3 Steps To Arranging Home Decor Accessories

 

3 Steps To Arranging Home Decor Accessories

One of the most significant home decorating dilemmas is arranging your accessories, whether a bookcase, shelf, or tabletop. Here is a three-step system that will transform your boring or cluttered spaces into charming vignettes!

 

Harmony and Contrast

 

When arranging a space with accessories, one has to remember that the most important thing to avoid here is boredom! This has a lot less to do with the objects you choose than how you display them. To keep an arrangement from putting the neighbors down for their afternoon nap, remember to keep a balance of harmony (things that feel like they go together, like similar colors or styles) and contrast (things that spice things up by being extra smooth against texture, round against straight line, et) You want a bit of both in your arrangement. Perhaps you could create harmony by repeating a square shape or purple and then adding contrast by sitting a smooth candlestick next to a rough basket.

 

Scale and Shape

 

Make sure that the items you are using fit into their new home's scale; you don't want one tiny paperweight on a large kitchen table, and you want to steer clear of using a substantial ceiling-high arrangement of flowers on a bit of end table. However, most people tend to use things that are too small for

What You Should Know Before Remodeling

What You Should Know Before Remodeling

 

How ready are you to remodel? Asking yourself the following questions may help you organize your next remodeling project.

 

Q: Which remodeling projects are you most likely to recoup the cost of?

A: A minor kitchen remodels: 92.9 percent; siding replacement: 92.8 percent; a midrange bathroom remodel: 90.1 percent.

 

Q: What would make my kitchen easier to use?

A: A lot depends on how you already like to use your kitchen. You may benefit from a lower counter or island if you want to bake. If you buy in bulk, you’ll need extra storage space. If more than one cook uses the kitchen simultaneously, you may want to create separate workstations.

 

One must-have in the hardworking kitchen is a range hood. Because cooking churns out airborne contaminants like nothing else in the home can, you need a ventilating solution, preferably a high-performance, HVI-certified,

Abundance is a feeling.

 

Abundance is a feeling.

This question and answer interview was done by Kathy Smith, one of Michael’s loyal Virtual Assistants. Visit her website.

 

Q: Michael, many times during your teleclasses and seminars, you say, “abundance is a feeling.” Can you elaborate on that statement – what do you mean it’s a feeling?

 

First, one of the essential things that we’ve come to learn with the Law of Attraction is that we can duplicate feelings. In other words, just through the words, I use I can stimulate somebody or discourage them. In short, we can create feelings within ourselves and within others by what we say and what we think.

 

Abundance is a feeling. Do you ever notice how excited you feel when you know you have a check coming or when you know you’re getting an income tax refund? The excitement you’re experiencing is the feeling of abundance. We feel abundant knowing that it’s coming, even before putting it in the bank. So a question to ask is, 

“Do I feel abundant knowing that I’m receiving some money, or do I feel abundant only when I put it in my bank account?” 

 

Most people feel abundant knowing that it’s coming, and it has nothing to do with whether that has it.

 

So because abundance is a feeling, and the Law of Attraction responds to feelings (vibrations), what if we could duplicate the vibration of abundance deliberately? (This is what’s called Deliberate Attraction). We’ve come to understand that this powerful force called the Law of Attraction constantly checks to find a vibration that we’re sending and duplicates it by giving us more of the same. So what if when the Law of Attraction is checking at every moment, that at that moment, we are offering the vibration of abundance? Given the formula, the Law of Attraction would duplicate that vibration and bring us more of the same. That’s why it’s called the Law.

 

Q: How do you teach people to attract more abundance?
