Creating A Corporate Office Image From Your Spare Bedroom
Like it or not, there is still a segment of the population who will erroneously conclude that you and your business are less than professional and competent just because you run your business out of your home.
Dumb? Obviously! Narrow-minded? Yes! Wrong? Absolutely! Unfair? No question! Want their business? Well ... yes. OK, then you're going to have to play the game and beat them at it. Here's how to do it. It's a little sneaky, but hey, all's fair and they did start it.
INCORPORATE
First off, incorporate. Nothing screams "CORPORATE!" to our friend the dumb, narrow-minded, wrong, unfair Potential Client as an LLC, Pty Ltd or PLC (depending on where you conduct business) on your letterhead and business card.
Not only does this appease Potential Client, there are some very good tax and other advantages to incorporation which are well worth the modest cost. Talk to your attorney or accountant about this.
OFFICE ADDRESS
The next problem you have with Potential Client is that you don't want your home address to give you away. What do you think looks more professional in Potential Client's eyes: 123 Cherryblossom Way, Apt. 103, Suburbia or 123 Major Blvd, Level 37, Big City?
The answer is a serviced office. These don't have to cost a lot of money if you use them pretty much as a post office but they CAN give your business all the big-city prestige your Potential Client is looking for.
An additional advantage is that you can use your serviced office to meet with Potential Client. After all, the last thing you want is to have him coming to your REAL office! Heaven forbid! Most serviced offices will make meeting rooms available for a flat fee.
TELEPHONES
This is probably the trickiest part of all. How do you know it's safe to answer the phone in your home office even though the sounds of your young children playing just outside your office door will be heard by the caller? You simply don't.
There is a simple way of dealing with this. Only give your home office number to existing clients. They already know you are professional and competent and should therefore have no issue with the fact that you work from home.
For anyone else, give out the number of an answering service that will answer the call in your company name and can tell callers that you're in a meeting with another client and take a message. Your serviced office will offer this service as well.
You can then return the call at a time when you know tell-tale background noise won't give you away.
In fact, a trick some people who work from home use when returning calls is to run a tape of office background noise. This both gives the impression you are working in a large office AND it masks any slight tell-tale household noises that may, despite your best efforts, give you away.
Once Potential Client becomes an actual client and you've proved to his satisfaction that you are professional and competent, you can tell him that you've decided to start working out of your home to reduce unnecessary overheads and give him your direct phone number.
No matter how enlightened your client-base is as a general rule, it is imperative that the telephone be answered in a businesslike manner. I don't care how sympathetic, supportive and admiring your clients are of your decision to balance your work and family commitments by running a successful business from home, there is nothing cute about a five year old answering your business line. It's unprofessional, not to mention downright annoying.
Speaking for myself, I also find it annoying and unprofessional for a spouse to answer the business line. I'd much prefer to leave a message with your answering service than your wife or husband, thank you very much. At least I can be sure you'll get the message. But that may just be me ... decide for yourself.
So have a separate phone line for your business and lay down the law to your household that no-one, NO-ONE, is to answer it but you (unless, of course, you're employing your teenage children in your business in which case they should be instructed on how to answer the telephone in a professional manner). If you're away from your office, divert your calls to your answering service.
Something else to think about is the image of your email address. Which is Potential Client to consider more corporate/professional: maryann@isp.com or m.entrepreneur@mycompanyllc.com?
It's worth spending $35 a year on your own domain name just for the professional email address, even if you never intend to create a website. Mind you, if you're going to have your own domain why NOT create your own website? But that's another article ...
STATIONERY AND PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS
It goes without saying that your stationery, business cards and other promotional materials should reflect a professional corporate image. If you have incorporated your business, this is a good start. A company name on letterhead and business cards can't fail to convey a professional image provided they are professionally printed on quality stationery stock.
OFFICE EQUIPMENT
There's no point having quality stationery if you're going to use a cheap and cheerful inkjet printer for your correspondence. Invest in a medium quality laser printer instead. They don't cost a lot of money these days and you can get a unit that triples as a fax machine and photocopier for only a few hundred dollars.
