Home Improvement Ideas: Five Simple Indoor Projects
By Our Town Gwinnett Staff
There is no need to go out and buy all new furniture and décor or undertake a major renovation to give your current interior a fresh look and feel. Small tweaks can make just as big of an impact. Spruce up interior spaces with these five simple do-it-yourself projects that can be tackled over a weekend. 1) Restore and Reorganize Décor:
An easy way to give your living space a mini makeover is to reinvigorate existing décor. Start by repairing any damaged or broken decorative pieces such as frames, vases, or display items using a gel control applicator. Providing a precise, clean, and controlled application on a variety of materials including plastics, wood, rubber, metal, ceramics, and more, this gel adhesive is perfect for uneven or vertical applications and sets in just 30 seconds for a completely mess-free repair. Finish up by finding new homes for your prized décor pieces for a completely new look. 2) Update Bathroom Hardware:
Nothing dates a bathroom more than an outdated faucet. Give your vanity a facelift by swapping out old fixtures with updated designs to help revitalize the sink. But do not stop there. Replacing stained or worn-down caulk can give the entire bathroom a fresh look while preventing future moisture damage. Make sure to use a siliconized sealant when doing this.
3) Brighten Interior Walls: Whether you want your space to feel more spacious, a bit brighter, or even more soothing, a new paint color can do the trick. Everything from earthy, jewel tones to natural, more neutral aesthetics are trending this year. When selecting your color, sticking within the shade family of one of your longtime favorite colors will help guarantee the color brings you joy for years to come. Looking to ease in? Give an accent wall a shot! own business and didn’t know where to even begin. But she went on to say, “God had everything planned out already. He told me to take one step at a time. He gave me everything I needed to start and build my business down to the name, colors, and design.”
So in September 2020, Precious Hands was born. To date they staff twenty caregivers who endure vigorous training and screening before being assigned to clients. Services, such as companionship and sitting; nursing – arranging trips to the doctor, accompanying clients to doctor visits, and picking up prescriptions; and personalized care – bathing, feeding, grooming, dental care, etc., are the primary focus. They also send some of their experienced staff to assisted living and nursing homes as temporary fill-ins when needed.
The one thing Rolande would like others to understand about the home care field is that it’s a heart thing – focused on love and compassion – not about the money.
“We always treat our clients like our own parents,” she said. “Seeing the joy in the family members’ eyes because they know their loved ones are in good hands, is the best part of what we do. One of our clients recently came to me and said, ‘I’ve never found a caregiver who could make my mom smile like she does when your staff visits her,’ and that meant the world to me.”
Yohanna, Rolande’s administrative assistant, shared, “We don’t simply cater to the physical and daily life needs of our clients. We enrich their lives with activities, community events, DIY projects, BINGO nights with cash prizes, and more.”
Rolande added, “We say, ‘Every hand is sent from above,’ which is why I feel God told me to name it Precious Hands. I never thought a dream I had at eighteen would lead me to where I am today.”
