At your next dinner party, think about serving sparkling, French lemonade. When the lemonade is gone, you will be left with beautiful bottles to use in the future. Just refill the bottles with water or other favorite beverages and scatter them throughout the table at your next dinner party. Guests will admire the beautiful bottles and will enjoy the bounty of beverages at their fingertips. Recycling never tasted so good.
Mirrors mix so easily with other accessories. They add light and sparkle to even the darkest spaces making rooms appear larger. Shake things up and use mirrors in unexpected places. Prop large mirrors against walls or hang small mirrors off bookcase shelves to add flavor to any room. Tap into your creativity and discover your own unique way to use mirrors.
Turn up the style heat in your home by using plates. Whether you like modern or traditional, plates can add that extra pizzazz to your walls. Open up your cabinets to see if you have a favorite family set decorated with the patina of past memories or shop for new plates bursting with trendy color. Once you have decided on the plates, play with the arrangement on a table before you hang the plates on the wall. It is easier to play with placement options before you put holes in your wall. For a really professional look, use a tape measure to hang the plates.
