Elegant D’Legne Chandeliers

by

I love redecorating. The trouble is that I’m very particular about how I want the rooms in my home to look. I’m sure I’m not alone in that preference.

If you’re like me, you get a picture in your head of how you’d like a room to look – the type of furniture, the style, the decor … everything right down to the lighting.

I’ve said many times that our house is in a state of renovation. I’m hoping that before summer ends our living room / dining room will be finished. Then I might change the decor slightly.

I know that I’ll definitely be changing the lighting in the dining room portion of the room.

Originally I’d gone for a more modern style of lighting, but now that we are more than half done our renovations I know that I need to go with a more traditional form of lighting.

One of the types of lighting that I’ve considered has been a chandelier. My parents had lovely chandeliers in their dining room and in their living room. Perhaps that’s part of the reason why I’ve been thinking I might want a chandelier now.

They have a beautiful elegant crystal chandelier that combines the tradition of crystal with a modern design.

The D’Legne Chandelier is made of had polished crystals, and has a chrome plated steel frame. It even includes the bulbs.

Visit the site to view more photos of this lovely chandelier. I think it’s an impressive design.

In the meantime I’ll try to get my renovations done and decide if a chandelier will suit the room or not.






Planning a much needed vacation

by

Speaking of traveling. I keep saying that Chris and I need to go on a vacation. We haven’t been anywhere for ages, and when we have gone to another city we’ve almost always ended up staying with family.

Somehow that’s just not the type of holiday I’ve been craving.

I have a few places that I’d like to vacation in. I’d love to go to Costa Rica, several places in Europe and for some reason I’d like to go to Orlando to go to Disney World.

Quite the mix eh?

Actually the only place that probably is feasible right now is Orlando. We could fly or drive and it would still end up costing less than flying to Costa Rica or Europe! When we go to Disney World we’d probably stay in an Orlando vacation home rental. I really don’t care for hotels all that much and if we rented a vacation home we’d be able to cook our own meals and relax a bit more than we would in a hotel. It’d feel more home like.

Have you stayed in vacation homes when you’ve traveled?

Discount Blinds at Terrys Fabrics

by

How have you dressed you windows? I know that some people prefer curtains while others prefer blinds. I suppose it depends upon the style of the house and the decor of the room as to which style of window dressing you might choose to use.

I have a mix or blinds and curtains in my 1920’s style home. I’ve found that curtains just don’t look right in my smaller spare bedrooms so I’ve opted to use Roman blinds which roll up into folds of material and have a curtain like effect. I also use mini blinds on my small basement windows as I find blinds makes it easier to allow the amount of light into the room that I want while making it hard for anyone outdoors to see into the room.

If you have been looking for blinds for your home you might want to take a look at the wide selection at TerrysFabrics.co.uk.

You’ll find a large variety of blinds at Terrys. They have Roller blinds, Roman blinds kits, Roman blinds, Venetian blinds, Vertical blinds, and wooden blinds. The company also offers quality custom made blinds.
