A wreath is traditionally designed with flowers, fruits, fabric and any other miscellaneous items that may carry some symbolic meaning to the owner. The wreath, according to Christianity, symbolizes the thorns that were worn on Jesus's head, the red berries his blood and the circular shape signifies eternity. However, since its origin, wreaths have been used purely for decorative purposes by many who just simply want to follow the tradition of adorning their front door. Today we learn that wreaths are not solely meant for the Christmas season but can be used all year round giving the impression that they can also be fabricated using just about anything. There are snowman wreaths, wreaths made of old and used fabrics, crotchet items, pine cones and even pvc pipes not to mention miniature wreaths to add to one's living room furnishings. Wreaths can be floral, shabby chic, antiquated, pretty, dull and authentic or simple a circular large piece of hand crafted design made of paper or foliage in any size. The classic wreath carries two main colors red and green with maybe some touches of gold; red and gold are usually the color of the decorations while the entire wreath is a faux evergreen garland. Well, based on the numerous versatile wreaths that bombards the internet especially around Christmas time, we can certainly see that the original front door wreath idea has almost become irrelevant.
It's no wonder these 22 Versatile Shabby Chic Christmas Wreaths That Can Be Used All Year Round are so popular, consider designing one of your own.

Sea shells can be used to make a variety of craft ideas and ornaments and they`re quite interesting because sea shells do come from the group of animals that carry shells on their backs. These mollusks as they are called leave behind a rich supply of mantle which are made from calcium carbonate. Shell collecting is an ardent pastime by many beach combers who love to indulge in recreating, designing, sculpting and painting these left behind exoskeletons that litter the seashore. Many names have been assigned to these shells as they`re known around the world as banded tulip, the periwinkle, baby's ears and imperial Venus among many others. Over 80 sea shells can be identified from around the world as there are over 50,000 of every kind; all with their own scientific names. For those who are unable to collect their own sea shells, worry not, you can buy them over the internet. As you must know, the collecting, crafting, selling and buying of sea shells is a big business.
Always be careful when picking up large sea shells on the shore with your bare hands even though many shell lovers still engage in the habit. Sea shells must be clean thoroughly before they can be used. Live sea shells or shells that still have live tissues in them are not always allowed to be collected by some states and more importantly, they might carry health threats; if you can collect them, then bury them in the ground so that insects and bacteria will clean out the remaining tissue. Other methods of cleaning are freezing, boiling and even placing them in your microwave.
We invite you to cast a glance at the 21 mollusks that have been ingeniously crafted for commercial and home use.

Wood carving involves the chiseling away of wood to create the desired figure by the carver and is one of the world oldest crafts. Before carving a piece of wood, the craftsman has to determine where the grain is in order to learn the weak and strong areas of apparatus. Some of the best wood for carving is walnut with its superb dark color, basswood which is a lighter shade of brown, maple, pine and mahogany. Some of the best tools come in sets with a variety of chisels and knives each having their own purpose, whether its shaving, cutting or rounding edges. Carving can be done using an electrical equipment, like a chainsaw, drill and shaver. All contribute to creating the work of art you will notice in this article along with passion and skill to bring about the most finely sculpted wood art.
A key to creating a great carve out work or art is to work with contrast, by going cutting and chiseling against the grain; which means that a wood carver has to be someone with a certain built and some measure of strength to place force when and where it is needed. Tutorials for wood carving are available online and books can be found with in depth knowledge of this interesting skill at length.
If you are considering learning this craft, understand that there are four ways to go about it, because then you will know what are the appropriate tools you will need and where it would be best for a beginner to start. You will have to learn about chip carving: a special knife used to remove unwanted pieces of wood. Then there is a technique called carving in the round which basically speaks for itself. This is mainly used to give curvature to the wood such as the breast of a bird. Relief carvings are usually done on a flat sheet of wood but is made with three angles or dimensions. Lastly, there is whittling, which is the most common form of carving that stems even further back in history than the other three techniques. This type of carving may seem a bit amateurish because when it is completed, the viewer can see the work the knife left in the wood.
Surely, this is one craft idea that must be undertaken by someone who has an innate ability to work with wood and in the carpentry arena. Consider these 20 wood carving ideas for a rustic home décor.

