Do you think you’re a creative person? If you just said no, then you need to keep reading. If you said yes, then keep reading and then forward this to someone who needs to hear/believe that they ARE creative.

Sometimes being creative for a design, editing, or event planning project can bring on overwhelm and anxiety. Just thinking of an art project to decorate your home can be daunting. This is a great time to read or listen to the book “The War of Art” by Steven Pressfield.

Everyone is creative in unique ways which is a great thing since we are always looking for the next and the newest. Reinvention is a great place to start when it feels like all the “new” ideas or designs have already been done. Take a piece of outdated furniture for example, say a velvet side chair or a brass 80’s floor lamp. Look solely at the shape of the item and reimagine it in a different color, your favorite color. An old piece of furniture has great bones and has the potential to look like a completely new item with the right color or upholstery. This is simple and low cost exercise to get your creativity ignited and flowing for the brilliant new ideas that are waiting to burst out of you.

“Start before you’re ready. Good things happen when we start before we’re ready.”
