These are two very strange words to put together, but they can go together pretty well. Here is the thing, many people when moving don’t think about a lot of things. They don’t think about changing locks, if they rent, repainting the walls or even painting the walls in their new home before they move in. They are more worried about packing the cardboard boxes they have gathered and getting everything out quickly.

Let me tell you though if you plan out where you are putting what, what colors you are going to use in what room and have the painting all done before you move in, life will be much easier for you. Design takes time and yes when moving I know you don’t have much time, but if you do you need to plan before hand.

One way to make your garden look very authentic is to use furniture that fits in natural with nature. This usually means using a wood product but you want one that is durable, good looking and fun to use. That is where teak furniture could be the answer.

Teak is a great wood to use for your outdoor furniture, though it can change color on you if you don’t maintain it properly. The color will go from a honey brown to a silver grey. If you don’t mind that then maintenance will be easy for you. If you want to keep the honey color then you want to sand down the furniture every few months. Use Teak Oil to also help maintain the color. During the winter either cover your furniture or store it somewhere dry.

Yesterday I went out shopping and I always make a point to check out the lawn and garden area of whatever store I’m in, if they have one. While looking around I found a very nice simple blue and green pot. I thought this would work wonderfully in my room as I am trying to grow some plants for a fung shui test. I haven’t had much luck yet.

I thought looking at this pot that this could also make a great center piece for an outdoor table. It was interesting and could really hold anything. Once I found that pot I went over to a table and set it down. It didn’t look right so I tried another. Eventually I found a glass table that had a green hue to it and the pot looked amazing.

So what I figured out, was that something so simple could really make a great impact on a design or just a major purchase you may be wanting to make.

Are you a modern parent looking for some great style for your baby. Check out this new look from Ducduc. It’s modern, it’s different and you may just be the envy of everyone you know. Pictured to the right is the cabana baby crib. What baby would not love that. It also works well for a boy or girl so if you haven’t had the baby yet and don’t know the sex, you could get this and still be okay.

Another great piece from Ducduc is the eddy rocker. This piece looks much more comfortable then the rocker my mother used. It’s padded and very comfy looking. I think I would worry more about me falling asleep then the baby.

Ducduc also offers bedding and all the fun extra stuff for your baby too. The company also has won the best of the year merit award from Interior design Magazine. One of the top industry magazines.

Plants help to make a room feel wonderful and inviting. Plants also can make you healthier by providing fresh oxygen for your home. Some people though don’t have a green thumb so I would like to introduce to these people Grobal Self watering pots. These pots not only help you to grow plants, but they are also very cute and stylish! It’s also a very simple process to do. You add water into the chamber and it draws it up to the plant for you. There is even an indicator to tell you when you need to add water to the pot.

I do have a green thumb, but I’m still going to be ordering a few of these when I move. I won’t have much time to take care of plants next year and probably after that as I will be graduating. I know one plant I will be putting in one of these pots, grass, yes it’s strange, but my cat likes grass and she won’t be able to go outside when we move.

I have one question to ask you, what color are you going to get?
