My mind literally has always raced when it comes to decorating, I can come into
a room and already envision what items I would put in a certain areas, what I
would use as accent pieces, what type of furniture and colors to use. My
sister, and family members have always told me they have no idea how i can look
at room and pick out items to purchase and where to place them because they
cannot see what I do until it's actually there lol.
Looking back now I've always been into decorating I remember when I was about 6yrs old I would cut paper in designs to put around my room, when my mother would ask me "what is all this paper mess?" My response would always be I'm using it to decorate. As I got older I remember always watching trading spaces, and any decorating shows during my high school years. One time I even convinced my mother to let me paint our room sky blue with clouds everywhere because I wanted to feel as though I was in heaven. Now that I think about it I was trying to create an atmosphere that would provide me with some type of visual other than plain white walls.
After my parents moved to another home in Hackensack, NJ I decided to make it a little more girly by painting my sisters & I's room in purple & pink again looking back at those memories I was always trying to decorate or redesign something although at that time I would consider myself to have been a total decorating amateur lol.
Over the years as I've grown and have had the blessing to have lived in an apartment and now a house. My eye for decorating & design has in a sense become perfected with time. I have a long way to go to be like some of my favorite Interior Designers from HGTV but now that I have decided to pursue this as more than just a hobby I have fully became aware of my "god given talent" I'm anxious to see where it takes me!
With that being said I encourage you all to explore your "god given talents" and put them to use. Especially by helping others you are not only practicing your craft but the satisfaction you get about doing something you love is definitely priceless. I feel truly blessed to have been able to help people, friends and family with my creative & visual eye for design.
What do you consider to be your "god given talents?"
