Whether you’re having a complete top-to-bottom remodel or just making a few changes to alter the atmosphere, there is a lot to consider when it comes to home decor improvement. Luckily, technology is on our side.
Forget Cocktails, Have Cake for St. Paddy’s Day
It’s St. Patrick’s Day and I’m not in college anymore. When I was a poor college student, drinking a Guinness instead of eating dinner sounded like a great idea. These days I’d rather eat my vegetables and go to bed early, so drinking whiskey and green beer all day sounds more like torture than a good time.
Eco Options for Everyone
Never before has being environmentally friendly been so trendy. While some people worry that this means it may fall “out of style,” I think it’s a good thing. The more popular this trend grows, the more companies and manufacturers will make an effort to provide eco options for their customers.
The Perfect Match: You & Your Kitchen Sink
It wasn’t until I started cooking regularly that I realized I had been taking my kitchen sink for granted. Previously, my only bonding time with the kitchen sink had been living in an apartment with no dishwasher (never again). Now that I had decided to eat more than instant ramen noodles and anything microwavable, I had discovered the delicate balance between the chef and the kitchen sink. Suddenly I had more than just flatware and cereal bowls to pile into my twin-sided stainless steel tub. Muffin tins, cutting boards, blender tops, crock pots, wine glasses – my dirty dishes are varied and my sink is too small!
Old Doors Open New Option
Call me a hippie, but I love “up-cycling.” The idea takes recycling to the next level, literally turning trash into treasure. I’ve seen entire gardens made from 2-liter bottles, pet beds made from old computers and surprising new uses for wine corks. One of my favorite ideas was a coffee table one blogger created from a secondhand door. She kept the knicks, scratches and old-fashioned hardware the door came with to create a table with lots of character.
