The Home Book Goes Beyond Sitting On Your Coffee Table, It Inspires!

Emily — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 18:30:17 +0000

My family and I moved into a our first built home a year ago. Although it was nicely built and brand, spanking new, it had little color, zero decoration and desperately lacked style. So, for a year now, I have felt completely overwhelmed and uninspired to do anything about it until I received a copy of the The Home Book: Creating a Beautiful Home of Your Own, The Ultimate Guide to Home Decorating from House Beautiful Magazine, and now I feel inspired!

The first thing I noticed and loved about this book was the 500 beautiful color photographs. You could literally spend hours just looking at the photos. There are a multitude of styles photographed, from rustic to modern; each one full of ideas. You can’t help but feel immediately inspired once you open the book.

The Home Book is essentially divided into three parts. “Understand Your Home” teaches you how to work with or improve your home’s existing architecture and layout. “Elements of Design” gives you decorating concept advice on color, texture and pattern. “Room by Room” goes into furnishings, finishes and those minor details that complete a room.

Throughout its 464 pages, you will also find insider advice on design, decorating tips on all rooms (including indoor-outdoor rooms), walk through sample design projects, layout tips and more.

The Home Book retails for around $40.00, which isn’t bad considering its huge size and quality. It’s one of those books you can put on the coffee table, and pick up over and over again for new ideas. It would also make a great housewarming or Christmas gift!

Overall, I love The Home Book and recommend it for those suffering from bland design like me. It is seriously packed full of information and photos that can help any size house or room. Now that I’m all inspired and energized, it’s time for me to get to work!

Dirt Candles Are Pure, Bold and Eco-Friendly - Win One!

Emily — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 14:00:29 +0000

If you are looking for a nice gift that is unique and quite reasonably priced then look on Celery Street. They have a great variety of items that are intriguing and eco-friendly. I recently came across the Dirt Candles that they sell and was very interested in what type of candle is made from the Earth itself.

You are probably curious, like I was, as to why someone would choose dirt. These candles are formulated from the beginning to the end with natural things. They use a soy wax made with organic ingredients and all natural cotton wicks. There are essential oils that help produce bold, yet comforting scents. Plus they burn for over 60 hours! I choose the Heart Breaker candle which combined berry, rose, thyme, geranium, orange and herbs for a delicious aroma that filled our home.

Besides being friendly to the environment the Dirt Candles are made with full biodegradable products and are soot-less. Even the containers are recycled glass. I’ve noticed many candle-makers are starting to consider things other than scents when producing products.

Most people would pass these candles by if they were looking through a catalog or browsing online. The name attracts your attention, but since most people look for candles based on scents, they may bypass this product based on the name alone. I’m glad I had the opportunity to try one and this will certainly be a must-have in our home.

Celery Street is offering Props & Pans readers a free candle. Visit their blog and leave a comment telling them which scent of Dirt Candles you would choose. Their offer is open until December 9, 2008.
