THE "LIFE-AFTER-DEATH" (L.A.D) SERIES 4:


BEING HAPPY BOTH WAYS!!!

Hello peeps,

How are you doing today?

Trust you are making the best of every insight shared on The "LIFE-AFTER-DEATH" series as I explore ideas and thoughts in the bid to justify the revive and revamp mission that this series seeks to achieve.

So far I have addressed

#RENEWABILITY; where I advocated for recycling and reuse of renewable resources like rubbers, bottles and wood 

#ECONOMICS; with clear distinction made between value and cost in order to help you make economic sense on the decision to either revamp or discard.

Now let's switch to the place of emotions in the scheme of things, as I address the pains attached to the act of letting go our cherished items on one end, and the joy that accompany ones ability to restore life to items that have exceeded their expected lifespan in our spaces.



#LETTING GO

Truth be told, it's hard to let go of stuff we hold so dearly, especially when we have memories attached to them.

In some cases, we have items that evoke memories of a particular time in our lives, say an inherited furniture pieces, collection of picture frames portraying images from our childhood, etc.

As much as it is insensitive to downplay the importance of keeping memories alive, it would also be unrealistic to neglect the need for sanity within our spaces.

As a rule of thumb (my personal opinion), any item you haven't put to use for more than a year should be on its way out of your space.

Here are some questions to help vet your decision to hold on to any item

*Is this item cherished enough to be enlisted in a paid warehouse with reoccurring cost to my name?

*Is the item valuable enough to be listed for an auction in a gallery or museum where a huge some will be paid by others to access it?

If you answer no to any of these questions, then I guarantee you would feel good letting go.



#GIVING LIFE

If you have ever experienced joy from the news of a new born baby or the recovery of the health of a loved one, then you wouldn't displace the need to at least consider giving life to used items within your space.

So what then are the likely factors holding back our decision to infuse life to those cherished items in our spaces?

*inability to assess the true state of damage of the item.

*lack of information about the possibility of a revamp

*having a challenge making an economic sense for a revamp

*and more

Now what can be done to allay these limitations and embrace the happiness that comes with giving life to things.

  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—£️/ etaΚ’Ι›r / A freestanding or hanging set of open shelves, designed to display trin...

THE "1ST IMPRESSIONS" SERIES: POINTS OF ENTRY

THE  "FIRST  IMPRESSIONS"  SERIES: POINTS OF  ENTRY Hi peeps, Trust you are doing great and I guess you are getting down on your goals for the year. As I take up the series for the month, I sympathize with victims of the California wildfires, I pray that peace abounds within your walls πŸ™ Now to the subject of the day; First Impressions I'm quite confident the concept of first Impression is not alien to my ever intelligent audience and at some points you have all impressed and have been impressed in some ways. If I may ask, at what points do impressions happen? Of course multiple answers will suffice and they can all be correct, however one answer we would all agree with is "POINTS OF ENTRY" Ask well travelled executives or diplomats and they would reveal that points of entry like airports, hotel reception etc goes a long way in helping them predict the potential outcomes of their endeavors in an environment. So how do you maximize points of entry to create a go...

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...
