Branches! These natural beauties make for the easiest holiday decor that anyone can do!<br />
Gather as many or a little as you can find and you can create a simple yet stunning centerpiece in your home. Place a few in a tall vase, and voila! Leave them bare, or add a few ornaments. This simple arrangement can be a fabulous alternative to a traditional Christmas tree if you don't have the space.<br />
Spend a little time spray painting the branches you collect. Any color, or metallic can really brighten up the look! Ornaments, stockings, garlands, and even jewels can find a home for the holidays on your branches. Just look at a few of these creative and simple ways to display branches.<br />

If your pillows don't have removable covers, don't worry, you can buy just the pillow cover (without the insert) to fit over your existing pillows. And then when the season is done, just unzip, fold and store away for next year!<br />
<br />
Here are just a few of the pillow covers available. Some can even be monogrammed for even more "J - O - Y"<br />

While the miniature trees are cute, they aren't your only option.<br />
Clear some wall space and create an artistic tree outline. You can use twine, ribbon, painters tape, tree lights, or just about anything you can think of to create this! Check out these great pictures of what people have come up with.<br />

Another fantastic idea for a wall tree is to use a chalkboard and draw your tree. If you can't find a chalkboard large enough, then they are super easy to make with a sheet of plywood or canvas cloth and some chalkboard paint. What I love about this idea is that it can become interactive with your friends. Anyone who comes over can draw an ornament on the tree! Then you have a tree filled with fun memories! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When the season is over, wipe off and use throughout the year as a ever-changing art piece, notepad, or whatever! Or, if you don't want the pressure, you can slide under the bed for next year :)</div>

No worries, Ellenor has some tips on easy, quick decorating that can have a big impact on your space...<br />
<br />

Paper bags, holiday paper, or even just white paper can make a huge difference to your space. Bookshelves create a great design opportunity in any space, and if not done carefully they can be an eyesore. Covering your books will instantly make your shelves seem more chic, well designed, and will mask any faux pas!<br />

<br />
<br />
Covering just a few or all of your books you will create a big change in your space. By eliminating all of the contrasting colors of the books, you create a uniform and neutral backdrop that will allow the holiday decor you place in front of it to really shine!<br />
<br />
You can also cover just a few of your books and place them in a way that will create a holiday shape, or outline. Just a few covered books can create the shape of Christmas tree on your bookshelf!<br />

And if the idea of breaking out the tape and scissors scares you away, you can cheat a bit by just slipping a piece of paper around the spine of the book. That's how the bookshelf tree was done in the photo above! It's a huge time saver and still looks great!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

But I promise your point will still come across.</span></div>

A throw blanket (or two) that represents one (or the second) color of the team can be easily worked into a room without throwing off any working color scheme. A framed photo of the coach, player, ticket, or stadium can be an accent on your bookshelf. A game ball, token from a game, or even a bobble head could work as a bookend. Coasters, picture frames, dish towels, or a single pillow can all be subtle nods to your favorite team. The idea is to use them thoughtfully and sparingly to keep the tribute subtle. Too many of these objects or too blatant of a display will make your room look like shrine.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #000099;">Vintage items</span></i></b> are a great way to show your love for the team because people tend to "respect" vintage items over newer items. This work for you because they won't automatically pin you as a die-hard fan... and a tacky one at that. There are tons of vintage posters, postcards, souvenirs, or even vintage "how to play the game" books that you can use in your home (use them as a whole on your bookshelf or take out and frame individual pages). Check out local garage sales, antique shops, and online shops like Ebay and Etsy. </span><br />

Overall, the designers stepped up to the challenge and created looks that were really going somewhere... others should have been going home to change. <a href="http://www.mylifetime.com/shows/project-runway/season-10/designers/fabio-costa" target="_blank">Fabio Costa</a> created a so-so look, not really great (other than the fabulous print) but not really bad either. Still, he ended up in the bottom three which means that we can now turn this outfit into a room! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So here's the look that Fabio created for his woman on the go...</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgONEga-nojiosOk9ivgjSi0AX_Jt-6AWp04q0OqLaf_RqkkLjp5MLs1BhVr-iySar499CsTMWqNNF1NWtYuc4nneaLjyb2wsENLAwUJCB4sPcCqXX3J_IPZHlVMlG_T0n82DsY68-noQw6/s1600/Episode+4-Fabio.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgONEga-nojiosOk9ivgjSi0AX_Jt-6AWp04q0OqLaf_RqkkLjp5MLs1BhVr-iySar499CsTMWqNNF1NWtYuc4nneaLjyb2wsENLAwUJCB4sPcCqXX3J_IPZHlVMlG_T0n82DsY68-noQw6/s400/Episode+4-Fabio.jpg" width="268" /></a></div>
<br />
And now, lets go to the lounge for happy hour! The chic simplicity of this outfit can be turned into a perfect lounge to catch up with your friends and a drink after a busy day.<br />
In this space, place 4 high-back, comfy chairs around the cocktail table to create an inviting and intimate place for conversation. Then throw in a little pouf for additional seating or propping your feet up, and add a couple of "wow" pieces to give this space the chic look that every lounge needs.<br />
Just like with the patterned dress in the outfit above, the rug is the central element in the room to provide the pattern and pizazz. Furniture with very structured, clean lines give this room a similar aesthetic that Fabio was after. Modern accessories, also with very linear characteristics are the perfect finishing touch to this room.<br />
Simplicity is key for this outfit and for this room. Pure function, but with with the chicest of style!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">With last season's winner, Anya Ayoung-Chee, as their client these designers should have been able to create a look that was fresh, relaxed, and sexy. Unfortunately this dress missed the mark in both identifying with their client and with execution. However pull the same basic ideas from the design of the dress, such as sleek and edgy with a touch of glam and you can put together a pretty good room. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Streamlined furniture and monochromatic materials create the same basic aesthetic of the dress's design. Details such as the blown glass lamp and gold accents give just the small bits of glamor to the room to keep it from being too boring. Variations in the same main color also help keep away the blah factor. Leather and industrial elements such as the design of the bar cart and details found in the drum side table, give the edge to the room that the studded leather belt had tried to give in the dress. A palest pink on the walls in a very high sheen would be the perfect way to finish this room.</span></div>

