Home Fix Up For Empty Nest Blues

Modifing  home space’s to reflect  your  interests and can refresh the home and the spirit.

Serenity Room

Create a retreat — a place to unwind, meditate, read a good book, write letters or journals, or listen to music.
- Paint the walls in soothing colors

- Give the space an airy, organic feel by adding carpet tiles in natural
hues.

- Dress the windows in soft, sheer linen and let the curtains puddle
slightly on the floor.

- Install bookcases and shelving

Convert a child’s  room into a more sophisticated guest room, where company can enjoy the comforts of a fine hotel, and your teenager can still feel at home.

- Upgrade from a twin to a comfortable full or queen size bed. Provide
high thread count sheets or a cozy down duvet.

- A headboard painted in a rich brown produces a restful environment, allowing visitors to settle into a good night’s sleep.

- Adorn a night stand with an elegant bedside table lamp in
chrome finish, and add an alarm clock and a few books or magazines

- Opt for a plush chair, ottoman or chaise lounge, if space allows, to
keep the space warm and inviting.

Creative Release

Whether it’s scrapbooking or painting, set up a craft room or studio to explore hobbies and interests without inhibitions.

- With any creative space, table and storage space are paramount.
Utilize stylish adjustable-height tables and work surfaces, which can
be reconfigured to fit the task at hand.

- Add bookcases and shelving units with casters to stock supplies
and free work spaces of clutter.

- To spark creativity and boost mood, paint the walls in vibrant,
energetic hues.

- Choose functional flooring that is easy to maintain, like wood or tile.
