Spring Sprucing Tips To Ready your House for Easter

Spring is here and don't forget to clean out all the focal points of your home to make room to breathe and space for a few new pops!

Here are a few tips we've picked up from Houzz for a stunning Spring spruce.

Entryway:
- clear out winter boots or coats
- add hooks for organizing belongings

Kitchen:
- move most used items to front and center drawers
- still have dishes from friends that you haven't returned ... make a pile to return!

Laundry Room:
- add a triple sorter laundry bin
- clean out old cleaning products, and throw away unused items

Bedroom:
- remove old coffee cups and stacks of papers
- take a peek under the bed

Bathroom:
- clean out old medications and move them to a different place as the humidity can be damaging 
- organize cupboards in clean sorted baskets

Cabinet Drawer Uses You Didn't Know You Needed!

We all have "those" cabinet drawers that accumulate JUNK. 
And they usually drive me crazy ... but I can't avoid having them.

Well these 6 drawers not only make me super jealous, but also ready to implement ALL of these in every.single.home..... including my own.

Starting with my personal fav ...
THE CANDY DRAWER:
I mean .. come on..... does this even need an explanation?! 


The Cutting Board Drawer:
This is not your typical cutting board drawer .. because we've seen that before. This has a hole in it that drops directly into the trash can. Bring on the onions .. I'm ready to chop!

link
The Trash Can Drawer:
Yes, we've seen the double trash can drawer as well ... but not with a special slot for the extra trash bag boxes!! I always go on a hunt for the extra bags ... not anymore.

link
 The Plate Drawer:
No more sliding around or extra stacking necessary. These specially placed pegs hold each plate in every size perfectly in tact.

link
The Spice Drawer:
Who twists and turns each spice bottle every time you go to search for one? Well, this easy to view spice drawer eliminate this problem!

link

The Baking Drawer:
With measuring tins, each ingredient is available and ready to go!

See how a drawer can be so much more than just a drawer??

HOW TO: Get organized and STAY organized



The blog world is buzzing with tons of organization ideas, yet implementing is another story in my case.

Get organized but keep reading to learn-

HOW TO...Keep Organized
It's a new year, full of new ideas and most of all...resolutions!
How about organization?? Is that one of your resolutions?!

Check out these ideas BHG put out for those like us that love to organize!

1. Separate with Stylish Items
How many stacks of napkins, fabric, or papers do you have that need to be sorted? Go to your nearest office supply store and find a cute clamp for all your organizational needs ;)


2. Visable Storage
If you can see it...FIX IT! Take a trip to Target...buy some clear crates and get to sorting.
You'll be happy you did... I was:)
3. Stand up Straight
Everything looks more organized when it is neatly stacked. Use two pieces of fabric and some beans insert to make a make-shift book end!
4. Ledge Logic
Why not make use of the side of that wall shelf?? A running calendar awaits you.
5. Handle Space
I don't know about your house, but items like scarfs, ties and belts get quickly tangled and thrown on the floor around here! Find a favorite handle at Home Depot for an easy storage solution!


Happy Spring Cleaning!!

Go for the Gold...Its a WIN

While we still like our silver … We are branching out and
LOVING gold accents in our latest designs!
This is a Powder Bath at the Mansion on Turtle Creek!

For a splash of the unexpected, we think that gold is 
no longer your grandma's favorite accessory. 

It is bold, bright, and unique.

CHECK OUT WHY WE THINK SO!

- Brass mixed with blue is a favorite color combo of ours. It brings a touch of 
modern in with the old, making the perfect blend. 
Lighting and even hardware are ways to bring this look in.

** See the gold cup pulls on the blue painted cabinets!?

- Dark, rich, wood tones and gold. Mmmm yes please! This knot ball is a perfect conversation piece, but also adds a new color to the space that coordinates with pillows and accessories throughout.

- Gold BRIGHTENS. Yes, sounds like something you might already know. BUT if you are bold enough to darken your space by painting walls black, or navy… you can quickly add light (spunk) to the space by bringing in gold in the plumbing fixtures, hardware or wall decor!

WILL YOU GO FOR THE GOLD?!

Unusual Trends of the Year

As we get further into 2017, we ask ourselves the 
question...

WHAT will be the hottest unusual trend THIS year??

Well, here at TCI, we have a few ideas, and can't wait to implement them.
Our TOP choices for 2017:

1. Metal Accents - Gold or Silver!
** Won't damage as easily as wood
2. Additions of Stone - Especially Aria Quartzite 
** Completely indestructible and not porous
3. Textural Wallpaper - Grasscloth or Solids
4. Unique Fixtures in Unusual Spaces - Speciality Plumbing Fixtures

HOW do you implement these trends?? 
Here are a few slides to give you a visual for these looks!

A MASTER BEDROOM TREND:


- Bring a touch of the unexpected into your bedroom by using an Aria Stone quartzite as artwork. Because as Aria's motto goes .. "Stone is Art". 
(This particular quartzite is a 3CM Verde Acquamarina Slab. ... Simply Beautiful)

- Use a mixture of metals throughout side tables, lighting, and accessories
- Wallpaper an accent wall in a textural wallpaper.
A MASTER BATHROOM TREND:

- WOW yourself each day as you step foot into your bathroom by wrapping your bath tub wall surround in a beautiful white quartzite from Aria Stone. 
(This particular stone is a 3CM Bianco Quartzite)
- Give your bathroom a splash of shine with metals throughout your wall sconces, vanity and tub faucets, AND cabinet hardware
- Don't skimp on the plumbing fixtures. They can be the icing on the cake in your master bath retreat if they SAY something about your space.
Gear up for 2017 and jazz up your home!
