#MakeoverMonday





The quote above from Peanuts creator Charles Schulz made me laugh out loud! Today's #MakeoverMonday is about our spaces. The spaces we eat and sleep in, the spaces we binge watch and read in, the spaces we clean up in, you know - our spaces.

Generally when the word "makeover" is mentioned people see dollar signs but that doesn't have to be the case. Here are some no-money makeover ideas from - of all *people* - Martha Stewart's Real Simple!


If you can spare a few dollars here are some budget friendly makeover ideas. It's amazing what a colorful can of paint can do for a space. 


And if you are a resourceful and creative person you can look at before/after pictures of makeovers and figure out how to make it happen in your space according to your specific budget. Here are just a few in the millions of examples out there. 

How's your spaces looking these days? Mine could use a facelift - a touch up - something! So today, for #MakeoverMonday , I'm going to eye my spaces a little more closely and make some decisions about possible face lifts.

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.
