Decorative Chalkboards

In order to stay in the game, manufacturers of educational products not only have to maintain the premium quality of their products, but also have to appeal to their customers in terms of other sensory details. Such products not only have to be durable, attractive, and appropriate for the purpose, but also pleasant to look at and even, in many cases, fun.

We all know that learning is faster and more efficient when it is fun. That's why people respond better to audio-visual learning than to the age-old chalkboard method. For a child, it is always fun to learn on a chalkboard that looks like an apple or a cat rather than a boring old-fashioned one. The same principle applies to adults too, whether or not they will admit it. For example, a tack board placed in an office, if colored and attractive, will prompt persons to read it sooner than if it were minimal and plain.

Decorative

Various types of boards are made now. Their frames can be made from acrylic, plastic, aluminum, china, teak, oak, and glass. Shapes differ too, as they can be shaped like cats, dogs, flowers, fruits, grapevine patterns, vintage designs, etc. Therefore, their frames can be used with a combination of these materials. The fact of the matter is that boards don?t have to be limited to outdoor or formal work. They can be placed around the house to leave notes.

Today, corkboards, flannel boards, and portable display boards can be found in colorful designs and patterns that appeal to children as well as grown ups and add a special touch to the dullest classroom or work place.

Ideas For Your New Bathroom Vanity

With so many choices in design, color, and materials the cost of a new bathroom vanity can skyrocket. There are ways to achieve the same look designer's use for a fraction of the cost. In this article we will discuss how to take the simple, well built cabinet and use it as part of our decorating ideas. Think of the cabinet as the foundation of your project. With a good solid base you won't have to worry, for years, about doing this job again.

Bathroom vanities come in all shapes and sizes. They can be purchased pre-finished or ready to stain. If you have a flair for painting this is a very easy project to take on. Cabinets can be painted or stained in the garage, before installing the cabinet, where you have more space and better ventilation. There are a lot of new techniques for finishing cabinets. Visit your local home improvement store, paint department, and see what they have available. You can also purchase a pre-finished cabinet which will reduce installation time.

\"decorating Ideas\"

If you find a cabinet that you like but are not impressed with the hardware features, you can easily change them with quality, better functioning, parts. Drawer slides, hinges, and knobs are a few of these hardware items that can be changed out. Drawers take a lot of abuse with daily use and a new drawer slide can make them operate like butter. There are even self-closing slides available that do not allow the drawer to slam shut. Although there are quite a few different types of hinges, you are limited to the style of the hinge already installed on the cabinet. European style hinges typically are completely hidden from view and have a large adjustment range.

These are my favorites as they don't take away from the natural beauty of the cabinet. If your new cabinet does not have such a hinge you can still upgrade but the choices are more limited. The most important hardware feature, to show off your new bathroom vanity, may be the handles you choose. There are so many styles, textures, and designs that your imagination is the only thing limiting your decision. When shopping for new handles look for quality as a bathroom environment can tarnish a cheaply plated knob. There are several specialty stores that cater solely to this type of hardware. I would recommend visiting one of these stores to get your best ideas.

Slipper Baths - Choosing and Fitting

Slipper Baths

A slipper bath is a traditional bath with feet, that has a plug and overflow at one end making it what's called a single ended bath. Slipper baths have one end, the head end (where your head would normally be), that is higher than the other, foot end, of the bath. Slipper baths are usually roll top baths, that means that the edge of the bath has a profile that approximates to a section from the circumference of a circle, in other words it rolls, and if you try to balance your coffee on it, you'll either end up with coffee on the floor or coffee in your bath.

Decorating

Fitting Taps to your Slipper Bath

Many slipper bath, especially those manufactured recently, have a tap platform. A tap platform on a slipper bath is an area at the foot end of the bath edge that flattens out so that tap holes can be drilled in the bath and taps mounted on the edge of the bath. Some antique baths that do not have a tap platform have holes drilled (or cast in the case of cast iron baths) in the vertical bath wall at the foot of the bath. For baths such as these you need specialist taps known as globe taps, globe taps are still manufactured but your choice is very limited as they are almost exclusively used only with antique baths and most manufacturers do not make them, it is also quite difficult to find decorative water feeds and piping suitable for use with globe taps.

The best advice is to avoid such baths. Where there is no tap platform and no holes for globe taps then your taps either need to be wall mounted or floor mounted. If they are floor mounted they will need to stand on stand pipes, stand pipes cover the pipes carrying water to the taps with chrome or gold tubing and are also sturdy enough to support the weight of the taps. Stand pipes stand in contrast to pipe shrouds (also called confusingly and inaccurately 'bath legs'), because pipe shrouds are used when taps are mounted on the edge of the bath and as such are only intended to provide an attractive chrome or gold cover to the water feeds not to support the weight of the taps. Pipe shrouds are usually telescopic so that they will fit any height of bath (within reasonable limits).

