ABC’s of Fine Design

Fall will soon be here in the northern hemisphere and I for one am very excited. I love the fall season with all of the bright colors on the trees and the unique decorating ideas that come with it. If your someone who is afraid of color now is the perfect time to add a little into your decor with fall accents.

Colors for fall are brown, green, yellow, orange and red. Deep rich colors that really can work with almost anything. Adding a fall arrangement to your table or mantel can really add a festive feel to your home. Fall after all is the time of harvesting and abundance, even if the economy says otherwise. You can also add a fall wreath to your door, I have one that has bright orange leaves and a brown backdrop. I love the way it looks once all of the trees around us start to change. Don’t be afraid to add a little color to your home, really it’s worth it and can keep your spirts up as winter starts to set in.

I found this interesting wastebasket from Snowtone today and had to share it. Apparently you can cover it with a magazine to hide the contents or just have a good place to store your bathroom and bedroom reading. I think it would be very useful for anyone with limited space. Of course you would not be able to over fill the can with junk though

I came across this very cool site today called Wall Glamour and they have very cool products for your walls. They refer to them as wall stickers, but I think wall tattoo is catchier. They have many different designs, a few have shown in this post and many of them you can choose your own colors. They also tell you on the website how to apply them and everything.

It’s back to school time and that means that the collage kids are getting all of their dorm things and are almost ready to go back. I have a great tip for all of you dorm students, label anything and everything you own a great way to do this is buy using a DYMO Labelmaker. Why should you lable things? Well, because someone could take off with it, someone could have the same one and take yours or you could lose it and maybe someone who finds it can return it to you.

Now when it comes to the things in your dorm, starting the year out organized will help you stay that way, and a good looking dorm room can impress the girls, or help you to make new friends as people ask for your help getting their rooms together.

One of the first things your going to want is a file storage of some kind. This is to keep all of your papers in that you don’t need every class, like the syllabus or at least a copy of it so that way you can contact the teacher or at least know where your suppose to be in the book that week. Again make sure to label one file for each class you have.

All in all if your wondering what is in right now for dorms, colors, fun and funky and stylish. If you don’t care about the trends, make it to fit you, dorm style is all about the person. There really is not a right and wrong if you at least try.

Today I decided to spend some time stumbling and I came across a site with this picture:

Is this the new wave of the future are we really going to end up going this “green”? I love the idea, but maybe not inside, outside this would be awesome. Inside it may make for a uncomfortable nights sleep, but since these rocks or living stones are actually made from 100% virgin wool. That means they are soft and ready for anyone to sit and relax on. I would recommend though that you keep the real ones outside and the wool ones inside or you can buy them for inside or outside, they sell both.
