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 Think About When Painting Austin Texas

By Gladys Holland


House painting Austin Texas should be done with care both internally and externally. The paintwork sets the tone of any home. Choose colors and textures that will blend seamlessly with furnishings, fixtures and fittings.

Fussy wallpaper is no longer in fashion. It has been traded for sheer walls in a single color. This places more emphasis on the interior architecture and also creates a clean palate against which select furniture pieces and choice ornaments can be displayed. Interior designers are opting for bold lines and blocks of color for pieces in the home.

The ultimate color for the understated, unfussy look is white. White paint creates a feeling of cleanness, emptiness and coolness. Expanses of white help make a room seem larger. The white can be offset with contrasting black for metal fittings like radiators and for wood work like doors and beams. If black white is too extreme or too formula, then it can be toned down to silvers for metals and grey for woods.

However, you can still have the minimalist effect but create a warm and cosy feeling instead of stark and impersonal one. Walls painted in ivory color give just this effect. It works very well with black which is useful since many of the modern TVs and Hi Fi equipment are black. Ivory can also blend very well with brass and golden fixtures and fittings such as lighting and curtain rails.

Any room for children can also incorporate the modern theme of less is more while at the same time be interesting and cheerful. Traditional colors still work very well for children except toned down into pastels. Peach instead of pink is popular for girls. Aqua is preferred over blue for boys. Lemon is also considered more preferable than yellow for both boys and girls. The paint work can be set of with decorative borders, decals and motifs or murals.

House painting Austin Texas can easily be a DIY project as there are a number of home improvement stores in the city. Otherwise, check out the yellow pages for listings of professional decorators in the area. Read more about: Painting Austin Texas