The variety of candy from <a href="http://www.dylanscandybar.com/" target="_blank">Dylan's Candy Bar</a> provided the designers with good n' plenty to work with in way of color and textures and many of the designers were able to use their creative abilities to create "Candy Couture,"as the great Michael Kors stated. However some of the designs were a bit sour.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a href="http://www.mylifetime.com/shows/project-runway/season-10/designers/buffi-jashanmal" target="_blank">Buffi Jashanmal</a> is a sweetheart, but her design last night was a bit skittles.... oops, I mead scattered. I love her vibrant personality and ideas, but it seems like she just couldn't channel them into one coherent look. But with a little bit of editing, this outfit could be a great room. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8PPMI2p9SiQfutTxVnnlq8TR1A09b_f38y2YmAZyH2yAFJNi51_pKBvIPCelC7S-wav3Z6_xgABpplPMOA-KnDaS6-u6I1mmVoT8-eGIx0BNYlBCH8HLOU1PwCnaH0_L_mnASZhbFk5YB/s1600/week2-buffi.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8PPMI2p9SiQfutTxVnnlq8TR1A09b_f38y2YmAZyH2yAFJNi51_pKBvIPCelC7S-wav3Z6_xgABpplPMOA-KnDaS6-u6I1mmVoT8-eGIx0BNYlBCH8HLOU1PwCnaH0_L_mnASZhbFk5YB/s400/week2-buffi.jpg" width="265" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Take these girly hues and feminine flair and you've got yourself a crazy girly room that's full of fun. Like with last week's design, the key to making this outfit into a successful room is using your pops of color wisely. A neutral background on your walls and floor will allow you to be more bold with your color choices. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">To keep the feminine touch about the room, select furniture pieces that have soft curves. Curves are easily read as feminine, as is a skirt on a sofa... especially when in pink! A lightweight curtain will also help soften the harsher colors of the room. And to keep it from getting out of control, keep the majority of the pieces in solid colors, but you should have one piece that pulls them all together. Here, the curtain is that piece in the room, but the rug also helps without adding any additional pattern. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">While this room is not a relaxing room, it is definitely a room to lift your spirits... or give you a sugar rush. </span></div>

Another season of <i>Turn an Outfit Into a Room</i>! That's right design lovers check in with Ellenor weekly to see a fashion design transform into an interior design.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">However this season will be a real challenge in that the transformation will come from one of the not so successful designs from the runway. We'll see how something that doesn't work as an outfit can be re-imagined to work as room. So let's get started of the premier of...</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">On last night's premier of </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a href="http://www.mylifetime.com/shows/project-runway" target="_blank">Project Runway, season 10</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a href="http://www.mylifetime.com/shows/project-runway/season-10/designers/kooan-kosuke" target="_blank">Kooan Kosuke</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> made us all laugh with his quirky and bright personality. But when it came to his runway design his bright personality and bold designs fell short.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8OlOWRH8RPVitqUsWZP9EYN8XQUvqjGq0VN3ktJcb89ivIk1hevf9PJcusyqZDCyxdyr_zWL9-DmUz1ddRJ2vsqoQkLqbT-OHXyp1-CpYiEX1E4qMWjU8xJkM41-6HPnExnuXZa0j4aKK/s1600/pr10-ep1-rr-kooan-f1_0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8OlOWRH8RPVitqUsWZP9EYN8XQUvqjGq0VN3ktJcb89ivIk1hevf9PJcusyqZDCyxdyr_zWL9-DmUz1ddRJ2vsqoQkLqbT-OHXyp1-CpYiEX1E4qMWjU8xJkM41-6HPnExnuXZa0j4aKK/s400/pr10-ep1-rr-kooan-f1_0.jpg" width="271" /></a></div>
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But take those same pops of color and funky patterns, shake them up, and lay them out in new way and you can come up with a room that is super cool and modern. The key is using the colors and patterns in a bunch of small doses with an underlying simple background. In this room the walls should be a simple white, and the floors would look best as a light stained wood. This creates a perfect backdrop to allow for bold colors and patterns.</span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Streamlined furniture and modern materials, such as metals and acrylic, help to punch this room up and achieve some of the futuristic accents that Kooan had in his design. While you may never see yourself walking down the street in this outfit, hopefully you would love hanging out in this modern, funky room.... Ellenor would!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: georgia;">Ready-made curtain panels can easily be purchased at most stores. They are an inexpensive way to help complete a room’s look. However, many ready-made curtains come in standard lengths, which don’t always work in your home. Adding a fabric to any curtain panel will not only add length to the panel, but will also add your own personal touch to them. Select a contrasting or coordinating fabric, solid or patterned, to go with the curtain panels you already have and help achieve the look you want and create your own custom curtains! </span></span></div>

