PERMANENT FAT REMOVAL SOLUTIONS With the coming spring weather, more patients are looking to permanent fat removal solutions to help with resolutions or prep for summer weather. Here’s a quick look at the most common cosmetic medical fat removal procedures:

and there is no downtime after treatment. These methods can be repeated to achieve more dramatic results, and work best for persons with stubborn areas that aren’t responding to diet or exercise.

Injectable Fat Removal

These methods go under the skin to melt fat with a laser and remove it from the body. This method produces the most dramatic result, and does not need to be repeated. The skin is tightened by the laser during the process, which aids in producing such a dramatic result. Often, the cost may be less than other methods.

Injections melt fat and your body removes the dead fat cells. This method has little downtime and little discomfort, but is reserved for small areas like a chin or ankles.

The injections can only melt a certain amount of fat at a time, so multiple treatments are usually required. Injections can be completed in about 15 minutes, and repeated monthly.

Non-Invasive Fat Removal External methods of fat removal work by heating or cooling the area to cause damage to fat cells, which your body then removes. These methods are popular because nothing enters the body,

Cover Story

E R UNIONS Will they be the same without YOU? Reunions, Remembering and Returning

er, 1986 Amy Brietn

By Chris Watson

There’s No Place Like Home

Steve Helwig has to travel to his reunions, and not just a few miles. “The first reunion I attended was my 10 year and I still lived in the town I went to school in.” Helwig, a Perrysburg resident and Sales Manager at Auto Wares, graduated in the

Class of 1979 from Macomb High School in central Illinois. “It was easy to attend that reunion. I just had to drive across town and show up.”

Helwig’s next reunion was much different. “For my 35th I had to drive around 7 hours. It was much more of a commitment. Not only was it different to have to travel back instead of just show up but my motivations had changed. I heard one person say that at our 10th we were all working on our resumes — who we knew, what we had done, where we had been, that sort of thing. By the 35th we were working on eulogy virtues — who we helped, what causes we supported, where we had been of service. It was a tremendous difference.”

Helwig doesn’t’ regret the travel or the experience. “Of course there were people there I wanted to see and they showed up. I was also both shocked and saddened by the table of pictures of graduates who were no longer with us. I saw a picture of someone I really wanted to reconnect with. In some respects the trip became a time of reflection and gratitude. Reflections about what I experienced and who I remembered of course. But also gratitude for all that I have around me; family, friends, even my ability to be able to come back in the first place.”

Somebody’s Has to Do It

The problem with reunions is that someone has to put them together.

Breitner knows this problem well.

“When I was at my 20th the guy who had been organizing our reunions announced that he was going to have to back away. He had done such a great job but he lived out of town and had felt it was time to pass the baton. I was having such a good time I thought, ‘why not?’ So I kept it in the back of my mind to be one of the organizers for the 30th.”

Brietner started out, like so many people who want to reconnect do, with social media. A Facebook post from another alumni was calling out for people who might want to help be part of the organizing committee. “I knew I wanted the reunions to continue so I made contact. It turns out we had the same goals. We wanted to keep the whole thing simple and easy.

We also wanted to make sure that everyone who wanted a voice got one.

Finally, we wanted to make sure that the work was spread around. It is supposed to be fun, not a burden.”

Steve Helwig, 1979

For some of us, high school was one of the best times of our lives, while others couldn’t escape soon enough.

Regardless of your experience, we all now face the reunion.

“I had so much fun at my 10th and then my 20th,” says Amy Brietner, a utilization management nurse at Toledo Hospital and a 1986 graduate of Bowsher High School. “At the time I wasn’t living here in Toledo. I hadn’t even intended to go to our 20th but I was just moving back to Toledo and a friend talked me into it.”

Amy’s story isn’t unusual. Many of us hesitate, or even actively avoid, going to our reunions. Our reasons are as varied as our High School experience. Time, travel, interest, even seeing the basic value in attending eludes us. Amy, however, became a big fan. “Our 20th was at the zoo in the then new African safari exhibit.

I was having so much fun catching up with people I actually missed dinner. No one was as surprised as I was that I would have such a good time.”

March 2017

Brietner and her classmates started about a year in advance with simple things, like when and where to hold the event. They worked out a budget and started scouting places. It turns out the planning was as much of a reunion as the event itself. “The funny thing is I didn’t really know the person with whom I started planning. We only knew of each other at Bowsher.

