In the Quiet of the Morning…….

20150210_091519 (1)

Good Morning Connecticut~

Please – Everyone, take it easy today shoveling out of this lovely snow~

1. Take plenty of breaks – it’s not going anywhere!

2. If you have a child old enough to shovel – we should not find you out there!

3. Dress Appropriately – layering is the best, although my husband has been known to shovel in shorts & winter coat!

4. Stay Hydrated – Take a bottle of water or Wine (just kidding) that’s for after!

5. Watch for Slippery Areas – canvass before collide!

6. Remove Icicles from Your Home – when falling they could cause injuries, they can also be used for the wine (just kidding) again this happens after your work is done!

On a serious note: Please be extra careful when shoveling your driveways, sidewalks, etc!

Set ~ Backs!

We all have setbacks and they can come from various areas of our lives ~

Family, Friends, Work,  Mother-nature!

It is how we handle the setbacks, the way we can regroup, go to plan B and make the best of the situation – That’s when a set~back becomes a step~up!

Winter Projects!

I am not a fan of the Winter Season ~ Except for Christmas!

Envision-Designs is going to be posting some winter project ideas to help myself and others out there, to get through the dark, grey days of Winter. I am going to be – Shhhh….stealing or I like to call it ……copying, the idea from HGTV Flea Market Flip. Each month I will post a Flip List ~ to take with you to flea markets, tag sales, thrift stores, antique stores – wherever you like to hunt for treasures. Once you find an item that is on the Flip List, you think about how you can fix and flip: re-purpose, re-finish, re-make, re-design, etc. to resell at a profit. Here is an opportunity to work alone or as a team to show off your skills or to try out your creative side! You never know this could be your calling…..take the challenge!

Come Back for Flip Lists & Remember to post pictures!!!!!

Design gone too far?

No ~ Nein ~ Nai ~ B’u ~ Nao ~ La ~ Nee ~ Pa

Does not matter in what language – I cannot spit my toothpaste on the fish!

I love great design just as much as the next artist, but has great design gone too far?

Would you install this sink in your house? Thoughts?
