Tips and Guidelines in Decorating Your Bathroom

Bathroom is the place where you and your family clean your inner and outer self. Giving importance to the designs and decorations of your bathroom will make you enjoy your moment of being there. If you have a smaller bathroom space, you can add mirrors to give a wider view of your bathroom. Bathroom vanities will accommodate your other hygiene routines like brushing the teeth, washing the face, and washing the hands. Cabinets can now be placed inside the bathroom for the storage of linens, towels, and so much more. Consider the space of your bathroom before buying a cabinet. Don’t forget to include towel holders and rugs to maintain cleanliness and orderliness.

City of Lights

If I could go to any country for free, I would choose France. I love to travel, and there are many places I want to go, but France is where I have been longing to go for longest. I want to see Paris! I want to see the Louvre, the Eiffel Tour, the Seine River, Disneyland Paris, the architecture, the food, the people. I want to see it all. I want to go to the French country side and see the opulent chateau’s and rolling hills, taste all the local wines and cheeses, and see where my ancestors are from. I want to travel south and see the warm beaches and palm trees on the Mediterranean.

How to Choose The Right Platform Bed?

Your bed can comfort you after being so tired from your daily activities. You can select a platform bed which gives accommodation more than an ordinary mattress. It has no springs underneath. In fact, there are platform beds that have storage below to maximize the space of your bedroom. In choosing, select what material will fit to your needs. Platform beds can be made of wood or metal. They also vary according to size and height. Some may have higher base than others which are closer to the floor. Incorporate the design of your bedroom to your platform bed choice. You will be having a great time inside your bedroom if the styles will go along with each other. It is recommended to buy platform beds for sale in your local store to ensure the best quality.

Getting Back with Nature

I often do feel the need to get in touch with nature. I live in the city now, but I grew up in the country. I spent the summers camping and playing outdoors. I even worked at a camp for five summers. Now that I am older I spend the summers inside a stuffy workplace. I try to get outside a few weeks a year to get in touch with nature. If I can go camping I do, but just a nice hike through the forest gets me back to nature. There is so much peace and beauty out there, I feel like if I don’t spend some time enjoying it I’ll stop appreciating it.

A Change of Perception

I would assume the role of a community organizer and activist. The thing that I would strive to change it the perception of the area I live in. There is a tendency in local politics to focus solely on what we need, or what we don’t have. People forget to celebrate the great things about their communities. The focus is always on the negative. I would strive to make it known how great the extra things are in our neighborhood. We have great museums, great parks and great businesses that we can be proud of. The good things we have almost always outweigh the things we don’t.

A Visit To The Furniture Shop

I've always been averted to finding bathroom vanities everytime I get the chance to visit any furniture shop. But then, my husband always stops me because he believes that we have too much stuff in our bathroom already. Well, I do agree that we have things in the bathroom. However, he doesn't need to be stressed about having too much since I make sure that our bathroom is always clean and in good shape. We always fight about my things being mixed with his things, when in fact, he is the one who scatters everything in the bathroom every morning since we got married.

Reading is Fun

Books are my friends, and have been for as long as I can remember. As a child, I'd stay up reading long past when my parents went to bed, sneaking a flashlight under the covers until I was sure they wouldn't catch me. I'd go on adventures on those nights, making new friends and exploring new places until I couldn't keep my eyes open for one moment longer. Even now, I'm still always looking for new adventures, or revisiting my favorites. I see my daughter starting to do the same now, and I can't help but smile. Reading can take you so far, introduce you to so many people and cultures, all for the cost of some paper and ink.

A Good Night’s Sleep

One day, there was a big fuss down the street. I immediately rushed to see whether somebody was hurt. But then, I saw people were crowding over platform beds for sale in the side walk. It was really funny because I was already prepared with my first aid kit. Anyway, I surfed through the stuff and I ended up buying one for myself. As soon as I got home, I brought it to my room and assembled it. I was very happy because I can now sleep on a very comfortable and soft bed at the end of the day.