Now, however, we are great friends.”

Besides social media the planning committee reached out in other ways.

“After we picked our date in July we created an event page and a website.

We kept everyone informed of when and where the planning meetings were being held and we held the meetings on the south end near the old high school (now the site of Beverly K-8).

By keeping it simple it all came together pretty quickly and effortlessly.

We got close to 100 people out of a graduating class of over 300. It was what we expected and we were pleased with the results.”

Resources for Reunions

Facebook and social media remains one of the primary ways of reconnecting with High School mates and staying informed of events and reunions.

March 2017

Besides social media there are a variety of other resources available for checking on the status of your graduating class.

Toledo public schools has an alumni page with events and class info at tps. org. Most schools also have alumni pages that are easily located with a simple internet search. Even schools that are now closed, like DeVilbiss, Libbey and McAuley maintain websites or Facebook pages for alumni.

“I would say to those on the fence about going to a reunion, just do it.”

If you went to school out of town there are a variety of national sites that will help get you connected. ClassCreator.com, GroupTravel.org, and Highschoolnetwork.net are all sites that may list your school and your

class. A search of event management sites like Eventbrite and Eventzilla may also yield results. Each of these sites have varying degrees of services and may or may not require registration to use. As with all things on the internet, proceed at your own level of comfort. Finally, direct searches in the town of your high school along with generalized social media searches will either get you close to what your are looking for or an email address to contact.

“I would say to those on the fence about going to a reunion, just do it,” says Breitner enthusiastically. “Not only was it worth the work in organizing the reunion but it was worth the time I committed to go. Whether we want to admit it or not, these people helped shape us...and I say that with pride. They are worth rediscovering.”

Helwig agrees with the sentiment.

“The bottom line is that I am glad I went back. I did have apprehension but that went away. I have heard people say they won’t go back to a reunion because they don’t want to run into people they didn’t like. But people change. I certainly have. I was more than pleasantly surprised.”

REUNIONS Do not panic

By Pat Nowak

High School and college might not have been the best times, but they might not have been the worst times either… either way you survived. Now the invites come; ten twenty-five, forty and fifty year class reunions. Do you brush them off or do you secretly wonder whatever happened to all the brains and beauties ... and jocks and preps and stoners?

When I was faced with my reunions I thought what the heck – nice to see those girls that I spent so much time with and hadn’t seen for years. But along the way I watched people at reunions and learned some tips for survival. At one of my reunions six other girls and I connected and have kept in contact since, celebrating birthdays and going on annual trips.

An invitation to a reunion is an opportunity to meet former friends and discuss old memories. Friends gain weight, lose hair, change careers, so lighten up your expectations.

Don’t feel you need to give in to unrealistic expectations or invent a new identity. Often the most popular flunked out of college and the class beauty is overweight.

Just be yourself Issue Date: Apr. 1st Reserve By Mar. 15th

Three months before is not a time to try to lose 30 pounds, find a toupee or become a celebrity in your home town.

The night before is not the time to try a new hair color or style... that is a recipe for disaster. Be proud of who you are and what you have become. You may not be the president of a company but if you are happy, that is what counts most.

Many people feel this is the time that they need to overspend to impress and purchase clothing that will be noticeably expensive...not necessary. DO wear

8

something feisty, but not over-the-

top. Make sure to purchase comfortable shoes as you will be on your feet a long time and choose fashion looks that reflect your personality and make you look polished – this is not time to pull out the bell bottoms you wore as a senior.

At the event use icebreakers and make conversation about the subjects you actually learned in class with these people or the memories you shared with them. Conversation will then naturally move to what has happened since graduation. Be honest with information about the previous years both at the event and in any publication for the evening - with social media many can keep up with your past anyway - you don’t want to be branded a liar.

Don’t overindulge.

Are you nervous? Absolutely, and a drink may calm your anxiety. But when drinks are flowing at cocktail hour and dinner is an hour away, being overserved at your high school reunion is a pretty bad faux pas that might take you another ten years to remedy. Everyone is just as nervous as you are so make sure to relax, but don’t come unwound.

As you are leaving, make plans to see those people who you are sorry that you have not kept in contact with, and strive to do a better job.

Everyone goes to a class reunion with a little trepidation and a bit of second-guessing — am I going to be noticed? But think of a reunion this way – this foray into your past isn’t about getting reactions or receiving approval; it is about visiting a not-too-comfortable part of your past, but from a place of relative security and confidence.

