Home Decor Gift...

Framed Friendship Poem is a lovely Home decor gift. An Inspirational Friendship poem like, “Angels Are Friends” makes a wonderful gift for a special friend! The first verse of this poem reads “Angels are all around me, Some I cannot see. Always near or by my side, Gently helping to be my guide.” The poem goes on like that to end with the last line reading “No need for wings, my ‘Angels’ Are Friends.” Expressing a friend as an angel with out wings is to show true appreciation. Sometimes, saying “Thank You” is not enough to express your gratitude. At times, most of us find it difficult to find the right words to show our appreciation. So giving a gift is another form of appreciation and the poem in that will express the appreciation in words. My inspiration in suggesting this lovely Home decor gift came from my Dear Friend Isabel!

A table lamp will also make a great Home decor gift. There are many exquisitely designed table lamps at incredibly low prices. Some of these lamps are inspired by treasured antique Tiffany lamps. The sculpted base and stained glass shade of a table lamp lend warm light and a graceful glow to your home. This table lamp comes with a metal base with glass shade. It uses one 60 watt bulb and is 14 inches diameter by 20 inches high.

Another Home decor gift is an item for the garden. Garden decor gifts like garden decorations, garden statues, planters, garden accessories, garden gnomes, garden fairies and garden sculptures make wonderful gifts. Something for everyone to decorate their yards, driveway entrances, and doorways with eye catching garden sculptures.

The ideal place to find Home decor gift is to go online. The internet is a great source of encouragement to find exactly what you want and at the price you want. So when you are looking for a Home decor gift first try the online stores. You are always bound to find the right gift

Let your Personality Color your Home Decor...

Setting out to decorate a new home or redecorating your current abode without a plan can be like driving around an unfamiliar city without a map—you may end up somewhere, but it’s probably not where you wanted go and you may have no idea how you got there. And you may just end up somewhere pretty ugly. Formulating a plan, however, can be a difficult task. Thumbing through home and furniture magazines often just leads to little more than an increased risk of paper cuts, and watching the countless home decorating “reality” shows, while sometimes entertaining, rarely results in an epiphanous (no, its not a word) moment. Actually, according to dictionary.com, it is a word, so take your red squiggly underline and shove it, Microsoft. Anyways…oh yeah, having a plan. This plan I speak of, doesn’t have to be a 10-page manifesto or even a loose outline, in fact, it doesn’t really have to be put in writing. I say, let your personality be your guide.

As hokey and simple as that may sound, it works. Too many people decorate their homes to please or impress others. Unless you’re a close friend or relative or Martha Stewart, this is just ridiculous (I‘ve heard she can be a little harsh). Remember, you live in your home, not them. Let your home be a reflection of yourself by choosing colors, furniture, and accessories that show your personality, as deranged and anti-social as that may be.

Many people with bright, vivacious personalities like bright, vivacious colors. Go figure. But these gregarious individuals often temper this when it comes to decorating their homes. You don’t have to make your home look like Rainbow Brite (for those not in the know, she’s a brightly colored 80’s cartoon character) threw up all over the place to inject your personality. Pick a few colors and stick to them. As with most decorating schemes, bright colors work well when set against light, muted ones, like shades of white or beige. Paint your walls these muted colors and then go crazy adorning them with brightly colored artwork and accessories. Same thing goes for furniture. Back away from the teal couch and the orange upholstered chair. Look for boring colors and then add your personality in the form of pillows and throw blankets. If these tips still don’t allow you to fully express how wild and crazy you are, experiment with your bedroom decor. You’ll offend less people that way.

On the other side of the coin we have the more straight-laced, conservative types. Bright colors give these people headaches, as do the aforementioned people who like bright colors. But what these plodding individuals lack in personality they more than make up for with grace and sophistication, and this should come through in their home decor. Whether your style preference is contemporary, traditional, or somewhere in the middle, you can create a look that personifies you and at the same time is decidedly un-boring. Furniture and lighting isn’t the difference-maker here, it’s the accessories and decorations you should focus on. Artwork and other embellishments such as plants, knick-knacks on shelves, and framed photos can breathe life into rooms with less color. And speaking of color, you can still make a statement without fuchsia walls or a red leather sofa. The trick is to mix in lights and darks to create contrasts wherever you can. Use black and charcoal against whites and light grays or experiment with the many shades of brown, from light tans to deep, dark chocolate brown.

Country home decor is indeed a delight to own. It brings nostalgic memories of the golden past for many old people. It brings to memory the good times they had as school children and how slow the time passed during that era. Unlike the rat race of today, people took things very lightly. There was little or no violence. Moral values were upheld. People valued their culture and lived contended lives. Divorce was abhorred while marriages lasted for many years. Couples celebrating their silver wedding anniversaries and even golden wedding anniversaries were common. Today couples celebrating their first wedding anniversary are becoming scarce. Love was accepted as a give and take. It was never demanding as today. The young respected the elders. The elders loved the young and were role models.
