Decorating Advice and Paint Colors

I knew that Vera Wang designed wedding dresses, but I had no idea that she also had a line for the home. This line of china is very Vera Wang, it is simple & yet embellished at the same time. It’s not a huge expense & would make a perfect wedding gift, or even use it as your wedding china. I think it’s worth the price since it is Wedgewood china. I have no idea when I am getting married & probably won’t be able to afford one of her dresses. However, it’s worth it just to be able to say you own a Vera Wang.

Like everything else in life, selling your house can be confusing. It’s a big decision, & doing it incorrectly can give you a lot of stress & make you lose a lot of money. I learned about something new today called flat fee mls which is the middle ground between selling your house by yourself & having a realtor. You will cut your agent fees in half, & you will have to do some of the marketing yourself, but you will probably save a lot of money. There was recently an article in the New York Times about how realtors are an endangered species. It make sense, people put a lot of money & time into their home, & they don’t want to have to give a substantial portions of that to a realtor. Going it alone can also be scary. This is the best of both worlds.

I know some websites will tell you 1,000,000 uses for baby oil.  I only have one, but it’s a good one. It really is the household product that can do anything.  I was amazed when I was staining some cabinets & baby oil got the stains off of my hands & off everything else that had stain on it that shouldn’t.  It’s much less abrasive then turpentine, in fact I don’t even know why people use turpentine if baby oil will work just as well.

I always wonder what will be our generations orange flowered velvet couch.  You know the couches that everyone seems to have now, that we all just wonder why would anyone buy that?  So in an attempt to have a more classic home that won’t be outdated in a few years, which will save me a lot of money I want to identify what people will still think is great years from now & what people will be questioning our shopping savy over. There is so much to mock, I mean err critique, that I’m turning this into a series that I haven’t named yet.  Maybe I will name it the "series without a name".  Anyways, any thoughts on to what you think will be outdated in a few years, I would love to know.