Look Back Bob Snyder, The Coach Toledo’s Finest

By Tom Cole With Urban Meyer and Jim Harbaugh both being born in Toledo, this area has a strong influence on the current college football scene. But nobody holds a stronger grip as a football legacy than Toledo’s own Coach Bob Snyder.

Every time you watch a football game and the offense is wide open, say thank you to Coach Snyder. Bob was one of the most gifted football players to come out of the city of Toledo.

He was an all-State selection in football, playing at Libbey High School in 1930 and 1931.

From Ohio U. to the NFL

Bob went on to play at Ohio University as an incredible two-way player and also the punter and field goal kicker. Bob, who was later named to the Ohio University Hall of Fame, was drafted by the Pittsburgh Americans in 1936, a new pro football team in a league trying to rival the NFL. In 1937 Bob Snyder played with the Cleveland Rams; but Bob found his real home in professional football in 1939 when he went to play with the Chicago Bears He was a quarterback and a great kicker and the Bears won a number of championships. For a time, Bob held a number of Bear’s kicking records.

Bob transitioned to coaching as the LA Rams assistant coach in 1946 and then as Head Coach in 1947 (the youngest in the NFL), where his flashy quarterback was Bob Waterfield, whose wife was movie star, Jane Russell. Bob created an offense in LA in ’47 that broke all the passing and points scored records, and they turned LA upside down in ’47 — the quarterback, the coach and the movie star.

Conclusive stops

Bob’s coaching career continued as he went on to USC as an assistant coach in 1948, Green Bay Packers assistant in 1949, Toledo University Head Football Coach 1950, head coach of the Cavalry Stampeders in 1953, Villanova Assistant in 1954, then became assistant with the Pittsburgh Steelers and West Virginia and then back to

10

Toledo as Head Coach of a semi-pro team that played at Skeldon Stadium, the Toledo Tornado’s.

When Bob moved into coaching he had a unique ability to visualize a completely different way to play football— the T-Formation. What Edison was to electricity, Bob Snyder was to quarterbacks, the passing game and modern offense.

Several innovations

This is an example of Bob’s innovation. No one had ever thrown a forward pass to a running back. All passes went to wide receivers; Bob decided to put a running back in motion and throw him the ball. That changed the game of football forever, ushering in the modern passing offense you watch today.

Bob was the first to give African Americans the opportunity to play pro football in the NFL with his signing of Kenny Washington. Bob also hired Dick Houston, the first African American coach outside of traditional all-Black colleges, at the University of Toledo in 1950.

He was used as a special assistant coach consultant and asked to install the modern T-formation at Notre Dame which then had six undefeated football teams and four national championships. But all this does not tell the full story of the Coach. The little stories about Bob provide a full picture of his genius.

Years ago, my wife, Karen and I would meet Coach and his wonderful wife Maggie for breakfast many Saturdays. Bob would draw plays on a napkin or a menu, a constant flow of football information. I was coaching a high school team at the time and I asked him about a goal line running play he drew. As I pressed him about the play his face went radish red and Coach said, “Run it. It will work, Dummy.” I chuckle about it now. If Coach liked you, he called you “Dummy.” That next Friday night, my high school football team was lined up by the goal line. I called Bob’s play. We had practiced it in earlier in the week.

We ran it and scored a touchdown.

Moving On

Travel

fairs Manager for AAA Allied Group in Dayton, Ohio, notes that, “We are all living longer, healthier, more productive lives, and we are seeing many more ‘multi-generational’ groups traveling with grandparents. We all have the need to experience new places and learn about new destinations. Seniors nowadays have more income that they are willing to spend on enriching experiences and memories. They have worked hard all their lives and feel they deserve to travel while they still have their health.”

So, where and when do these seniors travel?

Sarah Rosenberger, Travel Consultant at Central Travel and Ticket (Spring Meadows office) agrees that grandparents (and great-grandparents) are “traveling like crazy,” because many of them have the time and the money (and the curiosity) about the rest of the world. “They really value travel,” she insists, “and they are willing to go everywhere. I’ve had seniors traveling to Egypt and Cuba, as well as more regional spots. They really see travel as a learning experience.”

Cruising is always great for seniors because travelers have a floating hotel, restaurant, hospital, and entertainment venue in one place, with exotic ports of call to explore as you step off the ship. “‘Small ship cruising’ is becoming very popular,” Ms. Antrician explains, but she recommends that seniors considering such vacations should check that the ship has elevators and a doctor on board in case of an emergency.

