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

Add A Cozy Feel To Your Home

By Barbie Williams

Everyone has a special taste in home decor. If your home doesn't display your liking it's time for a change. You can decorate a new home or an old home to get the look and feel that you wish to create and enhance. Here are some great tips to help you reach your goals.

Pictures say 1,000 words or at least that is what they say. If you want to decorate why not decorate with what you already have in your home, pictures. You can place pictures of different shapes and sizes all around your home; on shelves, on corners, and more.

Even if you have just moved into your home you can still use the pictures of your old place to highlight the decor in your new. Place a picture of your kids running through the sprinkler or the evening sun setting behind the mountain. You can use the pictures already in your collection to bring a little bit of the past to the present.

Consider adding wood furniture to your living area. Wood furniture has a traditional look and feel to the room and this is a feeling that most everyone is comfortable with. Wooden furniture is also easy to decorate and blend into your current decor.

In much the same way, earthy colors are also excellent for making your home feel cozier. Instead of harsh and glaring colors, earthy colors are easy on the eyes. They help to create an overall sense of peace and tranquility within your home.

Make a certain area stand out more by placing an area rug in a corner of a large room. This will give you the opportunity to make a dining area or breakfast nook without building on. The area rug becomes a focal point directing the attention to the table.

Because windows are always covered why not place a curtain that will absorb the sounds and muffle them. If you have a large room you can use the curtains to help cut down the noise and take out the echo.

All of the things mentioned above are great ways to make your home more cozy. For people who have recently purchased their homes, these tips are great for making their homes feel much more lived-in. And for those looking to add the perfect touch to their homes, they may find that essential ingredient here as well.
