A few more ideas to help spruce up your space in one day or just in a few minutes!
*Switch your lamps around from room to room and add softer bulbs for the areas that only need accent or mood lighting. I am a fan of amber colored bulbs because they give off a nice candle-like glow.
*Use vinyl decals (www.uppercaseliving.com) to add a meaningful or playful phrase to your walls or other surfaces like appliances, vases, frames, sinks and so much more. Use your imagination freely as these must-have’s don’t damage paint or other surfaces when removed. Also available are various shapes and embellishments in multiple color options!
*Polish wood furniture to make it look like new again.
*Have the carpets cleaned and switch up area rugs so that your carpet wears evenly over time. DDI recommends Sunbell Carpet Cleaning in OKC. Call Ronnie Schweitzer at 682-1818 and tell them the Designing Diva sent you!
*Buy trim from a hobby or craft store and add a little flare to tired lamp shades, drapery panels, duvet covers and throw pillows. Use fabric glue for best results and stear clear of beaded trim that would be too heavy.
