I just bought a home and don’t have any ideas for the bedroom. The bedroom is long, it is easily the size of two normal bedrooms, it will be my and my boyfriends room. The carpet is a neutral burber with dark specs and the wall are gona be a light tan (on the brown side). I want it to be a mature room that is complete serenity we both have stressful jobs. We are both into native american history, nature, and things that are enviromentally friendly.—> a romantic room is never a bad thing either.

Are you looking to make your garden look more unique? Then you need to give your garden a personal touch with great garden accents. Garden accents makes any garden, large or small, more attractive and inviting. They can also make your garden go from ho-hum to spectacular.

Remember, pick things that compliment your garden. Garden accents should add to the decor, not make it look crowded or busy. Fro example, one garden gnome may be cute, but a whole family of gnomes is over kill.

Statuary items are among the most plentiful accent garden ideas. You’ll easily find a style that will suit your garden. From sculptures of Greek gods and goddesses to whimsical little gnomes, statuary makes wonderful accent garden pieces. One of my favorites: plant a small section of garden with only blue flowers and have one nice dolphin statue ‘leaping’ through your ‘ocean’.

Bird habitats are another popular accent garden idea. These include bird houses and bird baths. The available styles and sizes are endless, making it easy to include the local bird population in your garden. If you are going to put a birdbath in, be sure you keep it clean for the health of the birds and because a dirty birdbath is not attractive!

Water fountains are also an interesting accent. A water featured garden accent can provide a welcome and cooling respite during those hot summer days, as well as add an interesting visual focal point for your garden.

Wind chimes are a soothing way to add sound. Just the slightest breeze can start the symphony to your outdoor space.

And lastly, don’t forget to add seating, so you can sit and enjoy your beautiful garden. What is all that work for if you can’t enjoy it? Seating can range from simple chairs, swings for two, or hammocks. Regardless of what you choose, keep in mind the color, material, and size so that it too compliments the garden.

What is shabby chic decorating? In a nutshell, it is a comfortable, casual decorating style. It became known as shabby chic in the 1980’s but has been around for many years.

How can you get the shabby chic look in your home? Begin by mixing the old with the new in accessories and furniture. For example, use vintage accessories with new accessories that look old. Old pieces of jewelry look fabulous displayed in a new, unique jewelry box.

A new piece of furniture can look like a vintage piece by antiquing the surface or by lightly roughing up the edges with sandpaper to get that old, worn look. Sounds scary but gives the look of a classic piece of furniture and fits in well with the shabby chic decorating style.

Speaking of furniture; comfortable, oversized pieces that you can sink into is often used in the shabby chic style. Remember grandma’s upholstered furniture? This is the look and feel that you want! Keep in mind that the style is comfortable and casual.

Soft colors are used in the shabby chic color palette. Sage green, soft blues and pinks, and lots of cream and white are part of the color scheme used in this decorating style. This applies to the surface of furniture as well as fabrics used in a room. White or cream- colored furniture is the hallmark of shabby chic home d

Let’s review the “basics” of decorating with accessories. Every accessory doesn’t have to exactly balance–too much balance is boring! Instead, put things where they are pleasing to the eye and that add interest to an area. You can’t go wrong if you use the largest or most prominent object in a grouping as the focal point and balance other pieces around it.

Less may be more-don’t let your home look like a secondhand store. Choose to display those things that hold some sort of importance to you, such as personal treasures passed down from family members or items you purchased while traveling. Combining memories with the d

Christmas is a magical time of year for many of us, myself included. I love the sights, sounds, and most of all the life-changing meaning of the Christmas holiday. There’s nothing like it! To celebrate the Christmas season, we enjoy adorning our homes, inside and out, with beautiful, colorful and inspiring holiday decor.

So how do you achieve all of this? Running a little short of ideas and creativity? Let’s put a plan together that will work for you! It is separated into three very simple and easy to manage phases. The basics are for any type of decor and size of budget. As you read through the Christmas decorating ideas, take those that appeal to you (and your budget) and have fun transforming your home!

First, get organized. As you start thinking about your Christmas decorating ideas, remember that bright red and green aren’t the only choices for holiday colors. If you love those colors, that’s great. Use them and be happy.

Here is another way to approach your holiday decorating colors – look around your home and see what color palette you have already established, then use appropriate shades of red and or green, or gold, silver, blue, pink, teal, aqua, brown, etc. to keep a consistent color scheme. Your home will look it’s best and your holiday decorating will be a success.

If you are absolutely clueless about what to do with holiday colors, I would advise using a gold and white overall decorating theme. You really can’t go wrong.

Take out all of your existing holiday decorations BEFORE you do anything. Literally take them from their storage boxes and organize them into two main categories – the decorations you will be using this year, and those you are not going to use.

Once you’ve gotten to that point, put the ‘not using’ group back into storage and out of sight. Now you know what you’re working with.

Take the holiday decorations you are going to use this season and group them according to what they are. (Christmas tree decorations such as ornaments can be put into a separate group for now.) For example, I have a collection of Santas, so I unwrap them and put them together. I also have several different types of holiday greenery, so I group those as well, and so on.

Your next Christmas decorating idea is still for the ‘prepping’ stage, but it’s really critical to a beautiful holiday home. Take your existing non-holiday accessories…the nic-nacs, pictures, etc. that are typically a part of your home decor and put them away until the holidays are over. Remove the accessories from every room you plan to decorate. I literally take these items and put them in my Christmas storage boxes.

When you see beautifully decorated holiday homes in magazines, on home tours, online, etc. there is usually one thing they have in common. Each home has an element, one or maybe several, that repeats throughout the holiday decor. That is your next step – determine your holiday theme, or common element.

This common element could be a combination of a specific color + specific thing, such as birds, for example. Or it could be a certain style of greenery (usually faux) that has a type of berry, flower, frond, etc.

Whatever the common element is, you will see it on the Christmas tree, mantel, centerpiece, table top and so on. It it not always boldly stated, but the common element, or theme, is what unifies the holiday decor, pulls everything together and makes a beautifully inspired holiday statement.

Take a careful look at your current assortment of holiday decorations. Is there a common element already established? Here are some suggestions: white lights, gold bulbs, birds/nests, a particular flower, candles, grapevine, berries, wreathes, gift wrapped packages, trees and so on.

If you are undecided, look through some holiday home decorating magazines for Christmas decorating ideas. Your common element could be as simple as green Christmas tree branches/roping (real or faux) used throughout your home with white lights. By adding just a couple more pieces to it, you will have a beautiful holiday theme that is not expensive to implement!

Now for the fun part of holiday decorating! It’s time to place your seasonal decor and create your holiday home.
