White rooms seem to be quite popular again. However, I was so excited to see some new additions. There seems to be a lot of additions of lighting. This still reads as "white" as long as you get the right kind of bulb. This includes beautiful twinkle light canopies and backdrops. I also love the look of planking that's painted white. It isn't just for nautical room. I love it on ceilings or floors.
Would You Move?
I love my state but I'm a little bit jealous of the architecture and thought that goes into homes in different states. I was looking through a Boca Raton Architects site and it practically made me want to move. Frank & Associates Architect Inc. has been in business for 16 years. A lot of the designs go with the flow. This relates to both the space planning and also the scenery around it. I found that many of the projects highlight nature and plants.
Everything was so elegant and well thought out unlike the rustic or cookie cutter homes that we have in Utah that just aren't my style at all. How dedicated are you to your design style? Would you move to have a home or scenery that you really loved?

Spring Decorating
After I finish up all of my spring cleaning I usually get in the mood to start decorating for spring. However, I live in the desert so this is especially problematic. I just can't plant very many flowers or a lawn or anything. This has led me to looking at many different kinds of decor that I won't have to water.
I was looking at Mailbox and Beyond because I'm so envious of all of the different types of address plaques. This is a different type of retailer from what I'm used to seeing because they are licensed dealers for their products.
I wasn't sure there was going to be anything for my exterior because I live in an apartment. I found out that I can get address signs too. I've never seen ceramic crocks before. You can get it customized with your name or your address. It can work inside or outside. There are also accessories like a solar powered lamp. This makes sure that your address plaque can still be noticed when your guests need to find it most. Address plaques are a fun idea that don't require a lot of long term commitment like plants.

Home Ownership
I think a lot about home ownership just because it's so out of reach for me. I live in an area which really isn't affordable and won't be in my price range for probably the rest of my life. This means that when I want to actually own a home I'm going to need to move to an entirely new area that I'm not really familiar with and I'll need someone to guide me through that process.
One of my weird hobbies is to look through different MLS listing in different cities. Usually you need to find a realtor in each specific city to do this and some make it more difficult than others to find Calgary listings. I was amazed at how easy Cliff Stevenson makes this process. I learned that it's actually faster by a few days when going through this system instead of just going through a public option like I usually do. If you're looking in a competitive market this can give you an edge. You just need to enter a few details like where you want to live and what date you'd like to move in. For now it's just a dream but looking through these MLS listing has helped me to decide on different cities when the time to move actually arises.

It’s Easy Being Green
I always know that I need to go green and getting solar panels seems to be the best way to do it. However, whenever the subject comes up my brain just seems to shut off a little bit. I know that it may be the right thing to do; but I just don't know how to go about it.
When I was reading through a site named "solar is made easy" it all became a lot clearer. First off, it's a brilliant name for a website because it instantly clears up my way of thinking that going green has to be difficult. There were lots of articles to read through to learn more. I had some very vague notions that the site instantly cleared up. I've always thought about solar as being expensive. The site let me know how long it would take for the panels to basically pay for themselves. It also informed me of some UK tariff schemes.
I had no idea that the installer will actually tell you how may solar panels that you need. The site makes the process even easier because you can get quotes right on the site just by answering a few quick questions. Then you can get quotes from different installers. I guess there is just one more reason to go green now. It's finally easy.