Patty Hicks, Regional Travel Sales Manager for AAA Club Alliance in Northwest Ohio, has several recommendations for seniors considering travel. “Many seniors are looking to travel to the beautiful and historic cities in Europe. But they must remember that the streets in many of those cities are made of cobblestone and are very uneven, preventing luxury buses from getting to the heart of these ma-

in good physical condition should for 29and years. check with their doctors before they travel to make certain that they are fit to travel.

Seniors should have a list of the medications they are taking, in case some meds get lost. Place medications in a carry-on bag or purse instead of a checked bag, which could get misplaced.” She also recommends Travel Insurance which protects travelers from unforeseen circumstances that could force seniors to cancel or interrupt trips.

Planning tips Both travel experts advise that travelers of any age use reputable websites, and be wary of sites that ask for large deposits or full payments up front, or if the details of the itinerary seem sketchy. Both recommended traveling with a group, or with at least one companion. The companion helps with the expenses as well as sharing the experiences, conversations, and memories, and can also serve as an advocate if an issue comes up.

Long-time world traveler and travel planner Rick Steves has a website full of good advice for senior travelers. Among his suggestions: Keep a copy of passports and airplane tickets; take extra hearing aid batteries; take extra glasses; include a magnifying glass for maps; take a full supply of prescriptions in original containers; check how your health insurance works overseas—Medicare is not valid outside the U.S. except in limited circumstances. He recommends checking on the availability of evacuation insurance, which will pay for moving a traveler to a hospital in the case of emergency. Watch for senior discounts (museums, restaurants, taxis, etc.) and senior activities (dances, parties, speeches, etc.) to participate in the life of the senior residents. There are so many places to go and so many sights to see…hope these tips help you to plan.

Best Credit Cards for People Over 55 Make prudent choices

by Michael Siebenaler You are over 55 and looking to apply for a credit card? The offers are all there but what is your best choice.

Be cautious - credit card debt can be a short-term solution creating a longterm problem so consider making lifestyle sacrifices to avoid future hardship. Do not depend on a credit card to purchase essential items for your daily living expenses, unplanned purchases, emergency use, home use or medications. Credit card debt can be a financial strain at any age, but especially for retirees on a limit=ed income.

While a credit card is a tool that can make purchases easier, be sure to pay your balance in full each time, and use this tool sparingly. Look at the small print and avoid any financial institution that does not clearly spell out terms and conditions. Research the terms and know your options.

Some considerations At this age, your credit score may not be such a vital determinant that affects other expenses in your life (loans, insurance, etc.) as that metric was in earlier years, but it’s still an important consideration. Know where you stand by checking your credit score. Making steady, small purchases can help you retain the highest score possible. You can check your credit score using services like www.myfico.com.

Consider the following factors when deciding to apply for credit cards: annual fees, introductory APR, ongoing APR, rewards rate, initial sign-up bonuses and any other bonus offers, but especially late fees, overlimit fees, cash advance fees and foreign transaction fees.

Many credit cards offer reward points for hotel stays and airline flights plus bonus offers/services like free checked baggage, which can save significant dollars since you’re already travelling. Credit cards can also help retirees maintain a positive credit score, which becomes important when refinancing a mortgage or buying a vacation home.

Card rewards Looking for the best rewards? Sam’s Club and Costco credit cards have above average rewards (Note: the Sam’s Club card posts your rewards once a year, so you have to wait longer).

Other cards like Amazon reward when used exclusively on www.amazon.com.

USAA (United Services Automobile Association), AARP (American Association of Retired Persons), American Express and Capital One have above average cash back reward programs without requiring you to be selective in your purchases. Regarding reward programs, remember that any balance transfers you might complete do not count toward spending/purchases.

Enjoy a healthy financial life with well-informed credit card activity while resisting that tempting instant gratification. Already in credit card debt? Don’t consolidate; do the “snowball method”. Organize your credit card debts from smallest to largest. Pay the most possible on the smallest bill while still keeping up with your minimum payments on all of the other cards. Work up the list to become debt free.

Credit cards may be a necessity in your life but using them prudently will insure financial security.

We Need a Healthy Lake Erie

Decrease farm waste getting into waterways

by Stephen Roberts PhD Lake Erie is an important and cherished resource which has serious problems due to harmful pollution, caused by toxic runoff from 146 Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO) located in the Western Lake Erie Basin (WLEB).

