My Favorite Post 2011 with added Pictures
Add a Pop of Color to your New Year!
Give emphasis to a neutral room by adding a few smart hits of color.
Accent walls can be a powerful design choice in your home. They break up the traditional look of having four walls that are painted the same color. They draw your eye to a particular part of the room. And they give you a chance to play around with color in your house in a new way. A brightly-colored wall should only be added to a room where the other three walls are white or neutral. Or, you can also use a darker shade in the same color family (as the lighter other walls) to pull attention to one wall or area.
You can also use accent pieces or accesories for a pop of color.

| Be careful with color...This one works! |
 |
| One bright wall can change everything! |
 |
| Dark & Bright really works here! |
 |
| A neutral room with one bright piece of furniture |
 |
| The purple wall works with the mustard chairs, 'cause all else is neutral. |
 |
| Just a touch of bold color. Perfection! |

DESIGNING YOUR HALLWAYS
Halls are pathways between livingspaces, but they can be much more than this. Instead of seeing your hallway asjust a way to get from one room to another,
look at it as a gallery to displayall that you love.
Displays of treasured and found items bring vibrancy to ahome. They give guests a glimpse into your life.By effectively using shelving, artwork for wall space or furniture (dependingon size of hall), you can display the objects you love most. The hallway is akey place to do this. A key to successful hall gallery display is using acommon denominator, such as color, a material, a shape, or a theme, to unifythe pieces. Grouping elements in odd-numbered groups, usually three to fivepieces, creates an eye-pleasing display. Varying the heights of the elementsadds interest.
Display collectibles by creating small groupings on an art shelfor within shadow boxes. Choose items in the same color family to create unitywithin the display area in your hall. Whatever look you choose, don't skip overthe hallway when designing your home. It can prove to be the unexpected gem ofyour personal space.
And always remember: less is more!

A HOME LIBRARY FOR BOOK LOVERS
If you happen to be a book lover or a voracious reader, it is likely that you have built up quite a collection of books over the years. Home libraries help you organize your book collection, make it easier to find books, makes reading more fun and helps relaxing within the comfort of your home. Here are a few tips to design your home library.
While building a home library the three basic elements required are: space, shelves and books. You can either build a new room or choose an existing room to house your books or if you have limited space, get creative!
Most any room will do, think: recessed or built-in bookshelves or floor-to-ceiling storage and save space. You can also mount bookshelves onto the wall or buy glass cases, which might be preferable if your collection includes antique books that you want to preserve. Any shelving can be tucked under staircases or other out-of-the-way spaces. Freestanding bookcases are widely available in a variety of sizes, colors and price points.
And, as your bookshelves creep up the wall, you may need a library ladder to reach them!
