If you and your spouse are considering giving a make over to your home, here are a few tips to help you know where to start:

1. Start looking through decorating magazines and home decor websites and tear out or print out pictures with rooms that make you feel good, rooms that you like. Find pictures that represent your style, whether it is traditional, classic, modern or contemporary. There can be a different consistency in the mood or energy of each room that you selected. Some can be peaceful and calm and others colorful and dramatic.

2. Separate the rooms by atmosphere. Determine which of your rooms might benefit from the pictures that you chose. You might want the bedroom to be calm and tranquil and the living room to be warm and have a cozy feel. You may like to create a spa bathroom feel with a serene and fresh surrounding. Or you will decide that you want every room to invite relaxation.

3. Prepare a file for each room and pull out the photos for that space and start analyzing each photo. Do you lean towards dark furniture or light furniture? Are you drawn to living rooms with sophisticated draperies? Do you like clutter free? Do you like a modern area rug or more a traditional one? What kind of wall art do you like? How about accessories such as decorative pillows or throws? Are they colorful or more subtle? What about the color of your walls?

4. Before making a purchase of fabrics, furnishings or accessories of any kind, ask yourself if that particular object will contribute to the desired mood and look you want to achieve. Stay focused, go along with the plan you have and you will create the home of your dreams.

Mohair usually refers to a silk-like fabric or yarn made from the hair of the Angora goat. The word “mohair” was adopted into English before 1570 from the Arabic mukhayyar, a type of haircloth. Mohair fiber is approximately 25-45µ in diameter. It is one of the oldest textile fibers in use. It is both durable and resilient. It is notable for its high luster and sheen, and is often used in fiber blends to add these qualities to a textile. Mohair also takes dye exceptionally well. Mohair is also warm as it has great insulating properties. It is durable, moisture-wicking, stretch and flame resistant.
Mohair is composed mostly of keratin, a protein found in the hair, wool, horns and skin of all mammals. While it has scales like wool, the scales are not fully developed, merely indicated. Thus, mohair does not felt like wool does.
Mohair increases its diameter with the age of the goat, growing along with the animal. This means fine hair from younger animals is used for finer applications such as clothing, and the thicker hair from older animals is more often used for carpets and heavy fabrics intended for outerwear.

Here are a few tips that will help you organize your linen closet:

Install in your closet adjustable shelving. Start by setting them 10” to 12” apart and adjust as needed for specific items.

Organize linen by type (sheets, towels and table linens), then by room (master bathroom, master bedroom, kids bedroom and guest bedroom).
For example, on one of the shelves, you can have on the right side master bed linen and on the left side master bath towels.
Have the same set up for your kids’ linens.

Attach peel and stick labels to shelves and fabric baskets, this way everyone can find what they are looking for.

Invest in sets of linen dedicated to your guests.

Keep the closet neat by folding bed and bath linens to fit on the shelf without any material overhanging.

Place face clothes in a fabric box. Store them behind or between the stack of matching towels.

Save the highest shelf to store seasonal linens.

Out of season quilts and mohair or cotton throws can be stored also in a basket at the bottom of the closet.

Fill up clear glass containers with soap bars and place them between stacks of towels and linens. The refreshing scents of the soaps will permeate the towels.

So, we hope these few ideas are a great help to you.

For many people, a bedroom is more then a place to sleep. It is a place to escape, a place where you can find calm and silence. There are few rooms more personal in a house then the master bedroom.
One of the best ways to update the look of your bedroom is to paint the walls in a soft and calming neutral.
Keep it simple with humble fabrics. Go for crisp, white hotel look bed sheets and pillow shams and accentuate them with multiple decorative pillows to create a focal point. Change the pillows with the season or the mood.
Throws are also a fabulous accessory to brighten up your room. If instead of wall to wall carpeting your flooring is hardwood or a laminate, adding an area rug can completely change the character of the room.
Add furniture and accessories with an elegant flare to add personality.
To create drama, choose surfaces and textiles that reflect light and that shimmer.
Bring more glamour to the place with a stunning Venetian glass mirror, original wall art, clean line furnishings and matching glass lamps. Pairs make a more balanced statement.
All these, create visual interest and also combined can create an intriguing and inviting ambience.

These are a few tips that will help you plan for a place of contemplation and relaxation that you deserve.
