The Power of a Couple Minutes

If you want to improve the look of your home, you do not need endless free time to do it. Many ideas you can use to enhance your home only take a couple moments, if done on a consistent basis. Keep a small journal of ideas you would like to implement in your home. On a day where you have a few hours to fix something up, your notebook will save you the trouble of figuring out what to do or how to do it. A second suggestion: we spend so much time every day cleaning things that will have to be cleaned again tomorrow or next week. Each day, take a few minutes to take care of something you will not have to worry about again for a month or two. After just a few days of this, you will love how neat and structured your home feels! You can also take a few minutes each day to learn new home decorating techniques. Use the Internet or some magazines, and see if something catches your eye. Each one of us can have a beautiful, clean house: all it takes is a couple of extra minutes each day.

Steps to Building a Wreath

A lovely wreath on your door will tell visitors to your home something about you before they even step inside. There are many ways to be creative when you make a wreath: the combinations of colors, shapes, and themes or styles lead to endless possibilities. To make a basic wreath, procure some silk flowers and a foam ring from a craft store or shopping center. Take the flowers and cut off the stems about one inch from the calyx, or bottom of the flower. Then push the stems of each flower into the ring. Strategically place them so that they are close enough to cover up the foam, but not so close that they look bunched or crushed. Your wreath will last a very long time if you use a hot glue gun to add small amounts of glue where the base of the flower touches the ring. Vines or other standard greenery can be used to add a festive flare. Color coordination can be used to match the seasons, or if you like a natural look, any variety of flower colors will work. To finish, tie a string around your wreath and hang it on a small nail in your front door.

Drying and Preserving Flowers: The Basics





Many special occasions come with flowers, and preserving those flowers is a wonderful way to have a memento of that special day. Because flowers wilt within 2 to 3 weeks (and sometimes closer to 2 to 3 days), you will need to dry them once they are done being displayed. There are two very simple and basic ways to dry flowers. One way is to attach a string around your flowers and hang them upside down until they have dried completely. You will need to dry them in a place with little moisture and light to get the maximum beauty preserved within your flowers. Once your flowers are dried, you will want to place them in a display case or shadowbox so they do not get damaged by touch. Another great technique for preserving a flower is to press it-but keep in mind that the end product will be flat. Since this process does not work very well with bigger or rounder flowers, consider pressing the flower’s petals rather than the whole flower; with small, delicate flowers, pressing yields very pretty results.

Making Sure Your Plants Get the Right Amount of Water

Though you do not have to have a green thumb in order to keep a home plant alive, it is good to know how much water intake is necessary to sustain them. It is all too easy to douse our plants with too much water. Excessive water drains nutrients your plant needs from the soil. Root rot is another common ailment when using too much water because the plant is sitting in water constantly. A great solution to keep your plants healthy and well watered is to look in your home decor gardening section; they will have a lot of plant waterers. These rather simple mechanisms are regulated by air pressure within the soil; water is naturally drawn from the bulb into the soil when it starts to get dry.
