Growing up in a military family, our entire life was characterized by “portable panache.” My mother and I would meticulously select DIY projects from Better Homes & Gardens magazines and inject our unique touches. We transformed ordinary items into purposeful and functional pieces that adorned our apartments, townhouses, or navy housing. The collection of dolls will be a topic for another discussion. 😉


Portable Pizazz”: In rental spaces, this entails incorporating visually captivating, functional, and easily transportable features to elevate the overall ambiance for tenants.

Here are some “Tips & Tricks”  to consider:

  1. Modular Furniture: Invest in versatile furniture that can be easily rearranged to suit different layouts and purposes. This allows renters to customize the space to their liking.

Modular at its best!

  1. Accent Lighting: Use portable floor lamps, string lights, or LED strips to add ambiance and personality to the space. Consider smart lighting options for customizable color schemes.

  1. Art and Decor: Hang artwork, mirrors, and decor items that are lightweight and can be easily repositioned. This adds character to the space and allows renters to personalize it.

Mirrors (flea markets, antiques shops)

  1. Textiles and Cushions: Provide a selection of cushions, throws, and rugs that can be used to add color and texture to the space. These items can be easily switched out to create different moods.
  2. Room Dividers: Use screens, curtains, or shelving units to create distinct areas within a larger space. This gives renters flexibility in how they utilize the space.

Modular Cubes (Target)

  1. Portable Bars and Counters: Offer movable bar carts or counters for entertaining. These can be easily wheeled into different areas of the space to create a focal point for social gatherings.

  1. Plants and Greenery: Incorporate potted plants or vertical gardens to bring nature indoors. These elements add freshness and vibrancy to any space and can be moved around as needed.

  1. Flexible Storage Solutions: Provide shelves, cabinets, or storage units on wheels that can be rearranged to accommodate different storage needs.
  2. Modular Wall Systems: Consider using modular panels or boards that can be easily adjusted to create a dynamic and changeable wall space for art, shelving, or displays.

A Temporary Wall

  1. Interactive Features: Integrate elements like whiteboards, corkboards, or chalkboards that allow renters to engage creatively with the space.
  2. Projection Screens: Install a retractable or portable projection screen for presentations, movie nights, or immersive visual experiences.

  1. Thematic Decor Packs: Offer themed decor packs that renters can choose from, allowing them to quickly transform the space for events or special occasions.
  2. Flexible Seating Options: Provide a mix of chairs, stools, and floor cushions that can be easily moved to create different seating arrangements.
  3. Technology Integration: Include portable speakers, smart home devices, or charging stations that enhance the functionality and entertainment options of the space.
  4. DIY Kits and Crafting Supplies: Offer kits for DIY projects or crafting supplies for renters looking to add their personal touch to the space.

Removable Wall Decals

Remember to balance aesthetics with functionality and ensure all elements are easy to move and arrange. This way, renters can truly make the space their own, and you can attract a wider range of clientele seeking a dynamic and customizable environment.

How To Build A Coop That Will Drive The Chicks Crazy

chicken-coop

Now, these chicks know how to set up a home!

I have always been curious about all types of homes, lately driving around on the backroads our beautiful southeastern CT region I have noticed a plethora of new homes . . . coops going up and not just on farms.

I had the opportunity to help out on my family’s farm in Stonington when I was young. I loved spending time with the chickens, but their chicken coop looked nothing like these. Check out the Coops!

My two favorites – Chick-Wil-A & Quaint Cottage Coop

What’s yours?

Here’s to hanging at the Lady’s Lounge!

XO Cheryl

More cute coops!

A new generation 2

Hey . . . Happy Friday!

Head over to my Pinterest page to find all sorts of information for home and business. Make sure you keep checking back, I’m always adding new pins daily.

Pinterest is the one place I need to use a time management tool – I set a timer when I go on this “DIY * Crack”. I have zero experience with crack, but I heard of people’s description of it and it’s the same freakin’ feeling I get when researching DIY, designs, sewing projects on Pinterest.

So . . . I set the timer to keep me focused on the items that I want to pin to my boards – if there is no plan you could go nuts, PINNING EVERYTHING! Stay focused, make it a purposeful activity.

Happy Pinning . . . .

How To Add Luxury To The Basis . . .

I get some great ideas from Denise – recreate it – Make it my own!

I’m not here to reinvent the wheel . . . Just repurpose it! ~ Me

I like how Denise takes basic products from say the Dollar store or Walmart and turns them into Luxury! We all can do this, I challenge you to find a simple product from the Dollar General, or Walmart, or Target, or wherever you shop – take a picture of it – then, turn it into a creation of Luxurious Charm and Beauty – post the finalize product. Then, pay it forward – give it to someone that would greatly appreciate some real Beauty in their life this Holiday Season.

Enjoy . . . Her DIYs are very simple – can be done in an afternoon.

Recipe by Lori Hirsch Stokoe – Found On: glutenfreeliving.com

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup fresh sage leaves, chopped, plus more whole leaves for garnish
  • 2 teaspoons butter
  • 15 ounces ricotta
  • 10 ounces pumpkin puree
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • ½ teaspoon salt

INSTRUCTIONS
  1. First, prepare the Pumpkin Ricotta Mixture: Fry the sage in butter until crisp. Remove to paper towel. Then combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  2. Next, make the Béchamel Sauce aka White Sauce: Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk to cook the flour, about 2 minutes. Slowly add the milk and continue to stir. Bring to barely a boil then immediately turn down the heat. Cook, whisking until thickened for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Season with nutmeg, salt and pepper.
  3. Spread ½ cup of the White Sauce over the bottom of a greased 8-inch-square (2-quart) baking dish. Place 2 sheets of no-boil lasagna noodles atop the sauce in a single layer.
  4. Top lasagna noodles with a third of the ricotta mixture. Layer with a quarter of the mozzarella. Then top with a third of the remaining White Sauce. Top sauce with 2 more sheets of lasagna noodles to build the second and third layers the same way.
  5. For the top layer, place last 2 sheets of lasagna over the White Sauce. Top with remaining mozzarella.
  6. Bake at 375° F for 35 minutes, covered with foil. Uncover and bake an additional 15 minutes, until the lasagna is bubbling hot and the top is browning. Remove from the oven and let sit at least 10 minutes before cutting. Garnish with fried whole sage leaves.
