The sounds and sights of Spring.

Do you feel it? Do you hear it?

Do you see it?

Close your eyes and vision what the blind can see, what they can touch, feel.

Home Decorating, Color Combinations

When you are home decorating, colors combinations can be chosen using the color wheel. This helps you to get the colors that help to portray a particular feeling in each room of the house. The decorating of each room should start off with a primary color - red, blue or yellow - that works with whatever style of decorating your are using. You can combine these colors to create your secondary colors or use various hues of the same color.The use of home decorating colors affects the mood of a room. Some colors lighten you mood, while others tend to depress you. Because colors affect moods, you can choose different colors to suit the personalities of everyone in the home. Active people like to have colors such as shades or orange, yellow and red. These colors actually seem to dominate a room, but they do help to create an upbeat ambiance. These colors work well in a room with a fireplace as they match the colors of the fire and the glowing embers.Some people prefer to have all neutral colors that are coordinated to provide a smooth effect. Having only one color when choosing home decorating colors works well, too. The walls are all one color and everything in the room is a shade of that particular color. This type of color scheme provides an elegant effect in living rooms.Home decorating colors for bedrooms are usually more muted than other rooms. You want to create a calming effect so the shades of color are usually pale in comparison with the bright colors of the living room and kitchen. This works well in children's bedrooms when you want to get them to sleep.

You probably want a classy home interior painting without spending too much money and exerting too much work. If that’s the case you can simply refer to the following tips for interior house painting.If you will be eager to know these tips for interior house painting, you would come to realize that there is more than just rolling your preferred shade of paint color unto your walls.Knowing these interior house painting tips will not just make your walls beautifully painted, but these will as well give you great and fantastic ideas on how you can make your painting sessions speedy yet looks professionally done.The following are the tips for painting the interior of the house. And if you will follow them consistently, it is guaranteed that you can save a good deal of time in your painting session.
First, wash your brush. Just before you start painting, wash your brush in the solvent that you are going to use when you are done with your painting. Like for instance, water based latex. Through this, as you clean the brush when you are done it will easier for you to do so.Second, wrap the roller or the brush. If you don’t plan to clean the roller or the brush after using it, yet you are planning to do the painting again after a few days. It is suggested that you wrap them inside a plastic bag very tightly and place them inside the freezer.

Third, use either lotion or latex gloves. If you want to keep your hands clean while painting, use latex gloves then. These are great especially when you are using a paint that is oil-based.
However, if you have allergies in using latex gloves, you can apply hand lotion as an alternative. If you apply a thick coat of lotion before you paint, cleaning will only be easier for you when you are done.
Fourth, consider the wet edge problem. Whenever you paint always consider the wet edge problem, then stay away from it. Also remember that painting over a dry edge will make overlap marks.
Fifth, don’t get stingy when buying brushes or roller covers. When you use cheap roller covers, this will only create a fuzzy form on your wall. Also, cheap brushes will only create uneven brush marks. Rollers that come in multi-packs sold a one dollar are not advisable to buy. It is more advisable to prefer better manufactured tools. Be practical in a clever way.
Sixth, get the “blue-tape”. This blue-tape is nothing like a masking tape. This is different from the traditional masking tape which comes in a beige color. The good thing about the blue-tape is that it doesn’t peel that easily. Hence, this will keep you away from possible frustrations when doing the actual painting.

Seventh, be careful not to lose the can opener of your paint. These can openers for paint come as small metal keys. Therefore, they are prone to be lost in any moment of carelessness. Preferably, chain it to a little chunk of wood.
Eight, be clever on the process of your painting. Follow this order: start from the ceilings, to the walls, trimmings, down to the cabinets, then to the doors. Just always remember to start it from the top going to the bottom.
So, these are all the practical tips in doing your interior house painting. Simply, follow these interior house painting tips carefully and you will never meet stress in painting.

Painting is an aphrodesiac!

February 6th, 2008
Scientists have just proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that paint fumes are the ONE AND ONLY known and proven aphrodisiac! A recent double-blind study in the New England Journal of Medicine compared the effectiveness of getting your house painted in designer colors versus diamonds, furs, new cars and a shopping trip to Saks 5th Avenue. ?Believe me, we were as suprised as anybody! Who knew that just getting house repainted could have such a salutary effect on the average husband?s sex life??, said Dr. Sanjay Homanahomana of John Hopkins University. ?We believe that this is just a reinforcement of research being done recently on the association of smell and sexual attraction.? added Dr. Homanahomana. Guys, if you?re married you know that Sweetest Day is right around the corner, maybe there is a birthday coming up, or just surprise your loved one. Do yourself a favor and get your painting done today
