I love dinnerware from Corelle. Lightweight, durable*, and the designs are beautiful.

there're these really really cool poser coat racks..it's like a bunch of pieces of iron crisscrossed or shaped together..in like a huge diamond or square or circle..basically REALLY elegant and some are so huge, they could cover 1/4th of your wall..real intricate designs too.. anyway you can hang stuff on it without looking tacky

i have noooo freaking idea what theyre called..but they look really nice by themselves..it's like a mehendi design on your wall or something.. but then you can hang stuff on it.

I like rooms that have little artistic personal touches

this is taking color too far ( unless your living in the carribean)

I really like those rooms. And about the platform, I think it would be nice for that to go slowly moving around 360 degrees.

House Decorating Do's and Dont's

1.) dont paint a room a dark color, if the room has a small window/ one window/ and gets little light.

It makes your room look smaller and dark.




big window = lots of light = dark color ok






More Do's and Dont's to be continued

I like accent walls instead of painting the whole room the same color. Neutral rooms with a few pops of color look well balanced.
