Furnishing My Home!

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.

Big ideas in a big apartment. I love how it is decorated. From my favourite decor blog - decor8.

A lovely purple bench with storage purposes near the door

Nice kitchen

I like the blue fridge.  How retro is that?

Living room with a touch of green.

A simple bedroom in orange sheets

I love items such as this.  Crates turned into a bookshelf or table

Rocking chair with colorful cushions at one corner

Check out these colorful table and chairs on the deck

Casual outdoor space that is simple and nice.  I love the colorful cushions from Pottery Barn, the vintage metal glider and the wooden coffee table.

This room has a Southwestern look.  The cozy sitting area with fireplace is just great for a warm or chilly night in the desert.

This outdoor porch has been converted into a screened porch.  I love the bamboo chairs, the color of the floor and the ceiling.

This outdoor patio looks so classy.  The rattan ottomans, the wooden coffee table and the wicker sofas match perfectly.

All the photos are from House Beautiful.

I saw this lovely ladder shelves at Wisteria while blog-hopping just now.  It is a replica of a French antique and has a lot of characters.  This type of shelving is very unique and attractive.  Well, it is not very suitable to keep your riding breeches on it but it can be used as a small bookcase or a side table.  It also offers a nice place to put stuff such as plants or small objects like photo frames, floral arrangements and more. Also available in red.  A nice decorative accent for your home.

You can create a serene retreat in your home by adding a fountain in your home.  There is nothing better than the soothing sound of naturally flowing water.  It provides the perfect backdrop for sleep, concentration and relaxation.  Make a statement of your outdoor space with this traditional style fountain.  It features a simple back with water pouring from its ornamental centerpiece.  This shell wall fountain is made from cast resin, light weight and easy to install.  Create a little paradise in your garden with this unique fountain.

The warm weather is here and I just love spending some quiet time on my front porch.  I have a wooden bench on the porch and it has been with us for the last 10 years.  I would like to give my porch a makeover and was bloghopping to some of my favourite blogs a while ago to get some inspiration.  I saw these 2 images from Morewaystowastetime.blogspot.com.  Love the hanging lanterns and the rustic bamboo chair.

Below is another lovely porch from DesignSpongeOnline.com.  I love how the owner of this home has used mismatched chairs which she bought from a thrift store for the porch.   I think I will look for a few chairs in various design and shapes for mine.  Perhaps a rocking chair too :)  Can’t wait to see how my porch will look like.  It will be great to sit out there for hours, reading a book or liporexall review or watch the clouds go by.