Marc Jacobs, an American fashion designer, once said, “makeup is the finishing touch, the final accessory,” and we think this is absolutely true!
While we believe that true confidence lies within ourselves, makeup can provide that much-needed boost. And Luminess has stepped in to help achieve just that. They are offering a wide set of products along with an Airbrush makeup system.
So, if you have been craving to achieve that perfect professional finish, the airbrush stylus will help you achieve it. And do not worry if you have never used one before.
The brand has thought it through, providing 2 kits. One is for beginners, while the other is for experts who have prior experience with airbrushing.
Furthermore, we will introduce you to the kit and the brand offerings before moving on to its types. So, what are you waiting for? Dive in!
The Luminess Air Airbrush Makeup Kit
We want to put our best selves forward every time we step out of the house. And one thing that builds self-confidence is the perfect makeup kit. It will not only help in making one’s face flawless but will also provide you with more confidence every time you walk down the streets.
The Luminess Air Airbrush Makeup Kit makes use of an airbrush stylus to apply its different products, leaving you with a smooth and professional finish every time.
No products found.
What Is Inside The Kit?
This tool kit includes a number of components that will together provide your face with excellent coverage. In this section, we will discuss them in detail.
Instructional Video
The kit will always come with an instructional video that will provide necessary tips and tricks to make the application process easy. This will not only introduce you to the products but will also provide information on how to use each one of them. We will recommend watching it before airbrushing your face.
Airbrush Stylus
This is one of the major parts of the system, and the stylus is actually a gun that will help you with spraying. It comes with a sliding trigger that will help you adjust and change the pressure of the makeup.
If you pull it all the way back, you will be getting a pressurized spray that will spread over a small but focused area. Bring the trigger midway for a more balanced spread, and you should be able to handle it well.
Compressor
For the airbrush to function, you will need an airbrush compressor. This will supply air and ensure that it works well in spreading the makeup.
It is also very simple to operate; you will only need to press one button to start and stop. Once you have switched it on, attach it to the compressor, and it should power up immediately.
Moisturizer
Before you apply any form of makeup, it is important to use a good moisturizer. Now Luminess offers water and mineral-based makeup, which works wonderfully on dry skin too. But it is always better to moisturize before applying the foundation.
Foundation
Now we know there are multiple shades when it comes to skin tones, and you would generally be looking for something that resonates with the best. That’s why the company provides 12 different shades for the varied skin tones out there, including fair, warm, deep, tan, and medium shades, to name a few. They will blend well and work on most skin types easily.
Also, you will not need a concealer while using this foundation. This will help in hiding sun damage, freckles, and acne marks easily. It will also hide fine lines giving you complete and flawless coverage.
Plus, the formula is oil-free and will not clog your pores. Hence, you can wear it for long without worrying about rashes and acne.
Blush
You also get a blush that is airbrush-specific, and it will work like standard blushes. Remember to use this sparingly to prevent tinting your face too much. Now there are 8 shades of blush, so you can select one depending on your skin tone. Choose among fair, medium, tan, deep and warm shades, and the blush will complement your shade perfectly.
Hose
This company has been very concerned about the user's convenience; hence, it has designed the hose to be pretty long. The length is perfect, so you will not need the compressor very close to you.
Highlighter
Last but not least, this pack includes a highlighter that works well in accentuating the cheekbones. It will make certain areas of your face lighter and enhance your look.

Copper can carry an industrial appearance or if you prefer a more chic complementary accent to your furniture. The use of copper stems back to many centuries but it seems to be making lately a comeback in many various forms. Copper can be used in designing kitchen counter tops as well as a great back splash. Redesign your bathroom with a touch of copper or the hand rails on your staircase to trade a flat decor for a sheen look. A great place to add some trace of copper would be near the fireplace, as it would highlight the bright reddish-orange color of the metal, while also reflecting of the warmth of the fireplace.Use copper made items to brighten any dull area of your home or add a lift to a dull backdrop. Copper can be used in both modern and traditional spaces but works best when placed near wood or in a rustic decor. Depending on how you design your room, it can be made to stand out or it could be used quite subtly in a contemporary home or office setting.
On one hand copper can be displayed in bronze style in the form of a bracelet, baking pan or wall fireplace and on the other it can take on more polished tones in items such as copper stools in a white kitchen decor. By the looks of things it seems as though copper is soon the be the new silver, with such fast growing trends in home design and folks always wanting that extra special something to bring warmth and gleam to their home during the winter season.

A swimming pool is a great way to bring life to a dull backyard because it encourages regular recreation and family fun time. An outdoor splash can be enclosed by a wooden surface or a concrete one and take on a geometric, kidney or circular shape. Having a relatively miniature basin in the back of you house would make the long hot summer days much shorter and more appreciative. Beautify the area around your tub with flowers and shrubbery or paint the inside in a bright color to stand out even when the sun goes down. A swimming area on your property can be the perfect place to set out a table, chairs and even a BBQ pit for any pool party events. Consider having your own customized pool with a water fountain and an own unique shape and design, while still leaving enough room for a beautiful landscape or walkway. Besides getting you outdoor bubble bath insured, make sure that your pool is always covered unless you intend to pay someone to clean it regularly.
Be mindful that whether you decide to construct an in-ground or fiber-glass plunge bath, a budget must be set to determine the cost of what you desire and how much you're willing to spend. Decide whether you will have a heating system in order to enjoy your new water basin to its fullest or just savor it for the summertime.

