Simply Put




I do not have the perfect house nor do I know what it would be if I were to have to tell you.  I learned over the years that you've got to work with what you have.  Make the most of it.

It's alright to dream, but being realistic is a must in our everyday lives.  Keeps us real and helps us to be balanced people.

At present time, I dream of a clean and orderly place where we are to function with daily tasks and events as well as to live our lives doing what we do.

Having study the trends for quick sales in house buying, the house needs to have CURB APPEAL that invites people to come into the home for a visit, breathe deeply in the Living room, have entertaining thoughts in the Dining room, stay awhile in the outstanding Kitchen, whisk through the Utility room, daydream in the fancy Bathroom, walk about the large Master Bedroom, admire the enormous Storage Spaces with lots of big Closets. Comfortable surrounding area where the house rest on the property.  Cozy enough for the present with room to expand in the future.

Major things looked for:
Long story short........beautiful Kitchen, spacious Bath, big Closets and large Master Bedroom all in good repair with clean ceilings, walls and floors in each room.  

WHEN your charming home doesn't have these features, do the best you can to present a clean home with potential.  Some are alright with small houses and want the neighborhood or dollar value.

If selling your property, the interior of home needs to be organized, clean and smell good.
Best to thin out nic-nacs in each room and de-clutter.
Beds made.
Things in their place.
Spot clean before showing.
Soft music playing in some of the rooms.
Good lighting available.

Simply put,

My house is sooo far from perfect...my goal is calm and peace. Our kitchen is still torn up (aka: school that finally ended in Dec). Tons of prep work were needed before we could begin again...

A process.

Calm...

Peace...

It will come.

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."



John 3:7

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

King James Version (KJV)

PSALM 118:17

I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

it is established;
through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
