Here are some tips to help you in accessorizing your home if you are on a budget.

1. If you want to revitalize your living room, you can just add throw pillows to your old couch to take the emphasis off of it. A combination of throw pillows of different sizes and shapes can be a good and inexpensive alternative to having your sofa upholstered.

2. If you are into rugs, new ones can be expensive. An alternative to that is to check out garage sales or shops that sell pieces of older pretty rugs. You can cut them into different shapes and sizes and scatter them around the house to emphasis specific areas. This can also be a good cover-up for hard-to-remove stains on the floor.

3. Lighting fixtures are important additions when you are accessorizing your home. It gives the ambience that you want and creates a dramatic effect when positioned correctly. If you don’t have enough to spend on expensive lighting, you can buy the inexpensive ones and place them behind a plant or at the back of the couch. It gives a romantic effect to your bedroom or living room.

4. Scented candles are popular nowadays and you can get them for only a few dollars. You can even place them anywhere like your living room, bedroom, bathroom, dining table, and kitchen area. Adding them to your room adds a romantic effect and warmth, not to mention the sweet aroma that it spreads throughout the house.

5. Plants are another option for an inexpensive home accessory. You can add flowers, orchids and other indoor plants to add color to your room. These plants also make good conversational pieces for your guests. You can find one for about $20. Not bad, huh!

6. An accessory that never fails to impress is a picture. You can hang framed photos or those of your loved ones on the wall or have them lined up atop a shelf. You only need to buy the frames for the photos which can be inexpensive yet look elegant and sturdy.

7. Curtains can add drama to your windows. If needlework is your thing, you can just buy elegant inexpensive fabrics from flea markets and make curtains on your own. Doing this will give you control on how you want your curtains to look. If you think you’re not up to that, you can buy ready-made curtains from flea markets, craft stores or home accessory stores. Just make sure that you have measured your windows before buying to make sure they will fit.

8. Remove all the clutter and unnecessary pieces you find in your home. If you want to redesign your home and add new accessories, make sure to get rid of the old accessories that don’t match the theme that you want. Just keep a few base pieces and throw the others or recycle them for a different purpose. Keeping your place simple will brighten the ambience and lighten the mood of your home.

Hoover UH30010COM Platinum Lightweight Bagged Upright Vacuum Cleaner with Canister

Hoover UH30010COM Platinum Lightweight Bagged Upright Vacuum Cleaner with Canister Review

I just got this vacuum today as a b-day gift..I've been talking about it for months.
My initial reaction is, loving it! The engineering is top notch! And the quality is impressive! The canister's hose and telescoping wand are highly durable and resilient. The upright's cord comes out at the top in back of the handle instead of at the back of the motor head near the floor, where you would have to just clip it up at the handle anyway to keep it out of the way. I also love that the upright will lay down horizontally to get under furniture and be easily held for stairs.
The only thing I would suggest to improve it is this..since the bristles on the hand brush attachment are removable, it would be nice to have a second option (ie. have the standard bristles and provide another set of soft bristles as well).
All in all, this seems to be the best vacuum I have ever owned (and my vacuum is always very near and dear to me..friends have been known to refer to me as "Mister Munk").

• Direct air-flow technology and Windtunnel Technology for fast, efficient results

Micro Lined Anti-bacterial Vacuum Cleaner Bags: Designed to fit Hoover Wind Tunnel(All Models Using Bag Type Y - 10 Pack

Micro Lined Anti-bacterial Vacuum Cleaner Bags: Designed to fit Hoover Wind Tunnel(All Models Using Bag Type Y - 10 Pack Review

I didn't want to spend a fortune on a vacuum but I also didn't want to throw away money on a piece of crap. I checked Consumer Reports and it pointed me to this model. Works as advertised although I would agree with other reviewers who mention it's probably not the best product for a bare floor. Then again, the agitators on every vacuum cleaner I've ever used shoot stuff away from the machine on bare floors before the vacuum picks up.

I was pleasantly surprised at how light the machine was. With the machine set on the lowest setting it almost seemed to move itself across the floor (although this means that you're working against it on the pull back!).

I'm still trying to find the best technique for step cleaning with this one. The 20-year-old vacuum cleaner this replaced had a nice edging feature. I'm probably going to have to break out more of the attachments to effectively clean the steps.

While I'm sure this would probably be true of any cleaner with attachments, I've been using the dusting attachment to clean duct grills and it's great! My old machine didn't have attachments so I use to do all this by hand. This one feature alone has saved me all kinds of time!

If I had it to do over I'd definitely buy this one again.

Feature

• 99.7% Filtration
• Convenient See Thru Dust Window so there's no guess when bag is full
• Desgined to fit All Hoover Windtunnell machines
• Also will fit Hoover Tempo

New on the market: a Summerour designed home

One of my favorite areas to walk the dog is in the Haynes Manor neighborhood of Atlanta, and as I walk I often wonder what the homes look like on the inside. Thanks to the wonder of online real estate listings, I sometimes get to have a peek into some of my favorite homes. Such was the case recently when I saw a sign on the yard of a home I have long admired.The architect of the home is Keith

French Barometers

Earlier this year, I did a post on beautiful clocks, and included all sorts of examples from my inspiration files. The clocks that seemed to catch my eye were the ones with large round faces that resemble train station clocks, as well as mora clocks, with their feminine curves and pale tones. At the end of the post, I mentioned a 'clock' that I had seen on the 'Cote de Texas' blog; it was one

Favorite Design Element: Framed Intaglios

Image via Quatrefoil Design From the first time I saw a framed intaglio, I thought is was the perfect combination of sculpture and art. An intaglio is a figure or design carved into stone or a hard material. "Intaglios, cameos, and medals were popular among collectors in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. Skilled engravers copied such artefacts from the classical world,