Wine Glass Painting can be a fun and interesting art to develop. Once you learn the skill and have mastered it, soon you will be wine glass painting all year round - maybe even doing it as a business. While it may look easy, it is a very delicate and time-consuming skill to master. However, if you have a love for it, the right paint for glass, and a strong desire to learn, here are a few steps you can take to do it yourself.
Choose the glass you would like to work with. Ensure it is well washed, cleaned off with mentholated spirit, and would not break easily under pressure.
Cover the top of the glass with adhesive tape.
Sketch out on a sheet of paper the painting you desire to be on the glass.
Now sketch your drawing on the glass.
When choosing your paint you have two choices - enamels or acrylics.
Have your paint, glass, and brush ready on hand in a clean and dry area for you to work. Make sure you have a plate, board, or palette of some kind to spread your paint on and mix before applying to the glass.
Do not use water to clean your brush in between painting. Paper towels will do just fine.
The last place you will paint is the base of the glass then allow it to dry for one hour.
Put your oven at 350 degrees and bake your glass so that the paint will fully cure in about 3 weeks. Make sure you time your glass for half an hour immediately after placing it in the cold, lighted oven.
Handle your glass with care and do not allow it to soak in water.
Along with these steps here are 20 Painted Wine Glass ideas to try this season.
We highly encourage you to use tools with safety gear at all times and read the instructions manual thoroughly before proceeding.
Transforming a garage into a living space can be a challenging endeavor similar to renovating a basement. The process requires proper preparation, thorough cleaning, and careful organization. It is advisable to begin by vacuuming the area, using effective detergents, and, if necessary, employing a dehumidifier.
Consult with a licensed electrician to assess and execute any necessary rewiring to accommodate new lighting fixtures and electrical outlets. Choose paint colors that enhance the garage's ambiance, such as peach or turquoise, and replace any worn-out ceiling elements to further improve the room's appearance.
Optimizing the available space is crucial to ensure the new living area does not feel cramped. The costs associated with remodeling a garage vary based on its intended purpose. Converting it into a kitchen typically involves purchasing additional appliances, while creating a sitting room may only require adding furniture, plants, and a table. A garage converted into a bedroom might warrant the installation of a bathroom for convenience, and transforming the space into a dining room could potentially lead to higher expenses in pursuit of impressing friends and family. Regardless of the room's function, it is essential to stay within a planned budget to ensure a successful remodeling project.

Nothing is more refreshing to the senses than to walk into an immaculately clean, beautifully aromatic bathroom that is also dressed in its own color scheme. The traditional bathroom would possibly have a curtain, shower area and maybe a tub for relaxing on those long exhausting evenings. Consider designing a powder room into a shabby chic ambiance keeping in mind that this does not always have to mean an all white decor. The real purpose of course would be to give the room a somewhat antique appearance; this is basically the meaning of shabby chic. An old dresser of course will do, up against a neutral painted wall background. If possible add an oil lamp to the mix and a rug on the floor that has been obviously too worn out to place anywhere else in the house. An old fashioned washroom can be constructed with wooden floors and antiquated chandeliers for a more retro look.
This type of decor may not always be appreciated by many folks reason being people wanting to see newness, brightness and modernized items in their homes. A somewhat distressed form of interior designing must be caught on by someone with an eye, a passion for the outmoded. An outed shower and toilet area can be furnished with other unwanted or used pieces of furniture in your home. A chair or table in a fairly dilapidated condition can be used to store towels, toiletries and other well needed miscellaneous, yet relevant objects. Provided this is not possible, invest in a few antique or shabby chic items that will create the setting you desire. Try using dull and neutral colors if white is not your thing, or consider a washed out lace curtain to place around the plunge bath. Get more information on this topic online to help you decide which of our 18 shabby chic bathroom ideas will be suitable for your home.