So, what do you think? You may be thinking "I wonder whether it's really worth the effort to try and please just a small number of potential clients". Is it worth it? Maybe. But look back over the suggestions I have made. Are they really anything more than basic, common sense, professional business practices? Regardless of what your potential and existing clients may think about the concept of businesses run out of their owners' homes, first impressions do count. Wouldn't the above approach be a good one to take with ALL your potential clients whatever their personal disposition? Just something to think about.

Get More Closet Space In Your Bedroom
Everyone can use more closet space, but how do you increase your bedroom closet capacity without adding an addition or taking away from the space in your room?
One way is to get better organized. A good closet design, can take a clutter stuffed closet and make it seem more roomy. With the right design, you'll have plenty of places to store your clothes, shoes, hats and other accessories. Plus, the best part is that you'll be able to access the clothes easily and they won't be all smooshed together and wrinkled.
If your closet is simply a pole that reaches from end to end, then you simply must revamp it! With some clothing specific furniture, you'll be able to get more organized and avoid the frustration of pawing through the closet searching for what you need. Of course, you must take accurate measurements and scour the stores for the perfect closet organizing system for your closet. Take care not to buy one that is too big, or too small for your space.
If you have money to burn, there's some great pre-made bedroom closet designs which are made from nice wood and can be installed in your closet. There's also some similar modular design components made from less costly materials that can do the same trick. Make sure you buy materials that will be sturdy enough to hold your items and last the test of time.
When selecting the modular pieces for your closet and creating the overall desingn, you need to think about what type of clothing you have and which items you wear the most. Do you have tons of shoes, but not a lot of shirts? Then you'll want more storage units for shoes. If you have a lot of hats, scarves and purses, make sure you design in storage space for those. Your bedroom closet design should be customized to the types of clothing and accessories you own.
Have you always admired that walk in closet your best fried has? Well you don't have to have to have a big walk in closet to get lots of storage space! You can buy design units for reach in closets and, of course if you have a huge closet you can even buy islands that go in the middle of the closet for extra drawer and folding space!
There's different modular units you can purchase to organize your closet and there's a different unit for almost any type of clothing or accessory you can think of. Some of the units you can select from include:
- Shoe Cubes - individual cubes fit your shoes perfectly so that you can easily see what shoes you have and select the right ones.
- Tiered Tie Racks - tiered rods display your ties individually without taking up too much space. Makes selecting a tie a snap.
- Drawer Units - a small bureau inside your closet provides drawer space for those little things you don't want to leave out in the open.
- Shelves - for folding sweater and jeans or holding purses, hats or what have you.
- Slide Out Bins - integrate your laundry basket into your closet - use slide out bins to store dirty laundry, then simply slide them out and bring down to the laundry room on wash day.
How much space can you gain? You might be surprised to learn that a well planned design can double or triple your closet space! Using stacked rods for those shorter items can help you get twice the amount of closet out of the same space and other units help to organize and store accessories in stacks leaving you with lots of closet space to store those new clothes and shoes!

Funky Pillows For Your Living Room
Last spring, I changed the shower curtain in my master bathroom. Frankly, I was sick of the old one. However, I always liked the fabric and pattern, which was heavy and golden with intricate blue threading, so I really didn't want to throw it away. Instead, I laundered and ironed the curtain. Then I stored it in a trunk and almost forgot about it.
More recently, it happened that my tired living room needed some updating. The matching sofa and loveseat were in a high traffic area, as they hosted many a guest at the fireplace as well as the television. The set definitely had a lived in feel to it, but it was still in good enough condition to remain useable. As well, I truly did not want to make a major investment in new furniture. It was time to apply some tried and true home interior decorating ideas.
First, I changed the accessories on my mantel. I placed two green pillar candles-one tall, one short on either side of a grouping of hard covered books. Next I hung an antique mirror and framed painting from my great grandmother that I had kept in the attic for years. Finally, I added a few plants.
By then the room felt a lot better, but I still hadn't done anything about the sofa and loveseat except rearrange them. I tried to think of something I could do inexpensively to freshen up the look of my furniture. I thought about slipcovers and throws as I went shopping. While mentally dreading the thought of spending a few hundred dollars, I somehow remembered my old shower curtain.
