THE "SCALE UP"SERIES 3

  

 QUICK FIXES/ D.I.Ys



Happy weekend peeps,

I guess you are having a fantastic time this summer, and I hope plans are in place for some upgrade in your spaces just before the vacations are over and we all get back to the super active mode.

August has been all about scaling up spaces, and It's been quite interesting sharing insights using real life scenarios from my engagements with individuals, organisations and families as I help them upgrade their spaces in the course of the summer break.

Facelift was the center of attraction in my last post, now it's time to approach this series from the "Quick fix or Do-it-yourself" point of view

If you have been following my posts on this series you would know that the term 'quick fix' is very similar to the concept of facelift, however my use of the term in this series is so much within the context of D.I.Ys.

So here are some guidelines to help you determine whether your need is a quick fix or not πŸ‘‡:


 THE COST


What would it cost to have it fixed?

Whatever will not necessarily require you coming up with a budget to have it fixed, should often time be categorised as a quick fix.

This could range from touching up a stained wall with leftover paint in the store, to calling for a quick recover of torn sofas or chairs, just as I recently helped with paint touch ups and seat recovery in a restaurant that called for a quick fix, as shown in this video.


THE TIME


If I may ask, how much time would it take to fix a light bulb that's gone bad?

I mean close to nothing, except if you are suffering from electrophobia πŸ˜†

So just like cost, the time involved in having a handle of whatever needs to be fixed will help you determine if it's a quick fix or not.

In most cases, the longer it takes to get it fixed, the higher the chances it's beyond a quick fix.


 THE SCOPE 


Another way to easily identify a Quick Fix/D.I.Y is when the question of who should have it fixed doesn't even pop up in your mind.

For instance, you wouldn't think about who will help you place that lovely ornament you just got from the accessories shop, on your console.

And the same relates with several other activities you can carry out by yourself when it comes to upgrading your space.

Now, once there is the need for clarity on who should have it fixed, then you are heading for something beyond a quick fix. And that's a good time to Consult Kenny 😊.

  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...