Choosing and Fitting a Waste Kit to Your Slipper Bath

Most slipper baths are fitted with a traditional plug and chain waste kit, but the issues your need to be aware of are broadly the same whatever type of waste kit you are fitting. Firstly be aware that unless the foot of the bath is tucked snugly in an alcove the waste pipes will be visible, this means you will need an exposed waste kit, that is, one that is all chromed not plastic. The waste kit consists of all the parts you see inside the bath, the plug, chain and inserts for the overflow and plug hole as well as the overflow pipe on the outside of the bath which takes water from the overflow down and under the bath to join up with the waste water from the plug hole.

The other parts of the waste kit are the trap, which is effectively a U-bend that stops foul smells coming back up the waste pipe from your drains, and the waste pipe which attaches to the trap and usually has a right angle in it so that it can take waste water into drains under the floor or behind the wall. There are two main issues to consider when fitting a waste kit to a slipper bath. Firstly you will find that the clearance under the bath is too small to fit a conventional trap and you will need an extra shallow trap. The shallowest traps commonly available are about 55mm deep but you will need to get such traps from a specialist in freestanding baths. If the clearance under your bath is less than about 120mm then you will probably need one of these shallow traps. Secondly when a very shallow trap is fitted you will find that the waste pipe cannot be led out the same way that the overflow pipe comes in as they will try to occupy the same space, the usually means that the waste pipe must go towards the head end of the bath.

There are special considerations if your bath is an antique, in particular the plug hole and/or overflow hole may be larger than in a contemporary bath ans this may mean that the normal fittings that fit into the inside of the bath will be too small so that they drop straight through the hole. Apart from salvaging antique waste kits (which are not guaranteed to fit anyway) or having parts remanufactured there may not be an easy answer. I general the best advice is to avoid baths that have outsized plug or overflow holes.

What is Your Bath Made Of

The vast majority of slipper baths are made of one of three materials acrylic, stonecast resin or cast iron. Acrylic is a synthetic polymer of methyl methacrylate, in other words its a kind of plastic, not dissimilar from fibreglass. The main advantages of acrylic are that it is light, cheap and easy to manufacture with as well as being strong, non-porous and easily mended if scratched. Its main disadvantage are that some people consider it too plasticy. Most standard baths are made of acrylic. Acrylic slipper baths are usually made of two skins of acrylic that are strengthened at the base or throughout with some kind of resin. Stone cast resin is a combination of a powdered mineral, usually limestone and resin, usually some reactant is used to chemically combine these during the manufacturing process. The main advantages of good quality stone cast resin are that it is strong and inflexible, easily mended if scratched and has a somewhat ceramic touch and feel, at least when compared with acrylic.

Its main disadvantaged when compared to acrylic is that it stains more easily because it is more porous and in some cases it may not be the correct white colour, in which case it will be painted and this means that if it gets scratched it will have to be repainted. Cast iron is a very heavy material it does not retain heat as well as acrylic or stone cast resin. Cast iron has to be enamelled inside. One of two techniques is usually used - vitreous enamelling is the traditional kind of enamel, its main disadvantage is that it is relatively brittle and can therefore damage easily, once damaged it is not easy to mend. The second technique is cold enamelling, this is basically a paste applied to the inside of the bath that hardens, unless it is done to a very high standard cold enamelled surface can suffer from pitting, that is very small pin prick sized holes in the surface of the enamel that over time can fill with dirt and be difficult to clean causing black spots to appear on the surface of the bath.

Finally - Getting it into Your Bathroom

Slipper baths are usually quite high baths, especially at the head end of the bath and also they are usually quite wide. This means that it is important that you do not fix the feet to the bath until you have it in your bathroom because you will usually have to turn the bath on its side without the feet on in order to fit it through your bathroom door.

Western Decorating Ideas For Your Kitchen

If you are into the Western decorating theme, you can have a lot of fun using it to decorate your kitchen. In fact, you can take one element of the theme and go crazy with it. For instance, one Western decorating idea is to focus on a Western object like some cowboy boots or a cowboy hat. You can even combine elements and use both of them as your central decorating theme.

You can find all types of decor in the Western decorating theme. Try looking for cookie jars or other ceramics that you can sit out on your counter for an interesting effect. Also look for western themed curtains and light switch covers. One fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon is to scour the local antique shops for Western themed decor. You'll be surprised at the interesting items you can find! You can use browns, red, navy, or cream to pull in the Americana theme to the mix as well.

