Today is National Bloody Mary Day starts the new year off, January 1, just in time for anyone who treated New Year's Eve like an audition for a hangover-themed reality show. Kick off the year with a bang and a Bloody Mary, this cocktail featuring vodka, tomato juice, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, a smidge of cayenne, and a dash of salt. But here's the kicker ,while it's known to cure hangover woes, it's also a secret agent for dehydrating you, so drink up with care.
Cheers to starting the year with a zesty twist! 🍹🎉

Happy New Year!

Motorized shades and blinds can make life so much easier.

All too often in life, we take certain things for granted. Take, for instance, the ability to get up to manually open, close, or adjust your blinds or shades easily and without much thought. Some circumstances and hardships make what was once a small task impossible. Motorized blinds or motorized shades can be of great usefulness in these situations.

Helping the Elderly or Infirm

While many elderly people can get around independently, for some reaching or climbing step stools is just asking for trouble. And while they may be able to move about relatively well, sometimes it just takes a great deal of effort to get up from a sitting position. The same can be said of those who suffer from some form of disabling affliction such as fibromyalgia or arthritis.
Motorized shades and blinds can make life so much easier. Being able to remotely control your blinds from where you sit reduces the physical strain and potential safety risk associated with getting up when in a weakened state. The ability to operate one’s own window treatments for comfort and privacy also helps to preserve independence.

Other Situations for Motorized Blinds

Sometimes the cords or controls for blinds are hard to reach for shorter people. Motorized blinds can be helpful in these situations as well. And anyone can enjoy the convenience of remotely controlled blinds.

If you are interested in learning more about motorized solutions for your window treatments, visit us at Call Creations. We carry motorized shades, blinds, shutters and draperies, along with a wide selection of various solutions for your windows. Give us a call at (630) 737-1510.

Dorm Room Essentials

Many of my friends and clients have been reaching out because their teenagers are about to head off to college. It’s hard enough worrying about sending your baby off to live without you in the world, let alone worrying what they’ll need to settle in smoothly! I’ve compiled a list of essentials to help get you headed on the right track.

Mesh shower caddy: can get wet, and dries quickly

Flip flops: nobody wants to get college floor foot fungus during a shower

Nightstand that doubles as storage: there’s never enough storage in a dorm room, best to go multi-functional with furniture

Bed risers or a loft: again, will help with the dorm room storage space issue

Laundry basket with wheels: to make doing laundry easier

Command strips: the best solution to keep walls from being damaged when hanging pictures or hooks

Storage ottoman: to keep blankets, for extra seating, and to climb onto their bed

Blackout curtains: in case they want to sleep in during the weekend

Under bed storage: for clothes or shoes

5x7 floor rug: to cover cold dorm floors and make the room cozier

Mini fridge: for snacks and leftovers

Brita water pitcher: in case the tap water tastes funky

Little set of plates, silverware and cups: for easy snacking in the room

Wrinkle spray for clothes: because we all know the kids won’t use an iron

Noise machine: to block out loud dorm noises

Costco non-slip hangers: my absolute favorite hangers!!! Slim to fit more clothes in a closet, and non-slip to keep them hanging where they belong

Bedside caddy: for bedside essentials like glasses, a phone, and a book

Headphones or ear buds: if their roommate is being loud, or is studying and needs quiet, headphones allow your teen to keep doing what they were doing

Comfy blanket and slippers: or whatever they wear at home to lounge

I hope this helps get the pre-college shopping trip rolling! Are there any essentials you think I’ve missed? Do you need help planning college dorm room decor? Give me a call today for a no-obligation consultation!

Indoor Hanging Chairs or Swings: Yay or Nay?

I’m sure we’ve all seen the ever popular egg chair, porch swings, or even novelty swings around a table in a restaurant. Most of the time swinging seating is a feature that’s left in the great outdoors. In the past several years, however, indoor hanging chairs or swings have gained popularity in the design world. So what are your thoughts? Would you bring hanging chairs or swings inside your home?

Yay:
* Lends a sense of fun and quirkiness to the design of your room
* Swinging provides a sensation of comfort and can be helpful for soothing anxious nervous systems of all ages
* Your kids will love it, and their friends will, too! (which means you’ll know exactly where they are)

Nay:
* Requires a sturdy chain and hanging system. You’ll definitely need the help of a professional at a hardware store to send you in the correct direction of safe and sturdy hanging mechanisms and appropriate anchors to support human weight
* You’ll likely be limited on where you’re able to hang it, as you’ll need to hang in a beam for safety
* If you have more than one child, you may need more than one…to prevent fights 🙃

Whether you’re part of team yay or team nay, I think we can all agree it proves there are so many options for seating in a room. Do you need help choosing interesting seating for your home? Give me a call for a no-obligation consultation and we can chat!

How to: choose a chandelier for over your dining room table.

Choosing the style of a chandelier to fit with the decor in your dining room can often be daunting enough, but adding in the concerns about sizing to the mix is important. Much like Goldilocks and the three bears, getting the size of the chandelier “just right” is what brings the room’s design to the next level. So how do you choose the proper size? It’s actually easier than you might think. The key is in choosing your dining table for the room before you choose anything else.

Why, you might ask? Well, it’s because the size of the table greatly impacts the size of your ideal future chandelier! Too small and it will look cheap and dinky above the table, and will make the room feel poorly lit. However, too large means it will visually overpower the room, and guests might bonk their head. So then what’s the perfect formula?

