			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Take Away All Interior Design Ideas</p>
<p>Why should the interior design of your home be any different from anyone else&#8217;s?  It could be so much easier to simply follow the crowd and show no fear about a lack of originality if every home was pre-packaged with a unit appearance.  Here are some ideas to keep the interior of your home as conformist as you can, and perhaps these will allow you the simple peace of a non-designed house.</p>
<p>First &#8211; please be sure to remove all coordination from your home.  Recent studies have shown that balancing the cloth of your living room upholstery to the window and floor treatments can spark sensations of appreciation and pleasure in household members and guests.  It is therefore critical for the practicing conformist to remove all hints of matching or complimentary designs from his or her household.</p>
<p>After dealing with those messy matching issues, be sure to walk through the rest of the interior searching for original art pieces such as paintings, sculpture and folk art.  An interior which includes originality in their wall décor would evoke a sense of personality and interest in guest of the home, and it should also be noted that these guests might then find themselves assuming the &#8220;good taste&#8221; of their host.  That defeats the purpose.</p>
<p>To the delight of the true conformist, many interior designs are stagnating into set themes.  But you must take this a step further, and be certain that no new design or decorating ideas are found throughout your home.  Do not allow any inspiration to come from, say, your favorite books, magazines, or movies.  In fact, stop using any of things for entertainment.  They will only lead to further thought &#8220;outside the box.&#8221;</p>
<p>Use your head people.  Actually, do not use it at all, because that is the best way to avoid any originality or sensationalism in any interior design ideas.  It is, unfortunately, too easy to find simple inspiration throughout your daily life.  It is imperative that you do not write any of these ideas down, and then you will have a chance to forget your initial reaction and idea and move along in your simple, easy, and non-threatening little life.<span id="more-251"></span></p>
<p>Interior Design Tips</p>
<p>An interior designer faces many of the same questions when faced with a residential client.  Issues such as theme and fundamental style are not frequently an issue with the home client.  But there will always be concerns about painting walls, the furniture currently inside the home, and of course the floors.  There are tips to alleviate concerns and questions regarding these specific design problems.</p>
<p>&#8220;What about this color of paint? It is too bright/dark/soft/etcetera.&#8221;  The first and best tip to eliminate concerns about paint choices is to purchase a sample of paint to place on the wall.  Then, there will be a true understanding of what the actual appearance of a color will be. However, many colors &#8211; especially darker ones &#8211; attain their true beauty from the look of the entire wall after being layered with several coats of paint.</p>
<p>Trust a color pallet and a designer, but of course only follow intuition.  A color that is difficult to stomach may settle eventually to delightful surprise, or it may lead to a horrible bellyache.  Only cover a wall with a design&#8217;s color that will provide security and happiness in a homeowner.</p>
<p>&#8220;Should existing and endurable furniture be reupholstered?&#8221;  An excellent tip to be considered: evaluate the furniture for style and value versus the cost of the reupholstering.  An antique chair that fits the feeling of a formal living room that was purchased for many thousands of dollars would be an excellent candidate as long as replacing the original upholstery did not degrade its value or worth.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know what to do about my floor.&#8221;  Decisions about floor designs should be based on a person&#8217;s budget, the room&#8217;s use, and personal preference.  Certain floor treatments are incredibly expensive, such as hard oak floors, and they may not be practical in an area where stomping kids thrash through the interior.  Carefully weigh options such as dying carpet or laying rugs over existing hard floors.  It is all a matter of personal preference.</p>
<p>Actually, all interior design should be a matter of personal preference. It is not worth any expense to put something in a home that will force a homeowner to cringe every time he or she looks around.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Choosing up the hardwood floor or the home decorating plan or idea that better fits in with Empire furniture can be a little bit difficult. There are some very good books of designs to base your decor idea. You can then get from them interesting complements and ornaments for all the corners of your house, of course based on the colonial style. One the most famous books at the date was the &#8211; Illustrated history of furniture, by Frederick Litchfield. You can read some tips from that book along the following paragraphs. We want to encourage the readers to follow its ideas because they can help you to find your own style.</p>
<p>Materials And Ornaments For Careful Finishes</p>
<p>On secretaries and tables, a common ornament of this description of furniture, is a column of mahogany, with a capital and base of bronze (either gilt, part gilt, or green), in the form of the head of a sphinx with the foot of an animal; console tables are supported by sphinxes and griffins; and candelabra and wall brackets for candles have winged figures of females, stiff in modeling and constrained in attitude, but almost invariably of good material with careful finish.</p>
<p>The bas-reliefs in metal which ornament the panels of the friezes of cabinets, or the marble bases of clocks, are either reproductions of mythological subjects from old Italian gems and seals, or represent the battles of the Emperor, in which Napoleon is portrayed as a Roman general. There was plenty of room to replace so much that had disappeared during the Revolution, and a vast quantity of decorative furniture was made during the few years which elapsed before the disaster of Waterloo caused the disappearance of a power which had been almost meteoric in its career.</p>
