ant to refresh your living room or bedroom but not sure where to start? Sometimes, simply adding finishing touches or additional lighting can really impact the look, feel, and flow of a room. If you want to give your room a makeover without breaking the bank, read on! I’ve put together a few of my best interior design tips and hacks.

Add more light. One of the best ways

to make a room feel fresh — not to mention larger — is to increase the amount of light, both natural and artificial. If you have curtains, swap them out for sheer ones in your non-private spaces. Sheer curtains allow more natural light to shine through. Using a curtain rod that’s wider than the window by 12 inches on either side will create the illusion of a larger window when the curtains are open.

Mirrors are also a great way to bring more light to a room. Hang mirrors across from windows to help bounce light around the room. Another way to make a room look brighter is to paint the walls white, except the wall with the window(s). Paint that wall in a darker shade and your eyes will perceive that more light is coming through the window.

Hang curtains close to the ceiling. Even in rooms with

standard eight-foot ceilings (found in most homes), rooms will look larger if you install the curtain rod close to the ceiling. I recommend positioning the rod between 1-3 inches below the ceiling or molding. If your ceilings are nine feet taller or more, install the curtain rod one foot above the window trim. And while we’re on this topic, I also recommend using curtains that come to ground or just one inch above the floor.

Make an off-centered window look centered. One way

to trick the eye when you have an off-centered window is to hang a wider curtain rod, centered, above the window and part of the wall where you want someone to think a window would be. Once the curtains are hanging, open them just enough to see part of the window, and so that the window appears centered on the wall.

Add texture. If you’ve read any of my columns, you’ll know I talk a lot about texture. Many times, a room will feel unfinished because it lacks texture. Whether your decor style is eclectic, modern, boho, or a combination of everything, adding textures to your space creates depth and dimension. Textures can also be an inexpensive way to make a room more appealing and feel complete. Have fun mixing textures, such as faux fur blankets, velvet and linen pillows, and rattan or cane chairs. You can find many of these items at local thrift stores, and you’ll be surprised how quickly (and relatively inexpensively) you can add some of these elements to your space.

Use a large rug. This may seem counterintuitive, but

small rooms will feel larger if you use a rug that takes up most of the floor in that room. With one large rug, your eye sees one continuous color and the room will feel more expansive. When using a smaller rug, it visually breaks up the room, as your eye sees the floor-

ing, then rug, then flooring. In bedrooms, I recommend using a 6'x9' rug with queen beds and an 8'x10' rug (or larger) with king beds.

I’d love to see your home makeover! Tag me on social media @vacayrentaldesign!

S.B. Rescue Mission Hosts Bayou Fundraiser

O

n October 7, the S.B. Rescue Mission (SBRM) hosted its always-enjoyable annual Bayou fundraiser, which netted about $600,000 for its transformational Residential Treatment Programs and its crucially important Homeless Guest Services Program.

The Big Waves on the Bayou–themed event was held at the water’s edge at Rancho Dos Pueblos, an idyllic setting rarely open to the public. The 300plus guests socialized, perused a 161-item silent auction, and enjoyed Beach Boys tunes performed by the Idiomatiques.

Upon being seated for the late-afternoon dinner, guests were welcomed by Board President Rolf Geyling, who related how each year, the SBRM honors a significant partner in addressing homelessness, and this year, it is Barney Melekian.

Mayor Randy Rowse presented the award to Melekian, whose roles in Santa Barbara have included interim police chief and undersheriff.

Geyling praised Melekian as a thoughtful, skillful, and compassionate leader and partner.

Melekian’s career spanned more than 50 years and included Pasadena police chief. He is recognized as an expert in value-based discipline in law enforcement and has served nationally in a multitude of leadership, consultant, and lecturer roles.

In relating to guests SBRM’s mission, Geyling stated that “at our core, we are a group of people with a calling to serve people who are struggling.”

Donors, he noted, are a key part of this group, since SBRM receives no public funding. Donations enable staff to provide meaningful help, according to Geyling, to some of the most desperate people in our community.

Geyling shared how the Rescue Mission has grown, doubling its budget over the past 15 years to $4 million, with expanded facilities and clinical capacities to address the complexities of homelessness and addiction.

Geyling noted the increase in homelessness in Santa Barbara, the formidable physical infirmities and mental illness some of these individuals are stricken with, and the epidemic level addiction

has reached. He explained how SBRM’s shelter program is designed both to meet basic needs and to be a starting point for transformation.

SBRM provides food and shelter 365 nights a year through its Homeless Guest Services Program. To treat addiction, it has separate men’s and women’s 12-month Residential Treatment Programs.

Geyling unveiled a pilot transitional shelter program, designed for those who are homeless but not addicts. In this program, clients will receive focused case management for an extended period of time. He emphasized these clients’ need for stability and that these are “struggling individuals who desperately need help. And nothing is more inspiring than to see someone rediscover their God-given value and how this can spur them to incredible transformation and hope.”

A Residential Treatment Program graduate shared her poignant story of addiction and recovery, thanks to SBRM’s program. Board Chair Joyce McCullough remarked that “the healing and transformation that has taken place in her life is an outstanding example of nearly 1,000 people who have completed the Rescue Mission’s year-long treatment program.”

McCullough pointed out the cost effectiveness of SBRM’s programs. Nationally, the average monthly cost for rehab is $19,000, which translates to $228,000 for a year, while the efficient, nonprofit Rescue Mission’s cost is only $34,000 for a year. A full year, McCullough noted, is necessary to deal with complexities of substance abuse.

Last year, 58 men and 26 women entered the Residential Treatment Programs. Its Homeless Guest Services program provided shelter, on average, to 68 men and 31 women each night last fiscal year. Almost every night, it operates at full capacity and occasionally has to turn people away for lack of space.

The Women’s Auxiliary, with 40 active members, puts on this fundraiser each year and assists the Rescue Mission in multiple other ways throughout the year.

EcoLawn’s Senior Business Developer Jerry Galanti was the designer and manager of the project, selecting the plants and planning the placement. He shares: “Tina and Rudy told me that they love Hawaii.

They wanted a tropical feel, with the color pop and texture appeal of the islands. They already had ginger, plumeria, and hibiscus, so those existing plants were good creative drivers for a new complementary planting plan.”

implemented; new landscape lighting, and new stone detail were added to the yard. The existing sod lawn was replaced with a large synthetic turf to avoid weeds and dry spots, which had been problematic in the previous landscape. The new plan is designed to be more eco-friendly and less labor-intensive.

When asked about the experience, Tina Scott commented, “Jerry and his team work like a well-oiled machine. We love them and the end result.”

Carpinteria Beautiful is an all-volunteer organization with a stated mission to keep Carpinteria “clean, green, and beautiful.” The Scotts shared that their goal with the redesign was to create a good first impression BEFORE
