And the ottoman gets a helping hand from a tray, allowing it to double as a coffee table. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXNnwk69a0n7-2UJ7YY5-hHFUJkDYenlIgUw9OtMdK13i9KsDOvbHhfioL1u8bC9Ci2GbKUMu4exlVKAU4w2sZmkU6v0kEszjSOR3E8YBxgF5BjbkRmfLcRYnZkRlWhFzsbIp9ju8DVh8/s1600/Clever-Solution-for-Small-Spaces-2014-Ideas-2.jpg" height="550" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With its pale walls and light furnishings, this neutral oasis was the perfect candidate for a color transformation. A few bold pillows, a rug, a throw, and DIY artwork turn up the heat in this compact living space with little effort. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiGasEm1OuBy3UM4Osp_XyvPYvaEhJA4Py8prLIVR5QZyTx4kvqEkOC68HQXhs2aWE1ueLtQv-U4GjiZB6KGHNUK7NOB0lf-PlIInrVifeb9P26g-637NbP6GgaQZ1f7dptZjMYjE_-4c/s1600/Clever-Solution-for-Small-Spaces-2014-Ideas-3.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Trading dark upper cabinets for a sparkling wall of vintage look tiles turned this kitchen luminous.

Instead, look for furniture that can pull double duty. A secretary offers storage and workspace in this small living room, yet neatly tucks away when it's not in use. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiG5ufbP_3wPsguvtXkiTZXXyH9VooTYqinOaW16QvlQysSJ2__PkfapyzfEcAWYhdR8oNxIT0WVWBg7XHnX-AgeqO_SyvUPlMnxWU_Z_2XAy6bz6n4rvNVo7gT8aj3aYq1I96QdV3U-M/s1600/Clever-Solution-for-Small-Spaces-2014-Ideas-6.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hang an oversize mirror in a dining area to make the room appear larger than it is.

Warm grays, those with yellow or reddish undertones, are the neutral of the moment and are as versatile as they are trendy. If you have beige or tan walls, switching to warm gray walls is easy, yet impactful. The shades are distant cousins and finding a hue that works with your existing furnishings is a cinch. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKDtdcefdDIv7pkqNebFbUqP_I073wqfnN3wOzodhO4pVdFgXG0Rau9mFsu0iYULq08h-td9UQEq1F5V_-jWHyFoRNAPCo9z9k9pMEIfHQBujbX5lv7nlLkID5Q2k-LWXUzkjgFayna8s/s1600/2014-Decorating-Trends-Ideas-Easy-Update-2.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For so long, silver and its cohorts have been the first place metal in home decor. But more recently, yellow metals are inching back into the spotlight. Embrace the trend with gold accents that have a little softer finish, rather than metals with a full on shine. And for a less glitzy take, try antique brass finishes, which tend to be more matte. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ6W1qE90zEo8pl5cZQHipRMrgQTBU_g7JTuN0XR8f_PgQQbPR0g6_0JcupWZeEc6N47856pFc5zmxpwp9cPocaWXxJDIEuJtBt-KPHM45-SOolqWbD021VEnNZLSPCWvCyNF3Ug_EcrU/s1600/2014-Decorating-Trends-Ideas-Easy-Update-3.jpg" height="550" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Think bright, not Easter egg-esque when it comes to pastels. These fun hues lend a feminine aura to flea market finds and rustic and industrial finishes. Or, paired with traditional furniture and styling, can recall a romantic look. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWQ15bQvBGRA7gf-6_yI5ZCNhcy6kSfDjM6_JELBG3lkPN78BZcqhgGHMEjOMK_TnyQqcdXPMLBRs3EfxrrR7IZ5aOpnoaEDTerwvuPxUCo0-PcFz6z7Pi1gbgTeLbsWYDkPq3Pi0LnM4/s1600/2014-Decorating-Trends-Ideas-Easy-Update-4.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This global pattern has been on the decorating scene for a few years now, but it is still going strong.

