Summer Cool Decor and Storage

As we approach warmer temps this summer, all the winter blankets are tucked away and the lighter linens are brought out.

A great way to store winter large quilts and comforters is with the collapseable bags, that you can vacuum all the air out. Storage is made easy with these, they collapse flat and you are able to store more than just one or two in a small space.

These bags save on space, so you may be able to tuck your quilts and such under your bed. Remember its air tight so no bugs will be in there. You may want to fold a "Bounce" dryer sheet with your quilts for a nice smell when you open your bag in the fall.

When you bring out your lighter linens you may want to add cotton or light pillows to your bedding. These are great to prop yourself up with while reading and are cooler than the heavier ones.

Another idea for summer is...get some shear drapes and hang them over your heavier curtains. When you what fresh air open your heavier drapes and let the shears distort views, so others cannot make out whats in your room and let the fresh air in!

An Article about Simple Decor for the Home

Hello!

We wish to share an article about simple home decor. We are sure you'll find it interesting.

Simple Home Decor Items Can Improve a Room By Michele Rogers

By adding several new items to a room, you can change its look and liven it up. We look at our living rooms on a day to day basis and we always feel they need spritzing up. Well in this you will find a few items can make a room stand out.

You do not have to change your entire room to make a new statement. By taking a wall candle holder or a wrought iron designed one for a wall, you can easily change the look of a room.

With today’s retailers they have plenty of wall items that are wrought iron. There is no design other than the shapes they are in. These will fit in with most any décor you have. As stated if you purchase one that you can put on your wall that has the candles in it, it would be the best.

If you wish others to notice your new piece of art then place your new décor item in a spot where they will notice it when they first walk in. If you place it in an entry way then you may want to add a small high table just under it. You do not have to put much on this little table, you can simply put another plain candle or you can put a simple flower. By adding something to your table that is big and bulky, you will find it takes away from your new home décor item.

By placing a new item in a room you have made a statement and have improved on your home décor. By adding small items or items that do not clash with your other home décor you will find you can add a lot.