<div style="font: 11.5px 'New Cicle'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="font: 14.0px SweetheartScript;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: georgia;">Materials Needed:</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: georgia;"> Store bought curtain panels, fabric of your choice, fusible fabric iron on, scissors, yardstick, iron, and curtain hardware</span></span></div>
<div style="font: 11.5px 'New Cicle'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>1. Before you get started, measure where your current curtain panels hang and then measure how much additional fabric you will need to add in order for them to just skim the floor. Typically, curtains should be mounted about halfway between the top of the window frame and the ceiling. However, with higher ceilings measure the distance above the window frame to the ceiling and then mount the curtains about 1/3 of that distance. </span></span></div>
<div style="font: 11.5px 'New Cicle'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>2. Shop for your fabric! The fabric can be added to either the top or the bottom of your existing panels. The directions given are for adding fabric to the bottom of the panels. As a rule of thumb, the darker fabric should be at the bottom to keep the curtains visually balanced. </span></span></div>
<div style="font: 11.5px 'New Cicle'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>3. Lay out your ready-made panels flat and then lay your selected fabric over these panels so that you can copy the width. Add a couple of inches at each edge so that you can fold over for a nice seam. Measure and cut the desired length as well, also leaving a few inches to fold over. </span></span></div>
<div style="font: 11.5px 'New Cicle'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>4. Place a strip of the fusible iron about an inch from the edge of the selected fabric, fold over about a half-inch of fabric, and iron the fabric together to create a hem. Do this all the way down each side of the fabric length-wise only.</span></span></div>
<div style="font: 11.5px 'New Cicle'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>5. Once the length of both sides of the fabric has been hemmed, position the panel onto the ready-made panel with about an inch of overlap. Once positioned, place your strip of iron-on between the fabrics and iron for about 10 seconds on each strip until you’ve adhered all of the fabric to the panel. </span></span></div>
<div style="font: 11.5px 'New Cicle'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>6. Once the fabric has been ironed onto the panel you should have a couple inches of fabric left over on each side. Cut off additional fabric on the ends so that about one inch remains</span></span></div>
<div style="font: 11.5px 'New Cicle'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>7. Again, lay down a strip of iron on fusible tape about an inch from the edge of the fabric, fold the edge over, and then iron to fuse fabric together. Do this on both ends and this will finalize all hemming. </span></span></div>
<div style="font: 11.5px 'New Cicle'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: georgia;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>8. Attach your new longer curtain panels to the curtain hardware and enjoy your custom curtains! </span></span></div>

Bookcases can be a blessing and a curse to the overall design of a room. A blessing because, when done properly, will add beauty and comfort to a room. A curse because, what is the “proper way?” Here are a few tips and tricks to arranging a beautiful bookcase and containing the clutter:</div>
<div>
<br />
1. Take account of what you have. If you don’t have a lot of books, plan on putting the books you have on the bottom shelves and leave the upper shelves for accessories. Bookcases should visually be heavier on the bottom and lighter on the top.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; color: #0000ee;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597732264522092818" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGzzwb-s3N6H6adsU7kzz_SIa43VQRsVhyphenhyphentpllNCJ0Dd_ZTLBr7g_ckTBl175eaMqUsGh6bWYOpZ0PeCsL4glhfLRuNdYkwIamBS9hiNl-A0ndaaorH4fPkcW3L5z2GpvdT43UFzQ4PODI/s200/rainbow-bookcase.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: right; height: 200px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; width: 194px;" /></span>2. Think about how you’ll use the bookcase. Arranging the books by genre, subject, or author may be the most useful. However, if the bookcase will be more of a visual piece, then arranging the books by color looks great. You can also do a combination of these techniques. Whatever is most useful to you and looks good!<br />
<br />
3. Start placing your books. Put your best looking books at eye level and try to hide the most ragged ones. Remove the dust covers (unless they are collectable) to display the books in all thier gorgeous glory. Sometimes books have beautiful leather and gold embossing which really add beauty and warmth to the bookcase.<br />
<br />
4. Paperbacks need a place too. Mix these in with hardbacks and don’t group too many of these together because they tend to all be a similar small size which does not fill up a shelf very well. Be mindful of book sizes when placing books on the shelves together and try not to put really tall books next to short ones.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; color: #0000ee;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597734446780184562" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZIpuQyV2nMqJPnQO4rtz6qfcovJz7GdaRw8wFhCaxkznSxUSVWupC-L70HpsOgR8QufJpI6_zwBgKYLF46GlLHdvoIVFbQz_RdZAI7LUmdwZ5budALwXzPghGhVXzXfO8uzHDdB0xNMbr/s200/bookshelves-6_300.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; float: left; height: 200px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 0px; width: 168px;" /></span>5. Mix up the orientation of the books. Place some upright and lay others on their side. These stacks of books can serve as ‘bookends’ to the rows.<br />
<br />
6. Don’t over crowd the shelves, leave a little bit of breathing room on each shelf. And never pile excess books, magazines, or papers on top of a row of books.<br />
<br />
7. Accessorize with some non-book items: picture frames and other knick-knacks work great as bookends, sitting on top of a stacked pile of books, and breaking up a long row of books. You can also hang a framed artwork over some of the shelves if you have enough space (or too much!)<br />
<br />
<div>
8. Put telephone books, loose papers or magazines out of site. Use nice looking magazine files or storage boxes to hide these items.</div>

So you just decided to have some friends over for the big game… or your house was voted as the place to be for the most important day of football. Either way, you've got to put together a fabulous football party in a short amount of time. Here are some quick tips to be on the winning team this year! <br />
Ready, set, go!<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">Get your roster and game time set! Study your playing field! </span><br />
Invite a fun and diverse group of friends and tell them all to arrive an hour before kick off time. But before that, make sure you have enough seats and space for everyone on your list. Since this party revolves around watching TV, you don't want anyone to be left without a seat. Then think about your layout... where will the food and drinks go? Make sure that they won't interfere with the view to the TV!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">Get your game plan ready! </span><br />
Decide if you will be providing all of the food or if this will be a team effort (aka, pot luck).<br />
If it’s a pot luck you should plan on the main dishes so that you are sure to be covered. Then send a quick request to your guests and ask them to tell you what they'll be bringing. Fill in any gaps as you hear back. <br />
If you'll be providing all the food, keep in mind that most people will still show up with something in hand. So have some extra bowls or platters ready. <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/photogallery/super-bowl-party?lpgview=thumb&showComments=true">For some great recipes, check these out!</a> <br />

