Posts Tagged ‘Decorating?’

I want to add some decor to my otherwise plain home. but i need to do it cheaply. any website where i can find good ideas? i have an ‘arts and crafts’ style home and would maybe like to reflect that in the interior. otherwise, i am in my early 30’s, so don’t send me to sites that my grandma or mom would like! lol.

I have black furniture in my family room and were gonna replace the floors in there. If we get carpet I just want to get a white colored carpet, but were thinking about hardwood floors. Would black furniture look fine on top of oak hardwood floors?

Why is it the rest of the year is so easy to decorate your home seasonally – but every year after Christmas/New Year I’m left scratching my head wondering “how do I decoarte, now?” It’s too early for Spring, I don’t want to leave my Christmas stuff up….any ideas?

I have a bit of a ‘thing’ for older items. I have alot of brass vases, I love collecting candle holders, I adore the pictures by Waterhouse, brass beds, drapes not curtains that gently sweep the floor. Frames of our family, in contradiction, in black frames with the white inserts which give the impression of the picture either deeper or standing out of the frame, completely comfy lounges that arn’t big and bulky. Furnishings which need to be child friendly/proof…lol…
Childrens rooms. Girls, one who likes pink and princesses the other who leans slightly more in the direction of the gothic side. Boys, one who loves AFL, cricket and now golf. The other Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and small toys requiring imagination.
Finally, we live in a Housing Trust/Public Housing home but have pretty much free reign, we also have a limited budget.
Where would I begin? Any and all ideas: websites, stores, mags etc. Let me know please. I haven’t a clue! lol
Thankyou everyone. =)

We have been remodeling our home and now it is time to decorate it. Everything I like is out of our budget. Anyone have any tips, websites, stores, etc. to get a big look for little money.
Thanks

Hi there! I just bought a beautiful new home and all the walls are off-white and neutral . . . anyone have any decorating tips or sites I can refer to to spruce it up and give it a feel?? The model homes had amazing color schemes like navy blue with pewter and burgundy with gold . . . any ideas or sites I can refer to??

By that, I mean the tackiest paint (hurts-the-eyes pink walls with bright red baseboard trim), wallpaper (read: fuzzy green patterns on gold coloured curlicue somethings), carpets, furnishing or colour combination you have ever seen.

There are all types of swag holder. I chose the one that look like a miniature shelf with a hole in the middle and put up one each side of the window. (they screw in) Then I threaded two panels into the holders and crossed them over in the middle of the window. Lots of work, but looks it!

I would preferrably like to order catalogs from them, but a website, etc. would work too.
So far I have found:
-Ikea
-Pottery Barn
-Pier one
-Z Gallerie
My husband and I are moving into a new house and we want to redecorate everything.
Any suggestions on where to find some great and affordable furniture would help out a lot!
Thanks!

I would love to start a home-based cake decorating/bakery out of my home since I can’t afford a store. I discovered running one is illegal here. But I come across a few people who whip out their cake portfolios and try to sell you their services anyway. I’d like to make birthday cakes for maybe friends of friends and just have them pass the word around that I can bake custom cakes. Would you still do it and try to keep it low-key or just forget your dream?
