Sanctuaries Design

Happy Friday! While many are in various phases of staying home, there's an increase in home improvement projects. I love how this project turned out. Those red bricks weren't going anywhere, and the homeowners were looking to update it from beige. The palette I selected gives it a timeless look, and turns the bricks into a feature instead of dilemma. Winter's Park for the base, Carbon for the trim and gutters, Whitest White for garage doors and windows, and Bicyclette for the... front door, all by Kelly Moore. Reach out if you've not yet hit the right combo for your home! . . . . . . . . . . #sanctuariesdesign #danvilleliving #danvilleca #danvilleliveryandmercantile #kellymoore #kellymoorepaint #covid19projects #classicdesignstyle #paintingprojects #curbappealmatters #curbappealupdates #bayarealifestyle #homesonstagram #paintingchallenges #paintcolorcombo #featurefriday #houseenvy #designtips #exteriorpainting See more

I'm guessing there are a lot of closets, cupboards, and garages getting cleaned out these days. Goodwill tends to get the lion's share of donations, so let's t...ry to spread the love to other worthy charities and services. Comment below with your county or city, and your favorite place to send donations. Making this public so we can collectively do a lot of good. Feel free to share! See more

Tuesday truths

Something's going haywire with my posts, especially those coming from Instagram. I'm sure it's a storage issue on my device, but that hasn't bubbled up to the top of my to do list quite yet. That said, the latest video is of my favorite diffuser and Wintergreen scent, which always do the job when I'm in need of a quick pick-me-up. Spearmint and orange also share space at the top. As with all essential oils, please use caution and check toxicity of them if you have indoor pets.

As many of you have probably guessed, the design and decor industry is considered non-essential. I completely agree with that categorization during a crisis like the one we face. But as a self-employed contractor (i.e. no unemployment, sick leave, vacation time, etc) I'm not going to lie and pretend I'm not worried about my ability to make ends meet as we wait this out. However, my tried and true recipe for alleviating that particular strain of anxiety is to throw myself into... helping others. To that end, I'm committing to spotlighting other small businesses who could use your support, asking for your feedback as we all navigate this new territory, and whatever else I'm inspired to do in the coming days/weeks. Please check back, help spread the word, and engage when inspired. This is a space for inspiration, help, healing, and positivity. Any comments that are disrespectful, mean, or inflammatory will get deleted and users blocked. Doesn't mean we can't have a good laugh, and if you know me, gallows humor is my middle name, but there will be boundaries. So, to start things off, and for those of you getting used to home brewing in lieu of your daily coffee run, please check out Clayton Coffee and Tea. Everything about this company is fantastic...from products, to business model of supporting their growers, to customer service. Based in Modesto, but family owned right here in the Bay Area. I don't even like coffee, but their Organic Mexico Chiapas makes the best mochas, and I'm a huge fan of their Spiced Rooibos tea. But don't ask me...ask my sister-in-law, a coffee connoisseur extraordinaire from Europe, who's on her second year of a monthly subscription. And right now, to ease our pain of life being a little topsy-turvy, they're offering free shipping. Check them out, and thank me later.

Giving Tuesday is here! Stop on by to go through the freebies or shop clearance items. Remember, proceeds from purchases will go to charities. If you're not local but see something you like, or want more details, send me a message. We'll figure it out. . . . . .... . . . . . #givingtuesday2019 #givingbackfeelsgood #sanctuariesdesign #danvilleinteriordesign #danvilleinteriordesigngallery #liveryandmercantile #danvilleliveryandmercantile #shoplocalbayarea #shoplocaldanvilleca #supportsmallbusiness #danvillecalove #fabricfun #designerfabricsforsale #fabriccrafting See more