<span style="font-style: italic;">Support your fans!</span><br />
By having a few other things going on during the game you are sure to involve all of your guests. But to keep the party from becoming too segregated into footballers and non, make sure the activities are still about the game… here are a few ideas:<br />
* Add in some extra excitement to the game by having some <a href="http://www.party411.com/PlanYourParty/Holiday/SuperBowl/SuperBowlGamesandActivities/tabid/6228/List/0/Default.aspx/PlanYourParty/Holiday/SuperBowl/SuperBowlGamesandActivities/tabid/6228/List/0/Default.aspx">fun bets</a> ready. Depending on your crowd, make them as silly or serious as you want! Keep it light though, no big money bets allowed! <br />
* Make some quick and easy team flags or <a href="http://fivejs.com/homemade-cheerleader-pom-poms/">pom-poms</a> for your guests to cheer on their team. They’ll get in the spirit faster than you can say “go team!”<br />
* Have a <a href="http://www.sheknows.com/food-and-recipes/articles/813200/super-bowl-party-game-super-bowl-bingo">football bingo</a> game ready for those that aren't super excited about the Super Bowl. Keeping an eye out for a crazy face painter, a green wig, or something else eccentric will keep them interested and involved in the party. <br />
* Remember the days of elementary school? A <a href="http://www.paperfootballzone.com/fold.html">paper football</a> game is fun too! Or if you have the space, go outside and play a quick game! <br />
<br />
Just remember not to force your guests into participating in these activities or let them interfere with the game watching... some people really just want to watch the game (really!). <br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">Be a good sport!</span><br />
Most importantly relax and have fun, if you are then your guests will be too!<br />
<br />
Hopefully these tips will help you and your guests have a SUPER time! <br />
<br />
Cheers!<br />