This year's primadonna: agates and geodes. Whether used as simply display pieces, fashioned into accessories such as lamps, or splayed across art and fabrics as motifs, these geological wonders integrate nicely into almost any room. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt9ZK1VQ_NjMS7sr6xws1pPlDu9ZBb8AtWTwix5_T-DfT_lf-oWpoX51RH3eHGiIlDebi1oW11Au_isiSNy291QHuQ4AVmp15FoJkE30LNk3R0gAaIGodzsI85WFxYGtzZ-9vwVfRCdqc/s1600/2014-Decorating-Trends-Ideas-Easy-Update-6.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Also from the natural world, taxidermy is making its way out of the hunting lodge and into the mainstream. Whether it's antlers and horns or stuffed heads and papier mache models, taxidermy inspired pieces offer a quirky alternative to standard wall decor. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaoOQo1zA9q0T2VVuif5NAR5IfnvFKxqvP7utP9DUs6Xzm3uhyphenhyphenDMAK6ZDML9e4e_tknJqatqOAp0-wOdcBx7DMiZRjWJIlvpSYrkQ-gXmVigJBKU2mNsFXTFxnYaPhNDMcFeK10jxXFoo/s1600/2014-Decorating-Trends-Ideas-Easy-Update-7.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Nodding to nautical influences, wide stripes are a pattern of substance and can serve as a counterbalance to more delicate prints in rooms dressed in cottage or casual traditional style. Try the pattern on upholstery, pillows, curtains, walls, rugs, and more! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimhyphenhyphenif6c1779HNrsYdTL_1hTDkro4MwSOX5uN36jhXm7LYJeS0H0sQ5mPRXQ4hClHLv6wSXnF8VIzRtlkDhcQzwVOFkVV4we_UxbY68JpnVdsLXADOrhERPzx2SVOtX71OY2lLTdPZOr0/s1600/2014-Decorating-Trends-Ideas-Easy-Update-8.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This shaggy wool material dates back several centuries and is enjoying a renaissance in home decor at the moment. With its wooly texture and soft hand, the material works as a pillow amongst a mix of patterns and textures or as a rug to add softness underfoot. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr9kLAcIg_r_HRUVffJv8dsM1g99MQNGKig60iH3MuzQUbqFP1p5oUD0LBVtA85uJzlg-XkrxtvkLHjYxW36S2499WgJEXcVlTnZNWkOdheFctmmxD_laMFxq4_U-8uRicE4P60PCBghs/s1600/2014-Decorating-Trends-Ideas-Easy-Update-9.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These flat weave rugs hail from India and are a stylish alternative to thick pile rugs. Layer one on top of a larger rug or introduce one to a space where you currently don't have a rug, such as a dining room or entryway. Dhurries can be found in a variety of colors, patterns, and sizes, often at an affordable price. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgyRVjTz4BJbSLFoholMGmE2fYI-GlaHceeL9yH9ut0F1uSZu4VqPSS6B1C2dp0IXbl4iXsZcC69Hu_yX4Agbmqz4yN1XW3ZsLOom2onAIsvKSNymmEwZca21XvIuRAOxY_iW7EeJngQg/s1600/2014-Decorating-Trends-Ideas-Easy-Update-10.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Whether your look is cottage, vintage, modern, or somewhere in between, raw wood can have a place in your decor. Shop architectural salvage stores for pieces to add as accents or to use as shelves or mantels. And you'll find a lot of accessories and accent furniture pieces on the market that are made to look like raw wood, providing another way to capture this hot look. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhVPNA26moSI3smGUS3GhyF8dNP3gUsNbwDrMxDbYoKF43kMDT-PLJBSvt6OER3lN9uQ0L-EVOHzWCNY5nCa1mfGcwBKMZ_VrL6LhYhNRYQEW1Ih5WqtWrH4PwcueU0f3MQxIxKK7jxMg/s1600/2014-Decorating-Trends-Ideas-Easy-Update-11.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Forget everything you know about wallpaper. Yes, it can be cringe worthy, but the market continues to be flooded with more good than bad. With so many colorways, patterns, and styles available, you'll be sure to find something you love now and will love later. Rather than wallpapering a whole room, try it on just an accent wall or in a small space, such as an entryway or powder room. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwkTiDZCv1oqm0aV3LSa29Gy8w_JmadfZUGhgIU4igPDNumlEKk01qm0crua6qVxQK0pBFmYV_u6rHtxGkBvxbnK3kil2TdNB90UbqvHSWXBwOR5cBDLqubiv2v6ynKR5rdVqqLjlQvZs/s1600/2014-Decorating-Trends-Ideas-Easy-Update-12.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Speaking to both the nautical and industrial design crazes, rope can introduce an earthy texture to a polished room, or it can meld perfectly into a cottage or beach-style space. Look for rope-wrapped accessories, such as this tray, to add to your decor. Or pick up some yardage at your local home center and get creative.

Those old, awful pieces you see sitting forlorn in the corners of secondhand shops are no longer being ignored. Innovative homeowners are seeing past the tacky finishes and dated hardware and, with just white paint, retro (the bad kind of retro) pieces like this sideboard are revived for the 21st century. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSWsFwx3TVTkTdHeoAGSWkUWQPHxdiUombSE1YnNR5j3O02kXiNAMc3YfHTZ_BJ88zGZT_ogpGWESpzSruNzmtuNze9HGdUC3mKEmVWVkgH8_35vo6celnPtp9QvoZt4Ju15zmYHYehaA/s1600/2014-Decorating-Trends-Ideas-Easy-Update-15.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These once awful pieces can look gorgeous with more color.

Buying kitchen appliances can be a daunting task when you look at all of the options, from energy saving, to high end designer models, to low cost models, how do you choose? Here are tips to guide your through the buying process and to help you feel informed and confident with your kitchen appliance buying decisions.<br /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo4lRgNb0JYmTh1PKrIJXLmv1OkSNPfazbwGnZTR6LjrHMlJoSHvVxWXHMorH3_yU8G4ehnq8ML25F94iAPAonM-ah5J2HGXIHExmw065bfl2FsrcJLe-Y_d81Ep3n1vQktP-Wf3xCMo0/s400/kitchen-appliances-2011.jpg" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626408132329399586" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 454px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 454px;" /><br /><b><span style="color: #ff9900;">Refrigerators</span>: </b>With any appliance, before you get enamored with all the whistles and bells of how beautiful it looks and all of the gadgets assess your lifestyle. With refrigerators consider how many times you and your family cook and eat from home. For larger families, larger capacity units will be necessary, as well as the ability for longer preservation of food. Higher end models that offer dual refrigeration, on-door controls, and energy efficiency may be more important for your families needs. While singles or those who don’t cook a lot may prefer a snazzy stainless steel or built-in model that looks fantastic, but doesn’t need all of the accompaniments. Also consider if your home would need separate wine refrigeration storage, or possibly refrigerated drawers for easy<br /><br /><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null"><br /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3Mtn6Wova8IHyHyB8hhynDMlfPVzTCJ8CvLJfHmM6wSYLGKBEOBYRMHzye3frqTUPnrFTn43XloTNzBk2GaNz3vJ-v9WWkZqBBM6QKghMK5n_BA6VpVuQaTbVIYpBkYSdG6P0FLsIG-U/s1600/kitchen_refrigerator_2011.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3Mtn6Wova8IHyHyB8hhynDMlfPVzTCJ8CvLJfHmM6wSYLGKBEOBYRMHzye3frqTUPnrFTn43XloTNzBk2GaNz3vJ-v9WWkZqBBM6QKghMK5n_BA6VpVuQaTbVIYpBkYSdG6P0FLsIG-U/s400/kitchen_refrigerator_2011.jpg" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626407829176362898" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 416px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 451px;" /></a><br /><br /><ul><br /><li><b><span style="color: #ff9900;">Ovens/Stoves</span>: </b>When considering an oven and stove, think about how you typically cook and if you’re a novice or an experienced cook. The oven or stove you choose can have a great impact on how you cook and whether the energy you use to heat them is worthwhile. Convection over conventional ovens tends to use more energy but for expert cooks they enjoy the even distribution over heat and can usually cook their food faster and with more control. For those interested in buying a stove or cooktop, there are several options: induction, gas or electric all have their pros and cons. Most beginning cooks appreciate electric for its slow heat up, while experienced cooks prefer induction and ultimately gas stoves for its fast heat up and ability to cook under precise conditions.</li></ul><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif1WO_vNbmrZAuYDVn7b6oEAdRTFybM6uw9UH_ZAAS4zhO4WhtJUOv1WpDNrAw1ijrgpCqwSeGj1eoZoLzQr23e8XzXdj51YBRqHRUrUcXyeD6wqgCUnaZHbI4SQVXLdeorAIqtntJ6wc/s400/kitchen_stove_2011.jpg" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626407544477223538" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 340px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 442px;" /><br /><br /><ul><br /><li><b><span style="color: #ff9900;">Ventilation system</span>:</b> One area of your kitchen that is forgotten when considering appliances is the ventilation system. Range hoods overhead, or down draft systems that are integral into the countertop or cooktop are great for unobstructed overhead views. Depending on the size of your stove/cooktop and if you have an integral grill, griddle, burners, and other heating elements may increase the need for higher ventilation systems overhead. Research your favored appliance manufacturer too see what type of ventilation system is recommended for your kitchen.</li></ul><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlV1tpNHiJWm3sr42Q3Up1lSzq97s6XT1xEuwkYbjktLbyhriFmkcj0ijduh03l6oEfx8pQO-iSognI8eUw1yEXG5aXA49ZyyLjfHUGGUCLWvTlulHhyphenhyphenzzVrqqWEqQg3PEODDBWJpf6eA/s400/kitchen_ventilation-2011.jpg" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626407240664828242" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 379px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 434px;" /><br /><br /><ul><br /><li><b><span style="color: #ff9900;">Dishwasher</span>: </b>Similarly to your refrigerator, your family’s lifestyle will largely dictate what type of dishwasher will be ideal for your home. Lower end models tend to have simplified controls, while more elaborate ones will have energy efficiency qualities, hidden controls, and noise reduction qualities – especially helpful in small homes or open floor plans. Dishwasher drawers are also available for smaller amounts of dishware and can save water usage when you don’t have large loads to clean.</li></ul><br /><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKXDtPKJ90WhCGoW2ZgNsWr3GjgauVC4ZzuIlhBLZgvWelWB2RylUMNUl1IYNrnY5RUrouX4w2iz088xCMjSZBYsJfjE9Bq6LeskbaTL1r6zQU6OwHsQiaIa3tzDGU89HTf9POxBjuDJs/s400/kitchen_dishwasher-2011.jpg" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5626406762995974754" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 483px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 421px;" /><br /><br />Choosing kitchen appliances for your home should be a rewarding experience but also fulfill your lifestyle and aesthetics of your kitchen.

