Design & decorate with no Time...


Office Craft Room
Bold Color Scheme with a Few Pieces
Sometimes we just don't have the time to create fabulous designs; other times, we have all the time in the world to create fabulous designs.  This dictates what type of design you get & how you go about your design. 

The simplest answer is to change out the soft pieces (bedding, towels, curtains, or cushions) with a bold color scheme.  Or, color coordinate the storage containers.  These pieces tend to be the cheapest, easiest way to make a big impact with little time & investment.

​Another tip is to design small spaces or areas in your home instead of whole spaces & areas.  For example, design or decorate the workspace instead of the entire office.  Purchase items that don't need to be assembled, which also saves time.

Hire a professional that has resources & experience to make the entire process quicker!  This option is a bit more of an investment, but well worth the effort & time saved! 

Organization with no time...


Organizing
Wonder Walls Keep Us Organized
Honestly, the fastest way to organize with no time, is to get organized & stay organized!  Yep, that's the truth...the cold, hard truth.  However, once you get there, staying up with everything really does take "no time" to keep it up if you "just do it."  

That being said, to get to that point with no time is hard...even I have been there.  First, just make a plan to tackle small spaces & break them down into manageable tasks within a realistic timeframe.  Get help to tackle larger spaces & tasks.  Take care of distractions before they derail you from the task @ hand...that means do errands & phone calls 1st or take the kids to Nana's if need be, but don't set yourself up for failure before you even begin.  Make a list of items that need to be purchased, given away, or sold.  Once you have decluttered, sorted, & organized, make sure the containers used to store your items function well in the space.

Do little tasks throughout the day like when you're in the bathroom, wipe off the sink or shelves.  That helps on cleaning day to minimize the amount of time cleaning.  Or, when you bring in the mail, deal with it then.  Open it up, review the contents, & decide an action like put it on the calendar, trash/shred, file, or mail back out.  This helps you not forget about important dates, appointments, bills, etc.  It also helps relieve some anxiety by getting tasks complete & not allowing them to loom over you, while building up for periods of time.  Done & forget it...well, so to speak.

​Keeping up with organization is how to stay organized with no time.  Get in a routine of just putting items back where they came from is key.  Being organized will help free up more time for your to spend it with loved ones or doing something you enjoy!

Art with no time...


Glass Painting
Glass Painting is Quick & Beautiful
Like everything else, you have to make time to create quality pieces.  However, some art is quicker than others.  Think about what it is that you want from the art & experience.  Is it for a design or organization project? Is it to relax or have fun with friends? Is it to learn a new technique or craft?  Each of these projects have different requirements.  

If you want a personalized piece of art for a room design or one that contains items with no time, then look for semi-homemade projects.  For example, create a collage in no time with a carefully composed color scheme in a purchased collage frame.  Or, wrap contact paper/wall paper around items that you already have to coordinate with your new design.  

Join a paint party to paint a fairly simple design in a short time period, while having a blast with others.  Or, join an art class to gain a new skill that accommodates your level of time investment.  You can join me on Event Bright with Personalized Designs Classes & Workshops starting @ the end of January!  Click links below... or go to the events page!
