Giving Thanks and More Crafty Secrets Goodies

It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving has come and gone...and Christmas is knocking on our doors. We had a fabulous time with loved ones this Thanksgiving. I think Josh and I have enough leftovers to last us the rest of the week - and then some! Mini Thanksgiving dinners each night? - Who wouldn't want that!

A picture of my table before.....



...and after.

I once read that it takes 10 hours to cook a traditional Thanksgiving dinner and 10 minutes to consume it - boy is that the truth! But it is sure worth every minute!






Here are a few goodies I put together using my favorite holiday Crafty Secrets products. This tag was stamped with the adorable Santa from the "Christmas Mail Clear Art Stamps". This little set is sooooo handy and versitile! I am constantly pulling stamps here and there for small projects. Like these beautiful vintage cookie cutter ornaments! The tags paired with them were made from the same stamp set and the "Christmas Memories Cardstock Stickers". LOVE these!




Finally, I have a quick tag showing the "To/From" clear stamp from the "Vintage Christmas" clear art stamp set. It is hard to find a "To/From" stamp that is not already attached to an image - this one is perfect!





Hope you enjoy!

Decorating Tips And Foyer Design Furnitures

A foyer is an entryway to your home. The careful design and decoration of foyers is often neglected as these areas are sometimes considered just to be a pass through space. But it is necessary to keep in mind that foyers give guests the first impression about your home. And more importantly, it is the place to greet YOU when you come home.

Foyer Decorating Tips

1. You could try painting your foyer a different colour from adjacent rooms. Warm colours appear more inviting.

2. It is advisable to use lighting with adjustable brightness. Though you need the foyer to be well lit, you don’t want it to be glaringly bright. If you want something ‘high impact’, experiment hanging a chandelier. Keep in mind the limitation of the space, when choosing lighting.

3. Hang a mirror in the foyer to show attractive features on the opposite wall and to give an effect of increased space.

4. You could also display a gallery wall of artwork, photographs or showcase a beautiful piece of sculpture or bronze on a foyer table.

5. In order to bring a bit of ‘life’ into the space you could place plants inside. It is ideal to consider ones that are ‘tall’ and do not occupy too much floor space .

Attic Spaces Design For Minimalis Home

Most attics live and die without ever having an identity of their own. If planned well, they can be put to good use. The attic can be transformed into an office or a lounge. It can either act as your study or just a room where you can chill out. If you are an artist, the room can be a great place to brainstorm. Its basically the seclusion of it from the rest of the house which makes it such a big hit. If you have been toying with idea of what to do with your attic take a look at the pictures below. You can apply a fresh theme to the room(like the car room) or use very rusty colours to give it a worn out, old vintage feel. Whatever you choose, the place which once was smelly won’t be the same anymore.
