One month into 2021 and we are still moving along and making it happen.
Hey fans of LCAD!
So happy you are here, striving and thriving.
So as the first month is coming to a close, how did we do? Did we set resolutions, did we hit or miss any new goals already?
I set a goal to hit my Peleton pretty hard and so far so good! I'm somewhat addicted to it. "Peleton Therapy" if you will. Another goal was to reach out to you and share more design projects, behind the scenes, and share all the tips and tricks I can think of!!!

So as we wave goodbye to January, here are a quick 3 great things I would recommend to change your cozy up your home environment for the better, immediately.

Get Your Music On!
Add some music in your home. Adding a surround system is something that 100% of our new build and remodel projects have. Having proper sound to play your favorite music sets a beautiful mood in your home. If you are into smooth Jazz, Contemporary Jazz, Classic Rock, Rhythm & Blues, Classical or a combination of all of them, it definitely can set a serious vibe in your home.
Need to get a project done?..... throw on some music, need to relax and unwind?......throw on some music, need to get a workout in throw on some music...... having a get together? Don't make me say it.... you know what to do.
If you already have a surround system in your home you already know and are fully picking up what I'm throwing down. It just works on all levels! Music for the win!

Keep it Cozy
It may seem random to say keep it cozy and keep it moving, right? It's so much more than just a saying. If your home is ultra modern or cool, beachy, and casual, you can have what I call "Cozy Moments."
Adding throws and pillows is one of the super easy ways to keep it cozy.

If you are the clean and casual type you can fold it nice and neat over the edge of the sofa. Its stays nice and tucked away but that small action adds another layer to the room and makes it just a smidge warmer! On a side note, does anyone think the word smidge is strange? Not even gonna lie, I stepped away from this blog and fell in a rabbit hole of definitions, synonyms and antonyms of the word SMIDGE!

I am back now, having fought my back from the hole of info and I'm officially an expert on the word. My awards and acknowledgments are being mailed to my office. Don't worry I'll update you when they arrive.
The bottom line is those small changes actually DO change the feel of your home. They add texture and texture is your friend in the "cozy moments" game!!! Oh and so is the word smidge! :)

Something Green
So adding something green can really change the way your home feels. We were really designed to be outside so adding something from nature really helps make a home feel, cozy and homey and what not.
So the saying goes. "Something old , something clean, something new and something green!"

Okay I just made that up, but you get my point. Get some nature in there! Succulents are always my go to!!!

I am not my mother. She hums and smiles and sings and things grow. I on the other hand, give my plants a birth certificate , name them, water them , pray over them , give them sunlight, read books on horticulture, watch youtube videos and they still leave me wilted, shriveled and regretting ever entering this designer's household. So succulents are little more forgiving and will stay alive for awhile in most homes.

So there are 3 quick things you do to easily change your home environment!
