"I'M DECORATING AS FAST AS I CAN"

CHOOSE A SPA STYLE FOR YOUR BATHROOM
CONTEMPORARY FEEL:

CHOSE ULTRA MODERN FIXTURES, ANGULAR TOILETS AND SINKS.
WHITE IS THE BEST BET.




CONSIDER LUCITE OR GLASS BLOCKS FOR A SHOWER WALL; IT MAKES DRAMATIC, LIGHT TRANSMITTING WALL.
LIMIT ACCESSORIES TO AVOID THE CLUTTERED FEELING.









COTTAGE:
THIS STYLE IS INFORMAL, PERSONAL, AND COMFY.
PEDESTAL SINKS OR BEACH WORTHY VANITIES ARE THE WAY TO GO.





INTERESTING HOOKS PLACED HIGH ON A WALL GIVES A COTTAGE EFFECT.
WAINSCOTING SPEAKS "COTTAGE'.







INTERESTING HOOKS PLACED HIGH ON A WALL GIVES A COTTAGE

VICTORIAN:
*
WHEN BUYING CANDLES, THINK OF BUYING SOY OR BEESWAX. PARAFFIN, A BY PRODUCT OF PETROLEUM RELEASES SOOT WHEN BURNING.
* USE DOORMATS IN AND OUTSIDE YOUR DOORS TO TRAP DIRT AND PESTICIDES FROM TRACKING THROUGH YOUR HOUSE.
* AIR OUT NEW CARPETS OUTDOORS ONANICE DAYS; THEY RELEASE IRRITATING CHEMICALS AND AIRING THEM FOR A DAY CAN HELP ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE ALLERGIES.
* FOR CREATING INSTANT EXCITEMENT, HERE ARE SOME ITEMS TO SPARK "WOW" APPEAL:
I) CHANDELIERS
II) PRIMITIVE BOXES
III) VINTAGE BOOKS





IV) LACE &L1NENS
V) BUTTONS
VI) WIRE
VII) WIRE BASKETS VIII)VINTAGE PHOTOGRAPHS
IX) CRACKED MIRRORS
X) METAL SIGNS
XI) METAL FROGS
XII) CLOCKS





XIII) VINTAGE PRINTS XIV) IRONSTONE

XV) SEASHELLS






XVI) POTTERY
XVII) GARDEN TOOLS XVIII) GARDEN TRELLISES
XIX) IRON TABLES, PLANT STANDS
XX) FRAMES
XXI) CABINET HARDWARE XXII) MARBLES
XXIII) VINTAGE FABRIC
XXIV) COLLECTIONS: DOORKNOBS, KEYS.
* IN MOST HOMES A FULL LENGTH COUCH IS UNNECESSARY. SELECTING A LOVESEAT AND TWO CHAIRS MAXIMIZES FLOOR SPACE.

CHOOSE THREE OR MORE WALLCOVERING PATTERNS, SEPARATE THEM
WITH PAINTED MOLDING & DON’T FORGET THE CEILINGS

AN ANTIQUE CHEST OR WICKER SHELVES FOR STORAGE OR DECORATIVE DISPLAYS.






AN UPHOLSTERED HEADBOARD MAKES AN EXTRA COMFORTABLE PLACE TO SIT & READ
