Home Improvement

It would be a great birthday gift idea if you give gifts for the home especially if the celebrant just moved into his own place just recently. It can be as simple as new plants or flowers, candles, silverware, bath accessories and many more. Moving into a new place is expensive and every little bit of help surely counts.

I have always loved colonial houses! There is something about them that just spells warm and cozy and leaves the imprint that the house is really all about family.

I also notice how colonial houses have simple layout house plans and it just works! I guess simplicity is really outstanding – and that somehow, we all need to learn how to go back to the basics.

Look at this colonial house which has been redone in accordance to the new owners’ wishes. It retained all its qualities, only shinier and suited to accommodate modern technology (like the microwave!). My favorite are the big windows – one does not need ATV Lights!

I have always loved the yellow hue in everything. In fact, whenever I test out an online printing service, I always send in a card with different yellow hues to make sure they get the shades correct.

And the color yellow can have amazing effects in rooms too! Look at how it has transformed every type of room above. I am totally in love with the yellow accent wall for the hallway. And dining with yellow walls just makes me happy already!

We live in a small home. Sometimes I comically think Id need to use adapexin-p to lose some weight so I can fit in our house. And yet when I see these bold colors in small spaces, I think about the endless possibilities of solutions we can make to transform our place into a better one. I love the yellow room – what’s your pick?

While your boss might appreciate a box of cohiba cigars, his wife might appreciate a copy of a home interior decorating magazine like the Lonny Mag. I have personally seen the magazine and it was such a delight seeing all the great houses. It inspired me to create such looks for my home.

Here are some designs that spoke to me:
