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!

This is a nice piece of funiture. It doesn’t say in the description but the cover doesn’t come with it. That wasn’t a problem with me though. One of the holes was drilled in the wrong place on a back slat, also not a problem for me might be for someone though. Very easy to put together and takes stain nice. Very comfey too.

If you are contemplating a home renovation project that involves drywall taping then there is something that you need to be aware of and pay strict attention to.

The compound used to cover drywall joints creates a very fine and highly abrasive dust when dry and then sanded. Have you ever seen a professional drywall taper using a power sander? I doubt it. If you use a power sander to level drywall compound the dust will definitely find its way into the motor windings and bearings and you can write the tool off in a matter of minutes.

Not using power tools to sand drywall compound may seem obvious, but there are other motors in your home that can also be affected by the drywall compound dust.

If you have a central air furnace or air conditioning system the dust will be sucked into the return air vents and although a lot of the dust will get trapped in the filter a portion will make it through the filter to the fan motor and the bearings on any pulleys that may be within the system. Other motors or bearings that can be easily affected are located in bathroom and kitchen exhaust fans.

In the case of central air conditioning systems the dust will land on the coils and be washed down into the condensation drain lines where it will solidify and eventually block the free flow of the water.

Window air conditioners will draw the dust through the exhaust portion of the unit and clog filters and damage motors and bearings.

Using a home vacuum rather than an industrial vac to clean up the drywall compound dust will damage any of the moving parts and the motor.

If drywall compound dust lands on fine furniture or hardwood floors be extremely cautious in the methods that you use to clean up as the dust will leave scratch marks on lacquer or polyurethane finishes. The same situation applies to products made from acrylics such as bathtubs and bathtub and shower enclosures.

Last, but by no means least, you should always wear a dust mask and goggles when sanding drywall compound.
