Western Design Trends

I

have a friend of mine who loves western decor and she has now decided to decorate her new home in a western theme. She lives in Colorado so it’s actually fitting and would work well in that area. She of course asked my opinion about a few things going into her home. So far I love what she has chosen and I have added some suggestions as well.

One thing I thought she would love is having Leather Beds in her home. She has a great twin wood bed that fits her theme, but I told her for her master bedroom she wants something softer and a brown leather bed would be perfect. I also suggested she check out some yard sales and thrift stores to find great western decor without having to spend a lot of money. They have after all just bought a new house and they need to watch what they spend.

I also suggested since they have a ranch home to bring the western theme outside a little with fences, cactus and more. I know your thinking cactus in Colorado? It’s there and if we can grow Texas cactus in Michigan she can have it in Colorado, I know this because I have lived in Colorado, Texas and Michigan!

I love welcoming people into my home, it's usually welcoming and at least the public rooms stay clean enough. The big problem when you welcome people into your home is making sure it smells welcoming as well. You know how it is, your home smells like you live there, cooking smells, dirty laundry and pets all have an smell, but you can do something about it. With new Glade® Expressions™ fragrance mist you can get fresh fragrance easily. You don't have to worry about a lit candle, a pug in using your electricity up or cords and wires. The mist evolves over time so you smell it all day long

It's Time to Start Your Garden

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Bulbs. Dig, Drop, Done. for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

February is the perfect time to start planning your garden and if your looking for some great tips and ideas for your garden you may want to check out the internet for some advice. The only problem with that is there are so many places to choose from.

A site I have just found called DigDropDone.com this site has a ton of amazing bulbs for you to check out and learn about. The site even tells you where you can plant the bulbs and you can choose bulbs based on when you want them to flower.

Now, bulbs are not only for a garden. I live in an apartment and I use flowers and other plants, including bulbs, in my decorating. Plants not only add that touch, but adding plants to your home help cleans the air and plants have great mental health benefits too! If your not sure what bulbs to plant check out the Planting Guide

Not excited about bulbs? Check out “Bulbs. Dig, Drop, Done.” – an educational effort designed to excite women about the surprisingly simple beauty of flower bulbs. Dig Drop Done is giving away a $5,000 yard makeover! Curbside Chaos is a site dedicated to this giveaway and

  • The lucky winner will not only receive a $5,000 yard makeover, but they will also receive a visit from Taniya Nayak (@TaniyaNayak on Twitter) – Taniya will go through and give you tips on the best way to update your yard! She will give you creative ideas for incorporating flower bulbs into your landscape.
  • For every share on Twitter, "Bulbs. Dig, Drop, Done." will donate $1.00 to Rebuilding Together – the nation’s leading nonprofit, working to preserve affordable homeownership and revitalize communities.

One thing I love about this site is that they have three women that you can learn from. I relate more to Juliana who is stylish and fun. Though I have a horticulture certificate so I'm not new to gardening! Still style is something I am very into, both for home and self. Flowers are always a great way to decorate your home and they also make great gifts!

Get Rid of the Fear of Unexpected Visitors Once and For All

Is money so tight that you can barely make ends meet? Are you just surviving from hand to mouth literally? Have you let your house run down until it looks rather faded and rough around the edges? Do you prefer to meet people in hotels, cafes or restaurants? Do you feel somewhat nervous when people appear at your door step? Do people look surprised when they enter your home? Modern furniture has all the hallmarks of being trendy and long lasting without showing the wear and tear around the edges. This means that, when you decide to revamp your home, despite the challenging financial times, look for the following attributes;

· Fade-proof – Evergreen pieces of furniture can be found all around us. These furniture items do not fade easily irrespective of how many cleanings they undergo. They also look new and well kept in any surrounding whether domestic or commercial. Evergreen furniture is excellent for tight budgets where someone cannot keep changing their furniture every so often.

· Fashion-proof – unless someone has an unlimited budget, changing their furniture frequently is not a priority. Trendy furniture is both stylish and expensive and changes quite often. Sometimes it becomes impossible to keep up with all the new changes. Despite this, there are some timeless pieces of domestic and commercial furniture which can look elegant and fashionable in any setting.

This furniture is sturdily built to last many years into the future and provide generations of children and grandchildren with excellent service and durability.

· Rigid-proof – good furniture is flexible for many needs around the home and commercial premises. For example many items of restaurant furniture can be used around the house with equal results as far as adding beauty and style to their surroundings. These adaptable pieces of furniture can also be effectively modified to suit their new settings quite easily.

· Damage-proof – for furniture to be really versatile, it should not easily be damaged. This is because; furniture is used to support all kinds of weights and activities from all members of the family. This means that, it must be resilient enough to withstand the rigors of use over long periods of time without showing lasting damage. This kind of furniture makes an excellent return on investment.

· Store –proof – furniture like domestic or restaurant chairs that can be stored easily are more preferable because they can be moved around much more easily than their more rigid counterparts. The pieces of furniture that can be stacked easily are easier to maintain because they can be used as and when they are required.
