Spring is the time many people start home improvement projects. How do you decide who you want to spend your hard earned money with?

🌟Check out this blog I put together to help you make the write decision. Don't just go with someone because your neighbor suggested them.

🌟Come back and let me know if you get a chance to read it.

You finally decided to do that bathroom or kitchen remodel you’ve been putting off. The idea of doing a remodel project can be intimidating. There are a lot of choices to be made and who wants to live through renovations? Nevertheless, you gather a bunch of ideas off Pinterest, and get a referral ...

I wanted to share a couple before and afters. I love my home office. 🥰 For years, I thought I didn't want to buy any new furniture to put into my rental space.

I wanted a home, and I thought it was best to wait until I got to that next milestone. It wasn't until I started working from home that I knew I needed to fix up that room quickly. ⏱️

My compromise was to set a reasonable budget that would still allow me to not skimp on style.

Did I get all the items of my dreams? No. 🤷🏾‍♀️ But I did get a great space that I love to be in for 8+ hours during the week.

I say all that to say, start working on improving your home environment 🏡 🏢 whether you rent or own.

I dropped my office project reel in November and said peace ✌️. Well, here are some still shots of my space.

I’m grateful for the folks that host the . Without the accountability that the challenge provides, I may have still been using a 4-foot foldable table as a desk. Lol, SMH. 🙃

I purged 🗑 a ton of stuff that I really didn’t need and organized 🗂 the things that I decided to keep. Plus, the 8-week timeframe stopped me from procrastinating about making decisions.

This is it! This is your sign. Get that room together. Comment "SEND HELP" if you're ready to stop procrastinating and need some helpful design tips to start.

❤️👑 Admitting faults or mistakes can be difficult. However, I'd like to think that it strengthens relationships and builds trust. We all make mistakes, and no one is perfect. Practice transparency in your personal, work, and business relationships.

Take Action. That's it. That's the caption.

Drop one action in the comments that you are going to do by Sunday to meet a goal. There's nothing to small.

This couldn't be more true. A lot of times we are afraid to start. We get stuck in analysis paralysis. Or we gain all the knowledge and struggle to put that initial knowledge into action.

Step outside your box. Take the leap. 😊

Hey, hey!! 👋🏾 I'm back with another update for the in conjunction with . I pulled together a design board and made the final selections for the major items I need to purchase.

I used two things to determine the direction of my design. Well three if you count budget.

✨Color theory. First according to my lease I can't paint the walls. I initially considered doing a fun peel and stick wall paper, but I decided to go with a patterned rug instead. I wanted to go with my brand colors for the office, but the dark green didn't pair well with the wall color.

Green is a great color to spark creativity according to the theory, so I decided to go with a seafoam green instead. This shade also promotes a sense of calm. I need to be able to focus. Going with a lighter color palette will create a brighter space. 😊

✨Function. I have lots of books from design school, board games, other little things that I need to store. Plugging in a cool wall calendar should pair well with my good old fashioned planner to help me stay on top of tasks.

Lastly, I've been thinking about getting a standing desk forever. There was a standing desk converter at my old job that I would use sometimes and I loved it! 💚

💡Tap in! If you have a home office space, do you have a traditional desk or a standing desk?

There will always be reasons or excuses. I definitely get why people have reasons. Results don't come easy. It takes work.

Recently I found myself getting really excited about an idea, I had. I was so excited that my mind was racing thinking about it, and I could hardly sleep. 🙃😁

Then sometime later the next day, that excitement turned into me thinking I could not bring that idea to fruition. I wrestled with those feelings.

💡The following day I stepped outside of my emotions and asked myself, "How did you go from not being able to sleep because you were so excited, to feeling defeated before you even gave your idea a try?"

💡My feelings were illogical. They were not based on facts but fear. Don't let fear fester, take a step outside of your feelings, so you have the best chance at conquering it.

If this helped you be sure to ❤️ and let me know in the comments. 😊