Now, when I say "pleasure" you much understand something about me... I am an organizational super fan! I was taught by the best, the organizational goddess herself... my mother. She molded me from a young age, even buying me an instructional "How to" children's book on organizing. At first I resisted... I fought it most of my life actually. It wasn't until I moved away that I realized (like most things she had taught me) that she was right. <br />
<br />
I have come to learn that the skill of organization is a learned behavior. If not taught and practiced, it will not come. Enter my good friend...<br />
<br />
My friend has many wonderful and outstanding qualities, organization is just not one of them. She works from home and was recently promoted, giving her many additional responsibilities and a large amount of paperwork to keep track of. With this promotion, she quickly realized that her "system" (or lack there of) would not support her increased workload. Knowing of my supreme skills (ahem, ahem) and of my crazy enjoyment of organizing, she came to me for help. <br />
<br />
When I asked her about her current "system," I was horrified to learn about the large basket where she aimlessly threw everything. I nearly cried. I agreed to get to work immediately.<br />
<br />
Below, you can read through how I was able to take her home office from scary to organized, and how you can do the same.<br />
<br />
What you'll need:<br />
A day of your time<br />
Ample space on the floor<br />
Lots and lots of Post-its<br />
Pen for Labeling (I'm obsessed with Sharpies, especially the colored ones)<br />
Paper Clips<br />
Binder Clips (or as my friend adorably called them, "munchies")<br />
Stapler<br />
<br />
1. Grab your scary stack of unorganized papers and sit on the floor with plenty of space around you. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM_gBKf_tokpMXzvo-PjrLGA3XOTVF8x_dOGdjx-WMsHDOsIlZqV20igmrlPoVydEk2qXai-ckGzhS4Q2_uEDZJxGmalsUwvHZTDUnHRGbErK0IZGrjproccjlF5KRlU1bjl0q9_X1D5Jn/s1600/scary+piles.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505702324627264034" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM_gBKf_tokpMXzvo-PjrLGA3XOTVF8x_dOGdjx-WMsHDOsIlZqV20igmrlPoVydEk2qXai-ckGzhS4Q2_uEDZJxGmalsUwvHZTDUnHRGbErK0IZGrjproccjlF5KRlU1bjl0q9_X1D5Jn/s320/scary+piles.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 240px;" /></a> <br />
2. Begin by going through the scary pile each item at a time. Sort everything into different groups by making piles on the floor. To start off, be as specific as you can with these groupings... its better to have more piles than less. Once you see what you have, and how much space each group takes up, then you can decide what groupings can be combined, or further separated. <br />
3. Stick a post-it on the top of each group/pile as you go labeling what it is. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNWw1NVugCJF2nIvrnvIbu_zPtcgGSL89sk1GFdhtHCr4gSiRLrZPUku_fAJKsIN09UYFJ5efpyqw2Zdb8c-5m_5gtS1ishlL8yDTnJ0D6LI37q2Hdw2U4eZsGpY1P1c0TnMC4LPzRNe4R/s1600/Piles+on+the+Floor.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505704108872459330" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNWw1NVugCJF2nIvrnvIbu_zPtcgGSL89sk1GFdhtHCr4gSiRLrZPUku_fAJKsIN09UYFJ5efpyqw2Zdb8c-5m_5gtS1ishlL8yDTnJ0D6LI37q2Hdw2U4eZsGpY1P1c0TnMC4LPzRNe4R/s320/Piles+on+the+Floor.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 240px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></a> <br />
4. Now that you are surrounded by much less frightening piles, go to your bills, invoices, etc... and put them in chronological order. Think about how you will file and how you will want to access these papers in the future... do you want the most recent date in the front or back? Choose, and then be consistent!!! Do this with all chronological groupings. <br />
5. Take note of the papers as you go through them. Are there duplicates that you don't need? Toss them! Is the receipt separated from the invoice? Staple them together! Condense and organize!<br />
6. Now that you have a good sense of how large or small each pile is you can begin to combine or separate as necessary. Be careful not to make any one pile too general. Otherwise this will become a catchall of random papers. For example, my husband (before he met me of course) had files of "important Papers" (which had everything from his birth certificate to an oil change printout) and "Old Receipts" (which ranged from 2001 to now... Every. Single. Receipt.)<br />
7. Make new post-it labels for those final piles. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy7MWik-GpR43tSNB7AjdkWEo-AHiQkLjT9_3KKhVa_xYke4xWvZ1GcokFTMELyUj00dobm0CT7dGiguBgrBIx0TVhsKsjoe5mhu_kZWu_EZC2CQdcXsm-OXccOWiKfWDUYbb0JibFIoFa/s1600/more+piles.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505704873384080898" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy7MWik-GpR43tSNB7AjdkWEo-AHiQkLjT9_3KKhVa_xYke4xWvZ1GcokFTMELyUj00dobm0CT7dGiguBgrBIx0TVhsKsjoe5mhu_kZWu_EZC2CQdcXsm-OXccOWiKfWDUYbb0JibFIoFa/s320/more+piles.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 240px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></a> <br />
