My Daily Nourishment

When it comes to house decor, most people choose to overlook the stairway. It is a functional item in a house and not much thought goes into making it look better than the materials that have gone into creating it. Whether you use a meaningful piece of art or wrought iron stair railing by Indital, the stairway offers many design possibilities.

Flooring

If the stairway is bare, a first instinct might be to add carpeting or some kind of fabric floor covering to the stairs. This prevents the slips or falls that can sometimes happen when there is nothing on the stairs to create traction. Most of the time, flooring is installed on stairs in the same way that is is applied to floors. An underlayment is placed down first and the carpet is placed on top of the underlayment. The carpet will have to be secured in place with glue or some other substance. (more…)

Spontaneity keeps a person young, and when it comes to your living spaces or even your work space, upgrading the decor is a great way to breathe new life into an old environment. Most of the decor used in a home or work area is relatively affordable to replace, and more expensive items — such as lighting fixtures or elaborate wall treatments — can be spaced out in order to not take too big of a chunk out of your budget. Small spaces in particular might benefit from changing the decor, since looking at the same windows and walls can be quite boring after a while. Even a few little changes can make a big difference. And if you want to create a stunning look that is both elegant and unique, consider beads. (more…)

It’s a rare occurrence in this day and age to have a haven of land around your home that you can call your own.

Great Outdoor Cookouts in an Outdoor Kitchen

An outdoor kitchen allows you to host fantastic garden parties and family cookouts, all the while being with your guests and not running in and out of the house. A great outdoor cooking island would include a large grill, sink, small refrigerator, ice maker, counter space and drawers for utensils. Stainless steel appliances would be preferred by most people who usually do a lot of entertaining outdoors.  (more…)

However much you may love your park home, there might inevitably come a time when you decide you need to sell it for one reason or another.

Here are a few points to think about.

Initial appearances

People sometimes confuse this with the idea that someone is going to see your property for the first time when walking around it or during a casual drive past. (more…)

It’s astounding how little accidents can sometimes have life-changing consequences. One misstep, a turn taken a bit too soon and too sharp, a short fall with long-term ramifications—life is filled with overcommitments and brutally hectic scheduling that can cause great distraction, injury or worse. Doing several things at once has become so commonplace that few people ever offer true focus to any one task. Whether eating and driving, texting and driving, looking back whilst walking, carrying too much on the run, there are so many ways in which divided attention could prove injurious or fatal. No one wants to think about the fragility of life but it can be very important to just take some time to slow down. Once done, it should be quite clear the ways in which accidents can happen, and can be avoided.   (more…)
