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

Changing The Appearance Of Your Room In A Cost Efficient Way

By Jean Parker

One of the simplest pleasure, when you have finished redecorating a room, is standing back and admiring the job that you have completed. It may have taken a little more muscles than you used in a while, and it may have cost a little more money than you have budgeted for, but when it is all over you are left with a room that you love. Since loving the room that you just created is a vital part to redecorating, this is a feeling like no other once it is achieved.

Often times you hear people saying that they want to redecorate their homes, if only they had the money. Well there are many things that these individuals can do that will give your room a completely new look, without braking the bank. The simplest thing that you can do is give the room a fresh new set of paint, and change up the paint color. By changing the paint you are creating a crisper, cleaner room that looks brand new.

There are a few things to consider when painting. First, if you are painting a room that is newly remodeled and it will be a fresh coat of paint on new wood or drywall, you must use a primer. The most important thing to remember is to use a good, high quality primer. You can buy cheap thin primer, but you get what you pay for and it never covers the way it should. A thick quality primer is an important factor in the smoothness and look of the final coat of paint. Don't skimp on the primer.

If it is important not to skimp on the primer, it is doubly important not to skimp on the paint. Buying cheap off brand paint might seem like a money saver, but I can almost guarantee that you will be dissatisfied and will have to repaint and spend more money. The little extra money spent on the quality paint upfront will save you so much grief and misery later. Nothing is worse than spending money on a project that you already spent money on. If you want to spend money like that and you want to throw it away, just stuff it in an envelope and send it to me. I'll spend it on some cool stuff and you won't have to worry about it.

In addition to using good paint and good primer, invest a few extra dollars on some good rollers and decent brushes. Everything just ends up looking better and being done better when you start with quality products. It is just like anything else, the results you end up with are equal to the level of effort you put into it.
