Do you like what you have but dont like your room? Heres the solution: pull your rooms together so they look finished and professionally decorated by following these techniques to add the wow to your rooms! (Ive used them in hundreds of homes!).

1. Paint the walls and ceiling a rich, warm neutral color or one of the colors in your rooms fabrics. Your furnishings will immediately look more at home. I call it marrying your architecture to your furnishings.

2. Next, move your seating away from the walls and group it around a fireplace, a view window or any logical focal point.

3. Now, add a generous area rug to accent and unify your entire seating area.

4. Fill any empty looking corners with large plants and soft up-lights. Add a decorative, folding screen for a fuller look.

5. Place your lamps to evenly and softly light your seating area. Use additional lighting to accent your artwork, collections and accessories.

6. Create a focal point on the coffee table by elevating one of your favorite accessories on a stack of several books (sans covers). This will give your treasure more presence. Then add a low, full green plant or a blooming orchid and a couple of large, glowing candles. If you like a fuller look, use a decorative tray or runner underneath.

7. Lastly, be sure to decorate the top half of your room (from the furniture up), with tall plants, window treatments, artwork and that wall color. The room will feel considerably larger, more interesting and most importantly finished!

These few changes will make all the difference so you can start enjoying living in a beautiful home!

I recently purchased two of these sets and absolutely love them. I personally have no problem with the "smell". It is not strong at all and goes away quickly. I have them lined up at the foot of my bed. The chocolate color is really pretty! I highly recommend these ottomans!

As with many reviews, I was pleased with this item. Unfortunately I am one of the unlucky ones that have the bad smell. After a week and a runny nose, I have put it outside to "air out". I think it might be the chemicals used in the tanning process.

After reading everyone’s review and preparing myself for the "awful" smell of this ottoman, I was pleasantly surprised to have no smell. I mean, I live in Hawaii so all the houses are opened up so the smell may not linger as long. I did put a dryer sheet in the ottoman for a few days just to rid any smell that might get in the blankets I stuffed in it. You can tell the product isn’t top quality leather but for this price I am excited to have gotten it. I also have a 18month old son who loves the "baby" ottoman. The smaller ottoman is very little, small enough for my son to carry around, but it still a great buy. I’ve already recommended this to a few friends!

I’d looked high and low for a decent 2 piece ottoman set for my computer/gaming room. I had actually seen this very same set at a few retail stores for nearly double the costs.

After testing it, trying it out, moving it about, and putting some fair weight on it I can say that it’s pretty damned high quality craftsmenship.

This little handy duo is going to work great for me. The smaller for my feet, the larger for storage and a side table. Great deal.

an excellent buy at the price. I’ve seen some ottomans of a similar style for more than twice the price and I can see why that is - the build quality is better in the higher priced units. But seriously, these ottomans are damn good value and look the part - I’ll take 80% of the quality for less than 50% of the price. Mine were delivered quickly, and didn’t have any funny smell.

Waterbeds are a very popular bedroom option because they provide such a gorgeous sleep and total rest for the entire slumber. Waterbeds are a revolution in sleeping because as soon as you lie on a waterbed you will notice a big difference from your normal bed. A waterbed feels a lot different from your traditional inner spring mattress style bed.

In any event though, the waterbeds of today are not the wavy, sea sick style waterbeds that you might perceive them as. Waterbeds have changed for the better and are now a very popular bedding option. Today’s waterbed is totally comfortable and completely shapes your body - structure and size - so that you get the optimum slumber. When you lie on a new modern day waterbed you will find it to be so comfortable that you will not want to move. It quite simply is far more luxurious than a standard inner spring bed.

With the recent manufacture of “wave less” waterbeds in the bedding industry, people who take the bold step of purchasing a waterbed are now receiving a far improved level of sleep allowing them to have more energy and improved health on a daily basis. Bedding manufacturers have responded to the changing demands of consumers and their feedback has changed bedding options forever. Nights of tossing and turning are long gone. You should note that when you own a waterbed there is some maintenance that is required. However, once you have had a good nights sleep in the waterbed, you won’t give the maintenance a second thought.

There are a wide variety of parts and supplies that you can find over the Internet for your waterbed. When buying them over the Internet you can also generally find them at better then retail prices. Bedding stores online offer items such as waterbed heaters, drain fill kits, frames and headboards. Many of the parts and supplies that are available from online bedding supply stores can also be very useful to you, especially if you intend to install and maintain the waterbed yourself without professional assistance. But apart from the maintenance perspective you can also have fun decorating your waterbed to match in with you bedroom decor. You can purchase any number of quilts, throw cushions and towels from these specialty bedding suppliers.

If you take care of your waterbed and conduct regular maintenance on it then your waterbed will be able to serve you for many years to come. The waterbed parts and supplies that you can purchase will assist you in doing this - ensuring years of sound sleeping.
