Services REFRESH, REINVENT AND REDESIGN YOUR SPACE: Our focus is to guide you in reinventing your space to fit your needs, lifestyle, and budget. We assist you in recreating the space you have, using your existing furniture, lighting, artwork and accessories, giving it that pulled together designer look without spending a lot of money. Your environment will suddenly become transformed - balanced, functional and unified. Our makeovers take your environment from ordinary to extraordinary. We adhere to the philosophy of "using what you own first," and in this economy, that makes a lot of sense. We feel that one should feature furniture and accessories that you love first and foremost, then add to these as your budget allows. Throughout the process, we will be giving you suggestions and ideas to use your existing possessions in creative ways, allowing for your home to reflect your style and personality while giving it that "designer" look. We are available for simple consultations, one day makeovers or more extensive design assistance. Your wish is our command to help you make decorating magic happen in your homes. Consultations: During this phase, we will discuss your decorating dilemmas, and explore specific practical and aesthetic requirements that will help you to reinvent your space - taking it from ordinary to extraordinary. One-day Makeovers: After the initial consultation, you can schedule a redesign appointment. You may choose to leave your space to us while the transformation takes place, or be part of the process - "tricks of the trade" are happily shared. Shopping: If you would like our expertise and guidance when making purchases for your new space, we will be glad to accompany you on shopping excursions.

These are so easy and delicious. Head over to my blog to get the recipe https://jackcyndesignforlife.blogspot.com/ I’m still in the process of tweaking the pages , so bear with me... it will get there. Also, for some reason Instagram has decided to block me from commenting or liking anyone’s posts, I can still see them and I can comment on stories. I’m still browsing and appreciating all of your wonderful posts. Weird times, right? https://www.instagram.com/p/CE1pDPDA2ym/?igshid=17ee7cynqw59t

August 31, how did that happen? Fall is right around the corner, the weather is still hot, but the leaves are beginning to turn. My favorite season can’t get here soon enough. #fall #augustbreak2020 #turningleaves #momentsofmine #inmyneighborhood #morningwalk #morningslikethese https://www.instagram.com/p/CEjlCyEg0IJ/?igshid=14753r9cotq41

#auguatbreak2020 #sign. Signs give us information. They point the way, warn us of impending danger or give us information. Think about what signs you’ve noticed lately? They may be leading you to somewhere unexpected...and Ignoring the signs is a good way to end up at the wrong destination. Pay attention.... #momentsofmine #storiesofmylife #grandcaymanisland #rumpoint #flashesofdelight #nothingisordinary #visualsoflife https://www.instagram.com/p/CD7gak_A04v/?igshid=9r28du9oytte

#augustbreak2020 #water I just love this colorful boat we discovered on our trip to the Cayman Islands. It just makes me smile, and I certainly need some smiles to keep me going. This gorgeous water reminds me of a story I used to tell my students...there are three ways to handle problems that appear in our lives - you can be like the turtle and hide from them, you can be like a sponge and soak them all up, or you can be like a duck that plunges into the problems, deals with them, and swims through them. Everyone faces problems in our lives, how we handle them is up to us. How will you handle life’s troubles...will you be a turtle, a sponge or a duck? For me I think I’ll try to be more like a duck, then spend some time remembering the peaceful vacation we had here. I can’t wait to have some more adventures in faraway places. #moments #momentsofmine #seekthesimplicity #momentslikethese #littlestoriesofmylife #flashesofdelight #travel #makeitblissful #adventure #relaxation https://www.instagram.com/p/CDwe2GBgK-w/?igshid=y0ayag69lanw

My new kicks that remind me to be #playful. In these dark and serious times we all need to find some bright spots in our day. Do something that brings a smile to your face, escape into a book or movie. Walk among nature, eat a little ice cream... whatever brings you happiness. “Happiness is not something readymade, it comes from your own actions.” Dalai Lama #augustbreak2020 #momentsofmine #moments #happiness #seekthesimplicity https://www.instagram.com/p/CDrK2wJgWOa/?igshid=cbhw6q587vu2

#augustbreak2020. #sticky or “stickery” ouch. A favorite TV host stated that “Life is pain management,” meaning you have to learn to face the bad stuff that comes your way. Embrace it, deal with it and then move on. Without encountering and managing those bad events in your life you’ll never be able to appreciate the good. So here’s to those sticky/stickery moments that toughen you up and allow you to recognize then enjoy the wonderful events in your life. #momentsofmine. #nothingisordinary #visuals of life https://www.instagram.com/p/CDmF_Akg3w9/?igshid=1j7zvynw0h14g

#augustbreak2020. #ilove. #architecture #interiordesign My love for architecture & interior design goes back to childhood, when I would spend hours drawing floor plans & dreaming of becoming an architect. That never happened, but I did grow up to get a degree in Interior Design and go on to teach Interior Design at the high school level, hopefully sparking an interest in good design. It turned out to be the best of both worlds...I loved my career as a teacher (35 years) and still love design. Do what you love...love what you do. If you follow this motto you’ll never work a day in your life! https://www.instagram.com/p/CDjdORhgfDd/?igshid=1btyhe4n0xshb

In these crazy times take a moment or moments to center yourself. Self care is so important- especially in times of uncertainty. Listen to something that make you smile, do something that makes you feel special. How many of us take the time to take care of ourselves? It’s important - honor yourself. “You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress.” Sophia Bush. #augustbreak2020 #wheels #wanderlustwednesday #momentsofmine #littlestoriesofmylife #visualsoflife #postitfortheaesthetic https://www.instagram.com/p/CDg2aqEge2l/?igshid=15ah7umj5i6qe

Although we are hunkering down in our homes right now, we can always browse through our photo collections, and remember more adventurous times. Fall 2019 -Sedona - what beautiful landscapes and darling community. We found a California Bear - you’re never far from home if you take the time to look. It’s the little things that make our life more complete. What can you appreciate about you’re life today... remember it’s how you view the world. Take the time to find some joy & beauty among all the ugliness that is in our world today. This too shall pass. #augustbreak2020 #travel #desert #arizona #armchairtravel #itsthelittlethings #momentsofmine #moments #littlestoriesofmylife #flashesofdelight https://www.instagram.com/p/CDY2iPeAEPb/?igshid=1g8nmx7bgzhnv
