Your home’s décor evolves over time. Take your time - there's no rush. Shout-out to the terrific group at the Dejunk, Destress, Declutter workshop at University of New Mexico, Los Alamos

GIVING BACK / PAYING IT FORWARD: This Bar Saves Lives

You’ve seen him on Jane the Virgin, Brothers & Sisters,  Veronica Mars & MTV's Are You the One. Meet actor / CEO Ryan Devlin talk about his company This Bar Saves Lives. For every bar sold, they give life-saving food to a child in need. You eat together.  The bars’ sales go directly to creating Plumpy Nut, a medical food which Doctors Without Borders’ doctors and nurses administer.  Their extraordinary effects were hailed by Anderson Cooper on 60 minutes. This Bar Saves Lives is about to give their 1,000,000th packet of life-saving food 3 short years. Also, hear Ryan talk about what makes his house a home.  (Alana’s note:  The bars are delicious! Try the Dark Chocolate Cherry Sea Salt, and Madagascar Vanilla Almond Honey.  Yummy.)   You’ll literally be feeding children.  ​ 

​
UPDATE: Since we interviewed Ryan, they have exceeded the 3,000,000th packet. Kudos!

BE YOUR OWN DESIGNER TIP: Color

HOW DO YOU CHOOSE?

Every color has a certain energy, a feeling and evokes specific moods. What is the #1 color choice of men and women world-wide?    Listen for what color to paint your kitchen, your bedrooms and your office. The color you choose will dramatically impact how you feel in the space.     We all love paint because it's the least expensive way to transform any room.

Our favorite Pluma Construction pals are back, with information about renovating your home. But first, the shocking good news of the week all the way from Bangkok.  

GOOD NEWS OF THE WEEK:  Compassion instead of force

When a distraught man pulled out a knife on a police officer (above) you'll be shocked at what happened next.  This story was just posted a week a go, and look how many views it has!  

While this is not the answer in every scenario, we are inspired by the officer's choice of compassion as opposed to force.

May all those that protect, defend and serve be guided to do what is in the highest good for all concerned.    

PRO CORNER: Jose Lovato & Lisa Biby 

PictureJose Lovato and Lisa Biby before we went to air
Jose Lovato, foreman for Pluma Construction Systems is joined by Lisa Biby, master scheduler at Pluma to talk about renovation. Pluma is the premier veteran-owned contractor for NM, working on the NM Museum of Art, the NM Veteran's memorial grounds, and more. They're the #1 contractor for UPS stores all throughout NM and southern CO.  The good news is that they also bring their team of experts to residential projects as well.    Hear about their in-house custom cabinet maker.  You'll also hear them sing the praises of their outstanding boss, Chris Pacheco, a man of integrity.  Listen for tips on how to make your own home improvement project go smoothly.   Call the folks at Pluma at 505.345.0755  and visit their website Plucys.com   In over your head with a DIY project? Call Jose for his handyman services at 505.453.3941   

Bonus: To hear previous podcasts of Jose Lovato & Pluma Construction Systems owner Chris Pacheco, listen to "When to Call a Pro" 21-Aug-2016 or "Ask a Pro"29-Jan-2017 show.


HOME TIP:  Renovating? Here's where to donate your construction extras.

Picture
So you're in the middle of redoing your kitchen and the old cabinets are just not "you" any more. But what do you do with them?  If you watch home improvement shows you'll see the hosts gleefully smashing the old cabinets, but stop there just a minute. Someone could really use these.  But what do you do with them? Listen for the 8 types of construction items you can donate, and where to take them.  It's the ultimate in recycling.  (segment begins at 31:24)

Go out and BE A LIGHT..... at home, at work, and in your own community.

We'd like you to get to know Alicia Montgomery and Alecia Earle - two super women!   But first, this week's Be Your Own Designer tip, and the Good News of the Week.  

Be Your Own Designer Tip of the Week: If it's out, make it lovely

Here is a tip shared at the recent De-stress De-junk De-clutter workshop Alana taught in TX.  Whatever you use every single day can be out on the counters, but how do you make it look better? Listen to this week's tip on how to display what you use every day so it is practical as well as beautiful.  You'll hear three ways to delightfully display your items used daily.

