I remember the good old days when I could just leave my door unlocked at night & be safe. Actually, I don’t. Those days were before my time. However, I remember the days when my parents had to worry about things like that. Now it’s my turn, & sometimes I don’t know quite where to start. I put a lot of work into my home, making it mine. Putting things in it that I love & have worked hard to earn, or that I’ve added a personal touch to. The same goes for most people’s businesses. It makes sense that we want to protect these things from theft & damage. There is one company that can help you whether you are looking for a residential alarm system, or a Commercial Security System. Sentinel Security Systems can install, service & monitor your security system. Protect what you have.
I have another decorating blog, where I just posted about my bedroom redo for under $50. It was a lot of work, the decorating, not the blog. Well, the blog was a lot of work too, but I think that we are losing our focus here, & by we I mean me. Anyways, I’ve been living with the room for two months now & I still love everything about it. It’s so soothing to have a nice calm space where I can just come to relax. It’s the only room t hat I’ve ever had that still wows me after several months. It’s my happy place.
I live in Utah, which is technically desert, but you wouldn’t always know that because of all the green lawns that are around. I personally like the idea of Artificial grass, because it doesn’t take any water, & there is no pollution from running a lawn mower. Plus there is the added benefit that I don’t have to run the lawnmower, which is a huge plus. The only downside is that it doesn’t feel the way that natural grass does underneath your feet, but it looks fine. Artificial grass has come a long way since the astro turf era. It really does look like real grass, oftentimes even better because there aren’t any dead spots. It’s a small price to pay for helping out on that whole global warming issue, which I think we all need to start taking little steps to alleviating a big problem. I think that we haven’t done anything because it is just too daunting, but I think if we all started doing something it would make a big difference.
I love a fireplace, I think every house should have at least one. However, they can be a hassle, with all the hauling of wood, & the cleaning up, & of course the safety issues. I tried to light a fire once when the power was out in our wood stove. I just couldn’t make it happen, it took me two hours & ended up with a houseful of smoke, & no fire. I was so frustrated, I was practically yelling at the fireplace “I have a college education I can do this”. This had me thinking, there has to be an easier way, which is why I want to get portable heaters or at least a gas log which will take care a lot of my problems with the fireplace & be safer. This way I’ll still be able to use the fireplace, with a lot less hassle.