Find simple tips for designing a home that's functional and beautiful.</div><ul class="article-info clrfix"><li class="byline"><cite>By Candice Olson</cite> </li></ul><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6S8jsPhBEtviXl36CB_8uj6gekDmYrmJZRNh3cSAlrT5zctmz4vw6Yu8ML10n_OCCyFJUxx5JyBjC-yVB-Ybnc7rt8yyR8S5pOoKB26R_AxWE_f1wgH2cP0erTv5R2O9zzWYivfyp/s640/living-room-contemporary-fireplace_design-ideas-2012.jpg" height="600" width="480" /></div><br />It's important to make your home both stylish and livable. There is one word that designers either love or hate: function. Personally, I love it. I really believe you can have the right balance of both style and function. <br />The one thing you need to do when embarking on a design project is to be realistic. Think about this question: How does your house have to work for you and your family? If you're like me with a young, busy family full of kids and pets, you should never have anything white in your house unless you're sure the material is stain resistant.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlAFTJXNSp-vlaA7FmwNU8On1N5n5R2zfq1hd2HsdUyrWfOUgEqtOjD_N06k1qAn1wJRta4lRRm93kCrGbrolE2qADv2Sc0NMCG0LSv3mqzoXxFpOJL0_lmqTpugdsAMBE9WfGYktg/s640/p_100675738.jpg" height="600" width="480" /></div><br />However, you can find the right mix of function and style. Just make sure you think your design decisions through carefully. If you're a large family that spends all your time doing homework in the kitchen and family room, then a large kitchen island or an open-concept kitchen and family room will probably work really well for you. If you're a retired couple who loves to cook and entertain, your priority might be gorgeous kitchen appliances, so you splurge on a chef's dreamy (and stylish) gas range.<br />It's important to know what makes the most sense for your lifestyle and home, so don't choose colors, fabrics or even materials that won't work for your family, children or pets. Be realistic about what you can and can't live with because there are some things you might love the look of, that are very stylish, but just aren't practical with a Great Dane. For example, I absolutely love the look of white Carrara marble countertops, but they can be stressful in a kitchen because they stain so easily, especially by red wine or coffee. You don't want to always be on high alert for spills, or be the crazy lady saying, "Don't touch the counters!"<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOLPTqJwlTwGTpFQ8O-cPMazMfBwiNYIZYkJdGbdDLTPHzewub_8J4MDGdv1MM-Lf_Bb6EnUAzClE7OFfctc1nf15WNdKRG5CNd7Yx0SAWOrF-PFizSnMUE2W4QUxtjxVVQUaHnaGT/s640/green-living-room-ideas-2011-11.gif" height="600" width="480" /></div><br />That's not to say if you have a busy lifestyle with kids and pets, you can't have a gorgeous, stylish home. Companies have caught on and now function can be stylish, too. For instance, there are great-looking, durable fabrics that are made to handle extreme wear and tear. Some are even made with Teflon. Sometimes you might pay a little more for a high-performance material that looks great and can stand the test of time. Be smart about it, and if you get a light color sofa (or you had one before the kids came along), consider having a slipcover made that's in a dark, machine-washable fabric.<br />If you have a hectic home life with lots of activity, think about your choices and always go with the most durable materials you can find.

Pull out the lower table when you need an extra surface for holding drinks or reading material, then tuck it away when you're done.

In this dining room, a bench accommodates multiple people and takes up less space than a group of individual chairs. The pieces around the table can easily segue into the living room for hosting a crowd. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDmWRIqu4J1s64g8SFkrjEHfE2KQxZtR-LgXFp-_wsVVnUjSpXWgabN-lnqUv_x4n82cWRfVPTKlYNJ-HbztzItJKqwm26LuozQo1i4BZ-HDJat4IM13TFt_jNmNiYIk086i5h2NmLUqo/s1600/Elegant-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-with-Budget-3.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In an open living room, create subtle division with a shelving unit.

