I was looking around the internet for something interesting to write about and I found these really cool Cherry Blossom Branch Lights that just jumped out at me and said we are cool. They come in 4 different colors that you can of course mix up to make a very interesting light arrangement. Or you can just use one or two of the same for a great vocal point in a room.

I could see these used a lot at weddings, holidays and as a discussion piece in your home for when the boss or the mother in law shows up. This item of course is not for everyone, but it is very unique and fun. If your looking for that extra something you should check this out. Use it in a dark corner to bring it light or as a centerpiece for your table.

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.

Buy this wreath here
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.

Wall art,

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.

Pictures and Artwork
Recently I got a sample of artwork from a website called Artaissance The site has some really amazing pieces and I really wanted to check them out. One thing that caught my eye first was the ability to buy a sample of an art piece that you like and then put that money toward the purchase of that artwork. The samples are a decent size and really if your looking for a very small picture to put on a desk, that might be all you need. I would suggest though that you save the money and buy the bigger paintings as they really are quite amazing.

They have many different categories of artwork such as modern, landscape and photography if your not into the painted look. The photography is also worth looking at, it is vibrant and very well done. The site also has a large directory of framing shops that can get this artwork framed for you. Usually this type of service is not available in my area, but they did have one that was close enough that I would drive to it to have this done.
If your unsure about ordering art online let me reassure you that this site does have a 30 day return policy. If you are not happy with the artwork all you have to do is let them know and they will either accept a return or replace the product, so there is nothing to worry about. Trust me though once you order the sample you will want to get the real thing and order again. Artwork can really make your interior design project complete, good artwork will make people talk about how well your project turned out.

If you really want a nice new look for your home before the holidays but you know you just don’t have the money, maybe you should think again. Just because you can’t afford a designer doesn’t mean that you cant get amazing Window Treatments, custom bedding and more. Now I’m sure you want to know where you can get all of this amazing stuff, well I have a website for you that I am sure you will love. FabricWorkroom.com is a site that has wonderful fabrics and valances and more for your home.

Swag Sketch
One thing they carry that I love are swags. There is one pictured above if your not sure what that is. The reason I love them are simple. You can add so much depth to a room by having one of these and you can also hide any ugly hardware you may have had to put up. They also offer free swatches so that you can see the fabrics first hand, you can order up to 10 FREE swatches.
Now if your in the market for more then just drapes then you can also check out their custom shower curtains, bedspreads and more. They are very reasonably priced and they offer tips and advice for ordering, measuring and more. Fabric Workroom also has a great guarantee where if you find a defect in the fabric or the design, contact them within 7 days of receiving your order and they will fix it. Some places don’t offer this type of guarantee unless you go though a designer. The other good thing about this site is that you don’t have to deal with a designer who makes you buy something you really don’t like, just because they love it.

I love style that can change with the times, the season or just your mood. That is one reason I love digital photo frames. They are easy to use and you can change the picture in them any time you want. I am hoping that I will have enough money to buy my mom one for Christmas this year as she had 5 kids and already has 3 grandkids. I think it would be a great way for her to be able to add to it and see all of them without cluttering the house with picture frames.
buying a digital photo frame can be tricky as most of them are smaller frames. If your looking for a big one to put on the wall you may have to wait a while or spend a lot of money. The small ones are still very useful though and allow you to store so many pictures. A classmate of mine has 2 of them over her fireplace with pictures of her nieces and nephews and her dog.
Not only do these frames keep your pictures organized they help you with your feng shui as well. You don’t have to have tons of picture frames all over to enjoy your photos now you can have them all in one spot and can enjoy a nice clean home design.
