It’s really no wonder that so many college freshmen bring an abundance of decorations to their first dorm. Even though space is at a premium, an undecorated dorm room is a sight to behold – and not a pleasant sight, either. Having lived in a nice, clean room of my own for the majority of my life until that point, I was shocked by what I found behind my dorm room door while moving in.
It didn’t take long for me to start scanning the Internet for home decor wall accessories. Eventually I settled on a large, colorful tapestry that would be perfect for covering up the unsightly water damage along the west wall. By the time my new roommate moved in, I had turned the place into a livable environment. Regardless, I can’t wait to get a real apartment.
Purchasing a perfect gift for someone can be mind boggling right? Why is that? Because we don’t always think outside the box. Unique home accents, something we haven’t thought of before, maybe the ticket. Perhaps the way to tackle this is to contemplate what the person likes – is it elegance, something innocent, country, nature, animals, children, music, flowers, or something else. Could something smaller than a bread box bring satisfaction, a smile, or bring back memories.
Could those memories be rapped up in a simple but small figurine collectable? Figurines are very popular and are irresistible to people of all ages. Is it possible that you have received a figurine as a child and saved it all these years and still it means the world to you. Our family has many such pieces that are placed on desks, shelves, or anyplace we take a glimpse and memories sprout. Guess what, we now have found that perfect gift for the person you love and who seems to have one of everything. Maybe we just filled that empty spot and made a memory.
Many times our kitchen or dining area seems to be missing something. If your home or apartment is anything like ours than there is always too many glasses in the cabinet and maybe wine bottles we want to store properly but stuck on a counter somewhere. The solution? A convenient upright furniture accessory that takes care of both problems. Wrought iron and wood make a very good combination adding class and distinction and color.
Think of it for a moment! One piece of furniture that includes a glass rack, a wine bottle rack with all our favorites, a place to jot down a few telephone notes or grocery notes etc… and a place to add a bowl of fruit. By the way fruit, bread, and wine a very European and not to mention excellent decor. A wood metal wine rack shelf in that empty space adds dignity, design, ambiance to your room. Simple sophisticated accents makes all the difference in the world. We’ve seen European flare elsewhere, why not your own home.