\"decorating Ideas\"

One great way to pull off the theme is to also look for accents made of unfinished wood. You can often find tables and chairs that actually look like they were made with unfinished logs. These are perfect for a Western decorated kitchen. In addition, you can use photo frames that look unfinished and put pictures of your family or of western mountains and hills in them. You can also find many items made from tree branches or logs as well as items made from deer antlers and items covered in cow hide (either faux or real!)

Another great thing to use is copper or black iron accents. You can get away with either of these. If you have a pot hanger over your kitchen island, you should try mixing both copper pieces and cast iron pieces. In addition, you can even use cast iron skillets or pans as wall decor and hang them accordingly. And don't forget pot holders, tablecloths and dish towels made with Western theme fabrics.

Try your own Western decorating ideas in your kitchen to see exactly what works for you and what doesn't. The Western theme is perfect if you love to constantly feel like you are the "Wild West" or in a log cabin. It can look great in any home if you are consistent with the decor. Using Western style accents on the counters, window treatments, floors and walls will help pull the look together and make you feel like you are rustling up grub for your cowhands on a Western ranch even if you are living in a modern city home!

How to Decorate a Teenage Girl's Bedroom

When it comes to decorating a teenage girl bedroom the Internet is your shopping mall. First off, do some online window shopping for a little inspiration and see what's available to coordinate the look and feel you want your girl room to have.

There are all sorts of things you can use to decorate a teenage girl bedroom. For instance, a pretty duvet with coordinating pillows can really bring a teenage girl's room together.

\"how To Decorate\"

Teenage girl bedroom decor items like a fashionable clock or a bulletin board covered with a matching fabric and some colorful push pins make great accessories.

The key is to coordinate your bedroom accessories with your walls, bedding and window treatments. If you're on a tight budget consider eBay or check out consignment and thrift shops for some great bargains.
If your teenage bedroom is small you may want to consider open and airy colors like light green or pale pink which will add the illusion of size to your bedroom space. Bolder shades can be introduced through the use of accessory items.

Decorating with mirrors is another fun way of enlarging your teenage bedroom space. Consider hanging a vertical mirror horizontally on one wall (possibly over a dresser or desk for assisting your make-up application) and a second mirror vertically on another wall or inside your closet door (for use when getting dressed).

Make your window treatments fun. Use your wall and bedding color(s) for inspiration and incorporate different patterns and/or textures.

A throw rug is another great way of introducing pattern and texture and can really bring the colors in your teenage girl bedroom together.

Be sure that all task areas of your teenage bedroom are sufficiently lit e.g. above your desk, beside your bed (for night time reading), where you put on your make-up, near your full length mirror for dressing and finally, in your closet so you can find your clothes with ease.

Re-painting, re-finishing or simply stencilling your teenage bedroom furniture is a great way to give your existing kid room a more mature teen room feel.

Accessorizing your closet doors and dresser drawers with decorative knobs is also great way of updating the look of your teenage girl bedroom. An inexpensive alternative would be to re-paint or re-finish existing handles.

Interior Design - Decorating Walls

It's sometimes hard to start redecorating your home, especially when you don't really need it, but you'd like a change. Interior design is a job for professionals, but with a little bit of imagination and some guidance you too could create an astonishing design. This is hard when there is no plan to follow. So, the first thing you should do is create a decorating plan, in which to include what you want to change, the available budget, tools you'll need, materials and the estimated time period.

Many people believe there is not much you can do on a low budget. That's more or less true. I'd prefer saying less. There are so many resources available today, plenty waiting at a click of the mouse, that you have practically no excuse not to create astonishing interior designs. You'll find online all you need, from complex mural and decorative wall paintings to ordinary wallpapers. Here are a few wall decorating ideas.

Decorating

Printed Fabrics to Replace Expensive Paintings

When all you have to enhance is a plain huge white wall, you might want to choose an extra large painting, but art doesn't come in cheap. If your budget is low, investing $ 500 - $ 700 to enliven a plain room might be too much. Are there any alternatives? Well, you could either make that painting yourself - but this will still cost a lot (large canvases are expensive; acryl or oil colors as well, plus the most costly tool of all: your time) - or you could visit a few of the local textile stores to choose a nice piece of fabric that will match the colors of your furniture or the other design patterns in the room. You'll need to choose a fabric with big prints and a special pattern, something meaningful, like a flower, leaf or butterfly; something exotic (maybe a palm tree or a colored bird) or something abstract. No matter what you choose, make sure the print goes together with the other elements of the room.

Decals Make Nice Wall Ornaments

Decals are funny in children's rooms. There are plenty of decals made especially for interior design purposes, both for walls or doors and even for furniture. You could find them in many home improvement or interior decorating shops, or online, at very low prices. The decals are great for small accents or trails around windows or doors. If you ever get tired of them, peel them off carefully and they will not cause any damage to the wall.