There are a variety of ideas to choose from for a perfect wedding centerpiece. I came up with 17 wedding centerpieces but am sure you can figure out a lot more. However, planning for a wedding can leave a hole in your pocket. I mean, it's the biggest day of your life, you want everything to be perfect and you want the best. That's not always the case with everyone. Some people are not that fortunate so they have to just settle for whatever they can afford. By the way, you don't need all the money in the wold to have a romantic, beautiful wedding. Just two people who love each other, witnesses, a place to get married and have a reception. Some food, drinks and good friends and family to share your memorable moment with. From my experience, one of the biggest decisions is always, what centerpiece to use on the reception tables? Something that won't cost too much, but at the same time will blend in with the rest of the ambiance. Here are 17 wedding centerpieces that you can consider or maybe get ideas from, if you are in this predicament.
Low Budget Wedding Centerpieces
#1 Opt for a trail centerpiece for your wedding tables
With this unique idea, you can forget about putting together special hand made single centerpiece for each table. Just throw this baby on, how gorgeous is this?!
#2 Floating bowl surrounded by lighted candles for a great wedding centerpiece
Having lighted candles in glasses positioned simultaneously throughout your reception tables or room does carry a warm, romantic ambiance at your party. The reflection of the lights from the candles is what really illuminated the surrounding and beautifies the each table.
#4 Choose a glass with water that will magnify the size of your flower
You don't always have to use real flowers for your wedding for it to be classy and superb. Just a creative mind with a great sense of style and an eye for beauty.
#5 Water beads in stacked fish bowls great for a wedding centerpiece
Another great wedding centerpiece idea only you could change the color of the flower to blend in with the colors of your wedding.
#6 Red petals along side white lighted candles for a valentine's day wedding centerpiece
This looks like a lot of effort and time was placed into this skillful creation. This table looks romantic all by itself. Imagine seeing the entire wedding reception with this centerpiece.
#7 Breath taking baby's breath floral arrangement for this wedding centerpiece
Without the lighting fixtures here, the beauty of this wedding centerpiece would be lost in the shadows. Somewhat rustic style is a perfection addition in this put together.
#8 A single flower in a glass rolled in silver dust for your wedding centerpiece
I always say, while a bunch of flowers makes a romantic statement or shows gratitude, one flower says a million more words. Surprising how they chose to leave the leaves on the flower in this wedding centerpiece, yet it looks better than if they had cut it out.
#9 A wedding centerpiece that looks expensive but was made on a reasonable budget
Using bright colors for your wedding centerpiece would draw the attention of your guest. Yellow leaves a warm, friendly feeling. Great for a summer wedding.
#11 Simple vase of flowers for a 'ball' of a wedding centerpiece
When in doubt about coming up with the right wedding centerpiece on a low budget, just go with your natural instincts and you just may surprise yourself.
#12 When gold is the color scheme and your out of ideas for a wedding centerpiece
Just throw some gold or silver balls on a glass server with a lighting fixture close by for a more glossy appearance. I'm thinking a winter wedding for this wedding centerpiece.
#15 White roses in a cut glass bowl with water -soft, delicate wedding centerpiece
Rananculus and baby's breath alongside this piece of lace, really says wedding. This wedding centerpiece to me seems as though it would also be great as a bridal bouquet.
#16 If you desire to have a tall tree as your wedding centerpiece
This wedding centerpiece makes the point of these centerpieces clear, to draw the attention of the guest to the center of the table.
#17 A battery operated gold and silver wedding centerpiece
Loving this led glitter branch for a funky styled wedding centerpiece.
A great way to decide on what wedding centerpiece you would like to have on your reception table is to go with your favorite flowers and the season it blooms in.
Christmas trees are that one decoration that never gets old or out of style despite being in use for centuries. The timeless presence can be nestled in any interior design effortlessly along with combinations of old fairy lights, ribbons and Christmas ornaments of all kinds that invite the magical holiday allure that we all pursue. The Christmas trees outdoors can make the setting interesting as well whether they`re planted or potted, emphasizing the festive feel around a home in no time.
Whether you choose to decorate your tree with classical combinations such as gold and red or silver and blue or simply decide to let it bare, raw animated by light only the piece will beautifully emphasize any setting, simply ensure its presence in your setting.
Red and Gold Christmas Trees
Classic set up - red and gold
Ribbons of gold and red along a combination of Christmas globes and poinsettias of the same color are a successful combination. It may look dense, flamboyant compared to other Christmas trees yet the combination of red and gold produces the Christmas feel that can fit any home. Red and gold simply fits well with the cold, wintery Christmas theme.
Christmas arrives, a home is filled with festive decorations from the first step on the porch all the way up to the attic and while one might make his life purpose to avoid decorating with gold and red, most interior designs will surely have red and gold, both very significant presences in the Christmas season. Red and gold pieces naturally complement one`s Christmas tree and the natural deep green hue that we all adore. The dainty fairy lights add a beautiful background and greatly enhance the lovely Christmas tree.
