Keep Calm and Carry on.


The new school year is upon us...

We are not sure who suggested that resolutions be made in January. It seems to us that September is the month for new ideas, de cluttering every corner of the house, planning healthy meals and getting back to the gym.
January just seems so random in the cold and stagnant winter months. As a food lover, don't ask me to give up my hearty soups, tasty stews and freshly baked bread.
I don't want to. It's too bloody cold.
In that vein, please do not ask me to squeeze into my summer lulu's and freeze my derriere off to try and get to the gym in order to try and lose those 10 extra pounds from Christmas.

Perhaps this might be one of the reasons that January resolutions just don't work.
They are just not realistic.


Now set the stage for September:

As we see our children off to school and we re discover the word "time" again, we can start to focus on our individuality. As we plan weekly lunches for the kids, figure out car pools, get homework done and squeeze in the sports somewhere, this should be the time when we re- structure our own lives.

As another year begins for our children, so does a new opportunity to change the things that aren't working in our own lives.

At PFR Design, September is all about helping you find the Zen in your life. It can start with something as easy as cleaning out a cupboard, organizing a kids play room, redecorating a room, creating a peaceful bedroom environment, planning a healthy and invigorating meal plan or creating a work space that works for you.

We are very excited to share many creative elegant, practical, simple solutions to help your September become as efficient and as productive as possible.

Here are a couple of clean office spaces that inspired us this September.
