If I was braver I would definitely go with a Moroccan room. Instead, I’d probably end up with more of a global inspired look. I’ll skip the dark paint colors and the obvious accessories. I’ll just use a few simple lanterns and rugs. If I had my own home though I would use a deeper eggplant color. What decorating style would you tackle if you were braver?

Design Trend: Sheepskin
Probably the biggest home decor trend for flooring for the last few years has been sheepskin rugs. They add modern style to any room. However, when I looked through the Comfy Sheepskin site I realized that there are many more ways to use this material in a variety of sheepskin products .
This isn’t just for home decor. There are custom sheepskin seat covers. I would love to try these in my car because the upholstery is stained and it’s not that comfortable either. New seat covers would definitely fix that. It takes a few days for these pieces to be made so it will fit your bucket seats exactly. I also didn’t know that there were so many color options available. Usually I just see it in white. I guess when a material becomes popular there are always innovators out there finding new ways to use it.

What to Look for in a Home
I watch tons of house buying shows. There’s a different approach that both professional and homebuyers take. When someone is buying a home they worry about the color schemes and the layout. When someone is purchasing the home to flip or remodel they focus mostly on the outside. It’s the first time I’ve seen someone buy a home based off of its windows and doors. However, they probably understood what a selling feature this can be and also how it would affect their carrying costs. If you ever lived with a single paned window in Utah like I have then you know how on cold mornings you can put your hand against it and literally feel the cold coming in.
You can get several different types of quotes from the site All Double Glazing just by using a simple series of drop down menus to find the double glazing cost. This includes quotes for doors, windows, double glazing, and conservatories. If you think that it’s too expensive then there are also articles about getting a grant for it. There’s also info about dealing with high pressure sales people. It helps you to get the knowledge you need to look at both home buying and home renovation from a more professional and less emotional standpoint so you don’t regret your purchase.

As Seen on Friends
I’m amazed when I watch the show Friends how many things are still in style even though the show has been off the air for such a long time. Tangerine is the big color for this decorating season as is retro style, tufted furniture, and even velvet. Guess what famous coffee house couch has all of these features? I guess everything old is new again.

Alexis Rory Pics
When I saw this beautiful collection on Polyvore I knew I had to post it. Wherever she goes or whatever she does Alexis will always be Rory to me. She looks like an angel in this color.
