Revising a space for new uses
This space used to be the children's playroom, but now it has become a gathering spot for watching movies on the large wall mounted TV, and playing games.
I think a sucessful space uses colors that appeal to the client, and includes personal touches, such as the family photos displayed on the red wall. They are a close knit family and she said they spend many happy hours here with popcorn and watching movies! To me, that means success was achieved..

I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO WEAR!
How many times have you looked into your closet, which is stuffed full of clothes, and thought, I don't have a thing to wear! It has happened to all of us. We go to sales, and buy 'such deals', but then when we get home, we don't have anything to match up with it.
The truth of the matter is, that most of us are not good shoppers! I personally shop twice a year, and fill in the things I need to replace. Every woman needs some very good basics to build a wardrobe on.
A good black suit that fits well, is lined, made of good fabric.
Well made and fitting slacks in black, grey, bone and brown. They can have some texture, such as a herringbone tweed.
A good white blouse that is fitted. This can be worn with everything else in your wardrobe.
A pencil skirt that falls to the knee.
These are your must haves! Then you can add accessories, trend items, and color that suits your personal coloring.
The tricky part in purchasing these items is the fit. Not all suits are the same. They do not fit the same, or fall at the same point on your body. Because all women are shaped differently, you need to find what suits you the best. Find someone you trust to help you. You need to find an ally that wants you to look your best, and knows what your options are. You will often need to pull some pieces from one manufacturer and some from another. You may need a petite size on the top or bottom, and a misses on the other. However, once you have your basics, the rest is fun!!!!!!!
I have been working at Dillards Dept Store, and am the Nygard specialist. I love helping women find what works for them, and then pulling it all together to bring out their personality with the accessories.
