How do you like to spend time with your family at How do you like to spend time with your family at home? We pretty much spend most nights together as a family at dinner time and some weekends sit in the family room watching our favorite shows or a great movie.😀⁠ .⁠ This month is all about a functioning home. I am a firm believer that the design statement, Function First! is an important part of making decisions when decorating your home. ⁠ Today talking about Family Rooms... .⁠ So I thought I would share with you 3 important questions you should ask yourself about the function of a family room before starting a design project. 👍⁠ .⁠ 1. How is the layout of the furniture? Does it work? Can you move around easily?⁠ .⁠ 2. What type of seating will be needed?​ Is it used for tasks, just relaxing, or maybe both? (Does Dad just want a comfy chair… Do the kids lay on the couch?)⁠ .⁠ 3. Who is using the room? is it used for entertaining friends and family or really used for your whole family to gather?​⁠ .⁠ These are so important before choosing fabrics and colors. If you do have a family room that functions for your family, then you literally can not function. It is all about creating a happy space the whole family can enjoy. 🙌 Click on the link in my bio to see more of this blog post. ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #functionalinteriordesign #familyfriendly #funforall #familytime #familyforever #familygoals #familylifestyle #momlife #momswhoblog #markergirlhome #houstontinteriordesign #houstoninteriordesigner #houstondesign #familyroom #livingroom #midcenturymodern #familyhome #functionaldesign #momdesigner #momfriendly #instahome #interiorinspiration #decoratingtips #designlovers #decoratingideas #instadecorating #designanddecoration #interiordesign ⁠
Happy Mardi Gras Y'all! I couldn't be there this y Happy Mardi Gras Y'all! I couldn't be there this year but remembering the great time I had last year with family and friends. 💜💚💛⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ . #neworleans #mardigras #nola #fattuesday #nawlins #carnivaltime #instagood #love #momlife #family #happy #markergirlhome
Big Announcement Coming Soon! 😍⁠ .⁠ "You Go Big Announcement Coming Soon! 😍⁠ .⁠ "You Got This" is my phrase this year. I am so excited to be announcing something special I have been working on for quite a long time is finally going to be out soon. It's something that supports my "You Got This" message. This is one of a few new exciting things coming this year for Marker Girl. 👏⁠ .⁠ Let the countdown begin! ⏰ ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ..⁠ #design #home #designer #mompreneur #femaleentrepreneur #ladyboss #girlboss #womeninbusiness #entrepreneur #momlife #motherhood #mycreativebiz #creativeentrepreneur #creativelifehappylife #calledtobecreative #creativepreneur #womeninbiz #workingmom #solopreneur #markergirlhome #makeyourmark
Wellness Saturday’s - I’m getting really perso Wellness Saturday’s - I’m getting really personal today. I am sharing because my message today is to take care of yourself and don’t give up. 👍⁠ .⁠ Pictured are my reads right now trying to work on my own unique plan of less stress and finding the right unique diet and a few supplements to help me.😊⁠ .⁠ After years of suffering, I am taking a new path of being in control of this myself not focusing on the 12-year rollercoaster my health has taken me and not just letting others be in control of it. Hopping from doctor to doctor, going on extreme diets, and taking supplements/medications that didn’t work has caused me more challenges. I really did a deep dive over the holidays to understand things better. Crazy I did something for myself. 😝⁠ .⁠ Starting off pretty good this month with more answers than I have I had in years from a few simple tests I asked for. I now see that I need to make this the #1 priority in my life and really do this my way. 🙌⁠ .⁠ As I go through this journey I need a place to hold myself accountable and be positive so I opting to journal a very small positive thing or something that has helped me each week on Wellness Saturdays is my way to do it. ☀️⁠ .⁠ I will not give up and know this is my year to really get this done. Are you with me 2020 is this going to be our “You Got This Year!”❤️⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #wellness #health #motivation #momslife #happy ⁠ #healthy #lifestyle #healthyliving #inspiration #healthylifestyle #strong #love #instagood #yougotthis #mompreneur #momsofinstagram #cleaneating #positivevibes #selfimprovement #happiness #personaldevelopment #markergirlhome #wellnesssaturday
Here is our final tip from this week's blog post. Here is our final tip from this week's blog post. What does your home say about you?⁠ 😀⁠ I read somewhere once that each room in your home can represent where you are in your life. Style is a wonderful way to look at what your home says about you and makes a statement about who you are… But if you don’t focus on the functional first you will never really be able to get the home you love.⁠ ❤️⁠ Refresh your Bedroom - Make your bed every morning so you come home to a more functioning refreshing space. Getting new bedding a great way to start by adding a pop of color and something comfortable is a great way to update it. Lighting needs to be dimmable for how you want it to function for you too.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #momlife #interiordesign #masterbedroom #masterbedroomretreat #interiordesignerhouston #bedroomdecor #instadesign #interiorstyling #bedroomdesign #bedding #love #art #interiorinspiration #homedecor #mompreneur #moderndesign #bluebedroom #classicdesign #houstoninteriors #houstondesigner #houstonhome #thatmomlife #busymomlife #momretreat #bedroom #markergirlhome #workingmomlife #workingmom
Here is another tip from this weeks blog post What Here is another tip from this weeks blog post What does your home say about you?⁠ 😀⁠ I read somewhere once that each room in your home can represent where you are in your life. After reading this a few years ago I really started to look around at each room, and it really motivated me to work on those rooms I had been neglecting. ⁠ 😍⁠ In Family Areas - Really look at the layout of your furniture and ask the members of your family why they don't like the space. I found out from my kids they didn't like the chairs we had in the Gameroom they had outgrown them. My two kids wanted a sectional so each one had their side. You should really look at what is not working to get answers to what you need and could work for your family. How many seats so everyone can sit comfortably? Are you a put your feet up kind of family? Is there a place to put drinks where you sit? Questions like these really allow for better planning your space.
