Furnishing My Home!

Summer is finally here.  It is time to enjoy the wonderful weather and beauty of nature.  I love sitting at the porch in the evening  enjoying the summer air with a cup of coffee, reading the papers or a magazine or a write-up on Gulf Coast Jones Act.  Are you ready to re-decorate your living space or just want to give your house a fresh makeover when the warm breeze blows?  Here are a few ways to refresh your home with colors.

Add a colorful rug in your room

Brighten up the entrance with Teal paint on an old Hall Tree.

Paint one wall in eye-catching color to create a focal point

Accessorize with colors.  Simply choose a few colorful accessories such as throw pillows or vase and place them throughout the room.

With these simple changes, your room will become fresh and comfortable for you to enjoy the summer.

My laptop sits on my dining table because I do not have a proper workstation.  Yes, I do my work or read up on disability insurance at my dining table. Actually I do not have enough space in my home for a workstation so when I saw this multi-functional stand from Urbancase.com, I am hooked (no pun intended).  This wall-hung piece can be used as a TV stand, entryway table or even a bookshelf.  It has a drawer unit on the left, a drop-down pull out shelf on the right and also space for cables.  Pretty neat eh?  I am going to check out more information on this now.

This beautiful house in Denmark which I chanced upon at Design-Shimmer.blogspot.com is a house that I would love to stay in.  I heart its decor.  The walls, floors, doors and windows are in shades of white.  This house has a rustic look and I just love the wicker baskets around the house.  The wood furniture and brown rugs add some earthy tones in the house.  I can picture myself sitting at the dining table, enjoying my cuppa or simply reading a book or my face cream reviews. Pure bliss.

The warm days are here and there is nothing better than enjoying a nice warm day on comfortable outdoor furniture.  Are you in the market for new outdoor furniture to prepare your yard for the summer days?  If yes, then do head over to CozyDays.com, an online store which offers a wide range of high quality furnishings, umbrellas, furniture covers, cushions, garden decor and more.  It is time to freshen up your patio with chic furniture or colourful accessories such as these Sunbrella Square Floor Cushions.

I love contemporary and functional furniture.  Stylish and comfortable, contemporary furniture are found in many modern homes today. Houseowners who want more space should consider getting contemporary furniture for their homes.  It is not easy to look for the right furniture for small space.   I really like this multi-functional ottoman at BOConcept.us.   Its flexible construction allows the ottoman to be converted into a bed when you have extra guests over.

I was a bit under the weather today so we decided to stay in.  My husband was happy that he was able to check his credit score online while I managed to do a few things around the house.  While blog-hopping later, I saw some beautiful classic pieces of furniture. I just love the rustic look on them.   Thought I’ll share them some of them with you here.

Well, if you have been following my blog, you would know that I love things that are made from recycled every day stuff.  I love how milk crates and boxes are turned into coffee tables, storage crates being used as shelves and side table.  Yes, I love anything that is made from wood.  So when I saw this fabulous Surface Seat made from recycled wooden pallet, I was over the moon.  Don’t you find like this simple but cleverly designed chair?

I can spend hours sitting on this chair to watch tv, visit www.whatareblackheads.com or just chilling.

After a long, cold winter, most people would rush out to get hammocks, patio sets, flowers, cushions to decorate the outdoor at the first sign that warm weather is here.  There are many ways to make your outdoor space more fun and enjoyable.  If you plan to give your outdoor an updated look, you may want to check out Grandinroad.com for fabulous outdoor décor furniture and accessories without breaking the bank. Here are some of the items which I like.

Have fun creating a cozy and beautiful outdoor space that will last for seasons to come.

My friend has just moved into her new home about a month ago.  We were chatting a few nights ago and she asked me I could give her ideas on how to decorate her entryway.  The entryway is an important part of a home because this is the first place which guests would get to see as soon as they step into your home. Decorating the entryway need not be expensive.  One can have one wall painted in bold color which is a great way to create an impact.   It is also important to keep the entryway clutter-free.  Therefore, placing a huge bench or your fitness equipment in that space is a no-no.  You may add a decorative table at the entryway as it serves as a great focal point.  It is also a place for you to hold your keys, wallet, coins, etc.  A mirror can also add a sparkle to a dull entryway.  Below are some gorgeous entryways from Apartment Therapy and DesireToInspire.net.

Don’t you just love these stools with crocheted slipcovers?  How unique can they get?  They are designed by Ingrid Jansen from Netherlands.  The stools are handmade from recycled wood and the seats have crocheted slipcover.  A great addition to any home.  Check out Woodwoolstool.com if you like them.  Oh you can even find beautiful pillows, blankets, hangers, garlands and frames at her store.  I cannot wait to have them in my home.