A beamed ceiling takes this room to new heights, while board and batten paneling adds substance to the room's sherbet color palette. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4RWoRfRj6GRYvvWuu_LUz1e4RWoN_hKahdmSlnV1Z_ABDJIP-yD7vsQs4ClCdCgyA5KQFyl-fziIAXJ2TfNpsiWUZ-lt1_ObEo6G_eS2Q4lIloZtV5LHmEYS9z3SJPNkPEOc99UZ0IXE/s1600/Elegant-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-with-Budget-7.jpg" height="550" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Turn a closet or nook into a work zone. In this space, drapery panels slide along a curtain rod to make it easy to conceal the clutter. Even without an architectural niche or bay, you can duplicate this effect by curtaining off an area across the width of a room just hang the drapes from a rod or thin wire suspended from the ceiling. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWpUQEeeEuNzlnLRIiOJXKTU1dacUzURvaOys-6RrvTInAYo7wfE42IDq4i-bj4hz6VJLgmY4KmDvPkzPHsMvC1A48CNFUWno3QpBehxTeqiwG6TnkZ0aCy5iMLtJHZGYdOi77GHRS0OU/s1600/Elegant-Decorating-Ideas-for-Small-Spaces-with-Budget-8.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Opting for a narrow, shallow refrigerator netted more counter and shelf space in this compact kitchen.

Prime the frame, then paint on a coat of chalkboard paint (Krylon and Rust-Oleum both have great color options). Let dry.

Score one for a few dollars, then transform it into a sophisticated message center. Remove the mirror from its frame, or use painter's tape to cover the frame. Spray several coats of magnetic spray paint on the mirror. Let dry between each coat. Then apply a layer of chalkboard paint and let dry.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMRet7BKM4UTKcMvoYJTGeEw42N2IO9e0N7_FdQUZx8RZcQ8zAVXfCY1KKNQiEVymr-lBqqOgVVHojIOl3TXr8mdhJ_tDLXWPPYLywNCRcKC8d8LRduyCUbKWdtmSxoY_ZoMHooBgy/s640/Chalkboard-Projects-ideas-3.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">On Tray</span></b></span></div><br />Up the elegance factor at your dinner party or wedding table by converting a vintage platter into a beautiful menu display. Trace the oval base of your platter onto a thick piece of paper. Cut out the oval and center it on top of the platter, then trace an oval guide for the paint. (If the platter has a central oval edge, you have a built-in guideline.) Use a steady hand and a small brush to stroke chalkboard paint inside the edges of the guideline. Roll the center with chalkboard paint using a small smooth-surface foam roller.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjbAmenD7eFV52VQzkL7b7i689uZzneFaRFH5tCsmBGTOeQWpqrXzvdV9YFiWQ6TbHVurWq7P2ty0XkhUzrPRRRgvOJHG2adYB_1BsTRuhh926FN38a_eioZupZ9wkz_3GUa4GP4S4/s640/Chalkboard-Projects-ideas-4.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Vanity Lesson</span></b></span></div><br />Turn an old medicine cabinet into a sweet spot for lists and notes. First, remove the mirror or inner panel. (If you can't remove the mirror or panel, cute a piece of chipboard to fit.) Paint the mirror or your chipboard piece with two coats of chalkboard paint, allowing each coat to dry between applications. Tip: If you use a mirror, prime the surface first. Pop the mirror back in, or use Krazy Glue to secure the chipboard cutout in place. Use chalk to spell out the day's duties.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivYLvJAoLP9bV8JG8wqvAwfLIP7oQRexv48eI9TratkGCWCt6EnwaWbWLKUv97uqY6sqEHewZD4WjK0SCzUWwZ-O0IMhpsllziNTIxrkqO8drg0ijIc_AMH9Zl0eyXORNXYtxNNenm/s640/Chalkboard-Projects-ideas-5.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Scheduling Pains</span></b></span></div><br />Transform a six-panel window into a home office calendar to ease your planning pains. Each day of the workweek is assigned a frame, and the sixth makes room for extra notes or magnets. Tape off the wooden frame with painter's tape. To make your calendar magnetic, spray several coats of magnetic spray paint on the front of the glass, allowing each coat to dry between applications. Then paint each pane with chalkboard paint using a paintbrush to edge and a small foam roller for smooth surfaces.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH_QrbwSQWQBfxqz9c7-4EkjZ9GGDqdtbXwwCEw3xBJZxyORbt4YMzk68Mg00LQ2FQ7cy-Pu9TJBCogcA7I2UMa8PzgXnYeqf179yY8hZ9IMevM1Sec10xBmoPIQOSthuaOE-vCw2W/s640/Chalkboard-Projects-ideas-6.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Clever Containers</span></b></span></div><br />Add a little erasable oomph to your kitchen canisters with repositionable vinyl stickers that accept chalk marks (check <i>dickblick.com</i> and <i>wallies.com</i> for colorful options). Use a punch to cut out the labels. Remove the paper backing and position the label on the glass or wooden canister.

But if you're longing for a hue that's not available on store shelves, concoct your own. To create your own custom color of chalk-ready paint, simply combine 1 cup latex paint in your desired shade with 2 tablespoons of unsanded tile grout. Use a paint stirrer to mix. During application, gently sand the dry layers of paint between coats with 150-grit sandpaper. Apply several coats for best color.iwanosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05230861172919271737noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5463577626120253897.post-84375568375000936972014-07-08T06:21:00.000-07:002014-12-08T22:12:17.308-08:00New Ideas for Decorating in OrangeHave warmed to the thought of using orange in your home.i hope you like this slide show that features a variety of looks in this citrus hue ...

