Today's Staging Tip: Using Lamps with Similar Size, Shape and Height

If you are on a budget and do not want to spend money on new table lamps, look around in your home if you can find two lamps of similar size, shape and height. Put identical shades on them to tie them together. If they are not the same height, you can use a painted wooden block or base underneath the shorter one to raise it. This will give them a further unified look.

Color Trend 2011 - YOLO Colorhouse

I love the colors that YOLO Colorhouse has come out with for 2011. Gray tones play a big role in their color schemes and a darker shade of turquoise still makes it into the year to come. Turquoise is still to stay after a strong year in 2010. Good news for me - it's one of my favorite colors when decorating.
