Paula writes, "I once had a friend in her 60's who moved into drab government housing. She was grateful for her own place, but planned to avoid having company. I "pretty much" promised she would want to invite everyone when we were done. For the physical spaces, I suggested some splashes of color for her living room to match her existing artwork and delegating a corner for grands and family pictures. We decided on a kitchen nook for coffee and girl talk. I bought new throw pillows and a throw rug from the dollar store to match her geometric artwork and personality: red, white, & blue! In just two days, her apartment transformed from drab to delightful. My friend has frequent visitors, and a vibrant new outlook on life. It's moments like these that truly inspire me to do Fresh Start Living."
