ART is Personal

Art work can be both expensive and inexpensive but it is personal because Art speaks to a person's individual tastes and likes.  The same artwork can be interpreted differently by people, some can be offended and others not.  I like the American and Puerto Rican flags as art.  I hand painted a dining table with American flag design and covered an art canvas with the Puerto Rican flag.  Here are the photos

Why Dems are underestimating Trump again?



I am a registered Democrat but I think I am more of an Independent.  I don't like it when either party is an extremes whether you're a Bernie Saunders democrat or a Louie Gomer Republican both extremes are bad because common sense is ignored. 

The Dems. are talking about impeachment when they know that Trump hasn't been proven to have done anything illegal only immoral.  The Democrats are using the recent tax plan as a main point of opposition towards Trump and republicans.  The Democrats have forgotten that the tax increase on middle class will be 8 years later. Meanwhile, more people will see more money in their checks and more confidence in economy.  If economy continues to grow the republicans will claim its the tax plan.  The democrats only have the argument that in 8 years that tax cut will expire. 

In the time Trump has entered office he has managed to keep his word to his base.  Trump has created a ban on Muslims, he is trying  to get the wall to be built, he is trying to eliminate Obama care among other promises.   Trump has kept his promises to tackle these issues,  he makes the argument that Congress has failed to pass.  Although, many Americans disagree with policies, I think many Americans respect the fact that Trump is keeping his word to his base.  In a world where politicians make promises and don't keep it, people respect that he is keeping his word.  The democratic party hasn't announced any new ideas or policies, nor have they recruited any new people.  The dems are floating around Joe Biden as a possible Presidential candidate, really again.  The democratic party needs to grow and have new popular policies and popular candidates, maybe the Rock could run.  Who knows?

Is it really DIY if you get help

I enjoy DIY projects because I get a lot of pride knowing I did a project myself.  There are times that that DIY project can be a lot harder than it looks.  There may be a project that may be too hard to tackle and  you need professional trades people to help.  You can order the  materials and become the product manager on job, but its no longer DIY if you get a pro to finish the job.   It is hard to acknowledge when a job is too much to handle; but its better to get help now so  that you don't pay more in the long run for a DIY disaster.

I love color in my rooms no boring beige here


I love color





This is the norm at home, I hate bland beige walls which have no personality.  I prefer a splash of color everywhere so that there is no mistake people know  that they are in your home. 
 I painted my living room a carribean blue  which is just beautiful with the West elm green and tan drapes against it. 
I love how my furniture which is blue looks against the walls for a monochromatic look.  Most of the time I add my white slipcovers to create bold contrast against the walls.  

The living room  looks great. 


Some people would not have painted all walls the same color only an accent wall but it would have been hard to combine a secondary color to this really bold color.  The contrast would not have looked right, so I preferred the entire room.   Here are photos of my living room
