There is no question, we have been through quite a rough patch here in Paradise. If you were fortunate enough to stay in your home, it is unlikley that your piece of real estate in Paradise was left unaffected by the fires.
Therefore, over the next few weeks, I am going to dedicate my blog to sharing what I believe may be some helpful hints that you can use as idea generators or resources as you attempt to bring a little life back into your property. I can't offer any quick fixes, but a few decorating tips, gardening tips and home improvement ideas may be just the inspiration we all need! Lord knows I have my moments where I could use some!
So for my first tip...use some bamboo. In my opinion bamboo has this wonderful way of making people feel like I they are on vacation, it has a very calming effect. And the bonus, it is usually much more sustainable, eco-friendly and affordable than other wood types. An idea I came across while browsing through some magazines, was to use the bamboo to cover the supporting structure of decks and stairways. Assuming the fires left your wood/concrete supports still stable, but maybe just slightly stained or discolored. You can try covering the areas of the stabilizers and of parts of the deck with bamboo. Give it a fresh look, a calming look and be good to the environment.
Wishing you all the best while getting back to "normal."