Latex Paints to Design Your Own Wall Patterns

You could also use latex paint to design your own wall patterns. If you do the job well, no one will ever make the difference between your work and real wallpaper. But you'll have the satisfaction of something unique, something no one else in the world has, not even those who employ skilled interior designers to do the job. If you want a regular pattern, you'll need a stencil. For your pattern to be really unique you should design your own stencil. It's fun and easy. Browse the web to find stencil tutorials for interior decorations that will guide you through the whole process step by step. Yes, this technique requires a lot of your time, but the results are worth the price.

Decorating Your Italian Restaurant

Decorating your Italian restaurant is nearly as important as what is on your menu. When people dine out they are doing so for a couple of different reasons. Often they don't want to cook and clean but still desire a delicious meal, and they want a pleasant atmosphere.

Creating an atmosphere is one of the main elements of decorating. The atmosphere that you create will greatly depend on what type of food you will be serving. If your main specialty is pizza, and your target patron is that of the younger generation and families, you would probably decorate your restaurant differently than you would if you were going to be opening a very upscale café.

Decorating

Restaurants with themes are becoming increasingly popular. For an Italian restaurant you may want to have a street café theme, or an old world theme. Both of these are wonderful for setting the atmosphere in an Italian eatery.

Once you have a general idea of what theme or atmosphere you hope to create, start from the ground up. Your walls and floors will have to be an appropriate color to help you create that atmosphere. Earth tone colors are very popular in Italian restaurants.

Next on the list is your furniture. Decide what types of tables and chairs will help to set off your décor. You can choose anything from medium to dark wood, or even tables that depict classic Italian art. There are specialty tables available from some distributors that include those with a specific Italian theme.

Now you will want to add to your atmosphere by choosing just the right artwork. One of the obvious choices would be a replica of famous sculptures, and artwork from Old Italy. Maybe you don't want anything that fancy and would prefer art that depicts Italian country life, or an Italian kitchen. Your options are many and varied but it basically comes down to personal preference and the atmosphere that you hope to create.

Greenery is very important in an Italian restaurant, especially if you are going for the "old world garden" atmosphere. Silk plants can be placed in strategic locations to not only compliment your décor, but to give the patrons of your restaurant the feel of semi- private tables.

No matter how you ultimately decide to decorate your Italian restaurant, keep atmosphere in mind. Providing an environment that allows your customers to lose themselves for the duration of their meal is as important as the quality of food that you serve.

Decorating Ideas For A Teenage Boys Bedroom

When decorating a teen boy's bedroom the decor you decide upon will depend on the teen in question. But there are a number of different ideas that you can explore and these bedroom decorating ideas for a teenage boys space will hopefully produce a room that they will enjoy.

Color

\"decorating Ideas\"

It is a good idea to paint the walls of your teen's room in deep or vibrant colours (such as purple or blue) and then use lighter coloured furniture which will provide accent to the walls.

Wall Art and Shelving

Normally the wall art you should be looking for to decorate a teen boy's room is murals with a sports theme or motor sport theme. Look at very modern shelving in order to display any trophies that they may have on them.

Bedding
When choosing the bedding for your teen boys bedroom is to go with the flow and use that which links in to the overall theme of the room.

For example if you teens room is based on a surf theme then you could paint the walls in an ocean blue colour and then cover them with surf and surfer murals. There are plenty of places where you can purchase bedding that will perfectly match the theme that they have.

Or why not go for a solid colour theme to the room and use other colours in small amounts which will enhance the overall design of the room.

Study Area

When decorating your teen's bedroom include an area for them to study. Each teen will have a different way in which they study and there are many types of different tables available which will suit your particular teens study needs.

Lastly but by no most least when you are looking at bedroom decorating ideas for teenage boys then you should wherever possible involve them in the whole process. You should allow them to have a say as to what colours, theme and designs they want included in the decorating as well as what kind of furniture they would like to have.

Decorative Paperweights

Here's a fun and, easy project for lazy afternoons. This is a simple and inexpensive way to add your unique decorative fingerprint to your living room or home office.

Start with a glass paperweight kit, sold at craft and hobby stores. I know in the northeast we have Michael's and A.C.Moore, both of which give up to 40% off if you request. At the checkout register, you agree to sign your name and phone number and then you get the discount.

Decorative

Now the fun part: adding your personal touch to decorate the paperweights. Insert swatches fabric such as brocade or trompe l'oeil. You could also go with tartan, plaids, polka dots, stripes, or something shimmery. The choices are virtually endless. (Some fabric stores give away fairy large swatches of very good quality for free or close to it-all you have to do is ask!)

