Buy Bedding: Tommy Hilfiger All American Denim Twin Comforter November 23, 2007
Posted by Vedis The Home Lover in : Buy Bedding , comments closedI have been trying to find a nice denim comforter for my room for a long time. I can now stop looking !!!
This Tommy Hilfiger All American Denim Twin Comforter
The other 2 manufacturers’ denim comforters I had purchased had the stuffing clump up on the ends and the corners when washed (one denim comforter from Target clumped up after 2 nights of sleeping with it).
This Tommy Hilfiger All American Denim Twin Comforter is heavier and warmer than the other comforters I had purchased and it is much more generous in its sizing.
I am so very pleased with the quality of this Tommy Hilfiger All American Denim Twin Comforter and would recommend their products to everyone.
As always, Amazon, thank you for outstanding and expedited delivery!
What To Do After Quick 15 Minute Cleanup ? November 20, 2007

1. If you have a few minutes leftover after vacuuming, grab the container and take the missing items to their homes. It will probably only take a few minutes, but save you time tomorrow morning.
2. If the living room is relatively clutter free, use your extra time to vacuum the couch interior after finishing the floor.
3. Unless you’re extremely motivated, let yourself relax after doing quick 15 minute cleanup. While getting a lot of things done tonight might help you be ahead tomorrow, constantly working and not taking time for yourself will do more damage in the long run.

With the addition of some useful accessories, you can bring real style, wonderful color, and convenience to your bathroom, all in one swoop! Here are some of our ideas for making simple changes to the bathroom by changing or adding accessories.
1. Get New, Decorative Towel Bars. Who said towel bars had to be “ho-hum”? If you can’t find something interesting, check out the site for decorative towel bars
Don’t go overboard, but you can find some nice options for bathroom accessories in discount stores. Change out your old tissue box, add pretty soaps, and find pictures, shelf units, and small cupboards. Silk and real flowers and plants are perfect to spruce up your bathroom.
2. Use Attractive Containers. There are some things that just have to be in a bathroom. But you don’t have to look at them all the time! Hide necessities in decorative. A beautiful crystal or colorful ceramic jar can hold cotton swabs or cotton balls.
Use a pretty tray or rimmed basket to hold rolled-up washcloths. Find a decorative dispenser for liquid soap. Keep cosmetic pencils in an attractive mug and other cosmetics in a lidded basket.
3. Look All Over the House. Search the house for accessories to use in your bathroom. Roll up hand towels in a wine rack. Use a pretty mug for cosmetic brushes or cotton swabs. A crystal or metal tray can serve to keep perfume bottles together. Candle holders with colored candles and pretty vases with flowers or greens will make the bathroom feel more attractive.
4. Add Shelves for Function and Design. If you need more storage space, a bathroom is the perfect place for a wall-hung shelving unit or small floor shelf. If your room is large enough, how about a small bookcase for towels or a tea cart in a corner? A decorative shelf over the toilet can be used for display and storage.
5. Put the Trash Out of Sight. Our first recommendation is to put the trash in a basket hidden in a cupboard out of sight. If that’s not possible, be sure to place an attractive basket or metal can where it is convenient to use. Don’t choose a clear plastic one! Who wants to look at used tissue or soap wrappers?
Remember that the projects for lighting, accessorizing, and adding color to your bathroom should be fun and practical. You’ll enjoy the fruits of your labor every time you walk past or into your fresh, new bathroom.

