Designing Diva Interiors

If you’re a follower of Designing Diva Interiors on Facebook you saw that I mentioned small one-day projects you could do over this next holiday weekend. Here’s one list to keep in mind, courtesy of HouseBeautiful.com.

*Install dimmers in every room for subtle, layered lighting.

*Paint a piece of furniture a different color.

*Organize your bookshelves in a wave pattern, with books lined up according to height but not in ascending order. It will look like this: tallest books on the ends, shortest books in the center, all books pushed to the front of the shelves with no more than 1/8″ of shelf showing.

*Fill your house with flowers. Use tin cans, glass pitchers, Mason jars, whatever for vases!           

*Rearrange furniture and artwork.

*Clean the windows.

*Ditch frayed, dingy towels with the best towels you can afford in complementary colors and patterns. You can’t go wrong with all white, though!

*Makeover the ceiling in one room by changing the paint color and fan/light fixture.
