Artistic Talent !

I was so fascinated by the Modello decorative designs which are jaw dropping. Modello produce designs and techniques that will inspire a whole new generation altogether. One of the famous artists Melanie Royals, has a design studio and are leaders in designer quality decorative stencils, stenciling and decorative painting tools and techniques.
I was interested in showing some of their wonderful work of ceiling and concrete modello designs in my blog.

My Design Work- "Clear the clutter"

Feeling overwhelmed on the thought of organizing your home ?

Clearing out some of those unwanted and unused stuff will bring a clean and organized look to the room. Start with a single room instead and it will make whole lot easier.

1) Firstly, decide on picking a room to start the work on. Write it on a paper and this will be your plan of action sheet.
2) Reward yourself: Designate an appropriate reward to give yourself on the dumping portion of the job. The reward concept serves as your motivation, so be sure to choose something that you’d really enjoy! Write this reward on your Action Sheet.
3) Set a deadline for dumping and a scheduled time. Ex: April 30
4) Once you feel you've gotten rid of the clutter, your first achievement is accomplished. Take advantage of that reward you designated.
5)Keeping it organized: Now that everything in that room that you wanted dumped is gone, you’re ready to begin putting everything you are keeping back in an organized manner. Be very careful not to put anything else in this room that you don’t want.
6)REPEAT. Repeat this process for each of the other rooms in your house.

Here are some of the pics I've taken after clearing the clutter and organizing various rooms............
