ABC’s of Fine Design

I decided with most of the world heading into winter to make up a list of my top energy saving post. Many people right now are very concerned about not only the environment, but saving money as well. There are many ways that interior design can help you to save your hard earned cash and allow you extra for those other cost, like gas and food.

I hope you enjoy reading these and learn something from them. I plan on doing many more in the future.

If you are looking to either save money on your bills this winter or are looking to help increase the value of your home you should really take a look at Tankless Water Heaters. These water heaters work just like a regular water heater except it only turns on when you need the water, this cuts down on energy use as the heater is not running all of the time trying to keep your water warm.

Tankless Water Heaters can save you up to 30% of your energy bill and they come in both electric and gas. You can choose which one you would like or what would work better for you. If your looking at getting one of these energy saving devices I would recommend you talk to someone who can figure out what size you need and if you should invest in more then one. My mother is looking into them and I would recommend she get a large one for most of the house and two small Tankless Water Heaters for her bathtub and the kitchen sink as they are on the other side of the house from the water heater. This also will save you money and time as the water will heat much faster. If your paying for that water you should see a savings there too.

I always love finding deals online, I’m sure your like me and love to shop and shop and shop. I love looking at new items and trends. The latest decor is always at your finger tips when it comes to the Internet and usually you can get a great deal on things you can’t buy anywhere else. Examples are handmade vases from India, or China. That amazing chest from Ireland that was on sale by a man who made it for his late wife, but has decided to sell it to make ends meet. Or wonderful carvings and woodwork from Africa.

I recommend shopping online for home decor because you can get such great deals. You do have to be safe though when your online and giving out information so make sure you watch out for sites that may trystealing identity information from you. Really what I’m saying is only shop sites that you know to be good sites. Any I give you for instance. You really don’t want to give away all of that money you have saved and earned that could go to getting you that new bathroom, okay so we all know it’s really just going to fill your gas tank, but we can dream right?

As I watch the news I find myself still wondering how many of these homeowners or renters in the areas flooded had insurance.  I know for a fact that renters insurance is cheep and home insurance is not too bad either. I’m sure many did have insurance and the ones that did were probably forces to get flood insurance, but what about those that don’t have it. Really they are out of luck and may lose everything they have with no way to get any of it back and no money to replace it.

This is why I right now I’m looking at home owners insurance, before I buy a house. I want good coverage and a good price. I recommend you do the same. Protecting your home is just as important as making it look good.

Sometimes you walk into a room and you think this is great. I love how I feel looking at this room, I love the color. Color can really make or break a room and your mood. If you don’t like the color in a room you tend to think that it’s dull, boring or sometimes you may even get mad and not even realize that color was to blame!

When you paint you really want to test out the color on one wall before you decide to do the whole room. The last thing you want is to waste good money on paint that you hate and have to redo. Instead you can spend it on those self defense products you have been looking at getting.

I write a lot on my other blogs about saving money with Coupon Codes. I think this concept applies also to design and decorating your home. Ordering things online is a great way to get items you normally may not be able to find close to home and at a good price.

There are many online coupon code sites out there, do a search and find one you like. I have saved a lot of money ordering things online with coupon codes, in fact I’m going to be using a code to buy my laptop next month along with ordering though a cash back shopping site.

If your looking for good deals on a home improvement buy, decor or furniture check out the many coupon codes available and see what deal you can get and how much money you can save.

A few months ago I decided I was going to try something out. I needed to make more money so that I could pay bills. I decided to try one method at a time to see if I could make more money using feng shui.

I planted some seeds and set them in the south east corner of my home. Unfortunately they didn’t take off very well and I had to try again. This time they took off and so did my income. I was able to get an auditing job, advertising offers on my blogs and more. I now I’m going to try planting more seeds just to see what happens. I love plants anyway and want more in my home so it’s not a big deal. The next thing I am going to do is try to also boost my career luck by adding blue to the north area of my home. Luckily for me that is my desk and work area so who knows what may happen.

Feng shui is a great way to enhance your home even if it doesn’t help you to be successful it will help your home look and feel better and I’m sure if your reading this blog that is what you are really after.
