Bathrooms again

I am thinking that I should attach a charity to my blog and donate a part of each  question and charge a fee for the answer,  and give it to a worthwhile charity.  I am more in favor of one's to do with children.  They didn't ask for any life they have been given, and they have to learn to deal with it on their own.  I need to do some work on this before I even try it.  I am sure I needs a lot of investigation.

I was thinking about this blog and writing all the things I have learned on design, and today what I read is nothing new to me.  What goes around comes around.  It is not what you know, but who you know.  I have been in this business all my life, and never really got to know a "WHO".  I have no big name in my field, although I have done a lot of things in my field.  My book, was before it's time, as was my DV, or else it is my website.  Too late for the book, but my DVD is still available and it is fantastic.  Everyone who has used it, changes their home immediately.  Go to www.decoratorsworldinc.com, and take a look.

I will touch a bit on bathrooms for children and teens.  Girls need way more space than the boys.  Boys are always in a hurry, unless primping for a date.  It there is a linen closet in the bathroom, you have it made.  If you have multiple bathrooms in the house, even better.  Again, I will say how much I love hooks and baskets.  Make sure your basket has a label on it.  I use hooks to hang a curling iron around, even if it's hot in a linen closet.  As long as it is far enough away from anything that could burn.  I have baskets with hair things, extra combs, my round brush and clips, anything I need for my hair.

For boys, baskets for their combs, brushes, gels, shaving creams, deodorants, and after shave.  Then another for misc., as they always have other things.

I love a dish by the sink to put the things that are in your pockets into it at night.  That even helps with the laundry and saves time in looking for things.  I even put one by my husband's sink and he asked me what for?  You wouldn't believe what he is always putting in it.  More than my dish.. When I took it out to wash it, he asked, "where is my dish?". 

I love it!!!!!!!!!!!


"A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING AND EVERYTHING IN IT'S PLACE"

Good to teach your children to live by.  Many young people are not responsible for their things, perhaps they were given too much.

This is my psychology background coming through.

For younger children, make sure they have a stool to reach the sink, or they make a terrible mess.  My son had a stool and it said: " This little stool is mine, I use it all the time.  For all the things I should and even those I shouldn't".

Don't always use blue for boys and pink or lavender for girls.  Paint the walls , or wallpaper them in a more neutral color and accessorize in colors they like. Much easier to change each year as their tastes change.

You can always get in touch with me with any questions.
