Home Maintenance Tip of the Day 1

Sunday, August 15th, 2010

I just wanted to address an issue that I have been running into a lot lately.

That is about maintenance.

I am asked a lot about what materials are maintenance free.

Well I want to put it on the record that there is no such creature.

What we want & what is are two different things and that’s just the way it is, sorry.

When you put good money into items such as remodeling, landscaping, and other high dollar items., you have to do the cleaning, pulling of weeds and other things, it takes to keep what you have paid good money for maintained.

So, Please…

Think about what you are doing!

When you spend your money, be prepare to do work to keep it nice & enjoy what you bought.

Take care of it or pay for it to be done right!

Feng Shui Tips – Part 4 – Curb Appeal

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010

In Part 4 of Madonna’s Feng Shui Tips Madonna shares some Feng Shui Tips regarding how you may use Feng Shui to improve the “curb appeal” of your home and/or make your home more attractive, more comfortable and more balanced:

Here is a exercise that may be very revealing and make you see your home in a new light.

Take photos of the front of your home. (photos are very important you will see thing in photos that you do not normally see).

Start at the curb and take pictures as if you are a potential buyer.

We all view our homes with our emotions and it is hard to see it the same way a stranger would.

By doing this exercise you will be able to make the improvement that are needed. Not only for the sale of your home if you are wanting to do so …

But also for feng shui, it is very important to keep the front of your home clean and in good repair.

The placement of the front door is of extreme importance in feng shui.

The positions of the front door and the stove are the most important aspects in feng shui.

The size of your front door should be in keeping with the size of your house.

If the front door is overly large compared with the size of the house your fortunes will suffer.

If it is too small, ch’i is constricted and there will be disagreements in the family.

REMEDY Any shars that may be afflicting your front door.

This is the most important single aspect of feng shui.

Look for angled roof lings of neighboring houses, straight lines, streetlight poles, a single tall tree, and anything sharp, angled, pointed  or straight.

For instance, if your home is facing a T-junction you will need to make the road that heads towards your front door “disappear.”

A pa-kua mirror above the front door will do this.

Fences and trees can also create an effective remedy.

For those of you out there that are starting to get your home more attractive, more comfortable and more balanced, I hope my Feng Shui tips will help!

Madonna’s Recommendations for Your New Flooring

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

This is the story of my recent experiences purchasing and having brand new flooring installed in my new home …

The story actually begins with the purchase of our new flooring from Chuck Sanders at Floors Direct.

This was the 3rd time we had bought flooring from him / Floors Direct and we have also told very good friends about him and they were also pleased.

Chuck / Floors Direct worked very hard to make sure we got what we wanted.

Then …

Chuck / Floors Direct referred us to a professional flooring installer, for whom Floors Direct provides a warranty as to the quality of their flooring installation work.

The best thing that happen first was that they were on time.

That is something that does not happen very much lately.

When they started putting the floor down my rooms started growing.

They were professional in every way.

They stopped and looked at each and every board.

Well the final pictures, below, tell the rest of the story and you can see the Dramatic Results.

Thank you Chuck / Floors Direct ! :)

- Madonna

Needless to say, I am Very Pleased with my new floors! :)

and I would therefore …

Highly Recommend Chuck Sanders at Floors Direct, for All of Your New Flooring needs!

Please Contact Chuck Sanders of Floors Direct at: 772-692-4722 and/or via his office nearest to you, which you may find on their web site at:

http://www.floorsdirectinc.com/

and …

Please tell them Madonna of Madonna’Staging sent you / recommended them to you and they will take Good Care of You too! :)