8. Survey what you have and make a shopping list of what you need to put all these piles away. Think of how you will use your new and fabulous organizational system. For storage, do you prefer 3-ring binders? File cabinet with hanging files? Letter boxes or trays? Magazine holders? Consider these storage options in conjunction with how often you will need to access the contents and their importance. Look at the amount of groups/piles you have and the space that you have to work with. Its ok to combine different storage systems. For this project, we decided to use a binder for important documents, a few boxes for media and pamphlets, a file cabinet for most, and a open file box for those most accessed papers/files. We went a step further by color coding some folders for the different phases of a project. For example, pending, researched, expired, rejected, and accepted. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIRIhASi6n3NspsoZUtHPO6oUJ4BUnxKIclZegYdGLqPzne6JdwxI9-pu5Utu1aV8vywzav1mXz2OknlSwwPs0NhFWbs-NcYAS7_bfQqOVVvXOAgCGp2YyLmfebvZFQeiAPrfXuzf9SjZ8/s1600/notes.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505705775472205570" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIRIhASi6n3NspsoZUtHPO6oUJ4BUnxKIclZegYdGLqPzne6JdwxI9-pu5Utu1aV8vywzav1mXz2OknlSwwPs0NhFWbs-NcYAS7_bfQqOVVvXOAgCGp2YyLmfebvZFQeiAPrfXuzf9SjZ8/s320/notes.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 240px;" /></a> <br />
9. Shop! Purchase supplies that you need to immediately organize and put away the piles on your floor as well as back up supplies for when you need to expand. I've found that if you don't have these supplies handy, chances are that you'll start scary piles again and your organizational system will fall apart! <br />
10. Splurge! Indulge yourself with some pretty files and organizational tools for the things that will sit on your desk or that you will use most often. If you are excited about it, then you are more likely to use it! <br />
11. Back at home, start putting away your piles. Everything is already separated so this should be pretty easy. As you are putting things away, think again about how you will use it... do you want your credit card statements very accessible, or can they go near the back?<br />
12. Use your post-its to label the new hanging files, boxes, etc, instead of writing directly on the labels provided. Once everything is put away, this will make it easier for last minute changes. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaAKek99MEo3fI2kPjO1c4qhOL6wB4GiTJXPOviRYkh19oTU__ChLjdu4FJs72Qi8hKTK6yBYS6hwX_Vt_V3cdnqATfNPy10ICdEIvg4YJQsDWt90dXtkTnGfWlmfsUqihNtow_9tmpamS/s1600/putting+away+files.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505707719635055858" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaAKek99MEo3fI2kPjO1c4qhOL6wB4GiTJXPOviRYkh19oTU__ChLjdu4FJs72Qi8hKTK6yBYS6hwX_Vt_V3cdnqATfNPy10ICdEIvg4YJQsDWt90dXtkTnGfWlmfsUqihNtow_9tmpamS/s320/putting+away+files.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 240px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></a> <br />
13. Now that everything is put away and you can see your floor again, survey the space that you have created. Does it suit you? Can you keep up with it? If no, move things around and make some changes! <br />
14. Satisfied? Good! Now, remove your post-its and start writing or printing out your labels. Have fun with these, no need to be formal with your labels! Use color, stylized writing, or phrases that you like... for example, for our color coded files mentioned above, instead of using "rejected" we wrote "not now!" to put a positive spin on it (and to remind her to check in with them later). I have a letter tray at home labeled "crap to do" where I put bills to be paid that month, forms that need to be filled out, or anything else that needs my attention when I sit down to my desk. Have fun, but be clear enough to know what you're talking about later! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigTsT5tbQmtJ7QMOfm4INshqMRyXqCpH07qCjQswiy8iiTQtuU7-vHyreWXJLLwXEKG8PncZN4zdErdMZ6Xc_4-FKpa1y_8Ed19xz7qCk0sXNoYQgnXqSKvQxFPLBvEzf0JUDg_2eL-5lS/s1600/color+coded+files.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505708157904326402" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigTsT5tbQmtJ7QMOfm4INshqMRyXqCpH07qCjQswiy8iiTQtuU7-vHyreWXJLLwXEKG8PncZN4zdErdMZ6Xc_4-FKpa1y_8Ed19xz7qCk0sXNoYQgnXqSKvQxFPLBvEzf0JUDg_2eL-5lS/s320/color+coded+files.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 240px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></a> <br />
15. Last but not least, my most important tip! Allow yourself a "To be filed" basket or tray that is easily accessible. This allows you to be "bad" every now and then for those times when you are in a rush of just don't feel like it. BUT leave yourself (or make yourself) go through this at least once a week to separate and file away whats in it. Otherwise, you'll have to start all over again! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioW_YSP1gE9oL-a2KgdKZr_K5iJLYvwbySzEINglrgN7z4Ua9RK7M_qF0thaeXhUTi_SPcGyc3tmbMy2MC3q-O7iBItFgX5EKT_VaNu18HYfWlLf3d3La36icc-typ_KU1pwoQtGGl4wqs/s1600/before+and+after.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505714572450489346" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioW_YSP1gE9oL-a2KgdKZr_K5iJLYvwbySzEINglrgN7z4Ua9RK7M_qF0thaeXhUTi_SPcGyc3tmbMy2MC3q-O7iBItFgX5EKT_VaNu18HYfWlLf3d3La36icc-typ_KU1pwoQtGGl4wqs/s400/before+and+after.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 164px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm43Bfvz7zGUfOO3nJ8dBv6EyBwAxzd_k6BfktK-4A8LP0M75Xg6UnqqiOtpxqeclWkszPStp_xv8jaMJ3M62YiyIY9FZbw5QBYOA_bWjgVBBnA8aQZQoODYsks5Xbf8G1scmSKKa7Z8XH/s1600/before+and+after2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505714957827074898" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm43Bfvz7zGUfOO3nJ8dBv6EyBwAxzd_k6BfktK-4A8LP0M75Xg6UnqqiOtpxqeclWkszPStp_xv8jaMJ3M62YiyIY9FZbw5QBYOA_bWjgVBBnA8aQZQoODYsks5Xbf8G1scmSKKa7Z8XH/s400/before+and+after2.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 278px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><br />
<br />
Whew! The hardest part is getting started and going through that scary pile. Once you do this, I hope that you'll find it's easier to keep up with than you think. Hopefully, like myself and my friend, you'll also find that its a bit addictive! Now that she has an organized home office (with pretty files!) she went on by herself to organize her husband's desk and their shared files! I'm so proud :)<br />
<br />
Happy organizing! <br />

