Simple Saturday, use food

Posted By: Holly  //  Category: Simple Saturday

I have a great tip for you. If you are having problems finding color combinations you like check out food magazines or make a plate of food up for yourself. If you figure out what food combinations look good to you. You can use those colors to decorate your room with. Now keep in mind you do need to use caution when doing this. Sometimes things look good because you like that type of food, not because the colors are a good match.

Simple Saturday, Start with a pot

Posted By: Holly  //  Category: Simple Saturday

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.

Simple Saturday, Accent walls

Posted By: Holly  //  Category: Simple Saturday

Accent walls are probably the easiest and cheapest way to change a room. One you don’t need much paint so you can check out the defect section at your local paint store and find a color you like. Most defect paint is defected because a customer just didn’t like the color. They come in and state that the color was not what they asked for and they get new paint. Remember though one person’s dislike may be your love, so don’t be afraid of the defect section. It’s cheep and can give your room the change it needs.

Simple Saturday, Fans

Posted By: Holly  //  Category: Simple Saturday

Many people do not like fans in their home, but they have some great benefits one is saving you money. Fans move air around a room making the room feel cooler or warmer depending on the setting you have your fan on. This means that you don’t use as much air conditioning or heat as you would without them. Air movement also makes your home less stuffy and more comfortable to be in.

Fans are easy to install and easy to use, just keep them clean and running well and you will start to see a savings.

Simple Saturday

Posted By: Holly  //  Category: Design on a budget, Simple Saturday

Right now most people don’t have much money to spend, but soon those rebate checks will be out and you are suppose to spend them on stuff. Not bills, Hydroxycut or debt. If your one of those who are able to spend it on stuff I think I can help you out with a few simple ideas, that won’t break the bank.

Check out the dollar store, they always have some interesting and cheep things to buy. I have actually bought some of my artwork I have in my room from them. Most people don’t know the difference. Art work can add a mood to a room and works great to cover up that bare wall.

Yard sales are a great place to find simple accessories for your home. Someone trash is another persons treasure. My aunt is great at finding doors and windows at yard sales. She even once found a tractor. We live in the middle of no where so I’m not extremely surprised.

The point of this simple Saturday is that not everything has to cost hundreds of dollars to be worth something. With the artwork splurge on a more expensive frame, and no one will know you only paid $5 for it, unless you tell them of course.

Simple Saturday: Simple outdoor accessories

Posted By: Holly  //  Category: Simple Saturday

This is something new I’m going to be starting. I’m going to be giving you a few ideas for simple decor items or changes you can make to your home. I hope you enjoy.

The weather is getting warmer and many people are starting to get outside. Right now is a great time to add a few simple decorations to your yard that you can enjoy both indoors and out. One simple decor item are wind chimes. They are a great addition to any yard as they have soothing quality’s to them and can really help you to relax. You want to find one that works for you and there are many to choose from, my favorite are the bamboo ones just because I like the sound of them.

Another simple accessory to add to your yard is a small fountain. You can buy these at most stores and they don’t take up that much space and are very easy to use. I will talk about larger fountains in a future post.

Those are just two things you can add to your yard so that you can start enjoying it. Both of these would actually work well inside also, so if you have an apartment you can still enjoy these items.
