So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Simple Yet Effective Decoration Ideas For Your Home

By Hugh Maltives

Ceramic tiles and granite are two very handy materials for home enhancement. They can improve your home by giving it a more polished, newer appearance. They are often used for the kitchen, halls and bathroom floors.

A high-quality ceramic material doesn't need constant waxing work to maintain its glossiness. It is very easy to maintain and clean. Ceramic suits almost all rooms from the kitchen and bathroom to the hallways, and can also be installed in walls.

Tiles used on the walls or floors are pretty and can be arranged in any pattern you desire, but best of all, it is easy to take care of. Granite on the other hand, is on the higher end and requires more attention although once installed is just as beautiful and relatively easy to care for. You can also get panes of glass and work them into the wall into a pattern of your own choosing.

Carpet tiles are also nice decorating aides that can upgrade your walls. It's a creative way of sprucing up the room and you can even make your own patterns and designs. Think of yourself as an artist, the walls your canvass and the carpet tiles your brush and paint.

Ceramic or granite floor is nice, but what will make it nicer is to have floor decors to complement your flooring. Use area rugs and strategically place them in your rooms. Rugs in brighter colors will make your home appear more vibrant, while rugs in subtle colors will give off a more formal and more reserved aura to your place. Look around your furnishings and colors and use area rugs that will fit the rest of the rooms either as an accent or as the centerpiece.

There are many kinds of area rugs in various colors, sizes and shapes. The different fabrics will suit any functionality purpose as well. There are thicker hand-woven wool rugs that are great for your rather cool living room while thinner area rugs are ideal for the bathroom or the kitchen. An Oriental rug is great as a centerpiece or as a wall hanging. By accenting with other smaller items like flowers, some photos and candles, your room will look warm and inviting.
