Accents For The Home

If you are thinking about updating or changing the appearance of one or more rooms within your home, one inexpensive way could be to just change the lighting.

Accent a painting on the wall, create a focal point, add drama or alittle romance or maybe you just want to add more light for reading.

There are many fixtures available to create the atmosphere you want. I found Back Bay Lighting online, which offers all that you may be looking for and then some. Their prices are reasonable and offer a 125% price match guarantee with free shipping on all products. Don't forget you can also change the appearance outside your home with outdoor lighting, emphasizing your landscape, front door or that Christmas Holiday decor.

Back Bay Lighting provides advice on their site too. Some topics included are: Lighting Basics, Style, Tips & Trends, Room Design, Energy Saving Lighting and a Ceiling Fan Buying Guide. This would be a good place to start if you have any questions or want ideas for your design.The advice is free, so why not take advantage of the help?

You can shop for your home by brand name, price, style or item. You can watch videos. They also offer products that provide Energy Efficient Lighting to help reduce costs, home accents,ceiling lights etc...

If this is of interest to you, check them out.

Decorative Tiles For Your Home

Have you ever considered using decorative tiles in your home? There are many creative uses for them. I have seen beautiful Kitchen backsplash tile, fireplaces outlined with tile, walkways highlighted with tile, kickbacks of stairs decorated with tile, tiles hung on walls and even tile murals in entrance ways.

Decorative tile provides added value to your home and uniqueness. I have found a place that is quite impressive to purchase unique tiles for a variety of uses. Jerusalem Pottery offers hand painted tiles that are glazed and fired to last a lifetime. They have been in the decorative tile business for 85 years and are one of the last remaining places in the world where you can find Armenian ceramic tile.

Aremenian tile is a style of hand painted pottery and ceramic tile making founded in Jerusalem in the early twentieth century. Although you can find Aremenian tile in other places, they are usually imitations, lack the quality and are mass produced. One way to tell the difference between an original and an imitation, are the brush strokes on the back of the piece. An original will also have the signature of the Karakashian family on the back.

At Jerusalem Pottery you will find an assortment of beautiful decorative tiles, unique designs, themes for murals and the classic Arememian designs. Their tiles are richly colored and will stand out in any room.

If you are thinking of adding tiles to your home, check out their site before purchasing elsewhere.

You're Never Too Old...

Ok, so at age 50... well almost, I am considering doing something I have always wanted to do. You may be surprised at what I'm about to say, but I have always wanted to try paintball.

My friends who have gone, always come back from paintballing with great stories and share how much fun it is. I guess I still have a bit of tomboy in me from when I was little.

I'm told I do need to wear protective paintball clothing because when getting hit with paintballs, they hurt. Well, I do not intend to get hit by any paintballs..ha

My son and a group of his friends are getting together to reserve a paintball field, so I asked if I can join them. I am trying to talk my son's girlfriend into going with me.

He just visited the Ultimate Paintball site and purchased this Tippmann 98. He always has to have the best when doing something. He said he'd rather buy his paintball gear than rent it. This way he'll have it for another time instead of spending money 'renting' paintball equipment. Makes sense...and it'll save him money in the long run.

I don't know if I'm going to purchase a Tippmann also or other paintball equipment. It might be best if I rent until after I try paintball first, but they are selling a Gen-X GXG Stealth Goggles Paintball Mask for only
$18.95. That's something I'd rather have then rent a mask so many other people have worn.

Ultimate Paintball seems to offer the best prices and gives you free shipping, so if you're in the market for any paintballs or paintball gear, go take a look and save yourself some money.

Wall Clocks Need Feeding?

When I'm feeling out of sorts, I find to absorb my negative energy, I am either cleaning the house or redecorating. Today was one of those days and I wanted to spruce up the house on this dreary, snowy day. Since I have been in the market for a wall clock for my living room, I took today to find one that will fit in perfectly with my "tuscan" home decor. I never realized the huge assortment of wall clocks available to me, but I believe I finally found one at an affordable price.



It's a Seth Thomas Naples wall clock. What an appropriate name, right? Brown rattan and black wire with decorative scrollwork. It actually matches a large painting of a Tuscan scene I have hanging on the wall. This small purchase will make me feel so much better and at the same time, have my living room finally pulled together.

I found this piece at 1-800-4clocks.com. I was impressed with the inventory presented, which included Howard Miller Clocks.

While on their site, I clicked over to their blog. I am addicted to blogs! I found many interesting and informative posts related to clocks. One post especially caught my eye, which is why I named this post... Wall Clocks Need Feeding. The post was titled 'Grandfather Clock Care and Feeding: Wall Clocks and Mantel Clocks too!'
I was not aware that grandfather clocks or even wall clocks need regular maintenance and oiling (feeding). This was an informative post which listed the time intervals for maintenance and explained how feeding will help your clock keep accurate time.

Save When Shopping Online

I recently posted about shopping online and using online coupons. Below is one comment received:

From anonymous boxer~
Hello.... I'm here from Beth's "community". I am a huge online shopper and take pride in how much I can get done with a few clicks of the mouse. I DIDN'T know of these online coupons.

Well, with the holidays approaching, I thought I'd write another post letting you in on a site that will save you money using online coupons.

In my town here in New Jersey, you can't even go into a store without already seeing Christmas decorations or related items for sale. It's not even Halloween yet! I must admit that I've already started my shopping (I'm almost done) and saved myself some money (and time) using these coupons.

At couponchief.com you will find up to date coupon codes and all the resources necessary to save yourself money and time. Just think how you won't be standing in long lines, surrounded by cranky shoppers. This will allow you to do what you want, when everyone else is sitting in traffic and spending hours looking for the best deal or sale to save money.

There are literally hundreds of stores at couponchief to choose from. Are you looking for electronics? Try Best Buy. Their coupons range from 5-20% off to $50 off selected digital cameras. If you're looking for a variety of items and one stop shopping, I always shop at Target. I can get anything from books, pet supplies,clothes, CD/DVD's, linens, toys, food or bath and beauty products. The coupons they offer range from offers of up to 15% off to $5 off a purchase of $50 or even free shipping.

Happy Shopping!
