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

Interior Design Guidelines To Keep In Mind During Renovation

By Garry Houston

Most people are at their wits' end when it comes to planning restoration work of their homes, and are bewildered by the sheer proportions of the job. Here are a few suggestions that will give you a fair picture of what it involves and make it less complex for you.

The first job is to understand what changes are needed to be made, and you can know this from designs on display in stores and from pictures in magazines on interior designing that can give you suggestions as well as inspiration for your project. A Moroccan theme, with hand-carved wood and finely embroidered carpets, or a 'green' outcome, with indoor plants and jute and cane furniture, or even a classic European theme, have an eternal charm and are a favoured choice of customers. You can also make use of ideas from Feng Shui, which help generate positive energy inside the house and make your living comfortable and calm.

Once you have formulated ideas of what alterations you have to make, you should consult an interior designer who can develop upon your line of thought. It is a wrong perception that hiring an interior designer for renovation is needless. Self-designing can result in faults owing to the person's lack of necessary expertise, and at a later stage he may have to put in more investment to get his faults corrected by specialists. Thus it is highly recommended to engage an interior designer right from the beginning of renovation.

Another misconception is that very often interior design exceeds the budget of an ordinary person. In reality, you can obtain the same designs as displayed in any exclusive showroom at a much lesser cost by using low-priced materials which expert designers can purchase for you from the market. But you should remember that the decor that you choose should be one that can be used throughout the house so that no room stands at odds when compared to others.

It should not be forgotten that there are many other aspects that contribute to a good decor besides big items like furniture and walls. It is important for you to cautiously choose the accessories, linens, and decorations for your renovated house as well, as these reflect your tastes and make you feel more connected with your house.

Lastly, you should not be discouraged by the enormity of the job before you. If you engage the services of a seasoned interior design professional, you will get the thrust and will be able to get the work done without any trouble.
