A Personal Decorating Evolution
Saturday, August 16th, 2008When I look around my apartment, I am amazed at how much my taste has changed over the years.
In high school I went for the classic “all-purple” look, followed in college by the sloppy dorm phase. This decorating choice consisted of piles of clothes, books, and pizzas, with a couple […]
Prized Posession
Friday, August 15th, 2008We all have that one thing we are more proud of than anything else, something we worked really hard on. Mine was the crab recipe collection I have made over the years.

Easy way to sell and rent back your home
Friday, August 15th, 2008It’s always easy to sell and rent back your home if you sell it to an acquaintance. The mere fact that you are selling it to someone you known may not get you the best of the money. This is real important as there may not be many people who will be interested in this […]
Mailboxes as a Creative Outlet?
Friday, August 15th, 2008As I look up and down the street where I live, I’m constantly amazed at how my neighbors express their individuality.
For instance, most of them have “tricked out” their mailboxes. One looks like a horse with an open mouth, one a big flower, and still another a clam shell.
Although some of these creations might […]

Beach
Wednesday, August 13th, 2008I would love to create a beach scene on the wall of my bathroom. It would be kind of like I was at the beach when I was taking a bath, and very relaxing. I am not very good at freehand drawing though, so I was thinking I could purchase some stencils somewhere to […]
Use tiles in your kitchens
Tuesday, August 12th, 2008Kitchen is one place which must be more than just clean. It’s cooking which is done there and then anything dirty there can really decrease the quality of your food.

I Can’t Live With This Low Water Pressure Any More.
Sunday, August 10th, 2008I have just about had it with the water pressure problem in this house. I feel like nothing is working. Our dishwasher isn’t cleaning the dishes well and neither is the clothes washer. Our toilets take forever to refill and it seems like I am showering under a trickle of water instead of a stream. […]
Table Lamps 101
Friday, August 8th, 2008A good rule of thumb when buying lamps, choose a shade that’s approximately two thirds the height of the base. Also check if the shell if big enough to cover the hardware underneath. Lamps should also be proportioned to the size of the table. The size of your table lamps should be a few inches […]
Decorating Decisions
Friday, August 8th, 2008I am re-decorating my living room, and I want to put some great tropical, silk plants in it. I do not want them to look fake, though, so I want to find some great planters to add to the authenticity of the plants. They should not only look real, but also fit in […]
