I've never owned a house and not until August had I even been able to completely decorate my whole room. But when I buy a house I am definitely going to look into these tiles from Moving Color. The tiles are "Temperature Reactive" which means when the hot water of a shower hits them they change color like you are pressing down on the screen of an LCD. It is amazing unique and makes beautiful patterns. We can all use more things to help us wake up in the morning!
This Decoration Monday, I will share with you an idea that I have had for my own room swirling in my head for about a year. It is to put about about 5 or six clocks and have times from different cities around the world! It reminds me most of old newsrooms and almost opens up the world from your own room! Another great place for this would be in an office, if you have one, unlike me :-(, whether you would use the clocks for your business or not they look great on almost any wall!
If this idea interests you, I suggest using very simple, straight-lined clocks and also using the same clocks if this will go in an office. If you want to have it in a living room or a fun room you could use clocks from the parts of the world or clocks that have the style of that area. This clock that I featured is a atomic clock that is available from http://www.zocalo-imports-furniture.com but there are many very good looking clocks at places like target that will do for this project!
One thing that many do not know about Bonsai (pronounced bones-eye) Trees is that they are just that...they are stunted growth TREES! They require lots of care, a artistic trimming but when done right are be a huge talking point to anyone who would see them in your house. Thats why I will kick off this new weekly article (Decoration Monday) with Bonsai Trees. While they usually do require daily attention they are one of the prettiest and most expressive plants or trees that you can own. In fact, small starter Bonsais are only about $20 or if you want to go with an aged, carefully taken care of plant like the one above, they are available from http://www.junipertrees.com/juniper-bonsai-tree.html for $225.00.