If it were up to me, I would have hundreds of dinner sets to choose from in my cabinets each year. Unfortunately, the financial ramifications of such a dream are absurd. Not to mention the storage would be impossible! This is what makes our job so wonderful. I can live vicariously through all our clients. We are currently preparing a few different tablescapes and below are some of my favorite holiday dinnerware sets! For those of you like myself who cannot buy new plates each winter, I highly recommend the Anthropologie Monochrome Mosaic Dinnerware. You can use these every year but completely change the look of your table by the accessories you use.

The mirrored accents of the top and fine tailoring also help to keep this look super glam. The black is a perfect combination with the futuristic pants. I love the organic and random pattern on the completely tailored, and clean line of the pants. The feminine aubergine and sleek shape of the pieces creates a sophisticated sexy look. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This aesthetic was the perfect inspiration for a parlor room.

The judges were not a fan of the color combo, but rewarded her the chance of a lifetime based on her overall design concepts and abilities. The looks she created were seriously structured but kept youthful and playful through the use of materials and colors.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqhBeapY-tB0fRtktCPqWxnh6g3Suj5C5U1GCEmnvyns6iox86E8q7_lc0XeeHelOkd7IX2QSdzonJCpMMiCLszexVivRBWaNeIpRsbyogJE5VDQwJ28Q5mVWl-N1AUOYjeRTzJjLSyVCi/s1600/PR9-EP12-Kimberly-3looks.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqhBeapY-tB0fRtktCPqWxnh6g3Suj5C5U1GCEmnvyns6iox86E8q7_lc0XeeHelOkd7IX2QSdzonJCpMMiCLszexVivRBWaNeIpRsbyogJE5VDQwJ28Q5mVWl-N1AUOYjeRTzJjLSyVCi/s400/PR9-EP12-Kimberly-3looks.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668056445761480210" style="cursor: pointer; width: 332px; height: 400px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Apart from bold color, Kimberly's designs are kept interesting by structure and asymmetry. These concepts will always capture and hold the eyes of a viewer. Kimberly's mix of these, along with with color and glamorous details made for a winning design in my opinion. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This design concept can be translated into a living room setting by using structured, tailored furniture with clean lines and detailing such us button tufting and fine stitching. To keep it glam and modern use materials such as sleek leather, silk, and velvet. Items with a higher sheen are more modern. Mix these different materials in the same color tone so that you can add one good punch of color such as the tangerine that Kimberly used. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOi49D05769MfzNypIh59Z9-lppTsOksMEqFylseFPJU_vpYAnGyObo4AdKOUq-FdTX_G8BcgAoTMzzFEVOHf-QmoF2AlL_6FrnIH7W4LEi7YsJSJKSbLSKr50IvhLQKc6yIbPaWy60tVr/s1600/PR9-EP12-Kimberly+Inspired+Room.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOi49D05769MfzNypIh59Z9-lppTsOksMEqFylseFPJU_vpYAnGyObo4AdKOUq-FdTX_G8BcgAoTMzzFEVOHf-QmoF2AlL_6FrnIH7W4LEi7YsJSJKSbLSKr50IvhLQKc6yIbPaWy60tVr/s400/PR9-EP12-Kimberly+Inspired+Room.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668056455574186162" style="cursor: pointer; width: 327px; height: 400px; " /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>1. <a href="http://www.roomandboard.com/rnb/product/detail.do?productGroup=2713&catalog=filter&menuCatalog=room&menuCategory=201&menuSubcategory=198">"Andre Leather Sofa" by Room and Board</a></div><div>2. <a href="http://www.cb2.com/ottomans-benches/furniture/parlour-tangerine-ottoman/f6719">"Parlour Tangerine Ottoman" by CB2</a></div><div>3. <a href="http://www.westelm.com/products/ion-glass-round-side-table-g474/?pkey=ccoffee-side-tables">"Ion Glass Round Side Table" by West Elm</a></div><div>4. <a href="http://www.roomandboard.com/rnb/product/detail.do?productGroup=2685&catalog=filter&menuCatalog=room&menuCategory=201&menuSubcategory=206">"Louis Leather Chair" by Room and Board</a></div><div>5. <a href="http://www.westelm.com/products/martini-side-table-g057/?pkey=ccoffee-side-tables">"Martini Side Table" by West Elm</a></div><div>6. <a href="http://www.westelm.com/products/studded-velvet-pillow-cover-b775/?pkey=call-pillows">"Studded Velvet Pillow" by West Elm</a></div><div>7. <a href="http://www.westelm.com/products/lagoon-pillow-cover-b745/?pkey=call-pillows">"Lagoon Pillow" by West Elm</a></div><div>8. <a href="http://www.westelm.com/products/frosted-foil-pillow-cover-r943/?pkey=e%7Cfrosted%2Bfoil%2Bpillow%2Bcover%7C1%7Cbest%7C0%7Cviewall%7C24%7C%7C1&cm_src=PRODUCTSEARCH||NoFacet-_-NoFacet-_-NoMerchRules-_-">"Frosted Foil Pillow" by West Elm</a></div><div>9. <a href="http://www.cb2.com/ottomans-benches/furniture/knitted-blood-orange-pouf/f7083">"Knitted Blood Orange Pouf" by CB2</a></div><div>10. <a href="http://www.cb2.com/storage/furniture/latitude-oat-low-dresser/f6703">"Latitude Oat Low Dresser" by CB2</a></div><div>11. <a href="http://www.westelm.com/products/glass-jug-table-lamp-w598/?pkey=ctable-lamps">"Glass Jug Table Lamp" by West Elm</a></div>Ellenor Industrieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14192109023332505053noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3295464916195507993.post-11410234720825212912011-10-07T21:37:00.000-07:002011-10-27T00:34:50.555-07:00Turn An Outfit Into a Room: Soft and Feathery<div style="text-align: center;">Viktor's cockatoo-inspired gown may not have pulled out a win on last night's Project Runway, season 9, but it did win on my inspiration list. This gown was soft, flowing and romantic. And while it was adorned with feathers, I thought Viktor did an excellent job of strategically placing them so as not to detract from the design but to enhance it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO5EJ1lvP9MqncNSKaCEB1Hyn8FArWh21l8ZVF-g9KWfeSiZsm8EnL6-KgAn9ejKU_RY6Qn3I7Bxbpy67FTdVwSYGS0yeVxCFLl1LGYB5S117Vwt61mdgOnZhyphenhyphennrTwogIhwB_d_gjn4kYg/s1600/PR9-EP11-Viktor.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhO5EJ1lvP9MqncNSKaCEB1Hyn8FArWh21l8ZVF-g9KWfeSiZsm8EnL6-KgAn9ejKU_RY6Qn3I7Bxbpy67FTdVwSYGS0yeVxCFLl1LGYB5S117Vwt61mdgOnZhyphenhyphennrTwogIhwB_d_gjn4kYg/s400/PR9-EP11-Viktor.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668041375349466754" style="cursor: pointer; width: 271px; height: 400px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Restraint in design is one of the most difficult things to accomplish. Design, whether it be in fashion or interiors, should look effortless and not at all overworked. The gown above accomplished this with the organic draping of material and just the right amount of color and details to keep the design interesting. </div><div style="text-align: center;">The room below uses the same ideas to create a soft, feminine bedroom with just the right amount of visual interest. This is created with a single pop of bold color against soft neutrals. To keep the monochromatic background from becoming boring, a mix of textures rather than patterns was used so as not to fight with such a bold color accent. The resulting bedroom looks effortless and beautiful. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyowSbS1EgACj7euTQq0bjIm0J1IbZS8gUsxjWxNvGb5w00GzW3yr8SuYXcQs5cS85uvNMcH0ZnAI55koDtKrYY0ifxHu4hIj2X_k7Jb2DXinwFg6Nu32pmale5mzE3zmjgnCGuFpQgSaX/s1600/PR9-EP11-Viktor+Inspired+Room.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyowSbS1EgACj7euTQq0bjIm0J1IbZS8gUsxjWxNvGb5w00GzW3yr8SuYXcQs5cS85uvNMcH0ZnAI55koDtKrYY0ifxHu4hIj2X_k7Jb2DXinwFg6Nu32pmale5mzE3zmjgnCGuFpQgSaX/s400/PR9-EP11-Viktor+Inspired+Room.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668041376951653810" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 327px; " /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>1. <a href="http://www.westelm.com/products/gourd-table-lamp-w482/?pkey=ctable-lamps">"Gourd Table Lamp" by West Elm</a></div><div>2. <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S89861543/">"Edland Four-Poster Bed Frame" by Ikea</a>, shown with <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=093707&catId=HOME-BEDDING&pushId=HOME-BEDDING&popId=HOME&navCount=6&color=006&isProduct=true&fromCategoryPage=true&isSubcategory=true&subCategoryId=HOME-BEDDING&templateType=hybrid">"Georgina Bedding" by Anthropologie</a> </div><div>3. <a href="http://www.westelm.com/products/crinkle-cotton-window-panel-r805/?pkey=cwindow-panels-curtains-shades">"Crinkle Cotton Window Panels" by West Elm</a></div><div>4. <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/47007731/sculptural-metal-mirror">Vintage "Sculptural Metal Mirror" from Vintage Modern Design on Etsy</a></div><div>5. <a href="http://www.westelm.com/products/serpentine-3-drawer-dresser-g348/?pkey=cdressers-nightstands">"Serpentine 3-Drawer Dresser" by West Elm</a></div><div>6. <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/67569288/vintage-gold-filigree-vanity-dresser">Vintage "Gold Filigree Vanity Tray" from Claires Faire on Etsy</a></div><div>7. <a href="http://www.westelm.com/products/glazed-pillow-cover-r961/?pkey=call-pillows">"Glazed Pillow" by West Elm</a></div><div>8. <a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=20130464&color=070&itemdescription=true&navAction=jump&search=true&isProduct=true&parentid=A_FURN_FURNITURE_SOFAS">"Antoinette Fainting Sofa" by Urban Outfitters</a></div><div>9. <a href="http://www.westelm.com/products/turned-pedestal-side-table-g539/?pkey=ccoffee-side-tables">"Turned Pedestal Side Table" by West Elm</a></div><div><br /></div>Ellenor Industrieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14192109023332505053noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3295464916195507993.post-7994499318384377162011-09-30T20:53:00.000-07:002011-10-27T00:36:10.431-07:00Turn An Outfit Into a Room: Modern Throwback<div style="text-align: center;">Last night on Project Runway season 9, the judges were not a fan of Laura Kathleen's 70's inspired look.

