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

Decorating A Princess Bedroom

By Shirley Foster

If your little girl longs to be a princess you can make it happen by decorating her bedroom, a room of her own. Movies display the beautiful princess like Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Sleeping Beauty, and of course Snow White. You can create a princess room with matching furnishings. With today's modern decor you can easily create a replica of her favorite scene or background.

First decide what colors you will be choosing. Remember that most girls like the pink and white but if she is a princess she needs royal colors. Mix in some deep blue or mauves in her colors. White should always be used as a contrast color so the room will seem brighter than it is.

Now you are ready to decorate her bed. Try using a canopy bed in her room covered in satin covers like pink or lilac. White or gold cushions should be placed on the bed. You may want to use vevet red cushions too. Buy some extra material to keep on hand or to use in another area in her room.

Windows should have silky curtains that are tied back with lace tie backs. Lace can also be used in other areas all over her room.

If you are artistic, then have white furniture in the room, such as, a dressing table for your little Princess and paint the edges with gold paint. Gold is a royal color that can help to make it all real for that special little Princess.

When decorating the floor you want to purchase an area rug that displays princess colors. If you already have a royal color rug down on the floor you can add the area rug on top of the rug. Make sure she has a rug beside of her bed so she has something warm to put her feet on in the mornings.

Also add a bookcase in her room as well as a rocking chair and a small table. You can pick all of these up at a toy shop. Purple is a royal color so you may want to look for purple shades to help complete the decor. Don't forget a cabinet beside of her bed with a glass slipper lamp sitting on top. You can pick these up at any toy shop.

To finish her dressing table you can add hearts, a gold comb and brush set, and a crown. Her princess stool should match her dresser. The fancier you can make her room look the better she will feel.

Decorating Tips For The Living Room

By Bill Younger

The living room should be an inviting space. After all, this is where we welcome our guests and spend time with them. Even as a family, hanging out in a living room that is comfortable and cozy is so much better than a room that lacks warmthI mean it metaphorically as well. Here are some basic decorating tips for improving your living room:

Cleanliness is next to godliness. How true is that! A clean living room no matter how small or simple is more appealing than a big and embellished but messy living room. A clean house speaks volumes about the homeowners and a cluttered receiving area magnifies that volume even more. Now you wouldn't want to be called a slob, would you?

A vibrant-looking living room beats a plain, dull looking one by a knockout. The more cheerful your living room looks, the more enjoyable it becomes to stay in this place. Use colors that reflect your personality and colors that go well with the furnishings. A put together living room is an impressive space that your guests see firsthand. They might not see the rest of the house but when they see what a well-decorated living room you have, the impression weighs on the good scale.

An area rug is the perfect finishing touch to a living room, either as a centerpiece or as an accent to furniture pieces. An area rug creates a stylish effect to the division of space and highlights items that it is paired with. Choose an area rug that meets your living room's theme.

It doesn't matter where you buy your living room furnishings. Online, department store, high-end stores or thrift shops, it's not the price or the quantity that really matters. What does is the quality of your taste. Follow your heart and express yourself and you won't have to worry about poor quality at all.

6 Tips For Buying A Down Comforter Set

By Billy Haynes

There are many differences between a good quality down comforter set and one that is not so good. Knowing what makes for a good buy and what doesn't is very important in your choosing. Here follows 6 tips to help with your decision making.

1. The term "fill power" is used in the USA to describe the warmth of a down comforter. The higher the fill power then usually it means the warmer the down comforter will be.

2. A poor comforter made from synthetic filling can have uneven warmth and cold spots and worse still can possibly get too warm or too cold. A good down comforter will have even warmth throughout due to the pockets of air built up by the down.

3. A good indicator of the quality of a comforter is the level of stitching on the quilting. Good stitching makes a difference to the level of warmth in a comforter.

4. Some comforters contain more feathers but try to make sure that you you buy one with more down than feathers. This is also a good sign of the quality of what you are buying.

5. It might be a good idea to look at the climate you are living in before you buy. If you live somewhere where hot summers and cold winters are the norm then it would be a good idea to buy two comforters. A heavy fill for the summer and a low fill for the winter.

6. Most down comforter sets are made from either duck or goose down. You need to be aware of whether you or your partner suffer with any allergies with regards to these birds. Before you make the purchase it would be a good idea to find out otherwise you will just have to settle for synthetic fillings.

In summary, there are many decisions that need to be made before you make your purchase. I hope the six tips above will help you make the right choice.

Organize With Corner Bookcases

By Bart Icles

The best furniture for corners, both at home and in the office, are corner bookcases. This is because they fit corners perfectly and do not really occupy that much space. They also provide a touch of beauty and elegance to any room that they are a part of. They are popular both in homes and offices and other commercial places since they offer storage versatility since not only are books the ones that are best placed on them, other valuables, collectibles, and mementos can also be placed on them. They are, more or less, among your best allies in keeping you place organized. Not only that, they are able to create a touch of style and sophistication to any room they are placed in.

You have a lot of options when choosing corner bookcases. They come in different widths, heights, colors, designs, depths, etc. They are also made from different types of materials. Some are made from wood, some from steel, some from brass, some from plastic. You can basically choose from a wide variety of corner bookcases. But of course, before getting your corner bookcases, you need to be able to consider first the specifications of the place that you are intending to use them in. You should ask yourself the following questions:

1. What is the overall look of the room that I want to have them in?

2. How much am I intending to pay for them?

3. Which materials are the most durable?

4. What am I intending to place in them?

5. Do I need to have movable ones or should I have them built-in?

6. What are the specifications that would suit the room that I want to have them in?

These questions will help you determine which corner bookcases to choose. These questions will help you choose the best ones in order for you to be able to get great value for your money. Normally, they have heights ranging from about 24 inches up to about 96 inches with depths ranging from 12 inches up to about 24 inches and with widths ranging from 18 inches up to 60 inches. Aside from the specifications of the corner that you are intending to put them in, you should also decide whether to have them built-in or not. If you want to have them moved from time to time, then of course, you should opt for those that are not built-in. Have them built-in only in rooms that you do not really do a lot of moving around the furniture in.

Whichever type of corner bookcases you opt to have, you will be assured of a great organizing companion at all times.