Pam Taylor, a member of Environmentally Concerned Citizens of South Central Michigan and the Michigan Sierra Club, won the 2016 Petoskey Prize for Environmental Leadership.

Concentrated Animal Feeding Pam lead the study, with three associates, to determine the number of CAFO livestock in the WLEB. Beginning with a number of 40,000 feedlot animals, that researchers had been working with, Taylor determined, by checking the records of the Michigan Dept. of Environmental Quality, Ohio Dept. of Agriculture, and Indiana Dept. of Agriculture, that 11,617,507 animals live in CAFOs in Ohio, Michigan and Indiana within the WLEB. That total— made up of 97,060 cows, 11,056,455 poultry, 9,200 research animals and 454,792 pigs— contributes 690,803,615 gallons of manure each year that puts Lake Erie at risk. Along with manure, runoff from the CAFOs includes antibiotics, pesticides and pathogens such as E.coli, which pollutes local waterways, causing Lake Erie algae outbreaks.

Manure and dissolved phosphorous are a supply of nourishment for the algae.

CAFOs cope with vast amounts of animal waste. 3,500 cows, for instance, produce the same amount of manure as 70,000 people.

16

Presently, the manure is stored in large lagoons where it is mixed with water and then sprayed on the fields. Because of flawed strategies for containing this material, manure laden runoff makes its way into our waterways.

Health Concerns Algae outbreaks can cause significant health problems. In August, 2014, due in part to the presence of Microcystin LR, almost 500,000 Toledo area residents were instructed to drink bottled water for three days because Toledo water from Lake Erie was deemed unsafe. Microcystin LR causes nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and fever.

CAFOs are also a problem for people who live nearby, because toxic gases produced by the manure make residents more likely to develop serious respiratory problems.

One way of regulating the animal waste allowed to flow into Lake Erie is to have the Lake designated as “impaired” by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

That designation and the power of the EPA will assist in developing a regional strategy and tougher pollution controls.

A local Toledo area group, Advocates for a Clean Lake Erie (ACLE), headed up by Mike Ferner, is working to have that designation applied to the Lake. Through this designation, and the work that followed, Chesapeake Bay was successfully cleaned up.

The Black Pearl Is Rare Treasure Not just for before the Theater

By Jeff Klima

Sitting down with Brad Holler, owner of The Black Pearl, the upscale casual eatery directly across the street from the Stranahan Theater, we get the obvious question out of the way first: “The restaurant is named after my grandma and we had black awnings.

It’s not named after a Johnny Depp movie. I didn’t even think about it (at the time), but when we opened up, people were asking if we were pirates.” Yes, the movie came first.

The Black Pearl, is an institution for many— going to a show at the Stranahan? Stop in and have an early dinner at the Black Pearl first— has only been around for seven years. But in that time, they’ve cultivated an atmosphere of accessible elegance with fair prices and quality meals.

The Black Pearl and its eclectic menu has been a concept in the works for many years. “I owned HJ’s Prime Cut for 23 years,” Holler said. “It’s a similar menu. It kind of evolved over the decades.” As Holler put it, he’s been cooking in one form or another all his life. “I basically started cooking at a young age at the Twine House, here in Ohio,” he added. “I moved to Toledo and have been cooking here ever since.”

Kitchen innovator The menu spans from soups and salads to steaks, seafood, sandwiches and meatloaf. “Most of my recipes came from myself and my cooks and my partners,” said Holler. “I used to have a partner when we

were HJ’s and we kind of developed things together.” And if you’re ordering from the Black Pearl, there’s a good chance that Holler himself Although it’s easy to focus on the directly contributed to your great meats, pay attention to the rest of experience. “We have cooks and the menu as there are a lot of excela kitchen manager too, but I still lent options. “One of the things spend 80 percent of my time cookthat’s important about us is that ing. I like the kitchen.” we’re a family atmosphere. It’s kind Holler deflects some of the credit of like coming home. A lot of the for the Black Pearl’s enduring qualmenu items are stick-to-the-ribs ity to his Executive Chef Cory kinds of things. But we also have Cook. “He’s been with me a long a diverse menu, we’ve got a lot of time,” Holler reminisces on their pastas and sandwiches, some things 13 years, side by side, cranking out that are healthy.” an assortment of entrées and appetizers over a hot stove.

