Empty nest? Fill it up with these quick changes!

The empty nest.  It's almost that time of year.  College will be starting soon.  It can happen any time of year.  The house is suddenly empty for whatever the reason.

 

I have many clients who have called over the years to ask what I can do to make their homes "happier" following the departure of their children. They suddenly feel lost in their home and don't know how to make it better.  It is eerily quiet and even some of the clutter has disappeared.  It is time to refeather the nest.

Say no more. Now that you have time to yourself let's sprinkle your house with some decorating magic that will fill it up in no time!

 

Flowers:  Put them in your dining area, kitchen, bath, office and living room.  Sunflowers make me instantly happy.  Try it.

 

Paint:  Color changes everything and you know there is a color that you have always wanted to try.  Some colors that are beautiful and are guaranteed to make you feel good immediately are Benjamin Moore's Jamaican Aqua, Spring Iris, White Satin, Milano Red, Riviera Azure, Jack Frost and Blue Jean.  These yummy colors are great accents or for complete walls.  Do something bold and include the ceiling.
