When you combine solid wood, graceful classic lines and a cherry finish, you get that distinguished look that is good enough for royalty. This night stand isn't an original Louis Phillipe, but it provides a good example of how period furniture, or furniture inspired by them can create the right atmosphere in a bedroom.

Bedrooms are made for relaxation, so the calming effect of this furniture style can be just perfect. It may not be the focus of the room, but it does accent it. Make sure you balance it out with the right fabrics and textures in the room, to avoid a room that is as well formal (unless of course it's what your aiming for with your design).

This is the sort of furniture that stands the test of time, both in terms of style and functionality. Quality storage, including a felt lined jewelry drawer, and personal space for you to locate your belongings as you go to sleep.

Soft music, a glass of wine, a cool Summer, Spring or Fall evening out on the patio deck and a warming fire emanating from this gorgeous and very sturdy little dining table's very entrails makes this elegant metal piece of patio furniture far more than one could even imagine. Completely versatile – the center can also be used as an ice tray – it has the gorgeous and textured appearance of fine metal. The mesh dome, congruent with the rest of the design provides a spark arrestor, keeping things safe year round and helping provide an ambiance that is awfully hard to come by. The sheer versatility of this cute item alone makes the investment in fine outdoor living worthwhile.

Made of recast aluminum and therefore holding its durable finish forever, the elegant design would sell the piece, even without its other benefits. 42 inches across, 22 inches high, it makes a fabulous leg rest as well, or so we hear. The inner tray isn't small, I hasten to add. Fully 7 inches deep and 22 inches in diameter, it can hold some good size fire material and last a while.

These days when fire pits are all the rage in landscape design, some thing as portable and pretty as this item can serve the very same purpose yet be moved around at one's leisure. This item is geared to enhancing the outdoor room which we call our landscape or our patios. Comfort outdoors is what the glories of warmer weather are all about. With an item like this, this period of outdoor living can even extend itself into yet more weeks and months. This is a gorgeous and extremely handy piece of outdoor furniture.

Isn't it strange that you can go into two identical home both with warm friendly people living there and feel totally welcome and comfortable in one and in the other you can't wait to leave. What is your home saying about you?

What's the difference?

The difference is the way the houses are talking about their occupants. In the first home you enter you have that warn cozy feeling allowing your eyes to roam freely throughout the room.

In the second home nothing flows together. Your eyes are constantly being stopped by an out of place window treatment or “thingie” that just doesn't belong where it's placed. You suddenly realize that your feeling uncomfortable and can't wait to get out of there?

over here is a quick list of decorating secrets that will make your home shout “over here lives one awesome family”:

Secret #1. do not Sweat The Cost!

The reason I put “do not sweat the cost” as the first secret is due to that's the number one reason I have heard through the years that people do not decorate. It's as well expensive!

Two identical houses sit side by side on the very same street. The people living in both houses are friendly people the type you would like to get to know better. Enter one home and you feel comfortable and welcome, enter the second and from the moment you enter you feel uncomfortable and on edge. Whats the difference?

That's just a bunch of cow dung. In my thirty plus years of decorating, some of the best decorated homes were the ones that the owners spent hardly any money. Money isn't the cure all for awesome decorating.

I have seen far as well many homes where they spared no cost and decorated to the hilt. The result was a show place that you couldn't be comfortable in if you cared to attempt.

Some of the greatest decorating treasures are in your mind – outside of the box – or down the street at the thrift store or “Good Will”.

Secret #2. Decorate For Your Family!

Decorating should be meaningful. You want to showcase the talents and hobbies of your family. High lite those activities your family is into by incorporating those sports or activities into you family room decorating. The most crucial people who will ever be in your home is your family. Flaunt them and show all your visitors and friends what you're about as a family.

Secret #3. Get the Family Involved In the Decorating

When the family is involved in the decorating project you create family memories that will last lifetimes and be talked about at family gatherings for years to come.

When the family isn't involved in the decorating they resent the intrusion into their space and will throw little “monkey wrenches” into the project to display their resentment.

Secret #4. Go Style Shopping as a Family!

Puzzled as to what style or theme you want to use? Make it a family fun decision. Go style shopping with your family, ending up in a favorite place for desert or snacks and discuss what your project will look like and say about your family.

Secret #5. Over Spend Not!

You could have the best looking home in the neighborhood but if you over spent on decorating and your family is feeling the pinches for doing so you will resent the beautiful surrounding.

Your resentment will show in how you take care of the room as well as your attitude about the room. This attitude will spill over and your home will lose that warm cozy feeling that is portrayed by those living there.

Secret #6. Keep It Simple!

Have you ever been to a home where it was decorated to such a degree that you felt uncomfortable? You do not know where to sit due to you do not want to disturb the starched look. You sure couldn't feel comfortable in your “funkies” in this room. You sit on the end of the chair hoping you do not wrinkle the fabric.

I know you have been to a location like that, so have I, far as well many times. You just want to get out of there so you can relax.

Keep it simple and comfortable!

Secret #7. Have Fun with Your Decorating!

Let your humor show through. A couple of pillows with your favorite sayings will liven up a room in short order. If it looks starchy to you it will look 10 times more starchy to your visitors and friends.

Home decorating should be exciting for all the family. What you decorate today you will replace with a new “thingie” tomorrow. Have fun with your decorating. Your humor and good taste will speak volumes about you and your family to visitors and friends.