A lovely old card can get a new life. Or try some of your favorite left over gift wrap.

Maybe you have a cherished black and white photo. Scan the picture onto imaging and photo paper instead of using the original photo.

Your kids make the best artists. If they will donate a picture to your decorating cause, great! Otherwise, head for that scanner again so you don't have to ruin the original artwork.

Once you have your finished paperweights, place them strategically throughout your home office or living room. You can also give these as unusual gifts to relatives or friends. Have fun!

Home interior decorating doesn't have to break your budget. Try this easy project for artistic home decor accents.

Wedding Church Decorations - Decorating The Wedding Church

Wedding church decorations are very traditional form of wedding decorations and should be unique so that the guests remember it for lifetime. Traditional church wedding decoration is mostly based on adding lace, pearls, crystals, beads, candles, fresh flowers and dry flowers to enhance the purity of the place. However it should be remembered that the church is a place of worship and the sanctity and purity of the atmosphere should not be disturbed.

Church wedding designs include wedding church pew decorations, aisle decorations, centerpiece decorations, and altar decorations church entry decorations, church door decorations, and church ceiling decorations.

Decorations

Decorating a church with flowers adds a sense of peace, solemnity, calm, and freshness all around. A simple and a beautiful decoration are possible with garden flowers such as daisies, tulips, and carnations. For exotic touch, decorate the aisle using orchids or lilies.

It is a great idea to decorate the altar or the aisle with matching color of the bride's bouquet as part of the wedding church decoration. Vibrant wreaths can be arranged to make a simple door more attractive and inviting. Fabric flowers or silk flowers can be used if the arrangements are done ahead of time, as they will not wilt. Even a combination of ribbons, balloons and flowers will work wonders.

Potted plants are a simple and inexpensive form of decoration that adds a great deal of volume and warmth. Even a lining up of potted plants with large flowers along the aisle will give a richer look and adds up greenery.

Pew decorations play a very important role in wedding church decoration and considered as one of the best way to make a great impact on the ceremony decor. Bouquets, tulles, and bows tied up at the end of pews go nicely with some rose petals spread down the aisle.

A high ceiling church can easily filled with an exciting spirit by a few well-planned balloon arrangements. In addition streamers, flower garland, or large bows can be tied to the doors to give that extra look. To add a special touch, place two tall topiaries by the entrance of the church.

In wedding church decoration, pomander balls make an attractive addition to any entryway, foyer, arch or chandelier. Even a mix and match of Christmas tree ornaments can be used in various styles to improve the decoration.

Keep in mind, the wedding church decoration should be elegant yet inexpensive, attractive but without spoiling the purity of the place.

How to Decorate a Boutique - What Beginners Don't Know

Boutique owners share their must-haves, must-dos and cannot-live-without decorating tricks. Why is it critical to put in some effort, time and expenses to decorate a boutique store? A boutique is defined as a "small fashionable supermarket." Most boutiques retail exclusive items, such as specialized gifts, jewelry, antiques and etc. For most of us as boutique owners, our stores feature nice clothing and fashionable accessories. As boutiques vary in their offerings, it is tough to identify explicit ideas as to decorations. However, there are selected decorating ideas that will toil in all boutiques, at any rate of theme.

Lighting

\"how To Decorate\"

The degree of lighting in your store will vary depending on the mood you desire to create. For contemporary items, you will need ample of light. For vintage, lukewarm lighting works fine. Avoid fluorescent or green- or yellow-toned lighting, especially if customers will be looking in the mirror. These are not flattering light sources.

How to Decorate Your Home For Halloween

Halloween is one of the most thrilling holidays of the year for many children as well as fun-loving adults. One of the most ultimate joys for young and old is decorating your home for Halloween. You can do it easily, by allowing your imagination lead the way and a good deal can be created within a tight budget, if needed. Pay close attention on how to decorate for the ultimate Halloween.

When you have children, you can use all those class Halloween projects. You can simply hang them about or even make a Halloween tree, similar to a Christmas or Easter tree. You can use construction paper for making jack-o-lanterns, bats, cats, witches, spiders and other ghoulish decorations to place around the house. Once they have created their paper decorations, use tape and sting to attach them for hanging.

\"how To Decorate\"

Spooky sounds are wonderful for setting the mood. You might want to purchase a Halloween CD or make your own, using a tape recorder.

Lighting is essential for setting a Halloween atmosphere. You can use candles and jack-o-lanterns, however, do be sure to practice fire safety. You can use some of those plastic Christmas candles, either using the orange bulbs, or other colored lights, you can always cover the bottom with construction paper, aluminum foil or paint them. Black lights strategically placed adds an eerie feeling.

