Bringing down the walls...
I have decided that each of the rooms in the house is going to be a different part of the world. The bedroom is going to be the only room that is a bit eclectic. It will be like a gothic theatre in India. Does such a place exist? Well, it will in my bedroom. I am not only going to have the closet...

All the bedrooms a stage....
In our bedroom in the "new" house there is a "fake " wall. The owners put up this wall with a door smack dab in the middle of it for a closet. You have to go in the door, then squeeze down either side to get to your clothes at the end. Well, neither my better half or I are pencil thin, so this isnt...

I'm sooo excited!
We went to the local furniture store last week and picked out a beautiful couch. It was in the bargain basement. Whomever bought the rest of the set didnt have room for the loveseat I guess, so we got a deal! It has hand carved wood along the front of the arms and bottom. The salesman said that it...

Be prepared!
Being prepared for sometimes strange and unexpected events to happen is a good thing. People might say youre a bit odd to have a hundred cans of raviolis in your cellar, but they dont take that much room and last for quite a while. When I lived up north and we were having the great scare of 1999...

Making a room "come together"...CHEAP!
There have been many times where I wanted a room to look put together. I would try to find pillows that would match or at least compliment curtains, table runners etc. There is an easier way around it. Find some material in a substantial amount. Walmart is great for this because they have bins of...

New House!
My fiance and I are buying a house this month. This should afford me the opportunity to try out a whole new set of ideas. The house was built in 1888. It is very old and very beautiful but needs lots of cosmetic work.I will finally have a staircase to hang garland from at the holidays. The current...

My favorite trick....
The best thing you could possibly own is a sewing machine (and a creative mind). The possibilities are endless when it comes to making stuff for your house, apartment or condo! With a bit of practice and a lot of patience and imagination, you can turn all sorts of "junk" into cool stuff. For...

An Idea From A Fellow Blogger
After visiting Dennison_Mann 's blog and finding out that the home and garden category on Blogit needed a bit of a boost, I decided to take it upon myself to contribute. Just for a bit of background, I grew up on the poor side but from the looks of the house we lived in no one knew it. We looked...
