(Apr 29th 2013 10:28AM) You can make an evening repast more special by adding candelabra, but why wait for such an infrequent occasion?

Gorgeous Accent Pillows Under $40
(Apr 5th 2013 8:07PM) Yesterday I was browsing the thrift store and happened upon some darling, hand-sewn throw pillows from the \'70s that I just had to have. If I had been shopping with my husband, he probably wouldn\'t have even let me saunter down the pillow aisle, but I happened to be with my grandmother, who\'s just as enthusiastic ...

Plantation Shutters -- Classy Window Coverings
(Feb 27th 2013 1:14PM) I\'ve installed plantation shutters in several homes I\'ve owned; I appreciate the classic style, and their ability to minimize fading of carpet and furniture from the sun\'s rays. While not as easy to install as curtains, they really look great, last much longer than fabric, and increase the value of your ...

Hallway Coat Racks -- Leave Your Stuff at the Door
(Feb 25th 2013 1:07PM) Because I\'m a great fan of multipurpose anything, I have always liked the idea of a place where I could dump my coat, shoes, and car keys, as I come in the door.

Accent Chairs -- Add Some Spice to Your Living Space
(Jan 26th 2013 10:28AM) In addition to the usual ways of adding some contrast or color to a living, dining, or family room in your home -- curtains, lamps, or carpeting -- accent furniture is a utilitarian method, in that you may actually use the counterpoint instead of just looking at it.

Electric Fireplaces -- Attractive Heating Where You Need It
(Jan 16th 2013 10:33AM) Pretty much every home has one (or more) room(s) that just don\'t stay as warm as the rest. It doesn\'t make any difference if the room is at the end of a heating duct run, or it\'s in a naturally cold location such as a basement -- it\'s still chilly.
