    Yellow is SOOOOO Misunderstood

    Yellow is the color of SOOO many wonderful things like the sun, butter, twinkies, honey, flowers and gold! That's a whole lot of good stuff, but can feel like too much in a room. Yellow has a lot to offer, and sometimes it wants you to have it all SO MUCH, that it can overwhelm you. Too much of anything, even sun, butter and twinkies, is not good for you. So yellow also teaches you to THINK and to pay attention. It wants you to have the confidence to know yourself so you can have as much of this good stuff as you are comfortable with. In this way, it is a teacher or mentor. It is smart and thoughtful and a little cerebral. Maybe even a bit of a know-it-all. See what I mean by complicated and misunderstood? But just give yellow a chance, like I did. It has a lot to offer, comes in many shades and tones, so one or two MUST be right for you. Just listen, and yellow will help you choose just the right one....or two :)

    Orange is a Puppy

    I love all colors, but there is something special about orange that makes it my favorite. BUT...it is not the easiest color to work with or live with, and not everyone likes it! I am not sure why that is since it has so much to offer and is so much fun! Plus it looks great and makes other colors around it look even better. I have my own take on colors: they have a voice, they have personalities, and when you understand that, you can understand color and how to use it. Here I give you my take on orange and what makes it so unique and how to get the most enjoyment out of it. It DOES have a lot to offer someone who loves it back! https://athomewithjackie.captivate.fm/

    Talk About Color

    Playing with color is wonderful! You can have so much fun with it, discovering what looks good to you AND what color has to say! If you understand a little bit about color and what each one has to say, you can be more effective at expressing yourself and your own style. I find that each color has its own personality, its own voice! You might think that would make it harder to work with, but no. Once you understand color and what it has to say, and how that can be used to your advantage, you can easily create your own style AND enjoy doing so! Don't be afraid of color; make it work for you. It really IS on your side! You just need to understand what it's saying. You can do it! https://athomewithjackie.captivate.fm/

    Nudging Color in the Right Direction

    As an artist, I like playing with color to see what can happen. How different colors and combinations look and how they make me feel. Same thing with home decorating. You never know what you are going to come up with when you start playing with color. It can be fun! It doesn't take much to make a big difference in your home or even in a room. Adding a little more color or a different color or removing some color and replacing it with a neutral, may be all you need to give your home decor a beautiful facelift. It's about creating a cohesive look where everything works together. Balance. Harmony. And sometimes all it takes is a little nudge in the right direction to begin making some beautiful music. https://athomewithjackie.captivate.fm/

    Your Reflection

    When you decorate your home, you are reflecting who you are. You are making it a comfortable place for yourself by filling it full of things you love and that make you happy. It's fun to express yourself and let everyone know who you are and what you are about through your home decor and even how you live. So when friends come over, they say, "yes, this is John's house alright!" That's you and your home talking loud and clear! What does your home say about you? What do you want it to say? https://athomewithjackie.captivate.fm/

    House Plants in the House!

    I really enjoy keeping house plants. I do have several, so I need to make it easy on myself to take care of and maintain them. I also to make sure that so many plants will easily fit in with my decor and not overwhelm or make me look like a crazy person. Hopefully I have succeeded! Keeping it simple and neutral as possible is the key to success when decorating with house plants (like most things). Low maintenance plants, the right containers, the right placement are a great start, but don't forget to express your own self and your own creativity with house plants! That's when you really strike gold. https://athomewithjackie.captivate.fm/

    Toys In the Yard

    As kids we had playhouses or treehouses where we could create our own world; where we could let our imagination go wild. Or, like me, you had to create a playhouse or a fort from what you had. As a kid, you don't care, just so long as you are playing and have the space to play! As adults, I think we are not so different. We are still creating play spaces outside, scattering our toys around and basically enjoying our happy place! So what kind of toys and what kind of playhouse do you have? This episode dedicated to my younger brother whose birthday it is today!! https://athomewithjackie.captivate.fm/

    Pets and Kids

    Pets and kids just naturally go together, in my opinion. I think they add so much to the learning experience of life and growing up. I know that when I was a kid, we had several pets plus some strays and some lost and founds going in and out of our lives all the time! All added and enriched our lives and the family experience. Caring for a pet as a kid, any kind of pet, teaches you how to take care of something, how to keep it safe and healthy and also teaches you a thing or two about yourself. Plus you get so much back from the pet. It thrives, it grows, it looks to your for its nourishment, companionship and play (depending up on the pet!) It an be a wild ride with a house full of kids and pets, but it is just so much fun! https://athomewithjackie.captivate.fm/
