Accessories That’s Just Dandy
November 14th, 2008
No matter how grand the idea for decorating is, the fine details, the accessories, always makes it a winner or a lamentable looser.
I love to have fine accessories. To me, they make a world of difference. Its like wearing a beautiful expensive dress, but using mis-matched shoes, totally out-of-line handbag, with a bad hair day, and believe me, no one will notice that your dress is beautiful; forget expensive.
Give some time to getting the right accessories that will make home really dandy, and as I do, you will just sit and be soothed by the beauty that surrounds you. I sincerely believe that home should be an escape from all the madness that characterizes life. It should be beautiful, cozy, peaceful and utterly relaxing. Of course the personalities that occupy it makes a world of difference, so make sure there is a personality to match.
But do make your home dandy with great accessories that does not have to cost a mint.

Oh come on, that has happened to all of us except the conscientious frugal ones. But how does it make us feel afterward? I can tell you how it has made me feel. Irresponsible and sometimes not even satisfied with my purchase.
For making your home dandy, that is an error that we should avoid at all cost, since home decor are not at all inexpensive. So what is the point here. Knowing exactly what are the things that will make the home dandy is key to satisfaction. Know what are your home picks.
Spend time, as long as it takes, doing the research, visiting the shops, comparing prices, targeting sales, and of course, being buck sure that that is the color, the decor, the everything that you want. Because when its applied, installed, fitted, whatever has to be done, there’s no turning back.

One of the most popular places in the home is the bathroom. I absolutely love the beautiful, cozy and yet intimate feel I get from one that is done tastefully.
With a seven year old boy and a husband who’s always busy and on the go, the bathroom must be practical, but stylish. I love blue and white. As I said before, there is a psychology in colors. Blue, which is referred to as a “cool color” is one of my favourite colors, and because its the bathroom we are talking about, I always feel white has its place there, since it signifies purity. I’m not making a religion about this, or even regarding it as very important. Its subjective and a matter of personal feeling.
Well I decided to use blue and white as my theme colors, throwing in some yellow. Of course, I use various shades of blue so as not to make it boring.
So if you are wondering what colors to use in the bathroom this holiday, how about my favourite. Blue, white and yellow. Use the yellow to accentuate your decor, so you can have a yellow vase, and blue flowers, or vise versa, hang blue and yellow towels, yellow tie-backs on the blue shower curtain and so on. Hope you get the picture. Whatever you do, just make it dandy all over.