Making a Halloween dummy is simple and fun, by using some old clothes, boots a hat and some stuffing. Pose the dummy inside or out for the trick or treating children to see, they love taking a close up peek at such Halloween decorations. You might also consider some spider webs and spiders to hang out at your home as well during Halloween.

When decorating your yard for Halloween, you might want to consider allowing the grass to grow which will add to the appearance of the house being abandoned, then gather up some old looking wooden planks write some scary names upon them and then place them around the yard as grave markers. While preparing the graves, you might like to place a bit of dirt there as well to give it more of an appearance of being a grave, some people may consider using fertilizer to do this, however, fertilizer will actually burn the grass beneath it when there it is more than the grass actually needs.

Another interesting idea, if you have enough yard space, is to plant a corn maze, when the time is right, and then allow the corn to stand in place during Halloween, when the corn should already have begun to dry out, which provides a very scary appearance, not to mention that the rustling of the dried cornstalks when the wind blows adds that extra creepy sounds while traveling through a corn maze. If you decide to plant a corn maze to use during Halloween, you might consider also planting some well placed costumed individuals to hide within the maze, to scare some of the people traveling through the maze. However, you may want to try to be too scary when entertaining children and older people, so as not to upset anyone to badly.

Another great idea for decorating your yard for a Halloween party is to set up a bonfire and perhaps an effigy or two. Imagine tossing Freddie Kruger into the fire, or perhaps Jason or Michael. It's all in fun and it is the season! Have a blast getting ready for your Ultimate Halloween.

Creative Ideas for Decorative Room Dividers

For those who have a small home, or live in a studio apartment, one of the best and easiest methods to make their home appear larger and to make more efficient use of the available space is to divide some of the larger open plan rooms. For instance you can separate the kitchen into a cooking area and a dining area. There may be other reasons for dividing a room as well, such as to direct attention to a particular area of the room, to hide clutter created by children, and to manage the light inside the room. If correctly and tastefully handled, this division will add a unique distinguishing characteristic to that house. You can make the house cozier and warm as well as elegant and classical using room dividers.

It can be done in numerous ways and number of room dividers can be used. Some of which we will list below, however you shouldn't be limited by them but should try to use your imagination creatively.

Decorative

Types of Room Dividers

Room dividers can be permanent, improvised or flexible. Which type of room dividers to use, will depend on the house owner's needs and requirements.

A half height or half width wall can be considered a permanent room divider. Such a wall will go half way across the room and half way up to the roof creating a division in the room. You should opt for a permanent divider only if you are not going to change the room arrangement in the near future. It can be used with other sorts of room dividers to completely separate the room. Such a wall combined with shelves mounted on it will give you more storage space as well. For instance you may want to divide a bedroom into a sleeping area with bed on one side and a study area on the other side. You can then put your books and other study materials on the shelves on the wall.

Shelves, cupboards, and other furniture can be used as improvised room dividers. They can be used in a similar way to a low wall to divide a bedroom or any other room. Large book shelves are commercially available for this very purpose.

You can also use large plants as improvised room dividers. Plants that can be used include palm trees, bamboos, and various crotons, among others. Using exotic, rare and expensive plants can make this kind of division extremely attractive as a decorative method. Wooden frames containing potted plants are commercially available for this purpose. You too can create similar framed pots. Wooden or metal trellis with plants and vines on them can also be used. Some of the plant pots can be hung from the roof. They will create an impression of division when correctly placed even if you can easily communicate between the two sides.

Flexible Room Dividers

Panels and screens are popular flexible room dividers. These panels can be made of various materials and can be moved in to position by sliding or folding. Using their flexibility you can gain a large degree of control over the space in the room. They can be made to match any decorative ideas you have. For instance, by using bamboo and paper screens you can give your rooms an Asian look. Bamboo or fiber glass sticks placed together can be used to create a modern looking attractive room divider screens as well.

If you have the money you can buy some antiques or pseudo antique screens made of wood to add a touch of history and age to your rooms. Using embroidered fabrics mounted on screens is another good idea. The design of the embroidery can be made to match the design of the rest of the room's wall hangings and upholstery. Since they can be taken down and replaced with other designs, available variety in decoration is endless. Screens and panels also allow you to control the amount of light that filters to each side of the partition.

Curtains are another great flexible room divider. They are easy to install. You have to install the hanging rods on the ceiling. Once installed you just have open or close the curtain to separate or unite the room. The large curtain will then become one of the main decorative items in the both parts of the room. It could set the tone for the whole room. You can vary the curtain's material, design, and color, to create that tone.

