Have You Been to Italy??





Under the Tuscan Sun

Italy has become a popular vacation destination for many people. Italy has so much to offer from excellent food and wine to beautiful scenery and historical significance. Regardless of why you travel to Italy, many people say the same thing and that is that they fall in love with the country. Apparently, the food is absolutely fantastic, and wine is paired perfectly with every meal. The sights are breathtaking, and the people are amicable and enjoy showing tourists around their country. Most people would agree that once their vacation is over, they are not ready to come home. This is why many people decide to bring Italy into their own home. Tuscan decor is very popular not only with the wealthy but with everyone.

Achieving that Tuscan look can seem expensive and overwhelming but all it takes is a little creativity to be able to feel like Italy every time you enter your home. There are a plethora of bright colors and themes that will give your home that Tuscan feel. Using rock and dark colored woods within your home can help to bring the Tuscan look together. High vaulted ceilings are also a signature of Tuscany along with rock pillars. Now, we aren't trying to get too crazy here so we can try to achieve the look we want by having the right home accessories. The Tuscan style can be relaxing and elegant at the same time. It’s all in how you decorate. Choose dark colors when picking furniture such as dark reds or dark browns or leather. It is also essential to choose elegant fixtures that will help to bring the style together such as chandeliers, mirrors, and pictures/paintings.



So, where you go to find these styles? You could get online and order these items, but you never know exactly what condition the item will arrive in until you see it at your home. This is why it is vital to actually physically go to a furniture store so that you can visualize what these items look like in a room or on the wall. It is important to see these items to scale.

The Home Office - Do You Work from Home?





In Home Office - Do You Work From Home?

Many people nowadays have in-home offices. At home, offices are not only essential for some people because they provide a space for them to do work, but they also offer a tax break at the end of the year. If you conduct a certain number of hours of work at home and you have an actual office, then you fall within the guidelines to receive the tax break. Many people work from home now. Some people sell diet pills, makeup, body wraps, candles, and hair products just to name a few, and are very successful at doing so. This means that they conduct a lot of their workday from the comforts of their own home. They are usually sitting behind a computer doing this. Some people are also fortunate enough to have jobs that they can do from home while working for a large corporation or company. Not everyone conducts all their business from home though. Some people such as lawyers, marketing agencies, and engineers, just to name a few, spend a lot of time conducting business in an office or outside of the home, but have a lot of things to do on their own computer when they do finally get home. Teachers fall into this category as well. Regardless of what grade level you are teaching, a lot of your work is done from home. When teaching at the college level if you are a part-time adjunct then you do not have an office or a computer of your own. Therefore, you end up spending more time working while you are at home then when you are actually on campus. For people like this, it is essential to have a computer and an area that can accommodate all your needs.

Office Furniture for the Home

If you have a computer at home, you probably have a computer desk and computer chair. If you spend a lot of time working on the network from home, it is essential to make sure that you have an office that accommodates all your needs. You need a computer desk large enough to not only fit your computer, printer, and computer screen, but also a desk large enough to house files and folders, or speakers, or just provide enough room to be able to have a notepad for taking notes. Not all computer desks are the same just like not all computer chairs are the same. The chair is just as important as the desk especially if you spend a lot of time on it. If you have back problems, it is essential to choose a computer chair that is comfortable and offers the type of support you need for sitting for long periods of time.

What does it take to get a good night's sleep?





Are You Getting a Restful Night Sleep?

You may think that you are getting a restful night sleep. However, this may not actually be the case. If you find yourself groggy, tired, irritable, or with back or neck pain throughout the day, then it is possible you are not resting well at night. The problem is that so many of us suffer from this ailment that we do not realize that we are not sleeping well, and it has become the norm for us at night. We also tend to contribute our back and neck aches to other things that we do throughout the day. The problem is that so many of us do not realize that we are not getting a good night sleep, so we just walk around irritable and agitated throughout most of the day. Sometimes we do not even consider that we may not be getting a good night’s rest.

What Could Be the Problem?

The problem with not getting a good night’s rest could possibly be that you need a new mattress. You may not even realize that your bed is not giving you the support that you need while you sleep. Mattresses tend to break down gradually. Therefore we do not notice that they are no longer sufficient in providing support. You are unable to see the springs on the inside of your bed, so you do not know that they have become misshapen and lost their resilience. This is what causes you to have a restless night sleep. Just upgrading your mattress are changing out for a new one can do wonders for the type of rest that you get at night. It will be a noticeable automatic change when you get a new mattress. You will wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Your back and neck will also benefit from changing out to a new mattress. You will be amazed at the results.

DO you Have Unused Space in Your Home?





Do You Have an Open Space in Your Home That You Don’t Know What to Do with?

So many of us have little nooks and crannies in our home, and we have no idea what to do with them. Whether you have an old house or a new home, whoever designed the place had an idea of how the spaces would be used. For example, in my home, I have an area that is off to the left side of my living room that is apparently supposed to be an area for a large entertainment center. Nowadays most of us just mount our flat screen televisions on the wall which is exactly where mine is, above the fireplace, so the area that should hold the tv is just an awkward space in my living room. My house is only 12 years old, but it is evident that whoever designed my home probably had a large entertainment center and wanted to make sure to have an alcove for it.

What to Do with That Space

My husband and I thought about filling the space with a large saltwater aquarium, but then we thought about the reality of actually caring for a large saltwater aquarium and decided that it would probably not be for us. Plus, when we decided to buy a different place, we may not have anywhere to put a large saltwater aquarium. Since my husband and I do a lot of research work, we decided to turn that space into a reading nook. It was quite simple actually. All it required is a beautiful, comfortable reading chair with a side table and a lamp. Not only is it functional but also very stylish. We chose a chair that would draw attention due to its circular shape and visual appeal. We get many compliments on this area that used to be an awkward eyesore and are living room.