Small elements
Red and gold can let anything stand out perfectly on other solid colors, even on a combination of the same red and gold background. The setting bellow meets yellow and maroon in background yet it stand out thanks to the small elements that become great focal in the beautiful green mass represented by the Christmas tree. Scale can always help you win over a decor. Use it wisely.
Rustic mix of gold and red poinsettia
Poinsettias are a strong presence and in red they often win the Christmas decor game. Whether fresh or artificial, this stunning flower brings out the festive feel from its lively red hues, emphasize with some rustic golden decors and simple warm white lights. Burlap can aid your decor too !
Cascading golden ribbon and shiny red decors
While placing ribbons around the Christmas tree is the classic way to go, having these ribbons cascade on the tree can be an option, creating a certain drama on the tree. Notice how the golden ribbons are highlighted at the top with a red starry presence, a visual delight.
Clutter-free Christmas trees are hard to obtain and some may even consider them inexpressive, a tad boring yet the setup that follows clearly does not fall in this category. Strong red Christmas globes shine in a red green mass, highlighted by warm light decorations thus shaping a very strong presence in a classical-elegant setting, one that can`t receive clutter, one that requires simple elements, not to be challenged .
This English Manor inspired Christmas tree is timeless, splendid, especially with gold-red decorations. The variety of the ornaments at different scales creates a lovely emphasis on the tree through depth, the dainty red ribbons around the tree are subtle but unquestionably, present.
Larger can be better and this works well with this red and gold Christmas tree design. The tree stands out in the room without looking overcrowded. The solid red and gold decors create a dramatic effect not only on the tree but the whole room.The variation as a result is small, not to destroy one`s view. Simple, epic design.
Christmas globes are as common as snowmen during the Christmas season. These decors are the go-to choice for a Christmas tree, a simple must. As simple as it is, these shiny globes are still stunning when they`re mixed properly in color and scale.
Matte decors for a cool country home Christmas tree
While many would choose the glossy decor approach for a Christmas trees, matte decors are a solid alternative that can make a Christmas tree look extraordinary. This creates a country feel that some shinier trees lack, simple lights here and there could emphasize the design of the Christmas tree.
Concentrating on a tree inside the home is essential yet having another one on your yard makes the whole Christmas decorating complete, offering a great Christmas allure for the inhabitants and pedestrians alike. Using simple lights on a simple conic frame, these simplified Christmas trees or red, gold and green brighten the yard without going over the top whilst creating a lovely effect along the snow.
While small decors are the usual trend for red and gold Christmas trees, larger decor pieces are also becoming a popular choice. Besides from being clutter-free, larger designs create a different kind of classic touch on the Christmas tree in the change of scale as they stand out inviting the Christmas tree itself in the focus area of the viewer.
The Christmas tree may have all sorts of decorations yet Christmas globes can dominate these pieces with ease. The solid, uncomplicated colors are highly graphic yet subdued to the natural beauty of the tree. The garlands and fairy lights also accentuate the globes, making the setting look shinier.
Conceptualized trees for the Christmas dinner table
The lucky ones can get a real pine tree fit in their homes, or the usual commercial Christmas trees sold in stores yet in small spaces or with low budgets, conceptualization is key. A Christmas tree cannot be exiled in a home with no inhabitant, a home in which the inhabitant only sleeps late at night after full work-days. In these scenarios, simple reminders in centerpieces or coffee table decorations can help. A simple cone dressed to fit the holiday setting by a candle and a shower of string lights can be sufficient to invite the charming, magical allure of the holiday.
Perfect red and golden tree topper
A Christmas tree is never complete without a topper and while simple DIY crafts can bring you extraordinary results in this area, the classical flamboyant ones that can be found in retail will never go old. The red, almost orange hue mixed with gold can become a focal point immediately.

In interior design the mirror is really quite a magical element, an element able to emphasize a design line by enchanting it with itself and enlightening with additional light. The possibilities opened in interior design by mirrors are unlimited yet few are the ones using them for aesthetics purposes.
A mirror today can take any shape and size and the variations between prices is not worth considering as it is insanely low when compared to the effect of the mirror in your design line. You can use them to reflect light in darker corners of your home, you can use them to emphasize the feeling of space by doubling the visual surface with a wall mirror and you can even use them to manipulate shadows and obtain visual control in certain points.

When contemplating purchasing a modular home, it is both imperative and necessary to understand primarily that modular homes were built in consideration with preserving the environment.

Modular homes are built way faster than the traditional houses because they are prefabricated yet the taxes on both remain the same. Another name one can use in place of modular is prefabricated.

Of course, you will need to install a few basic necessities that are already built into a traditional home.
