Furnishing My Home!

I just found something really good today and I thought I’ll share it with all of you who plan to live a greener life.  The Spaghetti Scrub is a must have in the kitchen  This eco-friendly scrubber features natural abrasives made from peach pits and corn cobs. Spaghetti Scrubs stay very soapy and last for months.  Another great thing is that they dry real quickly so you don’t have to worry about stinky or moldy sponge in your sink.  If you want to start your green shopping, just head over to Crate and Barrel now.

Oh I am so loving this bedroom created by Københavns Møbelsnedkeri of Collect Furniture.  I got so excited when I first saw it.  As excited as when I received my free insurance quotes. This brilliant designer managed to take a small space and turned it into a bedroom for children.  This room has a high ceiling and thus a full-sized bed was placed above the bedroom sliding door.  Then, a wardrobe and shelves are built-in below the bed as well as the ladder.   This would leave plenty of floor space in this small bedroom for play.  It can also be turned into a study area with a desk and a chair.   This is a wonderful idea for those who are short on space in the bedroom.

One of the ways to make your house more attractive is to have a nice and tidy lawn.  An unkempt lawn would make a house less appealing.   A well-kept lawn does more than adding curb appeal. A healthy lawn helps prevent erosion and also filters the air and produce oxygen.  Regular mowing of lawn also helps to keep off infections parasites. Also, don’t forget the backyard.  So, if you want your house to be the best looking one on the block, now is the time to mow your lawn, save money, go green all at once.  The best place to get what you need is at CompostBin.com.   They have a great range of reel lawn mowers, compost and rain barrel equipment, compost bins and more.  You can find many CompostBins.com coupons which can help you to save money.  You can get $15 off any $150 purchase or $10 off any $75 purchase.  Ain’t that great?  So hurry and swing by CompostBins.com now if you want to keep your lawn beautiful.

I really love recycled storage crates which you can get from the market or the wine store.  They are very attractive and are great storage solutions.  The crates can be wall mounted or just simply stack them side by side for extra storage.  They can be spray painted in other shades if you don’t like its original color.  The crates can be used to store towels, toys, toilet paper, books and even Mopar parts. The possibilities are endless.  Here are some lovely ideas on what you can do with recycled storage crates.

One of my favorite type of kitchen decors is open shelving.  I love to see bowls, plates, cups and jars all neatly arranged on the shelves, especially colorful ones.  One important tip I have learnt is that when you opt for open shelving, try not to mix your dishes with food items.  It’s best to group like things together so that they don’t look so complicated.  Confine food, baking items or prenatal vitamins to baskets or canisters.  You can hide almost anything in these baskets or metal canisters.  Here are some nice open shelving kitchen from The Inspired Room.

Just decorate it with throw pillows.  Easy peasy huh?  I saw this great tip from RealSimple.com and would like to share them with you.  Check out the different styles below.

For the Modern Look, use odd numbers of pillows in different sizes

You can have a Traditional Look with two or four large pillows arranged on either side of a sofa.  It imparts a sense of symmetry and order

If You Want an Eclectic Look, then place three or five pillows to create a pleasing asymmetry without cluttering the sofa.  Just place them casually as if they just happened to be there.

Red is an auspicious colour which signifies prosperity, fortune., good luck and good omen.  Chinese love to wear red on auspicious ocassions such as weddings and the Chinese New Year. As Chinese New Year is around the corner, many Chinese like to decorate their house with red color as it brings good luck and fortune.  Here are some ideas on how to add the red color to your home.

You can paint your accent wall red

If you do not want to commit a wall, then you may want to add some red accessories to your space such as a chair, carpet or lamp.

Adding some red to the bedroom?  No problem.  You can focus all the color on your bed with a set of red patterned sheets or pillows

So, are you all set to decorate your home and welcome the new year?  I know I am.  Oh, before I forget, I have to get some eczema cream.  I want to look good during the Chinese New Year celebration.  Happy Decorating.

I was looking at some bedroom decors at Beautiful Home and was blown away by some of them. The bedrooms are simply gorgeous.  I like the simple and clean look.  I can picture myself spending a lot of time in bedrooms like this, just relaxing, reading a book or pronexin review.
