Dear Abby, I mean Wendy & Lyndsay

I’m a busy working Mom.
I’m organized at work BUT my decorating projects are a jumbled mess

I’m pretty sure my head is going to explode.
I’m overwhelmed!

How do you keep everything organized when you’re working on a project?

So far I have 10 different lists going, and 40 Post-it notes all over my computer.
And it is NOT working.

And that's not counting the overwhelm I get every time I hop on Pinterest.

HELP!

Nothing fits together, I start doing one thing and get sucked down a rabbit hole looking at other things.

Can you give me any secrets to organizing things so I get things done - instead of being stressed and frustrated?

Signed,

Disorganized Debbie


Dear Disorganized Debbie,

Quit beating yourself up!

If you are organized enough to have a career or get the kids off to school in one piece then…
This is going to be easy - once you know our “Core Components System.”

What’s really beneficial is that once you learn this, 
it makes every project you’ll ever do 10x easier.

How To Approach Every Decorating Project
To Eliminate overwhelmed & STRESS
For
Busy Moms & Working Women
Who Want Rooms They LOVE

When you have a new project - the first thing you’ll need to do is to organize your thinking like a professional designer.

Start seeing your room broken down into its “6 Core Components.”

  1. The Architectural Elements 
    • Look at the doors, windows, beams, and exposed natural elements. 
    • What is distinctive about the space that you love and can capitalize on. 
    • Then focus on any unique elements in the room - like a fireplace or built-in cabinets, ceiling height, and overall feel.
  2. The Paint Colors 
    • Are all the walls the same or is there a contrasting wall color?
    • What about the ceiling, trim, and doors? Do you like it?
    • Does this fit into your style preference?
  3. The Furniture  
    • Is one piece the focal point?
    • How will the furniture be used?
    • Are you Combining old things your love with new things? 
  4. The Flooring/Rugs 
    • What's on the floor?
    • Is it one thing or a combination of items - like area or accent rugs, new tile, or wool floors?
    • Do you like it and does it fit into your style preference?
  5. Lighting and Ambiance  
    • IIs there existing lighting such as wall, recessed, pendants, or a chandelier? Would you like to add some?
    • Is there secondary lighting such as a table or floor lamps?
    • How's the natural light in the room during different times of the day?
  6. Textiles and Textures  
    • What are the prominent fabrics and finishes in the room?
    • What are the natural elements such as brick, wood, or metal?
    • These are the items that pull everything together and really bring out your personality!
