential to become. Yet paint remains
one of the most cost effective changes that a seller can make when they
are putting the home on the market, and that a buyer can make once they
close on a home.
The challenge so many people face? Choosing the best color. Like everything else in life, psychology has entered in the world of paint. A lot of thought has been put into analyzing various colors, hues and tones - as well as the perceptions that people have developed about those colors. CertaPro Painters has helped simplify the process by putting together this chart. So take a look, and then grab your brush!

This
was my view last night. As I sat at Starbucks waiting for my son's soccer practice
to end. The spring season started a week ago. It was 70 degrees on
Saturday, in the 30's last night. Fortunately, his soccer club has
indoor training facilities, so he was not out in this mess.I have always loved snow. Especially fresh snowfalls that are so pretty. The latest snow fall was light, which gave it some sparkle in the glow of the lights. Pretty as it is today, I have had enough. and from the posts I am reading all over social media, we have all had enough.
So I have decide to look forward, to the warmer weather that really can't be that far off in the future. Planning for the brilliant colors of blooming flowers. And, since it is hard to visualize that by looking out the window, I found this great article on planning gardens. I think looking ahead to gardening season gives us hope.
http://www.bhg.com/gardening/plans/seasonal/long-blooming-garden-plans/?socsrc=bhgfb0409147
Today's heartwarming video...
I know that we aren't supposed to believe everything we hear. Or read. Or see on social media. Sometimes the stories and photos are real. Sometimes they are exaggerated. Sometimes they are created for the sake of advertising. Sometimes they are are mix of all three. And sometimes we are exposed to a photo or story that touches us, and we don't care which it is. Sometimes we just want to, and need to, believe that what we are looking at really happened.
This video is one of those. It happens to be an ad, however it is heartwarming and conveys a message. And hope. And I love watching it.
Enjoy...