<p>What Books To Consult</p>
<p>The best authority on Empire Furniture is the book of designs, published in 1809 by the architects Percier and Fontaine, which is the more valuable as a work of reference, from the fact that every design represented was actually carried out, and is not a mere exercise of fancy, as is the case with many such books. In the preface the authors modestly state that they are entirely indebted to the antique for the reproduction of the different ornaments; and the originals, from which some of the designs were taken,are still preserved in a fragmentary form in the Museum of the Vatican.</p>
<p>Classic Designs And Ideas</p>
<p>An arm chair and a stool, together with that of the tripod table which are favorable examples of the richly-mounted and more decorative furniture of this style. While they are not free from the stiffness and constraint which are inseparable from classic designs as applied to furniture, the rich color of the mahogany, the high finish and good gilding of the bronze mounts, and the costly silk with which they are covered, render them attractive and give them a value of their own. By reading the books proposed above you definitely can break the look of the interior design of your house, and will learn how to include empire furniture into home decorating ideas and plans.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are like most people you will notice that the retail stores are all decked out for the Christmas and Holiday season approaching. They are banking on higher sales as the economy picks up, so they are adding more lights to catch our attention. If you like the look of the Holidays like me, these decorations are getting us in the Spirit of the Season. This can only mean one thing&#8230; time to think about decorating my home.</p>
<p>Before you go out and buy lights to hang on everything not moving, let me give you some tips first.</p>
<p>Here are my dos and donts for using Holiday Lights.</p>
<p>1) Do pick a theme for your decor, like all white lights or blue or red. This will make more of an impact and ads some design style. No offense to the multi-color lovers out there. That is a different look all together that is equally charming. Those people might use jewel tones for candles and ornaments to add to the colorful scene.</p>
<p>2) Do not use different light sets together. Some people mix up their old and new lighting and I don&#8217;t like to see this. When you are dealing with electricity, even this low voltage type, you need to think about fire safety. Before you string up the lights outdoors and indoors, maybe you can take your kids or a small group of kids to your local firehouse to teach them some things about fire safety. This time of year is high on the list for fires caused by dried live trees lit up with faulty lighting. Call the fire house first to see when they could give you the tour and talk to your group. Then, throw out those old lights and buy them all from one place. GKI Bethlehem Lighting is my favorite if you can find them, but GE or another brand name would be a safe bet too.</p>
<p>3) Do wrap the lights loose around the branches or railings. Some times lighting gets too tight and can cause those blackouts in the strands we hate to see. One tip is to string your lights while they are on. Yes, this is not a hazard unless you get a call or a visitor. In that case, turn them off until you can get back to decorating. This keeps them cool and you can be sure to see any outages before you finish decorating. Once all the lights are in, then add the BLING! <span id="more-28"></span></p>
<p>4) Do not plug in more than 4 to 6 light strands together. Most companies will tell you on the packaging how many lights can snap together without over loading the little fuses. You may want to get extra bulbs and fuses when you are at the store, they never have them after the season is underway. If you think you will need extra, buy them all together when you get the big sale price. Yes, they may knock off another $2 later, but please save your self some headache and time&#8230;buy them now. You will spend more in time and gas going back for more lights, trust me. 100 count light sets, you can bet no more than 5 linked together. 25 and 50 count, I would make sure no more than 6 together. From my experience, and I have seen my share of Macy&#8217;s decorating, you can use the 6 ft and 8 ft extension cords to add more lights. The cords are easily hidden. No one will see it and you can be sure the lights will stay on and not blow a circuit or a fuse. You can also use black electrical tape to make sure the connections are safe and secure. This is a good husband job, they love hanging the lights. You can come back with your ornaments and glitter flowers when he&#8217;s done.</p>
<p>5) Do not over load your outlets. If you have any questions, electricians don&#8217;t mind a short consultation to let you know how to wire your Holiday decor. Better safe than sorry when you are lighting up like an airport outdoors. There are decorating companies that can help you and they know exactly how to wire everything safely.</p>
<p>6) Do have fun with your kids or friends in this process. Many times I have invited people over for drinks, music and games when we decorate for the Holidays. Make it an event to remember. They lights are great and all, but sharing memories with loved ones is priceless. That&#8217;s why we really have these Holidays anyway, right? There are religious events all through this season, but lets not forget the message of those celebrations. Peace! Joy! Love!</p>
<p>7) Do send me pictures, I would love to see your design work. If you get into a tough spot, I am available through email or a phone call. Ask all the questions you like, I am ready to help you. If you live in New York and don&#8217;t have the time to decorate, call me. Tell me what color you want and how you want it to look. My team and I will have you Decked Out in a Flash. Then you can enjoy your party and lavish in all the compliments when the music is rocking.</p>
<p>Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!</p>
