TRISTA'S DESIGN BLOG

September 19, 2009 - last updated

Well, this week was quite busy.  I spent most of my time painting...painting...painting!  This week I worked on a large plaque name sign, which I will finish tomorrow.  And I also painted accessory pieces for a girl's bedroom I am working on...this room is too cute!  The room is pink and green with black and white accents.  I am calling this room - preppy chic.  I really love the mother, she has five children and I am excited about the design and organization opportunity ahead.  Since my kids are ADHD, I love projects where I get to use some of my life experiences to make a mom's life easier.  My rule is, if my kids can keep it organized and put it away....Lord knows anyone elses kid can.  SMILE!  My kids definitely are a great test for organization.  I have been struggling myself for 7 years to keep everything organized and I have learned A LOT!  So, I love using my life to help another mom not have to go through the same stress.  I have found women are so much happier when their home is organized and looks beautiful.  It's like the best self=esteem booster...life is so much easier...it helps tremendously with the chaotic lives of women and motherhood.  I am happy that I can help women feel this way.  It's a perk of my job. SMILE!

NEXT PROJECTS:  My upcoming projects are to start the boys' room in the home with five kids and also to hand paint a play table set in an awesome fish theme.  I am very excited about that one...I have all these great visions in my head that I can not wait to translate into visuals.  I will be finishing up a big girl's room also in the next two weeks and hopefully get the mother to do her bathroom next.  SMILE!  And one of my loyal clients will be adding a whimsical rug down her entrance stairwell.  So, I will keep everyone posted.  SMILE!