Other types of room dividers include glass dividers, which can be used to create a physical division while maintaining contact between the separate halves of the room. Glass room dividers also create an illusion of extra space by making the rooms appear larger than they are.

You can also create your own room dividers suing everyday materials. For instance using painted cardboard, pictures, or any other material, you can easily create a screen, a panel, or even a sculpture, that is attractive to look at, which can then be used as a room divider.

You can also use lamps to divide a room. Floor lamps placed strategically can do this alone or in combination with other improvised room dividers. The way the light is filtered to each side of the rooms can be used to create an impression of division as well.

Pumpkin Decorating Ideas for Halloween

Halloween is nearly here once more, and if you're like many people, you'll be making a Halloween pumpkin lantern. Carved vegetable lanterns, or Jack O'Lanterns as they're often known, are part of an ancient tradition that originated with the Celts. However the original lanterns made by the Celts in Europe were usually made from turnips, swedes or mangelwurzels. Halloween lanterns made from pumpkins only became popular relatively recently, after the Halloween holiday started to be widely celebrated in the US, where pumpkins are plentiful. They have since gained popularity elsewhere in the world too, thanks to the relative ease with which they can be carved, and the brilliant orange glow they produce when lit up.

Pumpkins are very versatile and can be carved and decorated carved in any number of ways and it's very easy to produce a lantern that will make a beautiful addition to your Halloween decorations.

\"decorating Ideas\"

There are two basic approaches you can take to decorating your pumpkin. The first is to carve a face or other design into the flesh, and the second is to paint the pumpkin's surface. You might then like to embellish it further. Of course, you can always combine these approaches, and produce a more ornate and unusual pumpkin!

Carving Your Pumpkin

Halloween pumpkins are usually carved, so they can be used as lanterns. Carving a pumpkin can be as simple as creating a couple of triangular eyes and a mouth, or, if you are feeling adventurous, you can make a more complex pumpkin lantern intricate features or other patterns, such as cats, spiders, ghosts, etc, or even non-Halloween motifs. To carve your pumpkin, cut off the top (if you're going to illuminate it with a candle) or the bottom (to provide access for an electric light cord), scrape out the flesh, draw your design onto the surface of the pumpkin, and cut around the outlines with a sharp knife or other carving tool. You might find it useful to pare the interior surface of the pumpkin back in the areas you will be cutting. Your pumpkin is then ready to be lit up.

You can either design your own pumpkin carving pattern, or you can use one of the many that are available (very often for for free) online. Pumpkincarving.com is one site that I recommend if you're looking for more ideas and inspiration.

Painting Your Pumpkin

Painted Halloween pumpkins are not as common as the carved variety, but they are becoming very popular. Painting your pumpkin gives you more flexibility than carving it, and you can create stunning painted Halloween designs that are guaranteed to get a reaction. Don't worry if you think you can't paint - you don't need to be an artist to create beautiful painted Halloween pumpkins! See my site (link in the resource box below) for details of an excellent guide to pumpkin painting, called Pumpkin Painting, Anyone Can Do It. Really! With this handy guide, you'll be producing brightly painted pumpkin masterpieces in no time! Painted pumpkins are also very popular with children, as - unlike with carved pumpkins - they can create their own pumpkin designs very safely and with minimal assistance.

Embellishing Your Pumpkin Further

If you really want to go to town, you can jazz up your carved or painted pumpkin even more. Try sticking on some glitter or sequins, or draping it with strings of sparkly beads. Just be sure not to use flammable materials.

Employ any or all of these pumpkin decorating ideas, and you'll soon have a beautifully scary Halloween pumpkin that will make a fantastic centrepiece for your home!

Decorating Christmas Cakes

When most people think of a Christmas cake, the Yule log comes to mind. The cake is often one of many desserts spread on the dinner table after a huge family meal. Lately, Christmas cakes have more often been decorated cakes, depicting a snowy scene, Santa, or a Christmas tree.

Over the past few years, cake decorating has become a widely recognized hobby and art form. Popular television shows have sparked increased interest in this art and have inspired people to take classes and start making cakes on their own instead of buying them.

Decorating

While the outside of the typical Christmas cake has evolved with the time, the same family favorites still lie on the inside of the cake. Today's cakes, while covered in buttercream or fondant, can even be flavored with mint flavoring oil for that seasonal flair.

Your cake will come out much better if you plan out the design in advance. Draw a sketch to see how it will look and to get an idea of what colors look good together. If you have time, you can practice new cake decorating techniques in advance, but when it comes to a more complicated cake, you will need time for gum paste decorations to dry. Depending on the weather, some can take up to a week to harden. This also depends on how large your gum paste figure is.

