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 Steps For A Bathroom Makeover

By Rob Connely

If you're considering renovating your bathroom but you're after a low-budget decorating plan, here are some ideas for you:

To initiate the makeover of your bathroom it is necessary to decrease clutter. Take everything out of your cabinets/vanities and countertops. Go through all the products and decide what you really need. The items that are a must have store them temporarily in a spot where you can easily store find them later. Everything else you don't need get rid of it. Figure out a plan to get organized. Next, you will head to your favorite discount store for storage devices. Look for plastic boxes, storage bins, drawer dividers, and clear cosmetic bags. These can come in different colors so if you find a set you really love consider adding their color scheme to your bathroom.

Towel bars will be a great addition also. It is amazing how much adding a towel bar can change the bathroom. If you have the space available, put up a bar for each person in the family. This is a way for you and you family to remember which towel belongs to whom and which towels are clean or dirty. When you hang the towel racks be careful where you place them. Do not place racks to close to heating vents. When the towel is hanging you don't want it right over the vent. If you do not have room for towel racks, another option is to buy some decorative hooks to go by the shower. These can be used to hang robes as well as towels.

Design the bathroom with stenciled patterns on the walls, window, mirror and/or ceiling. Repainting might cost you some, so a simple artwork on the walls can also make the bathroom look better. A good idea for a wall decor is a nice photo or painting.

Because changing the flooring costs a lot, a good cleaning and the addition of an area rug will make the bathroom look good as new. Even better, you'll have a fabric that will absorb spilled water on the floor from your showers and that will keep your feet warm from the cool tiles. Be sure to purchase an area rug with the right size. If you have a big bathroom, then the size isn't really a problem, but if there's limited space, make certain that the rug fits right on the spot.

Finally, stenciling is a creative way to upgrade your bathroom from plain to chic. You can stencil patterns on the walls, mirror, ceiling or window. You can also repaint or polish the cabinets for a brand new look.
