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

What To Look For When Hiring An Interior Designer

By Alex Adams

A good interior designer can turn a house of bricks and mortar into a cosy home, which you can proudly declare your own. However, choosing an interior designer is not simple and you have to assess the candidates on a number of factors before deciding on the best one for the job.

A good interior design expert should have a creative mind set. A design that makes the house both cosy for its dwellers and appealing to outsiders can be successfully achieved by a designer who can effectively combine attractiveness with utility in his work.

The interior designer must be able to lead his team and organize matters successfully. With different jobs at hand, the interior designer has to be a good time manager to prevent delays that might cause the owner to incur more expenses and exceed his budget. The designer also has to make sure that the project follows stringent safety norms so that no untoward incidents occur during work.

A knack for planning the design and for detailed examination of blue prints should be the marks of a capable designer. He has to know what lighting would suit the rooms and how to set them up properly throughout the house. For example, he must be sensitive to the fact that every single room needs to be designed according to its own needs. He also needs to give careful attention to spaces like the kitchen and bathroom and see that they don't have poor ventilation.

Another quality of a good interior designer is his ability to come up with practical solutions to problems. Unforeseen situations often crop up during the designing project that the designer should be able to solve with his common sense and by taking the right decisions without any delays. Moreover, he should always be prepared for new ideas and suggestions, but must not get deviated from the ultimate goals of the project.

Lastly, a good interior designer must be able to strongly affirm his capabilities so that you feel you have assigned the job to a competent professional. He needs to give a patient ear to your advice and attempt to fit your ideas into the design. After all it is your house and you would not want to sacrifice on any aspect, whether it is elegance or functionality.

If you are mindful of all these factors while choosing a designer, you can be certain that you will appoint the right person. If the end result is up to your expectations, you will be glad that you were able to pick the right person for this critical task.