1. Purchase the dining room table
2. Measure the width of dining table
3. Subtract 12” from the width
4. That should be the width of the chandelier you buy

By taking the time to ensure you’ve gotten the proper measurements and size of chandelier, you will enjoy your lighting for years to come. The room will feel bright, proportionally comfortable, and welcoming for guests. Do you need help selecting the perfect chandelier? As a designer I have access to design catalogues and deals that I can pass on to my clients. Give me a call at Curtain Call Creationstoday and we’ll get started!

Let me tell you about my Blind Date—2

I’m sure we’ve all been here: you’re trying to save money on a project, and decide to do it yourself. But in the process, the materials you saved money on turn out to be the wrong materials for the job, and you eventually end up spending double to get it done.

I got a call from a client who had exactly that happen to her. In an attempt to save on fabric costs, she purchased some beautiful drapes overseas while visiting family and friends. When the drapes arrived, they were folded and the fabric had a very strong smell. She dry cleaned the drapes only to discover that there were permanent creases, and none of them fit her windows properly. We ended up having to start from scratch, selecting new fabric and having the drapes custom made to fit her windows. It was one of those live and learn situations that we’ve all experienced ourselves: if she’d only started here, it would have saved her money and quite a few headaches.

I like to share my knowledge with you so these kinds of things don’t happen to my clients. Custom drapery is costly, but my enthusiasm to help coupled with my years of experience can save you money in the long run. Do you have any design projects you’re working on that need a helping hand?

How to: Spectacular Summer S’mores Set Up

You all know I love my days and nights with my grandbabies. Now that some of them are growing out of their baby stages, I’ve been in search of some fun ideas we can do that all the family will enjoy. Since my backyard is one of my favorite places to be, my mind went to things we can do out there. Enter: the Spectacular Summer S’mores Set Up! Having S’more supplies ready to go for any night is key to bringing s’more joy to your family night. You’ll want to keep it hidden away, trust me…there are some goodies in this set up that kiddos and husbands will beeline to if they know they’re always there. However, it’s guaranteed to bring smiles to your loved ones faces, no matter the age.

Fire pit or fire table
Of course a fire is key to creating a s’more, and there are options to which style suits your family better. I personally love the smell and ambiance of a fire started with wood, so I tend to lean towards the fire pit option. There are plenty of designs available on the market to match the decor in your backyard. Furthermore, they tend to be less expensive and less maintenance. Some folks prefer a fire table, which uses propane to ignite the fire. Fire pits come in many styles and sizes, but the commonality is that they tend to be more pricey than a fire pit. Additionally, you will need supplies beyond just the fire table, such as a cover and a propane tank. Which option do you prefer?

Amazing S’mores Ingredients
It’s time to think beyond just the basics, and get a little bougie here. Believe me when I say the joyful squeals will be well worth the extra effort you put in. Here are some of my family’s favorite options:

* Jumbo Marshmallows
* Regular and chocolate graham crackers
* Regular Hershey’s chocolate and Hershey’s cookies n’ cream (white chocolate with cookies)
* Reese’s Thins (skinnier than the regular ones, and perfect for fancy s’mores)
* Marshmallow holders/twigs found in the yard

Simply start up the fire, arrange the items in bowls on a tray, and get ready for the smiles to light up the faces. I hope you all enjoy!

Laundry Room Design & Organization Tips

When it comes to the laundry room/closet, I find that it’s often an overlooked space. Clothes and supplies strewn haphazardly about doesn’t make for a feeling of peace when doing laundry. And let’s be honest: that’s not always a task that is the most enjoyable. Of course it doesn’t have to be a designer workshop, but there are several things you can do to make the room more visually appealing and useful. Function is more important than form in this space, but it doesn’t mean it can’t look more aesthetically pleasing.

* Continue the color story from the room next to the laundry
There’s no need to create an entirely new design in this space. Simply use the same paint and accent colors from the space directly next to the laundry room. It will give the room a more cohesive look, especially if there isn’t a door to close the room off from the rest of the house.

* Focus on useful storage
Putting in some shelving units to hold all the various items needed for laundry will be a life saver for the cleanliness of your room. Be sure to consider where you will store your baskets, cleaning supplies, hangers, clothespins, and fold the clothes once they are clean.

* Use large glass jars, and wicker or wire baskets to hold your supplies
Having your supplies neatly organized will go a long way in making the space feel more designer, and remain looking clean. Furthermore, you’ll be able to easily see everything you need, so no more searching for those new supplies you know you put in here somewhere…

* Be consistent with brands you buy (or make your own cleaners)
While labels on cleaning supplies aren’t made to look pretty, it looks much more pleasing to the eye when the brands/colors of bottles are all the same. If you stick to one brand, even looking at your the supplies will be more peaceful. Or, go the extra mile like I do, and make your own! It’s easy, inexpensive, and natural. Plus, it looks amazing organized in glass containers because it doesn’t stand out like a big orange bottle would.

* Everything should match
This tip may seem foolish, but the reason many laundry rooms look haphazard is because all of the supplies of various colors. By choosing a neutral color palette for things like a broom and dustpan, and continuing to buy supplies in that neutral shade, the room looks less chaotic and more visually appealing.

While you certainly don’t need to invest a lot of time or money in your laundry room, I hope these tips will help you to make it a more welcoming room in your home. We sure spend enough time in there; may as well make it a place we enjoy being!
