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!

Over time, families and incomes grow. The home that you originally purchased may lack the space and features that you now require. If you are happy with the location, you must decide on whether it is more advantageous to remodel your current home or buy a new one in order to increase space and add the features that you desire.

Many people make the decision based on emotion rather than facts. If you are in a situation as previously described you should at a minimum consider the following:

• Return On Investment: Look at the homes on your street and in your neighborhood. Are they all a similar size to your current home? If they are, you may not obtain a return on your investment by adding an addition, if your home becomes the most expensive one in the neighborhood. If however, you currently have a home that is smaller than the average, it may be highly advantageous from an investment standpoint to add an addition.
• Architecture: Does your lot allow space for an addition or would it mean adding a second floor? Would an addition eliminate your outdoor space? Would the finished home be architecturally pleasing or a neighborhood eye sore? If you can visualize the addition and wish to proceed on it would be wise to call in a professional architect to provide expertise on what potentially can and cannot be done. An architect will also be able to advise what is feasible based on the current building codes for your municipality.
• Budget: The architect should be able to advise you on a rough budget based on your requirements and location. Construction costs vary from municipality to municipality, however if you are adding open living space, not including kitchens or bathrooms a good minimum number is $150 a square foot. Kitchens and bathrooms can easily double that number. Of course, adding upscale products such as oak trim and marble flooring will increase the costs. You will not be able to obtain firm quotations from contractors until you have a detailed set of plans. Always add an additional 10 percent to any rough estimates as remodels generally exceed their initial budget.
• Sweat Equity: A remodel does allow you to invest some sweat equity into your home. Portions of the remodel, depending on an individual’s capabilities, can be done by the homeowner. Painting, wallpaper, hanging light fixtures, widow coverings, landscaping, gardening and alike are items that the homeowner can easily do. If you decide to move it is highly likely that you will end up doing a lot of those items at your new home.
• Inconvenience: A major remodel, especially if it involves bathrooms and kitchens can be a major inconvenience to your life, for a period. Workman traipsing through your home, noise, dust, dirt, and loss of utilities for periods of time are all part of the experience of a remodel. Always remember that moving is also filled with inconveniences including packing, new schools, utilities, insurance and that is not to mention the loss of your children’s friends and your neighbors.

Although many people recommend that you discuss a potential remodel with a real estate agent as to the investment versus buying another home, in my opinion this is a mistake. Real estate agents only make money when people buy and sell homes, they obtain no benefit, in any manner if you remodel. From personal experience, they will always suggest that buying another home is the better investment - it is from their standpoint!

As with most home projects, planning is the key to success!

Growing lotus in the water garden is no feat of magic. This plant is remarkably easy to grow if you give it full sun and very damp soils.

The trick is in establishing and planting them properly. There is a sharp growing pointed end and this must be well-protected in transport as bruising or damaging this growing tip spells certain death for the tender transplant. The root should be laid on the slight indentation on the soil surface and the middle of the root covered over with approximately an inch of soil. Do not cover the ends of the roots. They want to be above the soil line at this point in their lives.

Once in the pot, this pot should be put so that 4 to 6 inches of water cover the root. Once the leaves have started being produced and the water warms up to at least 70F, the pot can be lowered another few inches to 6-8 inches below the waterline. This is the recommended depth for growing lotus successfully.

Lastly, the lotus plant is a river edge plant and wants to be in the full hot sun. It will not grow very well in shady gardens. You can get articles on starting lotus from seed, lotus varieties and overwintering the lotus plant from this page of lotus articles.

Think of all the adhesives on the market today. There are so many adhesives that it is almost mind-boggling. This article will deal with adhesives used for scrap booking purposes.

There are different adhesives for scrap booking depending on what you need to adhere and what you need to adhere it to. One of the main things to remember is to use adhesives that are archival. Adhesives that are archival are safe for all your scrap booking.

You may want to have several kinds of adhesives available when you are working on your scrapbook. Not all adhesives are appropriate for all jobs.

When you are working with photos you may want to use a photo glue stick. This is a different kind of adhesive than a regular glue stick. A photo glue stick is made especially for photos and will not damage your photos. There are also photo corners that will work when you want to adhere your photos to a scrap booking page.

There are adhesive dispensers that are perfect for scrap booking. These adhesive dispensers dispense adhesive squares, lines or dots. You can find an adhesive dispenser for any type of scrapbook need.

Vellum is a type of paper that is rather tricky when it comes to adhesives. Because vellum can be seen through you need to be careful when you glue it to something. If you do not use the proper adhesive you will be able to see the adhesive through the vellum and this is not attractive. Look for an adhesive made just for use with vellum and you will be able to use this specialty paper with ease and the final product will look lovely, too.

If you want to add dimension to a page you can use pop-dots or tape. This adhesive comes in various sizes and shapes and is thicker than regular adhesives. When you use pop-dots you can add buttons or other embellishments and they will stand out on your page. This is a great way to add interest to your scrapbooks.

There are also liquid adhesives and pastes that work for specific scrapbooks needs. When you are gluing paper to paper you will want a different adhesive than when you are adhering metal to paper.

At times you may need a hot glue type of adhesive. This kind of adhesive is usually in stick form and fits into a glue gun. Hot glue is good when you want to add ribbon or other fibers to your scrapbook.

As you can see there are many adhesives that you may need when you are interested in scrap booking.
