Whew! There it is, almost all of the steps.  What I didn’t include is all of the hours of researching,  selecting, trying to decide what room I wanted to do and what I wanted.  Somehow it is always easier to select for someone else.  When it comes to what I want or need it takes a little more time.  That is why I actually started the whole process in February when I signed on as a Guest Participant of the Spring One Room Challenge. Thanks for coming along with me on this journey.  It is kind of a fresh start for my work environment and I’m excited to create in this beautiful space!  I am ready for your projects so reach out and set a free 15 minute discovery call to see how we can work together on your next project!