The drum shade of the pendant light fixture incorporates all the colors of the palette.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghNGjjhZ7qSYNSVJL5MAAbjM_yqsRFb4Z1DGZW3DI5sGieEaAKvUADSPSbmylfatLvqz5LxuSVm6m_CTqQ9b87g0qNe374eJWcbNWHTohB-vBfx9E52UFQ3oODawE60QF2ROXX-JRD/s640/Decorating-in-Orange-ideas-8.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Fabric Focus</span> </b></span></div><br />Vivid persimmon fabrics capture the eye in this appealing dining room. An analogous color palette of warm hues supports the bold orange color. Solid yellow fabric covers the curved banquette and pillows in a yellow-on-white pattern with contrasting piping giving definition to the yellow shapes. A russet rug, banded in yellow repeats the color scheme underfoot. Overhead, the chandelier is an energetic design of leafy tendrils in a single matte orange.

Solid orange linen throw pillows and a fuzzy throw give the upholstered furnishings a bit of visual punch.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju2HzqNam__ypUYx83GT_KIQjYqzAnut9KCPx8-OEUGA0DEx7Yt6NVxv9xxTXvgJ4Nx6qcjvE8yJvzevmFRFVBmdVnk4wE170RCli3cT3_300t2kzM_Dk6pC60dXIXi36N19CoJB4s/s640/Decorating-in-Orange-ideas.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Small Space, Bold Color Scheme</span> </b></span></div><br />Bold accents make a big impact in this tiny space. Two unfinished wood hutches, painted soda pop orange, add display and storage space. The hutches complement the room's blue accent wall. Orange stripes in the window treatments and rug bring all the elements together and add a touch of drama to the space.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2HWUzTbkXy2t1uTnNujuHHyONMpMAfnP-j0XAjMsUGLmMB3zsugh72RkPGO5hfr3Le4sU7gaSJ2pAfLD1OpcOa4xWBMEwD4oRKjW2yn66WZesMXz-dmNyVX6wvV5Y3AVeHbDjmbsF/s640/Decorating-in-Orange-ideas-2.jpg" height="532" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">The Warmth of Orange</span></b></span></div><br />Goldenrod yellow walls and burnt orange accents work together to give this family room a warm and inviting motif. The solid burnt orange window treatments and throw pillows create a common thread among the patterned chairs, window seat, and ottoman. The bright hue adds both drama and consistency to the room.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzgTggl0-xaJxyYjDQSqEXLOetkKzGX47mT_wPtApugU8tKhmArNTYx-GvJqkOtIQcLgQoTbJXvHUK0rKJIxbgm5ee7w3ppVt7vIwLO9ERZapSVxeFV8z-ZXfio6w7BKEqR77UgEMi/s640/Decorating-in-Orange-ideas-4.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></div><br /><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Bold Fireplace</span></b></span></div><br />This fiery orange is the perfect complement to the fireplace.

