Lighting can be dramatic, simple or set a mood, but sometimes it can also just be a lot of fun and great to look at. I have gathered a collection of some really funky and stylish lamps that may just inspire you to take a look at your home design. Sometimes it’s amazing what you can come up with. I think my favorite one is the on bedrock lamp, it looks like a light on pillows!

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.

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 have been thinking of starting a decorating and house staging business. I think it may be the best way for me to get the experience I need to get into a good company. I know that sounds strange but because many states require that I take and pass the NCIDQ (National Council for Interior Design Education) I need to have 2 years of work experience under someone who also has passed the test, so now you see where my thinking comes in.
Anyway I think if I can prove that I can handle clients and work with people it may help me land that job after I graduate. Home stageing is something I have always been interested in so it works well for me. I have spent some time thinking of ways I can get the word out once I can get things going. I thought sending Business Christmas Cards or general holiday cards to people from a mailing list might help me get some interested clients. I want to do something different and unique that will get their attention. I may even include a discount coupon or something. The good thing is that I wouldn’t have to charge a ton of money for it either. I could do a free walk though and then offer the price for my services.

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.
If you want design ideas for this check out these few tips and feel free to leave a comment with your own.
Children’s rooms
Play rooms
Teen bed room (perfect if they like rock climbing)
