Book Ends

If you're heart belongs to the swinging 60's and you can't seem to part from your beloved platforms I have a solution for you. Use them as bookends.........Thanks to my very creative uncle he gave me this tip a few days ago and I feel like sharing it with my fellow homies :)

It's very simple, get your books and line them up adding a platform to each side

Outside is just as important as inside

The exterior of a house should always compliment the interior of a house.

Whether you live in an apartment or a house here are some ideas of how to create 

a garden oasis  

This and That

A few things that I came across while surfing the net this morning........

Colour Tips when painting

Layering Colour

Layer more than one colour in a room to create added interest. For example, if you use Matchstick  on the walls, String could be used on the woodwork and a stronger colour such as Cat’s Paw or Mouse's Back  could be introduced on furniture, fireplaces or in the backs of bookcases.