All it takes is some smart measuring and a well thought out plan. I'm Lacey Howard, editor of Decorating Magazine , and today I'm going to show you how to make your window treatments sparkle. The first step of dressing your windows is choosing a style of blinds or shades.<br />Natural shades like these offer a wonderful texture, and a beautiful look when the light comes through. If privacy is a must, line your natural shades.<br />No matter the style of blind or shade you choose, the next step is measuring for either inside or outside mount. A good rule of thumb is to use outside mount to make small windows appear larger, or to cover unattractive woodwork.<br />For outside mount, measure the window's width from just outside the casings. Because outside mount shades hang above the molding, you can determine at what height on the wall to mount the shades. If you're lucky enough to have gorgeous moldings like these, you'll want to let their historic character shine, so go for inside mount. Measure the width of the window from the inside edges of the trim . You'll butt the top of the shade to the top of the window frame so that the shade fits just inside the window's moldings. Be certain to measure each window individually. You'll be surprised how much they differ. Next, frame your views with draperies. Here, we chose dramatic panels to frame each bank of glass .<br />When hanging drapery panels, there is no hard and fast rule about high on the wall to hang them. For most spaces, drapery panels should skim the floor. Save puddling for formal rooms and sumptuous lightweight fabrics such as silk. No matter the formality of your room, hang drapery hardware at any level between the top of the window molding and the ceiling.<br />The higher on the wall you hang the panels, the more visual impact they'll have, and the taller your ceiling will seem. Rod pocket fashion such as these have a shorter finished length than tab top or fabrics that require drapery clips like these. Both tabs and clips add length to the hanging panels.<br />Like any type of home accessory , hardware can range from off the rack at a big buck store to custom made. One designer tip, be certain your hardware has telescoping rods. With this feature, hardware can easily change rooms or configurations when needed. Another hint is when you're faced with corner windows in a room like this one. Avoid a traffic jam of finials and brackets in the corners. Use an elbow connector piece to join the links of drapery rod and ensure a smooth transition. With smart measuring and thoughtful placement, your drapes and shades become the crown jewel of every room of your home.<br /><br />By : Lacey Howard. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOluuqyK-Dm_sIk6eTu3LntEFMY40XMMoSEiP55392NMKb0cYTDy_-nr4YyUKLOkx772AgYGCa5lxkP3oZo_kPZQUaCE2V_3A3jQbD8HX4VxPJZ7nNPXYjDqDe3wfbIAcABOoxOlXFzRg/s1600/measuring-for-window-treatments-6.jpg" height="444" width="480" /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl68vy9UH64R2Jj3kujXVwsQcQ5mTiFKbNjcvOAkBFtyygOJEhucIKWTRylx_O9oWlBf01_vfwxhqs_gAc6B_SAyVueXk4UCOlNyrzPD5VTsmw4khJE_yTC-TFA6oZF56s89zHbxz3LV0/s1600/measuring-for-window-treatments.jpg" height="444" width="480" /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz8pScuWpa0pRcq374rn0YdioeyaHiPd47rkYoie2NsVRZEsnR-hATuYDyoXKH-blCNok7vhyphenhyphen_8rj7R3YnQcsNbhxzKpgYdIrfL6RWpUJT6kKPRt6WcnNVtU3jRNsexRsENaAOo4JgJBY/s1600/measuring-for-window-treatments-2.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRNQe8Eg3A2pvHS_RVwatGYWD_qmFYta5YnSVmJFxH4llmKJT4o31oVoJOVhsZYjz-iPtfxmhehOxT9TAVAZzz2gFryjpCPxTS-_PnPY5QVpnTUD5h2WDb8qn-HBG8LcCbtHkqNY7owGM/s1600/measuring-for-window-treatments-3.jpg" height="444" width="480" /></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9QYuJnrp2laX4_U74Uo2JbBVn3_nHYA7hyPuGLvHCmGwKnYKpdiFL4UGEaBHSmk-wZPUNV0nKHsQPHH7gqMXvZdafwRcm5zWwBY0PK_gqXBxEXKoVhMKB-a6w-V_kY850tXb1OJ6YdJ8/s1600/measuring-for-window-treatments-5.jpg" height="444" width="480" /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbNNnNGsuoPd2KAa7vTBiNEeCLc3lRJoFAnWCODAgt9MT-3Xn6qClLhjGwYdAkLLsZqVPTgNGcU-VYWQjZ1TgwnTvx-phFCE-fyylEPqSb6VGNc_DKtmjwERSe-CXu2U_Daic6f0TE4-k/s1600/measuring-for-window-treatments-6.jpg" height="444" width="480" /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHz-15ku-wfuKVTcW2yurnjcDdq57HZK10_ClfFMcAB_kbqfVPYeTa4aEA6d346CFsz8oWcjr12ORb069QfMPzKcY3kmvcyx4YnfOPep_JM_qp6yIYlBg4X6rOXgrcq1hejfyZmFU1AUk/s1600/measuring-for-window-treatments-7.jpg" height="550" width="480" /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJqb11L6kzmgkj9l_GB1pAiAWWfqV9mUYEIXjWVSJDC1AAbbUh4_qvRGlalrzgZy7_YxytuiKs_vnMv6nZ2wSYJp4a8dVUcMqcLJN3yQ4b1SSVGiQQ2lGMtcnOgtj8baWJpLdEeLNuNtc/s1600/measuring-for-window-treatments-8.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkKqvM6OASIlMfahtD8y-9xONHF813GcJBSRyki4WmfP9du_OBwFD2PAvxAPRKM9u3DmsagQT4FoKsXyjx2NYs9BSpJFQ2om5XXL5hriRE9ESiOQDWwCkMCrgOLqv5G8xvbBTCkafwkSQ/s1600/measuring-for-window-treatments-9.jpg" height="592" width="480" /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyuGNuUcfVIHQCx9Leu1929WDWRCwA-L2D46gV4U4Swon7ShDvIhZMfn_uPRF9jh9FqXwP2n3bka63D1GUvWTEmkAcmxxoFrT7oxEb_Sfd-Ukot0NoVgK05jrVdRylRNljsWDHJCaDjAA/s1600/measuring-for-window-treatments-10.jpg" height="550" width="480" /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj52UHNzXbAC8UXe-HfOKipUGMHMzCnfaqagKWlbHavwPnPfYK7g_hgA_hAwaaiUu3vS3WDm22gfXg61nf_lZ_hHSMPsmco5ej6B2I1EhyphenhyphenDJB6rOybhlbQqkPajdjLMJMhBQ-hnOR1_gMc/s1600/measuring-for-window-treatments-11.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></div><br /><br /></div>iwanosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05230861172919271737noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5463577626120253897.post-91289501661890544832014-07-06T01:25:00.000-07:002014-12-08T22:12:17.417-08:00What You Need to Know When Using Color In Your Home<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">These are the three things you have got to know about color . First step, take your temperature. Colors are either warm or cool, depending on their undertones. So first step, figure out where you land. Do gravity towards warm and cozy or cool and modern ?<br />If you love color , you have to let it breath. The best way to embrace color in your space is to embrace negative space as well. The room doesn't have to be filled with all kinds of saturated color .<br />The eye needs a place to rest. There has to be a balance and a push and pull. Make all your important color decisions in your space.<br />That's where you're living with the color . It's going to look completely different at home than it looks in the showroom. So get it home, live with it a little bit and see if it feels right. <br /><br />You'll love these ideas to try in 2014! I hope you find these ideas useful and inspiring to you .... Enjoy it !!!!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_r1OuR-DINLSKHIZSq3IlB36kvZjdVjcTCgMUz7PLoqsfzFVRcnX4sjQyKfeC26mMrEOeGtXJs40XlQOtXxz-z_8mej4BrDvzmoHNxbwv1KIQ1TBwzVqf37TL1vl2CBWUGZsGgqh3658/s1600/What+you+need+to+know+when+using+color+in+your+home-2.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Branches can make for excellent, sculptural drapery rods with a few simple do-it-yourself updates. Search for a branch with the proper length and width to fit above a window and handle the weight of the chosen drapery panel. Next, cut it to size and spray-paint it in a color which contrasts well against the wall. Lastly, secure standoffs, ready-made drapery rod brackets or L brackets directly to the wall using plastic drywall anchors, then attach the branch with screws or bailing wire.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwPFtq38vvzYTwkU1pi9qKnz_rAixAZMWOzL-tN8-1y9fORKhsHaRCb-gPO20mlUVm6eCRDYwWyCUpr56ebyEunwFTyOh_libN4uVwx-A5okO40ocpxN5Hs4r80iv1i8zHGq25_aCqP_k/s640/Creative-Ways-to-Make-Curtain-Hardware-3.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>A Touch of Menswear </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">When draperies need to be pulled back from or tied back in the middle of a window, neckties are a stylish solution.

To add a nautical touch to windows, consider adding small two-by-two-inch wooden blocks above a window. Then, after cutting a spool of rope to size, knotting each end and sliding drapery rings or panels directly onto it, attach rope securely to blocks with decorative screws and washers. Depending on how tight the rope is pulled before being secured to each block, a more tailored or relaxed look can be achieved.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp0Kc_yxOW-Kl5nGqBU-N0ZF3xzX_qs4xiEWI4z-V4ltQWj5xCCLp921UaGGLXyzY59VJcWrJDsS_3tA87brJR0tvjhUmF5pM7lRD_fFkSPJn0KdEbpKDm7ensuMy3H-bVMo9pJellZZw/s640/Creative-Ways-to-Make-Curtain-Hardware-5.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Fashion Forward </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Add a fashionable touch to your curtains by repurposing an old leather belt into a stylish and preppy tieback.

