The Free Neighborhood Home D?cor Makeover
Watching home makeover shows can make us all yearn for spiffy new d?cor in our outdated rooms. But if Trading Spaces doesn't call, and your budget only has room for a can of spray paint from the dollar store, what do you do? You get together with your neighbors and exchange free makeovers! Free? Yes, free! Updated your room doesn't have to cost money! In fact, its more fun if you have to use your imagination instead of your checkbook! So if you find a neighbor who is crazy...no, creative enough to trade rooms, it is best to set some rules ahead of time:
- Decide on a time limit. I suggest an afternoon (ending at 5pm) to encourage quick and cheap redecorating. Remember, more time equals more money and -depending on your neighbor's home d?cor taste - more damage that can be done!
- To encourage creativity, agree to spend no money on the redecoration. Enlist the whole family in "scavenging" for home d?cor ? leftover paint, old mirrors and frames, discarded furniture and artwork, pillows, old sheets and fabric remnants.
- Promise speak to each other after the rooms are done! No recriminations and no retaliations! Take the changes in the spirit of fun!
- Promise to do nothing to the rooms that cannot be undone quickly and inexpensively. No knocking out walls allowed!
- Finally, only trade rooms. No trading husbands or kids!
Bar Stools
Bar stools serve their purpose in commercial bars, restaurants and game rooms, as well as kitchens and home bars. They are often referred to as counter stools and more households are adding them to the
d?cor every day.
Bar stools come in various styles, shapes, materials, sizes, fabrics and prices. Before purchasing a bar stool, it is important to know exactly why is it required, where is it going to be kept, who is going to use it most often, how often it will be used and what is the budget. If the answers to these questions are clear, then the selection of the right bar stool becomes very easy.
First decide if the bar stool is meant for the kitchen, outdoors, bar or game room, then can decide how many are needed and of what durability.
When buying bar stools for outdoors, avoid the wooded variety, since they won't last when exposed to the elements. The size and comfort can be decided when it is known who is going to use them and where...

A Good Bedroom Closet Design Will Eliminate the Need For Space
You can transform a bedroom closet design quickly, easily, and inexpensively by installing a modular closet system. There are many competing storage systems and products, so take a look at several systems before deciding.
There are two main types of do-it-yourself systems; those made of ventilation coated-wire components, and those made of solid particleboard components with a high pressure-plastic laminate.
Mixing solid-wood components with wire shelves and rod makes sense some cases, for instance?there are some items they want to look at and other they would like to store.
If you plan a system carefully, you can double the amount of storage area available.
It's a good idea to have a few hooks but not too many or your closet will look messy.
Slide-out drawers may not be worth the cost; simple and cheap shelving usually work just as well.
In addition to the usual bedroom closet design, think about under-the...

Store Your Outdoor Furnishings to Make Them Last
In many parts of North America, the end of "porch season" has arrived. Whether you're clearing out for some oncoming bad weather, closing up the cottage for the season, beating the vandals on devil's night, or just retreating to your nest for the winter, you'll want to store away all of your outdoor items with maximum care. Dirt particles can settle deep into fabric and wood fibers and making tiny cuts that hasten their deterioration. Untreated soiled spots can become irremovable stains. Moisture can breed mold, mildew and rot.
Rust will spread, eating through metal. So proper storage will not only make your spring set-up more pleasant, it will prolong the life of your furnishings and d?cor. The first step is to clean and dry all pieces.
- Remove any loose dirt and dust from all pieces. For cushions and wicker furniture, use a vacuum or a soft-bristle brush.
Then attack any specific problems.
- If there are mildew spots from a humid summer, remove them with a bleach...
