THE "SCALE UP" SERIES 2


FACELIFT

 

Hi there,

How are you doing today and hope summer is coming on well?. For me, August has been quite an interesting month as it's been all about upscaling spaces.

Beyond the insights I will be sharing on this series, expect to get access to real life scenarios as I get involved in helping individuals, organisations and families plan and execute their space upgrade in the course of the summer break.

In my last post I established 3 approaches to upgrading your spaces, that is; Facelift, Quick Fixes and Renovation, but my focus today is on Facelift, as the most balanced measure on the scales of budget, time, and scope of work.

Perhaps sharing snippets from a case study project for an anonymous client will come in handy πŸ‘‡:



Just Before The Facelift

Remember facelift defined is any activity undertaken to renew, revamp, update, or improve the appearance of something.

The 'something' in this case, is this 16m² bedroom that was not just dysfunctional but also did not fit the personality of the young and vibrant occupant who couldn't wait to have her space upgraded 😊.

So I came on board to help improve both the functionality (usage) and aesthetics (beauty) of this seemingly small but workable bedroom.



Why Facelift?

It is important you know that we could have opted for Quick Fixes or Renovation as alternatives in this same scenario, so why did we opt for facelift?

- the space was not functional, so it required space planning, and that's not a quick fix.

- we had a moderate budget that exceeded what would be needed for a quick fix on one hand, and yet was no where close to what's required for renovation on the other hand.

- the time we had available as well as the scope of work were suitable for a facelift.

I hope you get the point now?


And See What We've Got!

And here we are with:

- a comfy bed with an unusual headboard and understorage

- improved efficiency in storage brought to fur by this corner wardrobe

- a dresser and a sitting area that appeared like magic πŸ˜€

- and much more

This is a very good example of a facelift and I guess you wouldn't agree less.

So if I may ask again, would you like to know the category of upgrade your space would require?

  THE "GET IT RIGHT"  (G.I.R)  SERIES 2: PRONOUNCE IT  RIGHT!!! Hi folks, Trust you are doing great and I guess September is coming on well. It's back to school and I'm pleased to have my esteemed audience in class ☺️ I introduced a new series in my last post, highlighting a course outline that will help the Consult Kenny audience and subscribers brush up their interior design prowess. G.I.R 101 was first in line and the objective of this course is to help you with the right pronunciation of interior design terms. Just as it is with every other profession, there are terminologies peculiar to interior design. While you may be familiar with some, there are others you need guidance with, especially terms that originate from other languages like French, Chinese, Latin, Italian and others. Here are a few examples of such terms, their pronunciation and meanings πŸ‘‡ #1:  FRENCH Γ‰TAGÈRE πŸ—£οΈ/ etaΚ’Ι›r / A freestanding or hanging set of open shelves, designed to display trin...

THE "ABOUT THIS TIME" SERIES 2: THE SEASONS YOU KNEW NOTHING ABOUT!!!

  THE "ABOUT THIS TIME"  SERIES 2: THE SEASONS YOU KNEW  NOTHING  ABOUT! !! Hi there, Trust you are doing great and making the best of this summer. As for me, I'm trying my best to connect with my audience beyond the scope of my job as an interior designer and project manager by referencing cycles of seasons that spans 2 decades of my life, ranging from year 2004 to 2024. Hence, The "About This Time" Series  Going by my age, the seasons of my life you knew nothing about would likely exceed 3 decades (if you are not a relative, a friend or a colleague), but then I should ask myself; at what points did I become conscious enough to identify seasons of my life and their peculiarities? Looking in hindsight, the answer would be at points where I was plagued with BOREDOM, and here is what I mean πŸ‘‡   #2004: FROM  BOREDOM TO EXPOSURE  About This Time 20 years ago πŸ’­πŸ€” Photo: Ayodeji (left) | Yours sincerely (right) πŸ™ˆ Location: College of Technology, Yaba...