(One may shrink, causing the other to pucker and hang poorly.)</div><div style="text-align: center;">If sunlight has weakened the fabric.</div><div style="text-align: center;">If the draperies are constructed with pleats, which may not hold their shape during machine washing.</div><div style="text-align: center;">If the draperies are too large for your washing machine.</div><div style="text-align: center;">If the trims and embellishments aren't washable or colorfast.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZIU02wvkRRrw_8Tw1453Qo-WyTdDdP2KIzC44uvfalLikQFDhDE0jOP8h7owYxD5pkqrW3Rk2w08EjOWsXYWdWZEDPdsqohUiSsO7L-0vc4551UbU2Uw_zjsGDRR_FbYxtPHk2EaS5xM/s640/Best-Tips-Drapery-Curtain-Care-6.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Washing Curtains </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Check the label before laundering ready made curtains. If your curtains are washable, remove hooks, rings, and hardware. Check that the trims are tightly attached. Unless the directions instruct otherwise, machine-wash on a short gentle cycle, using cool water and mild detergent. Tumble dry on low and remove immediately, or line dry.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjloiKq7nT__VtKCpkvbeKWimyAlcfVh7Y0z-IJ9QfL1pnp5LBlRSaN4Ajqy5-kIn27aXkuUhFbFrc8s9m3VA-KYdIafmk8EaojAlknjRW4FOgO-2sXfwPtPgpD_b4c7h2NMquugPjZJPM/s640/Best-Tips-Drapery-Curtain-Care-7.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Ironing Curtains </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">If necessary, iron on the reverse side.

Many new lace curtains are hand- or machine-washable. Follow the label directions or gently wash in cool water. Use detergent made for fine washables. For extra body, dip freshly washed lace curtains in a light starch solution. For a soft look, re-hang the curtains without starching while they are slightly damp. If you use metals hooks, temporarily place a piece of tissue paper under each hook where it comes in contact with the damp lace. This will prevent the hook from rusting onto the fabric.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihIBuObaUJTqpAo0bxeQgMecOrqP1P1KMyPXBFF4Nt-NZex5i4WCFBFg4SDSU4-JU-TZ2xYYXD5w7eecqzFDT0wV0AkIQf3ijTuGhoA3N255N5uNAbrlKOCx0a2_53vRf0y3LLSCc2zdo/s640/Best-Tips-Drapery-Curtain-Care-9.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;"><b>Caring for Sheers </b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Most sheers are washable synthetics; unless the label states otherwise, wash in the same manner as lace curtains.

