Change Your Room Easily With Artwork
I love having extra pictures and paintings on hand. They work wonders when you are bored with your rooms look and I also love changing them with the seasons. The best part about doing this is that it can really be inexpensive. Art is not always pricey, you can find some great deals online and get great art for very little cost.
One site I have found that has some amazing canvas art is Arts My Passion a really well laid out site that offers some art I have not seen in other place. I love the mix of contemporary and classic art that they have. The piece I have pictured caught my eye very quickly it’s a wonderful Contemporary Canvas Art piece that draws your eye right to it, yet the colors are neutral enough that it would work well in almost any space. I also love the look of the two separate images you can play around with this piece by either keeping it together or separating it to create two pieces of art.
Arts My Passion also has some great Abstract canvas Art and beautiful landscape art. Really there is something for everyone on this site. The hard part will be deciding what piece or pieces to order as I really don’t think you could choose just one and when you add that they ship free world wide you just can’t pass up this great art.
Proflowers Sago Palm Bonsai Review
Nothing completes a design more then a well placed plant or two. I love Bonsi plants because they are unique fun and can create a great talking point. Recently I was asked to review this Sago Palm Bonsi from Proflowers and I have to say I love it. It arrived quickly and was intact when I received it. I have had breaking problems with plants before because they were not packaged correctly, but this one was fine. It also was in great health I have received many plants that are almost dying when you get them and many times I’ve had to toss them after trying to revive them, but there were no problems with this plant. I was surprised though at how big it was, I expected something smaller, but it was a very pleasant surprise and I’m extremely happy with it.
Currently my Bonsi is placed in a window in our kitchen as we have covered our upstairs skylights to help keep the heat of summer out, but once summer is over it will be moved along with another plant upstairs to help decorate our hallway where we have niches to put them. I love using plants this way as it adds something to a bland hall. If you don’t have niches try hanging a plant or adding a shelf or table if there is room to your hall.

American Standard OutReach Lavatory Faucet Review
I received this product to review. All thoughts and opinions are my own unless otherwise stated.
I love finding fun new products to test out and this Out Reach lavatory faucet from American standard is really not only pretty, but useful as well. even if you don’t think you need one you find that you use the extension a lot more then you think. We put it in our main bath because my brother uses it to shave. Having the extension makes easy clean up of all that hair and keeps our bath clean for guest that may pop in.
Instillation is easy as long as you know how to install a faucet and it’s all assembled when you get it so there really is no assembly. I would really recommend this for anyone with small pets, or maybe someone who loves to do home hair cuts and needs the sink to wash hair. I also would recommend it for anyone with a disability as it makes washing hands easier, my nieces and nephew loved it!
What do you think about this type of faucet? Would you install one.
Buy Furniture Online and Save Some Cash
Buying furniture in a store does have it’s benefits, but it also has its markups. Sometimes you can find the same great furniture online that is in that store you just went to and it probably cost much less. Maybe your looking for a new bed, or dresser for your home. If you check out some stores these could easily go for $2,000 or more! Now if you checked online at sites like Overstock or Ebay you may find that the same mattress costs only $500 or even less! In fact I found the mattress I own for only $398, I paid $1,000 for it at my local store. 
Now it’s not just bedding that has hot prices living room furniture is hugely discounted online as well. Take this set I have pictured. A similar one is sold at a local furniture store for around $1800 I found it online for around $900. That’s a huge savings and you can either buy furniture you really love, not get it at all or save money on furniture and have enough to get some great accessories or maybe even a new mattress or recliner for the den.
No matter what you decided to buy, shopping around for the best deal is always a great way to keep your home in style, comfortable and keep your budget in check. Just because an item sells for more does not always mean it’s better. I would personally suggest buying online as it’s easy, you can do it from the comfort of your own home and skip paying high prices for that decorator who really may not have a clue anyway.

My Review
I hate doing laundry, it takes forever and sometimes things just don’t come clean. Something that helps make laundry easier is a detergent that actually works. I have been trying the Powdered Laundry Detergent from tropical traditions for a few weeks now and I am very happy with the results. I love that my clothing comes out clean, bright and smelling great. I use liquid fabric softener in my wash and sometimes the smell of the detergent overpowers the smell of the fabric softener but this detergent doesn’t and when used alone the detergent still leaves my clothing smelling fresh and clean.