If you don't want to get too complicated, here are a few ideas that are relatively simple. You can decorate any shape cake with Christmas presents made from gum paste. Just form a cube out of different colors of gum paste. Cut up thin strips of contrasting colors to attach to these cubes. Using a little gum glue to adhere them, lay these strips on the cubes in a criss cross pattern. You can even form a small bow for the top of the presents. For a Christmas tree cake, you can either buy the tree cake pan or carve the cake out of a sheet cake. Frost it in green and decorate with small candies.

Another simple idea is to make a Christmas holly cake. The green and red holly contrasts nicely with a simple white cake. To make the holly, you will need gum paste and a holly leaf cutter. Tint some gum paste a dark green, roll it out thin and cut the holly leaves. For each grouping of holly, you'll need three leaves. Dry the leaves on crumpled aluminum foil to give them a more natural shape. Tint gum paste red and roll three pea sized balls for each holly grouping. When all the gum paste decorations are dry, spray them with confectioner's lacquer. Arrange 3 leaves together so they fan out and place the berries in the center. Attach your gum paste leaves and berries with gum glue. You can either place several leaf groupings around the edge or create the entire edge of the cake out of holly.

To create a simple wintery scene, make white chocolate snowflakes to decorate the cake. Either draw or print out pictures of snowflakes, tape them down and tape plastic wrap over them. Pipe melted white chocolate using the #4 cake decorating tip and place them in the freezer for 5 minutes. Carefully peel them off the plastic. They can either lay flat on the cake or you can stick them into the icing and make them stand up.

Traditional Russian Christmas Ornaments and Decor

Russian Christmas ornaments come in almost every shape and design imaginable; making any Yuletide décor more festive. Many Russian Christmas ornaments are made from durable plastic, but many are still hand made and hand painted in delicate wood and blown glass. Some are designed not to grace your tree but to beautify every room in your home with traditional images of the Christ child and Holy Family, keeping the true spirit of the season alive in eye-catching adornments that will become heirlooms in your family.

Ornaments popular around the world are also popular in Russia, including angels, Christmas trees, snowmen and, of course, Santa Claus. They come in many sizes and painted in every color of the rainbow. Many of the ornaments are uniquely Russian: Pieces patterned after the famous nesting dolls or "matryoshkas" or the Snow Maiden of Russian literature. The magnificent onion-shaped domes of Russian Orthodox church steeples, like Saint Basil's Cathedral in Moscow, are also popular. Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcraker" will always be the traditional performance of the season and nutcracker Christmas ornaments are a perfect reminder of that beloved classic.

Decor

Taking their cue from the fabulous Faberge Easter eggs, some Russian ornaments are eggshell shaped and painted in minute detail with Grandfather Frost, angels, rabbits and snow-covered dachas. Even a whole village might find itself hanging among the needles in miniature.

Whatever your personal preference in Christmas tree decor, a Russian ornament will add a distinctive flavor to your Christmas scene that family and friends will remember. In fact, don't be surprised if their next tree looks a lot like yours did this year!

There's something totally unique and breathtaking about a large tapestry that makes you and your guests and loved ones really take notice and enjoy the living room space.

Decorating Outside Your Home For Halloween (A Spooky Theme)

For many people the best part of Halloween is being able to decorate the outside of their home. This doesn't have to be limited to just the front yard. Decorating the backyard can create a very spooky atmosphere. You can even design a detour that will take each of your guests on a long walk that circles the backyard before leading them to the entrance. This way they get to enjoy the full benefits of your decorating efforts.

The traditional pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns make great additions when you decorate the outside of your home for Halloween. The light that these decorations give off will help your guest to see their way around and add the perfect lighting to create scary shadows that surround the other decorations. Ghost and goblins are an old favorite that can still make your guest look over their shoulder twice. Don't be afraid to get very creative with these items. Some of the newer designs are now being made inflatable to help give them an even more lifelike appearance.

Decorating

The use of a fog machine can create an illusion that can make your yard the spookiest of all. This is especially true when you litter the lawn with fake body parts and fake blood splattered all about the area. The fog just intensifies the whole spooky theme. Don't forget about a special door bell ring that alerts you of the incoming guest with screams, howling or some other unique Halloween greeting. You can even have a host that is decked out in one of the scariest costumes around to stand outside your door to personally welcome each and every one of you Halloween guest.

Add special sound effects that will begin whenever your guest walks past a certain area. You can also use props that are programmed on a timer to go off at specific intervals. Spider webs are also a great decorating idea that will help you to create a spooky outdoor theme. Make sure that you don't forget the customary black cat and maybe a witch or two sitting in the trees watching the guest wondering by. It's just not Halloween without a few traditional items.
