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

A Contemporary Look For Your Bedroom

By Emely Gardner

Maybe you have seen the look in a book or at a friend's house. You want to put a contemporary style into your bedroom. You can do that without costing a lot of money but first, it is important to understand the contemporary theme.

Colors and lines seem to be the main issue when you are considering contemporary style. These colors include beige, black and white, dark brown furniture and more. You will want to look for straight simple lines that are not bold. Shapes should be simple too. The main result in the contemporary look is clean and simple. Open spaces and of course uncluttered walls are the way to go.

You don't want anything cluttered. Organization is the way to go with this look so go through everything and discard what you don't need or use. The bedrooms seem to always catch the overspill from other rooms. Walls should be white in color beige, or a pastel green. Neutral colors help to accessorize and not take over. The windows shouldn't have little to no coverings. Make sure that if you do use curtains the rods are simple too.

Beds are usually low, spacious with self-color bed covers, tucked in neatly to show the edges. Frills are not part of this theme. A neat area rug at the foot of the bed in self-colors or geometric patterns should be placed to match the surrounding colors.

When you are looking at furniture you will want to find contrasting design with dark colors. These colors and patterns should be small in size. Make sure you have a small closet to store your extra clothes with a chest of drawers to place clothing in as well.

A mirror displayed in a stylish frame is another way to add contemporary to your room. You will also want to add a dressing table to give it an elegant look.

Finalizing the look, you will need to find abstract painting in black frames. Just a few of these are needed so you don't clutter your room. Add accessories such as a clear jar with colored stones on the table or a bowl of potpourri. At the end of the day you will have a contemporary look and feel that will relax you as soon as you walk into the room.
