Finding The Perfect Bed For Your Room

Recently I’ve shared ideas to create cozy bedrooms from furniture, bedding and decor, to the little touches.  But whether your researching The Best Baby Activity Tables for your child’s room or searching for the perfect bedspread for your master suite, one thing is for certain: the bed is the centerpiece to the entire room; so today I decided to take a look at beds.  The bed is the main focal point of any room and can completely define the style of the room.   Most recently we decorated a nursery, and I looked at a lot of cribs.  This article on  The Best Mini Cribs; A cute crib for those smaller spaces! may be helpful in helping you choose the perfect one. But what about your other bedrooms?  Here are just a few choices for you to consider.


Sleigh Bed

One of my favoirte types of beds is the sleigh bed.  They have these in several colors and styles, such as the one pictured above.  They even have  leather sleigh beds which look very sleek and stylish.

Another kind of bed they have is the arched bed frame.  I like this style for its simplicity.  And I think it looks great in natural wood color seen here.

Leather Bedframe

 

And then for a change of pace and something completely modern, I love this Leather Double TV bed.  I looks very sleek, chic, and modern, and it comes in white, black, and chocolate so it can go with any decor.  Adding to this the allure of this bed frame is that it comes with the wires, cables and powerpack to install a television at the end of the the bed.  And you can even purchase a 32 inch LED  Smart tv upgrade with your bed.

Liven Up Your Guest Room with Frette

A while back I wrote a series of posts on making your home guest ready.  Today I’ve got a fantastic site to introduce you to, where you will find items that can help make your guest room extra cozy! Frette offers a beautiful collection of bedsheets, duvet covers, blankets, throw pillow, and even bath robes and slippers.

Silver Bedding

I love their collection pictured above.  This one is called The Golden Bowl.  Doesn’t it look inviting?  I love the light silvery color and the leafy texture.  It makes it a perfect for spring time.  And it just looks so soft and comfy.

Edie Blue Bed

 

I also love this set.  It is called Ava Blue. I really love the various patterns here. It gives the ensemble a very vintage appeal.  And I think the patterns combined with these colors could be great for someone who loves shabby chic, and I think this set would go with just about any decor classic or contemporary.

Seventies Beige Bedding

 

And I think this collection has got to be the best combination of vintage, modern, and chic all rolled into one!  This one is called Seventies.  I think they certainly named it right.  Just look at those great vintage patterns.  And yet, I the neutral colors help to give it a very chic and almost elegant look!  This actually may be my favorite set on the entire site.

Guest Room Supplies

Frette also has everything you need to make your home guest ready, including robes, slippers, towels, candles, and soaps.  Go check out their site for other designer items for your home!

How to Freshen Your Walls with Frames from Picture Frame Guys

Picture Frame

As you get ready organize and decorate your home in this new year, you can instantly create new looks in any room just by updating your family photos and picture frames.  Picture Frame Guys has premier frames in a variety of types and colors, as well as other supplies.  And their site is also a great resource of information on the materials and process of framing.

Even First Time Buyers will find it easy to place their orders, by following their four easy steps: Frame, Mat, Mounting Board and Glass.

When choosing your frame, you get to pick between the traditional wooden frame and a more contemporary metal frame.

Next you will choose your matting.  The primary purpose is to put an air space between the glass and the artwork so that the two do not stick to each other over time. A secondary purpose of matting is to create a border between the frame and the artwork, thereby drawing the viewers eye inward, towards the piece.  For matting, you will need to choose the grade of matting you would like, as well as the number of layers, and the color(s).

Next you will choose your mounting board, and finally you will choose your glazing.  You can choose standard, anti-glare, ultra violet reducing glazing.

The perfect frame and matting will really give your artwork and family photos something extra and make them really pop!

For more information on framing and the products at Picture Frame Guys  check out their FAQ.

Febreze Holiday Collection Review with Giveaway

febreze

After the tree is trimmed, the halls are decked, and Christmas dinner  cooked, we all like to do our last minute clean ups and touch ups around the house before the guests arrive.  Febreze makes it easy for you to freshen your home with the Febreze Holiday Collection.

There are six great holiday scents available:

  • Apple Spice & Delight: The warming scent of fresh-baked apples coated with sweet cinnamon (available only online)
  • Cozy Vanilla Sugar: Sweet as notes of vanilla that comfort you like a cocoon of blankets
  • Cranberries and Frost: Rich as ripe cranberries and frost on a white winter’s day
  • Glistening Alpine: As soothing as a tree-lined mountainside glistening with the scent of pine
  • Winter Magic & Glow: Crisp as sunshine-lit icicles in fresh, frosty air
  • Holiday Bloom & Cheer: As cheerful as a chorus of holiday aromas blended with winter blossoms

The Febreze Holiday Collection is available in the form of candles, spray, air freshener, car vent clips, fabric refresher spray, and Noticeables scented oil.

I received a review pack of the Cozy Vanilla Sugar.  My favorite product is the Noticeables scented oil.  Like other Noticeables products, it is dual scented.  The two scents are Cozy Vanilla and Vanilla Bean.  Both of these are very sweet smelling.  They fill the room with a lovely fragrance without being overwhelming, and since I started using the product I’ve gotten compliments on how nice it smells in the house.

I also received Febreze spray in the Cozy Vanilla Sugar.  It smells very nice, and I think it’s a great product to spray just before company comes over.

And I also received a candle. I don’t burn candles a lot, because of the cats, but I do like to set them out.  Right now I’ve got the Cozy Vanilla Sugar candle on a sidetable right by my front door, so you get a slight hint of vanilla right when you walk in, which is very nice.

I’m really enjoying these products, and I think they’d be of great use to you this holiday season!

Cozy Vanilla Febreze

You can shop for the Febreze Holiday Collection in stores or online at Walmart.com, where you’ll also find decorating tips from design expert Candice Olson.