But one step inside reveals a carefully accumulated collection of furniture and accessories purchased from yard sales, closeout sales, and antiques shops that have all been updated and brought to life with paint, upholstery, and other decorative touches. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSAom8O1dMEQvpL78EDNGkMGOemr0AwMlGFYWHgiVEZDVsjaLF4wMAI6rfOwfcnuZ6n7mrv6cbUg6JIQ2UuodzxQLJk15nS4ZWQ2p-msyGN5eugSXt93Cs5OQmE-XcIOMr79uLryLbIbM/s640/Stylish-Budget-Decorating-House-Tour-from-BHG-2.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Inspired by the bold pattern blue and white area rug, a navy blue accent wall adds dramatic appeal to the home?s living space. Hits of high contrast white, including the coffee table and fireplace surround, brighten the room. Simple white curtain panels make a window that lacks molding look finished. The homeowner hung the window draperies high and wide to make the window seem larger. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHK5ZpWx2ogCF-G7xQ3DVJHR6BwPRljbBmUjphBTok8nQesRFL7vFGBB_dBmXi5eAHl2jCcjhdHajvtpPjE-8835AFpYa-EVlTM5vEtfLcER4E6qjTjvLe4NvOxoYbrOtFzD7yLbPtbjo/s640/Stylish-Budget-Decorating-House-Tour-from-BHG-3.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Look online to score deals. This pair of bookcases, an online score, was given new life with a coat of soft blue paint. Paired together, the units create a focal point along one wall of the living room and offer plenty of storage and display space. The backs of the bookcases were painted navy to help tie the units in with the area rug and accent wall. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHorqnfR6Ll5XSN1PZbptQKPUpH6J03C7sTUbm2Jvv2_GzyKtI6ZU4pBWG2-J529hS-BlEFGLOEmHyIedOEpfQJA3JqEEQpbDmyozT_eaFqxnUWfFfC9x2aMscdbKafIeazRXaAMyDxrA/s640/Stylish-Budget-Decorating-House-Tour-from-BHG-4.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Give a mismatched group of furniture a cohesive look with paint. Here, a thrift store cabinet, painted white to match other living room furniture, serves as a media console. The doors of the cabinet feature a motif similar to that of the area rug, which helps tie the piece in with the rest of the living room. Different size black and white images hung above the TV add height and make use of old frames the homeowner had on hand. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQHbN8nwOMH9Swfzo_wpvRNL5DDbQj54H4P7DV9mOHL2qvVQZyOkmLYTT3xR0RxLZDU75chsCoGhcqK9WPA2bhpyktAozrxXDPXsvrU_LwIbQ-X13DV30VSOwL0uJZD3nTWbCG8wM-efw/s640/Stylish-Budget-Decorating-House-Tour-from-BHG-5.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A variety of gold accessories scattered throughout the home?s living space lends glamorous appeal. Here, a dramatic gold mirror frame makes use of empty wall space. Use gold paint or gold leaf to give ordinary objects sparkle. A small half moon shape console table below the piece provides a bit of additional display space and visually grounds the mirror. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQIXF_mw9Vo5u3W3FWGTgVSzAcuKLp4a-7FtQszfApAHH3duLktcBGSOZgVEz0_W08SPWVeFiDmD7B4wVB5AqldprLKgX2aldSEEUe2ZiR9Nq2Yiys8EC06mmQn_b1F7KKz3XUJBrWeNI/s640/Stylish-Budget-Decorating-House-Tour-from-BHG-6.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Mix and match furniture by relocating pieces from different spaces. In the casual breakfast nook, a hand-me-down table is paired with chairs that originally came with the dining room table. An outdated yard sale chest was painted black to match the chairs. Designer fabric snagged from a remnant bin was used to create the zippy curtains that add character to the neutral space. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2QqObEVWpObLafKCuusNqspY7xshwXXB89Jj3i05Kb37knzO5zhzanz4vSIxkDuuBWSHKRg0BoDrtQYCKpBJcb3_wqfumPYJylkQ9E1lbV-JP9yQPQ8xOr6CHKwATZbwgpu6AlwqssFI/s640/Stylish-Budget-Decorating-House-Tour-from-BHG-7.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">With the dining room chairs relocated to the breakfast nook, a bench was introduced for seating in the formal dining room. Thrift-store chairs painted white and reupohlstered with fabric to match the drapes serve as additional seating. The final look is an eclectic, unpexpected alternative to the basic matching dining room set. A former TV console now serves as a handy buffet, topped with lamps that were updated with spray paint and new shades. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis1JiHRFhZGA_Fa251gAThTCYC6bOFvUsdNYeszf8ppu6miNXu7fVbPp9xjXspMfOcBadK4fCVqPS1Rixb3PEK9uqghB_t-OAwKSj1gaGqveDF6HzlWR5oH2vwVp4EVMq37ihtcptPqZw/s640/Stylish-Budget-Decorating-House-Tour-from-BHG-8.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">No guilt, no fuss is the feeling in the master bedroom, where simple white bedding and cool gray walls allow for easy redecorating for pocket change. The clean lined four poster draws the eye upward and toward the unique ceiling treatment. White painted dressers flanking the sides of the bed work overtime as both nightstands and clothing storage space. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>iwanosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05230861172919271737noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5463577626120253897.post-15440215219095942582014-07-01T09:05:00.000-07:002014-12-08T22:12:17.573-08:00Easy Ideas for Decorating Small Spaces<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Decorating a small space has it’s own set of challenges. Today I have 7 ideas to help make the most of your space even if it’s not that large. Through the use of color, the right accessories, proper furniture placement and a few other decorating tricks, you can turn your small space into a fabulous space.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYYIaIVcptc2PUPTOQR7P2PQ8453itob8odw1KSOrt35TbOVIdg3_uc-RbVbF97kIixVUA3jZGsBJAO6gGmIVNw94w8Kh4lqhzTtNHjfaamV2WGnTiBsv32qsm7txYOuUdAumI4OLf7wg/s640/Easy-Ideas-for-Decorating-Small-Spaces.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></div><br />Paint an Accent Wall. Dark colors make a wall recede giving the illusion of more depth in a room. Paint one wall a contrasting color then carry that color into the room through accessories and fabrics.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj63r4KzTz3chkbsANWnf8CGvQW_MOdAPUudsyFvgJYZwHTzfRgvY5I2zCD6Up1IhknI6QhCxHg7Tzg1_tQicPSNVX_UpnLEM1qYGFojifLtJnLPcW1Li3M2q4tHfKadnyUj2Bl5JC-vU4/s640/Easy-Ideas-for-Decorating-Small-Spaces-2.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></div><br />Create a desk in a niche. Utilize small nooks or niches to add a shelf to use as a desk. Decorative corbels and trim help to give it a finished look.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin98teqRPynAJQggNbCfMW74YX3-ZQdr20PQajd-l5WLIAsRPPefEGMw1WocnzNXZ1-RVvyEJ5Ev5Lw2hhswYYkBKlLE1x1eMrdpPAqA8yeHRlTULUosjaylUjQy7MsV4_kWTYBit0SEM/s640/Easy-Ideas-for-Decorating-Small-Spaces-3.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></div><br />Choose furniture you can see through. Clear chairs and a glass top table help to visually expand a small dining area and keep it from feeling cramped.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLBDqFfAorKtGaZ0hq24xeCUdSGIG8UtWaVDkp0hjSqGXesSj3sU_ApI0dwRVT2nMI7it9OyfG4wttRZGow2XDTxpgq8XnRhOaXoLYN0ia5_166sqcDUd3U10H0q6uxsAsCn1DWLt-dyU/s640/Easy-Ideas-for-Decorating-Small-Spaces-4.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></div><br />Choose furniture that is multi-functional. A daybed functions as a sofa during the day and a bed at night. This is an excellent solution if you live in a studio apartment or don’t have the space for a guest room.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDt_mhANmt08_lRq7vIhDx8tprAkcLhXaBEodvJyzHSTe_OpsGtw-jjwDb_1hpaMRgZ-N-K8JNyqt1uzSUl9nG3D0rqobYpPBI66dOQ4Hd8qrMKawO35QxlFr30T94FiP_l_lAXfWmtcQ/s640/Easy-Ideas-for-Decorating-Small-Spaces-5.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></div><br />Use smaller armless side chairs. Lightweight chairs without arms work better in smaller spaces because they are easier to maneuver in and out of and they can easily be moved from one room to another.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih9P42bANUrR3O_I2h5m5PKJ-sROeBkiUPfP6PXeFR5GqdA23upEcNQ2qfOsnzevF6VM8Hc1cf_g8cJK6gQPdfnS4HbvR1dtLz73EMhV5zJnrk-Q493aByxIVjm-WWET-Qio-XSXsK2SM/s640/Easy-Ideas-for-Decorating-Small-Spaces-6.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></div><br />Keep your kitchen storage open. Heavy upper cabinets can sometimes make a small kitchen seem even smaller. By using open shelving, the eye is tricked into believing the space is larger.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKeT0F51dz_VS-KJAckHJ7qmKSKPr0kdhkKXW-6gv8Xfq2tfMTq7vONGmeN1SFnBfAMQnmLyzYUABgQO6FNM9_e53parempUXkzOGki3dXqd8AbsSG4n7gMQbf50JydR264WwL7KqLb0w/s640/Easy-Ideas-for-Decorating-Small-Spaces-7.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></div><br />Select furniture that doesn’t weigh the space down. This bed offers a great focal point in this room and the height brings the eye up. Like the clear furniture mentioned above, the sleek style doesn’t take up too much visual space. Keeping things light and airy helps to make the space feel larger.<br /><br /><span style="color: orange;"><b>By Peggy Pardo</b></span><br /><span style="color: orange;"><b><br /></b></span></div>iwanosehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05230861172919271737noreply@blogger.com0
