Putting Your House on a Check Up 🏡

Put Your House On A Check Up 🏡 This can actually be a lot of fun, who doesn't want to be reminded of all the cool things they have 🤗. So there are a few things that you should do regularly to keep your house happy and healthy. So even though I am not perfect on doing all of these heres a few tricks of the trade to help you out. * From The Ground Up, Check Your Floors * Carpet- Now is a great time to get them cleaned. Now that you have half way rearranged all your furniture to make room for all your family and a tree take this opportunity to get your carpets clean. * Fun fact most carpet companies will not honor their warranty if you have not been getting your carpets regular cleaned and taking care of them. * Hardwoods- Go ahead and give them a good shine what can it honestly hurt! get those base boards & crown molding while your doing all the other wood material if you have it. * Tile- Now is a great time to scrub down those pretty tiles you have in your bathroom. its never a bad idea even if you have pre sealed grout like Power Grout by TEC to just give it a glance over. If you feel the sealer is worn go ahead and reapply a surface sealer. However I recommend all my clients use a threw sealer as these generally last long enough to not worry about resealing. This is also a good time to go ahead and reseal your tile if you have natural stone. * Counter Tops * Time to love all those beauties! I highly recommend that you seal you countertops once a year, if you have marble twice a year. You have to think even on a a 5 year sealer it states it may vary in wear based to wear and tear, and you wear and tear you counter tops in the areas you use the most & always see. Its better to be preventative in this situation. Sealing your stone is super easy and there are lots of brands that you can use, I would recommend Aqua Seal since it has no harmful VOC. Plan to seal your counter tops on a day you will be out of your house since it generally takes a sealer 24-48 hours for the sealer to be fully absorbed. * Gutters, Pipes, & Filters Oh My! * Lets be honest absolutely no one loves to do these things but these are all 3 things that if you stay on top of will do wonders for your home and prevent tons or other problems down the road! * Air Filters- Air flow in your house is important especially if you have pets or kids. With air filters its good to note that they are good for different amounts of time depending on the type of filter. If you want to get on a routine there are 2 great ways that are very simple. 1st only buy one year filters, I know right, Easy! The 2nd is to write the date you put the filter in on the cardboard and hatch off the years used to keep track. * Pipes- Right now we are far enough in to winter that depending on where you live you might have already done this. Just make sure there is nothing leaking or off this is a very simple task assuming nothing is wrong, if something is wrong call a professional. * Gutters- As much as this sucks, this is absolutely something you have to do before bad weather sets in. The weight of the leaves packed down by snow or heavy rain can cause your gutters to have lots of problems. * Organize * I know how basic! But lets be honest every home looks better when everything is neatly tucked away. Im definitely guilty of what I like to call "organized piles". This is where things are organized but their floating, all the things for the maybe multiple projects your doing are in neat piles threw out the space, so its not a mess, but its not in its home. No matter what your working on start the new year with a neat and organized space. I know a lot of these things are so simple, but they are the things so many of us over look. In your home you will find its so many of the simple and little things that make it feel like a home. Hope these helpful tips get you and your house off on the right footing! 🤓Britters

To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. To just give. That takes courage.

Hello!

Let Me Take A Moment To Introduce Myself…

Hey!!!

So since this will be my 1st Blog I figured I should start by telling you who I am, so… Hello Im Brittany! Most people however, call me Britters so from now on thats what I will go by. I grew up in Maryland outside of Baltimore where my dad still lives before moving with my mom to Ocean City. I have to accredit a lot of my creativity to them. My mother was a dancer for the Baltimore Ballet as well as an editor. I love to write like her although I can’t spell worth a damn so she is still a wonderful editor for me. My dad is a Finish Contractor as he would refer to himself since “he does it all” in the Baltimore area. I think this is absolutely where my design passion comes from. I used to adore going on bids with him when I was younger. He would let me do bids, carry paint swatches and put up the samples, and do some of the planning, I just could never get enough. I was hook, I’ve known my whole life this is what I wanted to do.

After High School, I moved to NC to go to college at High Point University. While at High Point outside of being a Zeta, being a high jumper on the track team, an outside hitter for the volleyball team, a midfielder on the lacrosse team- as well as being a founding member who helped start the team (incase you didn’t notice, I like sports), I was getting 2 degrees with multiple minors. I have a degree in Business Administration with a minor in Marketing & Management, but lets be honest you are far more interested in the fact that I have an Interior Design Major with a minor in Furniture Manufacturing & Marketing.

This is my passion, my purpose, what gets me up in the morning… Interior Design. There is nothing more satisfying as helping someone create their perfect place. I hope you guys enjoy being a part of journey to build my own design brand.

Cheers!

🤓 Brittany

You will also find my own personal brand of things & collaborations with awesome company’s that I have teamed up with to sell along with my own.

<p>Miss Mary Mack, with “Golden” buttons all down her back 😊. Absolutely adore this sweater from @micheal_kors_style . It’s the prefect white were it has just a hint of cream, so clean and sleek looking. I was also surprised given the large knitting it’s sooo warm and comfortable. And the buttons down the back are the perfect touch! #missmarymack #michealkors #sweater #sweaterweather #goldenbuttons #buttons #gold #thelittledetails #comfy #perfecttouch #britterbits (at Bee Cave, Texas)