Above and beyond What really sets The Black Pearl Personal favorite apart are the little considerations.

When it comes down to select“I think we’re a unique thing nowaing his favorite menu item, Holler days— we concentrate on fresh doesn’t mince words. “The prime food. We’re proud of our service. Of rib.” Slow-roasted to perfection, our cocktails, I like to say, ‘We put this premium cut of meat comes booze in them,’” Holler laughed. in two sizes: Queen Cut for $25.99 and Petite Cut for Chicken $20.99. Of course, you can’t ignore the Tortilla Soup signature dish, The Black Pearl, which 3lbs. Chicken breast, ch is that same cut of opped 15 Pepperoncini meat, blackened and 1 Red pepper, diced smothered in au jus 1 Green pepper, diced with onions, bell 1 Onion, diced peppers, garlic and ½ tsp.Chili powder peppercorns for 7 shakes Tabasco $21.99. “I know 1 tsp. Cumin that’s cliché, but ¼ tsp. Cajun Magic that’s what I eat 1 Tbsp. Fresh garlic the most,” Holler 3 cups, Rice added.

5oz. Chicken base

“A lot of time when I go out to dinner, I’m spending $9 or $10 for a drink that’s basically whatever your mix is.”

Perhaps most important these days, is that the restaurant not only takes reservations, “We hold them,” Holler assures. “A lady came in after seeing Jersey Boys at the Stranahan and she was 20-25 minutes late.

And she thought she blew her reservation and we still had it.” That level of service is rare anywhere, but The Black Pearl clearly has the Toledo-cultivated sense of going above and beyond.

By Pat Nowak

MLiving features lovely homes each month so we asked some local designers about what they see the new trends are in home design. If your house is a little tired, or if it needs a major overhaul, think about updating with these new trends.

Working with a professional With custom decorating, most designers and product manufacturers stand behind their products”.

To make a room memorable without a major spend - wallpaper is the ultimate trick. Wallpaper has undergone a reinvention featuring bold new designs and better technology. The Pantone color of the year - Greenery - has a fresh feel and works well with organic textures as well as when paired with black or white.

Kathy Prokup home designer for Ethan Allen in Perrysburg states “everything old is new again! White, off white and light grey walls are an excellent neutral You can use all the color you want in your pillows and accessories. Big fluffy down filled pillows can change the look of a room dramatically.

Color in fabrics and even some florals are making a resurgence on upholstered pieces. Always design your home with the colors and textures you are drawn to. Go with what makes you feel good”.

She cautions “ try not to overdo and put out every picture of your children and grandchildren you have ever received.

Rotate them, put some away and change them out every so often. The same goes for the Tchotchkies you have collected - sometimes less is more.

Parchment, Raffia and Rattan will be a trend in furniture as it mixes well with the Scandinavian design movement. For a more relaxed look in lighting and furniture which gives a sense of purity with clean lines, acrylic and lucite bring a sense of order and weightlessness to furniture.

An appreciation of quiet, understated, and personal luxury is gaining favor with feelings that are warm and authentic, creating spaces with personal art choices, glassworks, and unusual furniture pieces.

2017 COLOR OF THE YEAR GREENERY

20

Turn on the lighting

Sue Sweeney from Gross Electric tell us that “Gold is a big trend in lighting for 2017.

There are many variations of golden hues, so you can choose the right tone to add warmth to your decor.

Match with other metals, like silver and bronze, to create a layered look. Using mixed metals is also a current trend in lighting. We are seeing fixtures with black & chrome or black & copper finishes. Lighting manufacturers are introducing fixtures with LED, which allows for slim, sleek designs without the need for standard shaped bulbs.

Industrial style lighting is extremely versatile and can fit into a variety of decors. Many industrial lighting fixtures have retro filament bulbs, also known as Edison bulbs”.

No matter what your design personality - the secret to having a beautiful house is to put your heart and soul into enjoying the decorating process and celebrating your HOME.

Personal Inventory Next, take a personal inventory of your likes and dislikes.

Your preference, your decorator will benefit from this knowledge.

Avoid costly mistakes

Carolyn Beyersdorf from Decorating Den Interiors cautions “since decorating mistakes can be very costly, and time consuming, do your homework before undertaking any redecorating project.

Consider starting by collecting brochures and pictures of various design products and styles. Once you become aware of colors, designs, and various products to make your design dreams a reality, decision making is much easier.
