Fortunately, for those of us who are decorating challenged, the world?s biggest decorating mistake is easily fixable.
Have you ever walked into a home with beautiful furniture, but still something was missing?
Usually it?s the artwork. People always forget the artwork, or if they do remember the art they buy only one piece for over the sofa.
Some of the wealthiest people I know do not buy any or enough artwork!
A room isn?t finished without nice framed art prints.
It?s kind of like putting on a favorite dress and forgetting your shoes!!
Don?t
be afraid to buy and hang art on your walls.
You can find framed and unframed art prints for any budget.
Even the big discount stores offer some beautiful pieces these days.
The biggest mistake in hanging artwork is placing the piece too high up on the wall.
The rule of thumb is that the artwork should be directly in the line of vision of the person who will be looking at it.
This is especially true of living room pieces hung over the sofa.
Place the art directly at eye level with someone sitting across from the sofa.
Another mistake is not anchoring the artwork to the furniture beneath it.
Remember aline the artwork with what?s under it, and place it no more than 12 inches from the desk or chair under it.
Spend the money on nice prints to look at.
You can even find beautiful art for your walls online, at a price you can afford.

Why Teak is the Best Wood for Outdoor Furniture
by: Sophia Kaif
Outdoor furniture supplement the beauty and elegance of your home garden. Being a natural product, wood is considered to be the best material for constructing garden furniture.

Outdoor Wood Furniture ? Check The Wood Species Before Purchasing
Outdoor Wood Furniture ? Check The Wood Species Before Purchasing
by: Malcolm D Kay
Not too long ago, the vast majority of outdoor furniture was all made of teak. Teak has proved to be an ideal lumber species for outdoor furniture, due to its high durability, ease of working with machine tools, its low coefficient of radial and tangential expansion (which reduces potential problems in twisting, or swelling when wet), it's attractive colour and good working properties.
But such widespread use of teak, including for marine decking, has come at a considerable environmental cost.
The once great forests of South East Asia have been decimated to the extent that legally logged teak is now only available in very limited quantities, which is reflected in its high price.
But unfortunately, illegal logging is still rampant and in many areas of South East Asia, ensuring its continuing supply to the furniture trade.

Bathroom Vanities: Let Your Powder Room Vanity Reflect Shameless Good Taste In Bath Design
Bathroom Vanities: Let Your Powder Room Vanity Reflect Shameless Good Taste In Bath Design
by: Kimberly Lawn
Prolonged gazing into one?s bathroom mirror used to be considered quite a vice. For vanity, it is said, is the step-sister of pride. With nothing more to the bathrooms of yesteryear than a sink, toilet, and mirror, we were offered little choice about where our focus should fall once through the bathroom door. And while Narcissus brought his own demise through excessive "self-reflection," we can probably be forgiven for rendering the bathroom mirror as our observation point of choice.
The Afterthought
After all, the bathroom used to be the afterthought of home building and design. Bathroom design kept to the basics: A toilet, sink-cabinet combo, and perhaps some tile. Add some color matching, a couple of wall hangings, and of course, the mirror, and voila: your task was complete!
In hindsight, designing yesterday?s bathroom...
