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

Ideas for Painting Walls

By Owen Jones


Here you are then, standing in your new house! Its a bit of a mess though because the vendor was in a hurry to sell and had been in the middle of renovating. Still, you don't really mind that though, since it gives you the perfect opportunity to do your new house up exactly the way you want it.

However, now you need to decide where everything should go and which colours would suit which rooms, but you don't have any wall painting ideas.

So, you eagerly sort out your new keys and wander through your new house. The minute you step in through a door ideas assail you. That huge urn you bought a year ago would look fantastic in the corner, and you're pretty sure that your existing sofa set will fit in this other room. And you know the antique mirror table would look stunning in the hallway. The only thing you really get stuck on though are wall painting ideas.

You definitely don't want to just dab on a few coats of bland paint and be done with it. What you want is a masterpiece, something that you can look on with pride every time you see it. And, of course, you should be able to keep looking at it with pleasure for quite some time to come as well, so it shouldn't be too severe.

But where do you get decent wall painting ideas from, and how can you go about getting the wall painting actually done? There are a few ways that you could go about this, the easiest of which being if you have an artistic flair, so that you could get your wall painting ideas off the cuff, so to speak and paint the walls as you see fit. Unfortunately, most of us aren't too artistic and we are hesitant to pick up a brush or roller and apply the first coat of paint without any guidance. In this scenario then, you will need some help.

You could start off by hiring a professional interior designer to help you decide what would look good or you could sit down and watch some DIY programs on the TV, where they show some pretty good ideas on what to do when decorating a house and will even give you some great wall painting ideas.

If neither of these is a viable option for you though, you might just settle for going down to your local hardware store with a few fabric swatches and colour sheets of your most prominent pieces of furniture and enlist their help on stylish wall decorating ideas.

You might come up with a mixed bag of wall painting ideas with this last suggestion, but I found that it was the one that worked best for me and now I'm very proud of my slightly eclectic house. It reflects who I am just perfectly.