With my creative energies now being tapped, I borrowed my neighbor's sewing machine. Knowing I did not inherit my seamstress mother's gift or love of sewing, I could at the very least try my luck at a straight line. I took two throw pillows from the old couch set and measured my shower curtain around them. After a few botched attempts, I managed to cover the old pillows with the old fabric, thus creating two new and I dare say chic accessories. I could feel the gratitude emanating from the old sofa and loveseat as I proudly displayed these beauties on them. My entire living room was updated and I was happy. I also saved a bunch of cash to boot.
For the icing on the cake, I lightly misted the room with Tangerine Organic Essential Oil (20 drops added to 3 ounces of water in a spray bottle). This transformed the atmosphere of the room from drab and tired to warm and uplifting.
The moral of the story is: with a little imagination, you can make something new from something old. Also recycle your old shower curtain if it is made of a cotton-blend fabric. If you don't want to transform it into a throw pillow, you can at least cut it into squares for your rag bag and use it to clean your living room and bathroom.

An ideal bedroom. Part2.
An ideal bedroom. Part2.
At will you can finish bedroom walls with wood, cloth, veneer sheet or cork. Natural materials are distinguished by the characteristic structure and color, they do not have cheerless monotony and always look warm and lively, which is especially topical for creating comfort in the bedroom.
Partially the image of the bedroom is defined by color that dominates in its setting.
Blue or dark blue plunge you into the thoughts of coolness and sky space. Green tones are associated with spring, freshness, they favor relaxation, but their emotional restraint requires active support from warm colors. Beautiful combinations are made as a result of combining pale shades with rich, saturated color and light.
Yellow gamma is like sun rays, it warms and animates the room, but it is recommended that vast yellow surfaces are freshened with fragments of other saturated colors.
It is better to soften orange by combining it with cool key of gray-blue or one can experiment with its pale shades. Red is considered "to cheer up", but it is difficult to wake up in such a bedroom. It is better to use red colors as a light accent.
Violet is deep and expressive, especially in combination with mild yellow or green background.
Ascetic black-and-white gamma is actively used in popular minimalist stylizations. But the best decision for bedroom is thought to be shades of white that remind of baked milk or soft gray that approaches the color of flax linen.
Effective are combinations of light and dark, weak and saturated colors.
Textile plays the dominant role in the decorative finishing of the bedroom, even more so because cloth decorations are can be easily replaced at will. The chief textile topic of the bedroom is connected with finishing of the window and the bed.
The surface of walls and floor in this case serves as background: monotonous walls harmonize with variegated cloths with saturated colors; patterned wallpapers or a gay carpet, conversely, match one-color textile. However, interesting can be also the decision, when textile and walls are covered with one pattern. Upon basically finishing the bedroom, one can proceed to curtains.
Usually they are made from soft, well-draped clothes. The ideal variant is curtains of medium thickness that disperse intense daylight and soften light contrasts. If the window is on the sunny side, it is better to complement light curtains with thick ones, small screen rollers or Venetian blinds. The shape and pattern of the curtains can change the proportions of the window and influence the geometry of the room.
A small embrasure in the spacious wall can be visually increased by means of covering the whole window wall with curtains.
You should avoid using cloth with big pattern in a small bedroom with a great window opening, as this will even more diminish the room.
While choosing cloth for curtains, you should also consider a bedspread and bed-clothes.
The easiest thing is to make bed-spread from the same cloth, as the curtains, and bed-clothes - by one or two tones lighter. A more original decision is a complex combination of cloths with different patterns and various textures, which reflect light in a different way.
Bed-clothes can be combined in the following way: a one-color sheet that matches the general coloring of the bedroom plus multicolored pillow-cases and blanket cover.
Have you decided on the planning, style, materials, color and textile?
The next stage is choosing the lighting.
It is better to avoid direct, open, collimated light in the bedroom, because it creates deep shadows. Disperse light can be achieved with the help of lamp-shades, plafonds from suffused glass or mosaics - it is the so-called general, orientating light. And finally, it is impossible to imagine a bedroom without accent lighting: table, wall and floor night-lamps, built-in or hung up in the head bed lamps. They calm down and tune in for sleep.
These are some brief pieces of advice in design of "intimate space" of your house. Of course, advice is not a dogma, but it should be taken into the account, when you get to bedroom in your fantasies about repair-work.