Good News of the Week: Paying it Forward, one slice of pizza at a time

Rosa's Pizza customers pay it forward by prepaying $1 so someone in need can have a pizza slice.  Every one of those post-it's is a prepaid slice.  Almost 10,000 pizza slices have been given out to date.  We love this. #BeTheChange #PayItForward #WhenYouGetGive #GoodNews

Alicia Montgomery: Barrel Racer and Beautiful Jewelry Creator 

Picture
Meet Alicia Montgomery, a professional barrel racer, and breeder of adorable dachshunds. She's done so much, that we didn't even get to talk about her award-winning horses!  Listen for how a silversmith class changed Alicia's life. Seven years ago she had an accident that left her blind in one eye. Shortly afterwards her beloved horse died, as well as her dear friend passed away all in the same time frame. To process her grief, she healed her heart by creating a necklace with everything that represented her loved ones.  Thus, Memory Necklaces were born. Pretty soon her personalized necklaces were being sold at rodeos and elsewhere to people who found comfort and healing through the beautiful pieces.  She really shows us how creativity heals. 

Today you can order these gorgeous, personalized necklaces made with love for your friends, family and yourself.  Mothers put their children's names on them. Dog lovers have their own necklace honoring their four footed friends. We're ordering the inspirational necklaces. See the latest & greatest designs on Alicia's Facebook page. You can also see her designs onEtsy shop or on her website.  How often can you buy such beautiful, personalized pieces from such a talented, multi-faceted woman?  We love her work, and we love her.  ​Buy one for your friends andtwo for yourself.

Alecia Earle: Public Defender's Office & Photographer Extraordinaire

 How does a busy mom, and investigator for the CO Public Defender's Office find her creative niche? She takes exceptional photographs, that's how. Alecia's photos are consistently named among the best of the best by JPG Magazine (that's the one with 61K followers!)  

Hear how you can take better photos of your kiddos. (Is it bribery or effective parenting?) Tips for taking better photos with your iPhone. You'll also hear about how she personalized their home with her photos and creative ideas we adore. (That hand-painted tree with bookshelves in the branches - love!) Hear about her legendary themed birthday party. Want to get together with girlfriends? Start a craft club with custom cocktails like Alecia & her friends did.   Find A.E.

Rob & Ron,  two outstanding men who are doing great things. 

GOOD NEWS OF THE WEEK: Street Symphony

Pictureclick for link
Every week we feature some good news, highlighting the best in humanity.  This week, it's the  Los Angeles Street Symphony, bringing the healing  power of live music to those who need it most. Homeless, and incarcerated folks  are transformed by the stunningly beautiful sounds of this sweet symphony.  

BE YOUR OWN DESIGNER:  You must fill your home with these three things

Alana presents budget friendly ways to make your house more of a home. They're so budget-friendly in fact, that they cost you nothing. Nada. Zip.   Rather than stressing over your next big home goods purchase, instead gather loved ones and create #memories at home. Instead of agonizing over what artwork to have installed, snip some beautiful blossoms from your garden and enjoy the bounty of #MotherNature on your entryway table. What is the best element to add to your home? #Laughter.  You'll want to hear this week's tip.

PRO CORNER: Rob Lochner of Habitat for Humanity of Santa Fe

Rob Lochner started helping people with their homes when he was just 13 years young. Fast forward today and he is now the construction manager at Santa Fe Habitat for Humanity.

​Hear him talk about how #EnergyEfficient the Habitat homes are. If you have a heart for giving back, volunteer at your own Habitat for Humanity  in the U.S. or help with their Global Village program. You can also support them by donating and shopping at their ReStore (one of our favorite places!)

GIVING BACK: Ron Hidalgo of Silver Horizons New Mexico

THINGS ARE LOOKING UP

BE YOUR OWN DESIGNER TIP:  Popcorn Ceilings

We love popcorn. (Extra butter, please.) But what do you do if you have popcorn ceilings?

