ABC’s of Fine Design

It’s Monday morning and you are heading off to work, you going to that uncomfortable desk chair or maybe you work at a job that requires you stand all day to work, even during break you sit on hard uncomfortable chairs that don’t help you to relax and actually rest. If your like I use to be, you spend half of your lunch break standing in line for food or running around to pay bills or do other things. At the end of the day it would be nice to come home to something comfortable like the wonderful furniture pictured here?

Beads are a hot thing in jewelry, clothing and interior design, but you don’t need to spend tons of money on a designer bead lamp or beaded pillow. You can buy great wholesale beads at Beads of Cambay and get the same look as designer brands without the price tag of them. These beads are not just normal every day beads, they are of very high quality and are beautiful. Beads Of Camby offers a discount of up to 30% off many of their beads so really you do get a great deal with them.d

If you love the look of copper you should think about using this wonderful copper bead on a lamp or your curtains. This would look amazing with a red or brown fabric or shade. with these beads you really should use your imagination and just do what you think looks good. Interior design is not about what is in style at the moment it is about what makes you happy and what makes you feel at home.

If your not into the copper look they have many other types of beads and a great selection of wholesale gemstone beads. These beads are great to use in little girls rooms to add that princess touch even if the room is not a princess theme. Young girls tend to love gems and other shiny things that makes them feel special.

There are many things that you can use beads for in your home besides lamps and pillows. Make picture frames with your kids or use them to add something to mirrors or candle holders. There really are endless possibilities.

If you are looking for ways to save a ton of cash on home decor you should look no further then your closest garage sale or soon to be foreclosed home. Many people now are starting to move out of their homes due to this and may either leave things behind or sell them for some extra cash, now I know many would say this is takeing advantage of a bad situation, and it is, but you are helping people in the long run. You are either helping the people who have to move or the one’s who have to clean it up.

Yes many of these things will not be in the best of shape, but if it’s wood, sanding and finishing is all that you will need to do and that doesn’t cost much, just a few bucks and some time. It’s really amazing what you can find when looking around your neighborhood. You want to be more careful when it comes to furnishings that are upholstered if you get them right from the home as in they were not left outside you should be okay, but I would still recommend a good cleaning and disinfectant spray down, just because you have no idea where they have been. Also if you like the piece, but not the color it’s cheaper to have it reupholstered then to go to a store and buy something so don’t let that stop you either. The big thing to remember, good design is not always getting all new things, sometimes it’s reusing what you or others already have.

In less then 4 months it will be time for you to get all of your tax information together and start those dreaded taxes, but what if you could do them easily and quickly? Well you can, if you spend time now organizing your office and files. I know I need to as I have not yet this year and I know it will help me to get my taxes done quickly and get my money back faster, so I plan on using my Color labels and my dymo and getting everything organized very quickly.

One thing I recommend is to sit down and make sure right now that you have all of your receipts and documents that you may need for tax write offs and all that fun stuff. Stick them in files in a filing cabinet and label those files. This is very important because it can keep you from being stressed out later. If you can also scan these documents onto a disk and label it that way you have a back up in case something happens, put this disk in a fireproof safe, something else you should invest in and label it with your name. This is something I love about design, it really can help you when it comes to reducing stress.

The next thing I recommend for you to do in your office is really look at how you use it yourself. Are you always getting up to get to the printer or fax? Can you get to everything you use daily without getting up from your chair? If the answer is no, then you need to get more storage close to your workspace. I prefer having a few bookshelf and an area with my printer and fax right behind me so that I can just turn around and get what I need. If you decided to have all of your books on a bookshelf, organize them into topics or whatever works for you and label the sections. This will help you to get to what you need quicker instead of trying to remember where the book was.

I usually don’t recommend using wallpaper in homes, but this light up wallpaper is really cool and has to be mentioned as a great suggestion for any room where you either want to impress your guest or have fun with your kids. I could see it used in almost any room. I would love to have it in my bedroom as I love any type of interesting lighting in there.

The best part about this wallpaper is that when you turn the light behind it off it looks like regular wallpaper! It comes in a few colors from the pictures I have seen. Unfortunately the website is still a work in progress and I can not find anywhere to buy it yet, trust me I will as I’m sure this will be a very hot interior design product.

Winter is fast approaching and right now while the weather is good you may want to think about putting in a fireplace if you don’t already have one. Heating prices are going to skyrocket this winter and they are saying in most places it’s going to be very cold. I have put together some very stylish fireplaces to give you some inspiration. All of these fireplaces are from Bloch Design. Check them out for more really cool fireplaces.

Unfortunately someone has decided to steal my post using my RSS feed, at least that is my guess. Because of this I will be implementing some changes starting with the feed not publishing the full post. I was asked by a few readers at one point to allow the whole post in, but people take advantage of this and use it for their own gain. I work very hard on the post I make and hate that someone can come in and steal my hard work so that they can make money. I have tried to report them with no luck.

This is the last post I will make with the full RSS feed. After this one I will be changing it to a partial feed.

Again if you are not reading this on ABC’s Of Fine Design, then this post is on the website stealing from me and others. They are trying to make money off of Google ad’s. This Interior design content, like all web content is copyrighted.