Try Stylish Slipcovers To Makeover A Room November 4, 2007
Posted by Vedis The Home Lover in : Home Decorating / Storage Ideas , comments closed
Try stylish slipcovers to makeover a room. They can accomplish miracles on nearly every type of upholstered furniture. Consumers often turn to slipcovers after getting expensive bids on reupholstering, but that’s not the only reason to use them.
They easily hide unattractive upholstery but can also be used to add a dash of color, fresh style, or a seasonal holiday mood to a room.
Today you’ll find them in beautiful washable cottons, comfy denims, luxurious velvets, cozy chenilles, leather looks, and more.
Here are some tips on using slipcovers in your home.
1. Harmonize a roomful of mismatched furniture by slipcovering everything in matching or coordinating covers.
2. Try out a shabby chic look by covering furniture in white slipcovers. If the original upholstery color shows through, try putting a white sheet over the furniture to camouflage the fabric underneath.
3. Add some style and color to plain folding chairs by slipcovering them to match your dining room chairs. You’ll have attractive extra seating for very little expense.
4. Slipcovers instantly makeover “inherited” furniture. If you love your parent’s old sofa — but not the gold Herculon fabric — simply order a new slipcover and enjoy a gorgeous red sofa or any color you desire instead.
5. Even recliners, wing chairs, and ottomans can now be slipcovered in your choice of fabrics. Try some matching pillows too.
6. Secure a slipcover with a tucking tool that inserts a plastic channel deep into the corners to hold fabric from shifting.
7. Decorate your dining room for parties and special occasions with special slipcovers to cover every day wear and tear.
8. Add warmth to rentals, apartments, or temporary quarters with bright colorful slipcovers.
9. Consider your personal style before selecting a slipcover. Ruffled skirts and gathered arms might be your choice, or go for a simpler, contemporary look with straight skirts and tab tie closures.
10.Slipcovers are often made to be “no iron” by stretching them over your furniture while still warm from the dryer.
What To Put In Front Of Your Sofa ? November 2, 2007
Posted by Vedis The Home Lover in : Home Decorating / Storage Ideas , comments closed
A common furniture shopping mistake is buying a sofa and discovering that it won’t fit through the door or into the elevator.
Sofa is probably the largest piece of furniture in your main living area, it could look lonely all by itself, a big glob of fabric-covered seating. And when you’re sitting at a sofa, you’ll undoubtedly want a place to put things like magazines or drinks so that you can reach them easily.
But there are options for a piece of furniture in front of a sofa that can provide storage, a flat surface for decorative pieces, or just a nice break in the look of upholstered furniture.
Here are some of the suggestions for a piece of furniture to place in front of the sofa.
A Coffee Table. Coffee tables are available in all sorts of sizes, heights, and metal, glass, painted, or natural wood finishes. A traditional coffee table can have a glass top, can be solid wood, or can be made out of metal or finished with a high gloss to shine as the center of attention in the room.
A coffee table should be chosen in a proper proportion for the size of the room and the sofa in front of which it stands. A large square room would look strange with a small, delicate oval glass-topped coffee table, just as a small room would be cramped with a large, heavy, dark-painted square coffee table.
Before buying a coffee table, place a large piece of newsprint or brown on the floor in front of the sofa to help determine an appropriate size and shape. You can cut down the paper or add to it until you get the right proportion for the rest of the furniture and the room.
When shopping for a coffee table, take the measurements of the sofa with you, in addition to a floor plan of the room and the measurements you’ve determined will be best. You may have difficulty finding just the right size, but this will help.
A Coffee Table Ottoman. By combining the top of a table with cushions of an ottoman, you’ll get the comfort for resting your feet and the convenience of space to place items. Usually with this type of design, the ottoman cushions pull out from below the table top, meaning you can use both the top and the cushions at the same time.
A Large Ottoman. As homeowners are gearing furniture selections to comfort, the ottoman has taken center stage in front of many sofas. Really, an ottoman is just a large padded or upholstered stool or bench.
It’s a perfect piece to use in front of a sofa, as its soft top offers comfort for legs, the upholstery fabric contributes color and texture to the room, and the large flat to is ideal for placing a tray or books.
A Pair of Small Tables. Two small square tables, placed side by side, give a slightly more formal look than the more modern large coffee table. A matched pair looks best, but a mismatched set of small tables, of exactly the same height, can be used together with matching tops. If you have a pair of small antique tables, this may be the perfect place to use them.
A Picnic Bench. For a very rustic or cottage style home, a long, low, wooden bench is a perfect touch. The long flat top works well for placing books and beverages without adding too much formality.
An Old Dining Table. This is the perfect place to put a dining table. Of course, you’ll need to cut the legs down to the proper height (between 15″ and 22″) for your seating space, but the large surface will be convenient for many purposes, including playing games, doing homework, and entertaining.
You can see that you can use almost anything for a coffee table. Keep in mind that the piece should be sturdy, properly proportioned, and durable, and it will give you great wear and convenience in any room.