Beyond scraping off the popcorn, (which is not fun!) there are some great options to cover up that lumpy, bumpy, cottage cheese looking ceiling. Metal panels are a reference to the glory days of the Victorian era. The look can be surprisingly elegant in a modern interior.   MDF  wood look planks are especially beautiful when combined with wood beams.  Bead-board for a fresh take on the cottage look.  Drywall, using ceiling grade gypsum board (which is lighter than traditional drywall.) And then there's plain old fashioned wood, like our previous guest #DIY Steve used for his own ceiling.  

​Thankfully there are many options beyond scraping off the old popcorn ceilings. Things are looking up indeed.

PRO CORNER:  Deborah Trouw

​Deborah Trouw
of Waddel & Reed, Inc. brought us information about financial planning. Some of the topics covered include assisting people managing their parents' estate, whether you need to be a homeowner to see a financial planner, and more. Be sure to listen for how Deborah likens financial planning to furniture arranging!  

To contact Deborah phone 505.984.3856.


​Giving Back:  Douglas Maahs

It is true.  Doug owns D. Maahs Construction.  Yes, he is the founder and former president of Honey Do Home Repair, Kitchens & Closets Too, a multi million dollar contracting and cabinet firm.  Doug Maahs was also President of the Santa Fe Area Homebuilders' Association. 2012 Builder of the Year and 2013 Parade of Homes award winner for Best Kitchen & Best Craftsmanship? That was him.   Eleven time category winner and 2 time Grand Award winner in the excellence in remodeling Showcase. You guessed it.  Doug Maahs.    But that's not why he was invited to be on this week's show.

To give back to the community, Doug Maahs now is also the Chairman for the Board of Advisors' for the beloved Santa Fe tradition,  St John's College Music on the Hill.  Thanks to the generous support of sponsors, this family-friendly six week free concert series kicks off Wednesday June 14th.  Bring the family and a picnic, and kick off your shoes and dance to the setting sun.   That is our kind of Santa Fe experience every vacationer will enjoy.

The average US home is just under 2500 sq'.  No matter what size your own home is, take a hint from the #TinyHouse enthusiasts, and utilize #SmallSpace solutions for your own home.  The good news is that you don't have to spend your entire paycheck at the Container Store to maximize the space you have.

PRO CORNER / PAYING IT FORWARD: Kevin Jamison of Veterans Community Project

Kevin Jamison co-founded the Veterans Community Project (VCP) in Kansas City, MO and he's on a mission to end veterans' homelessness.  "When you see vets on a mission,  look out!"   Kevin's heart is evident as he talks about the men and women who served our country and were denied VA services. Veterans Community Project accepts any and all veterans who took the oath.   Kevin said, "This is a community problem, this isn't a government problem...this is in our backyard, this is our community...Whatever they need to get off the streets, we're going to do it." 

How? Through building #TinyHouses. This 4.2 acre community will have 50 tiny houses, built for <$15K each. The VCP community support center also provides needed medical, dental, and wrap-around services to aid PTSD recovery, and to address underlying causes of homelessness. The best part of all is they never say no to a veteran in need.   For a brief video CLICK HERE.

Hundreds of cities around the country are looking to implement this scale-able model, and it's an idea whose time has come. To support this organization, donate here.  For information on bringing this solution to your own  city or town, contact Veterans Community Project  here.   #VCPHomeOfTheBrave

Today's guests talk about handmade furniture... and how one hour a week will change someone's life (and yours!)  But first, this week's tip for your own home...

BE YOUR OWN DESIGNER TIP: Less 'Stuff' is Better

Having too much stuff is a burden, not a blessing.  No, you don't have to live an austere, monk-like existence,m but admittedly most of us have too much in our homes.​You can't reach for anything new if you're arms are still hanging onto yesterday's junk. Learn the three simple steps to letting go of the clutter and keeping it that way.

1)  Junk Hunt:  out with the obvious
2)  Choose: The magic number
3)  Keeping It: easy rule, even a child can do