I believe that these two prints can work together because one is so strong, linear, and large in scale while the other is more soft, organic, and has a tighter or smaller scale. Maybe my opinion is in the minority, but let me know what you think of this outfit turned into a room...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX-yWoystHOY1BEoKpyXZdAQk8kMNR99KJCQjBGCKPQq83hNVSNAUy1vL6TRXL2W97mXVqoMnacTKMit3WclkX6DDcauhuEHIPi7K-4kzPCosfhmdJwiZrcbLieYBKzqzAOXVMem-FfxJz/s1600/PR9-EP10-Laura+Inspired+Room.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX-yWoystHOY1BEoKpyXZdAQk8kMNR99KJCQjBGCKPQq83hNVSNAUy1vL6TRXL2W97mXVqoMnacTKMit3WclkX6DDcauhuEHIPi7K-4kzPCosfhmdJwiZrcbLieYBKzqzAOXVMem-FfxJz/s400/PR9-EP10-Laura+Inspired+Room.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668025259789934242" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 327px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>1. <a href="http://www.cb2.com/accent-tables/furniture/acrylic-drink-table/f6751">"Acrylic Drink Table" by CB2</a></div><div>2. <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=22144729&catId=HOME-LIGHTING&pushId=HOME-LIGHTING&popId=HOME&navCount=12&color=070&isProduct=true&fromCategoryPage=true&isSubcategory=true&subCategoryId=HOME-LIGHTING-TABLE">"Navette Lamp" by Anthropologie</a></div><div>3. <a href="http://www.roomandboard.com/rnb/product/detail.do?productGroup=2853&catalog=filter&menuCatalog=room&menuCategory=201&menuSubcategory=198">"Reese Leather Sofa" by Room and Board</a></div><div>4. <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=083293&catId=HOME-CURTAINS&pushId=HOME-CURTAINS&popId=HOME&navCount=6&color=052&isProduct=true&fromCategoryPage=true&isSubcategory=true&subCategoryId=HOME-CURTAINS&templateType=hybrid">"Wavering Ombre Curtains" by Anthropologie</a></div><div>5. <a href="http://www.westelm.com/products/sweep-armchair-g030/?pkey=cchairs-ottomans">"Sweep Upholstered Armchair" by West Elm</a></div><div>6. <a href="http://www.roomandboard.com/rnb/product/detail.do?productGroup=6127&catalog=filter&menuCatalog=room&menuCategory=201&menuSubcategory=143">"Saarinen Cocktail Table" by Room and Board</a></div><div>7. <a href="http://www.fabricadabra.us/slsichpico1.html">"Silk Chameuse Pillow" by Fabricadabra</a></div><div>8. <a href="http://www.roomandboard.com/rnb/product/detail.do?productGroup=5164&catalog=filter&menuCatalog=room&menuCategory=201&menuSubcategory=186">"Velvet Indigo Pillow" by Room and Board</a></div><div>9. <a href="http://www.rugsusa.com/rugsusa/rugs/milliken-vibe/techno-black/2795568315-54078.html">"Black and White Vibe Rug" by Milliken for Rugs USA</a></div><div><br /></div></div>Ellenor Industrieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14192109023332505053noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3295464916195507993.post-69970014079967685882011-09-23T19:47:00.000-07:002011-10-27T00:37:05.566-07:00Turn an Outfit Into a Room: Masculine Edge<div style="text-align: center;">Viktor pulled out another victory last night on Project Runway (season 9)! This time the challenge was to create a new look for one of the members of an up and coming band. Viktor created a look that was masculine and a bit bohemian... normal enough for the average man but with enough edge for a rockstar!</div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHNf7sgkuew5r85eWXEsZ6KzBQq0BDBO_nOEHCfAd2ylaHHCqCvELKnvQCa9FShm6dsGSjQROoN49F82d670qwb-x47Tm_Y-VvPQqo3iHXvNK3r1is5VUWEyYy9PeJdgADukPYllOyI61E/s1600/PR9-EP9-viktor.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHNf7sgkuew5r85eWXEsZ6KzBQq0BDBO_nOEHCfAd2ylaHHCqCvELKnvQCa9FShm6dsGSjQROoN49F82d670qwb-x47Tm_Y-VvPQqo3iHXvNK3r1is5VUWEyYy9PeJdgADukPYllOyI61E/s400/PR9-EP9-viktor.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668013960163153762" style="cursor: pointer; width: 252px; height: 400px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">The distressed denim and leather jacket are staples of masculine wardrobe. However the tailoring of the jeans and incredible detail in the jacket are what make these so much more than simple clothing staples. These masculine materials balance the softness found in the floral shirt. Its these extra details and juxtaposition of materials that create the edge of the design while still using comfortable and recognizable pieces.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The same juxtaposition can be applied to the design of a room.
