Update the look of a room with custom window treatments and designer fabrics

by

It’s spring and I’ll bet good money that a few of you have thought about updating the look of one of the rooms in your home. I think many of us begin to think about re-decorating when spring rolls around. Perhaps it’s the fresh air and that sense of renewal that spring brings that makes us think of giving our homes a new look?

It would be nice to hire a decorator every time we get the urge to redecorate a room, but few of us can afford one, especially these days with the economy, high gas prices and other expenses! I think it’s best to do what you can yourself and purchase decor items at wholesale prices whenever possible in order to save as much money as possible. Plus when you come up with your own decorating ideas and then redo a room you get quite the sense of satisfaction when your project is finished, don’t you?

When you are decorating a room consider fabric as a decor item. Certainly updating your curtains or adding decorative pillows can change the whole look and feel of a room.

If you are about to start redecorating a room or are thinking about your next project and want to get some ideas visit FabricWorkroom.com. They have a huge selection of luxury bedding, designer fabrics, decorative pillows, shower curtains, Window Treatments, upholstered headboards and more to choose from at reasonable prices. In fact you can save 25% to 35% just by shopping at their online store.

I spent some time looking at the wide variety of custom window treatments offered at FabricWorkroom.com and I was impressed. You can view classic, semi and full custom styles for drapes, curtains, valances, shades, swags and other types of window treatments.

Just browse through the selection and once you’ve found a window treatment style that you like you can then move on to selecting the type of fabric that you’d like to use. Fabric choices range from silk, linen, cotton, faux silk, satin and many more. In fact there are thousands of fabrics and fabric designs to choose from at FabricWorkroom.com.

So if you are redecorating don’t forget about fabrics! Visit Fabricworkroom.com for ideas and to save money! They also have free shipping on most items!

Winter’s not anywhere close to being over yet, especially tonight with the ice storm that’s currently raging outside, however you’d never know it when you walk around the neighborhood. It seems that at least one house in 10 in undergoing major renovations. In fact, my elderly neighbors home just started being renovated last week.

I don’t where my neighbors or their contractors are getting their products, but if you happen to be upgrading, renovating or having a new home built you might want to take a look at the products at Builders Electronics.

Gorgeous Casa Sollevare Luxury Home

by

Hey, do you enjoy looking at new homes?

I guess you could call it a form of window shopping.

I enjoy occasionally going to open houses in the area to see how other people have decorated or renovated their homes. Especially if the home is similar in design to my own. It’s a great way to get some ideas.

Even if the house isn’t similar to the home you’re currently in it’s a great way to get ideas for your own home or as a way to begin developing plans for a home you might buy in the future.

I sometimes even browse the MLS listings to compare home prices and take a virtual tour of houses. You could even do a search on one of the search engines for homes that have features that you’re interested in.

For example if you were looking for “luxury golf home Italian architecture” you’d find this absolutely gorgeous house!

This home, currently being highlighted on the CasaSollevare.com website is owned by the architect that created the luxury design on the Colorado Golf course. It was actually named the 2006 home of the year by Colorado Homes & Lifestyles magazine. It’s a Tuscan design and this luxurious home is a cliff side home elevated 350 feet. It has a 360 degree view that extends 50 miles and overlooks Colorado’s most popular wine producing area.

I love the gorgeous fireplace parlor.

Can you imagine retiring to the parlor after a fine meal? The chairs are lovely too. They look like some that I saw on another website earlier this week that were made of old wine barrels.

I’d also be more than pleased to have a kitchen like the one I’ve included an image of below in my own home! It’s modern yet appears to have that timeless old fashion style to it as well. I love the warm yellow walls too.

The attention to detail within the home is amazing. Each room is furnished beautifully.

I could add more photos and continue to gush over this lovely home, but the best suggestion I could make would be to visit the site and go on the virtual tour. I believe if you do the whole tour you’ll see all of the main rooms of the house on the upper and lower floors.

Believe me when I say this home has it all including a gym and spa, garden room, kitchen, wine cellar and so on. It’s even got an elevator!

Unfortunately this home is not within my price range at $2,500,000 but for all I know it may be within your budget! Whether it is or isn’t it’s a nice home to have a peak at and to dream about owning.
