ZHOOZ IT UP!!

ZHOOZ ( TO GLAM UP, GIVE A CERTAIN JE NAIS SE QUA)


I SCOUR FLEA MARKETS, TRASH HEAPS, GARAGE & TAG SALES, HAVE PICKERS LOOK FOR “JUNQUE” FOR ME. I LOVE THE HUNT AND AM ALWAYS IN “ON” MODE, “LEAVE NO STONED UNTURNED” IS MY MOTTO OR SHOULD I SAY “LEAVE NO JUNQUE HEAP UNTURNED”
I LOVE ITEMS WITH CHARACTER, THAT TELL A STORY, THE MORE PRIMITIVE THE BETTER.

SOME OF MY FAVE TIPS I USE OR EMPLOY IN MY DECORATING:



TO GIVE HIGH IMPACT TO A WINDOW HANG THE CURTAIN, FABRIC OR DRAPES HIGHER THAN THE WINDOW, IT ADDS DRAMA & STYLE.
IF YOU HAVE AN ORNATE FRAME OR WANT TO ZHUZZ ONE UP HANG IT FROM A PIECE OF LINEN OR HEMP

AN OLD FRAME OR TIN CEILING SQUARE LOOKS GREAT AS A CEILING MEDALLION








YOU SPY THE UGLIEST LOVESEAT AT A SALE & TRANSFORM IT INTO A ONE OF A KIND SEAT: TICKING, LINEN,A METALASSE OR CHENILLE BEDSPREAD. REFASHION & REPURPOSE IS THE BARGAIN HUNTERS CREED




AREN'T THAT IMPRESSED WITH YOUR FRIDGE (STANDING OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB IN THAT KITCHEN? PANEL IT & SWITCH OUT THE HANDLES WITH GATE LATCHES.



LOCKERS, SUITCASES, BASKETS HIDE A MUTLITUDE OF KITSCH, THAT YOU CAN ROTATE LATER WHEN THE MOOD STRIKES FOR ANOTHER REDO.



USE AN OLD FRAME AS A MENU BOARD IN THAT FRENCH KITCHEN. JUST PUT A PIECE OF LUAN IN THE MIDDLE OF IT & SPRAY WITH CHALKBOARD PAINT



FOR A FRENCH LOOK PAIR AN OUTSIDE BENCH WITH YOUR KITCHEN TABLE OR USE YOUR METAL OUTDOOR TABLE & CHAIRS FOR A CAFÉ LOOK
HOW CAN YOU MAKE EVERYDAY OBJECTS MORE INTERESTING? GIVE IT ZHOOZ!!!
