  • 10 Common Decorating Mistakes to Avoid - Are you guilty of any of these decorating blunders? HGTV designer Karl Lohnes and leading custom window fashions manufacturer Hunter Douglas have put together a top-ten list of the all-time most often made decorating mistakes.
  • Accessorize With Framed Photos - Matt and I have decorated hundreds of rooms and have found that it is the accessories, or the stuff, as Matt calls them, which put the finishing touches on a room. Accessories add personality to a room, helping to make the room a reflection of its owner. Matt and I have found that photographs are the perfect accessory to create that personal touch.
  • Beyond Paint: Decorating Walls With Stencils - Painting walls in various colors is a quick and easy way to decorate any room in your home. But when you're looking for something a bit more artistic and unique, you might try your hand at stenciling.
  • Brush on a New Look for Your Home this Spring - Welcome Spring into your home by brightening your rooms with a fresh coat of paint. Do-it-yourself diva Barbara K says painting is a relatively easy and quick way of breathing new life into a room. But she says the key to achieving a professional look is preparation.
  • Framed Angel Pictures - Frame beautiful Angel prints to accent your home. These prints can be found in art books and on calendars, posters, greeting cards and postcards. If you use an angel that's part of a larger picture, decide how you want to crop the picture before cutting it.
  • Handmade Quilts: Not Just for Bed! - The art of quilting has been part of American history for more than a century. Regardless of the climate where you live, you can enjoy quilts in your home year round.
  • How to Choose a Paint Color - Do you have furniture that doesn't seem to go with the rest of your house? Try a fresh coat of paint before you change your living room's decor. So you're cringing right now at the thought of painting your living room. You're not alone.
  • Inexpensive Kitchen Wall Decorating Ideas - Add splash to your kitchen walls without breaking your budget with these inexpensive and unique ideas. Your walls cover a lot of space in the kitchen and you can give it a little redo on a tight budget by being a little bit creative. Whether you have a special theme in mind or just updating your look, these ideas below might be able to get you started.
  • Make a Window Valance to Welcome Spring - Since I love to throw open the windows to feel fresh spring breezes, I think spring is the perfect time to change out heavy curtains and draperies for simple window toppers. Over the years I've discovered many toppers that, while simple to create, can add color and interest to your decor.
  • Making A Mantle the Focal Point of a Room - Mantles don't have to be fancy to become a focal point. In fact, simple mantles work well with most decorating schemes. With appropriate accessories, a simple mantle can complement contemporary, Victorian, or country decor.
  • Nice Nooks - Moving into a new house is always exciting! An older house, though, already has a history and cozy details within that say 'home' even before moving the furniture in. With foresight, this kind of character can be planned into a new house or a remodeling project.
  • Ribbon Flower Frame - While this craft is too intricate for little fingers, it makes a great gift for a grown up to make for a little girl in their life.
  • Springtime Straw Hat - Need a lovely new Spring hat for Mother's Day? How about hanging this pretty straw hat on your porch for all to see? Simple instructions make this a fun and relatively quick afternoon craft project!
  • The Nook Look - It is possible to create the look of a nook within the home without remodeling. The nice niche, then, offers a place to display a beloved collection, heirloom antiques, or family photos.
  • Unique Window Treatments from Everyday Objects - If you are looking for something a little more unique than a curtain rod to hang your window treatments, there are several everyday household items you can use instead. To make your own wonderful and unusual window hardware, here are some great ideas:
  • Window Treatment Dilemmas - I have a problem that I have been trying to figure out what to do with a kitchen window. The problem is that the house is terribly old and the window is a new double pane slider window.
