The design may begin as a drawing, a painting, a photograph or any other kind of graphic artwork. Once this basic design is selected it must then be transformed into a stained glass friendly design. Stained glass panels, shades, doors, windows, etc. are subject to stress which can easily break or fracture the glass. Care must be taken to design the individual pieces and how they relate to each other structurally in such a way that they will add strength. Of course this all has to be done within the context of a beautiful design. A simple comparison is a wall of bricks. To create a strong wall you would not simply stack the bricks in a line on top of each other but you would place them in such a way to interlock and create a strong bond. Stained glass structural design is similar in principle. A further complication is that it is always necessary to maintain the beauty and integrity of the original subject which is the object of the design.<br />Second, upon completion of the stained glass friendly design which is structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing, it is necessary to create templates for each and every piece of glass that is to be in the design. This is typically done by tracing the outline of each piece of glass in the design onto a heavy craft type paper. Afterwards, the craft paper is cut into individual pieces which represent the individual pieces of glass.<br />Third, each craft paper template is laid down upon a corresponding sheet of glass and cut out by hand with a glass cutter tool. The rough edges of the glass are smoothed by special grozing pliers or a glass grinder. All the pieces are cut out in this manner then laid out upon a copy of the original design to assure that everything fits properly.<br />Fourth, each piece of glass is individually wrapped around the edge in (usually) copper foil or a zinc frame then placed back onto a copy of the original design to assure proper fitting. Metal pins, straight edges and wood frames are used to hold the entire project in place in preparation for the soldering.<br />Fifth, all copper foil and zinc edges of all the glass pieces are painted with a soldering flux. The glass pieces are then soldered together one at a time until the entire project becomes a one piece structure. The project is turned over and this fluxing and soldering step is repeated on the other side.<br />Finally, detailed finish soldering is completed, then an appealing patina is applied to all metal parts.<br />There are many subtleties and variations in each of the steps above. But there are no short cuts or machinery other than simple hand tools used in authentic <a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID=2288151&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fstores.ebay.com%2FO-Tiffanys-Stained-Glass-Works_W0QQcolZ2QQdirZQ2d1QQfsubZ0QQftidZ2QQpZ2QQsclZ2QQtZkm">Tiffany style stained glass. </a><br />Jim Hoyle<br /><span style="font-size:78%;">Article Source: </span><a id="link_53" href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Jim_Hoyle"><span style="font-size:78%;">http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Jim_Hoyle</span></a><br /><br /><br />Click here to get a magnificent <a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID=2288151&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fstores.ebay.com%2FO-Tiffanys-Stained-Glass-Works_W0QQcolZ2QQdirZQ2d1QQfsubZ0QQftidZ2QQpZ2QQsclZ2QQtZkm">Tiffany style stained glass lamps and more</a><br /><br />My choice of Tyffany style lamp is this one.<br /><a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-2288151-10273848?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.stacksandstacks.com%2Fscripts%2Fclients.html%3Fname%3Dcjref%26product_page%3D114913_uneven-maple-leaf-table-lamp-naturally-beautiful&cjsku=114913" target="_top"><br />Uneven Maple Leaf Table Lamp-Tiffany Style-Hand Cr</a><br /><img src="http://www.awltovhc.com/image-2288151-10273848" width="1" height="1" border="0"/><br /><a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-2288151-10273848?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.stacksandstacks.com%2Fscripts%2Fclients.html%3Fname%3Dcjref%26product_page%3D114913_uneven-maple-leaf-table-lamp-naturally-beautiful&cjsku=114913" target="_top"><img src="http://www.stacksandstacks.com/image/114913.jpg" border="0" alt="Uneven Maple Leaf Table Lamp-Tiffany Style-Hand Cr" /></a><img src="http://www.awltovhc.com/image-2288151-10273848" width="1" height="1" border="0" />Milahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15133593386345495647noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7681660618399348845.post-2901148816178023732007-07-28T11:06:00.000-06:002007-07-29T22:35:01.981-06:00GIFT CERTIFICATE.To get or not to get.Families of all ages can benefit from using <a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID=2288151&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.com%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm37%26satitle%3Dcertificate%26category0%3D">coupons</a> for shopping.

Antique Clock Dials And How To Restore Them Today</span>!<br /></strong><br />The dial of a clock is usually the first thing to get dirty or discoloured, especially if winding is done by opening a door in the front. A marked improvement can be effected by fixing a new dial made in the manner to be described.<br /><br />First take off the minute hand. Sometimes this is only sprung on and will come away by merely pulling at the centre, but generally it is secured by a, small pin which is easily withdrawn. The removal of the hour-hand will then present no difficulty. The dial will most likely be fixed by screws to the case, or to the frame of the movement, and by unscrewing these it is detached. Place all the screws, the hands etc, in a box or tray for safety while making the new dial.<br /><br />You'll need a sheet of fairly stout, smooth-surfaced Bristol board, (A smooth, heavy pasteboard of fine quality); a bottle of waterproof Indian ink ; an ordinary and an ink compass ; a pair of dividers and a ruling pen. Having pinned the white card to a drawing-board to prevent it shifting, measure carefully with the dividers the diameter of the outer circle of the dial, and with the compass make a similar circle on the card ; next measure the inner circle, on which the graduations are to be inscribed, and transfer this also to the copy. The divisions may now be proceeded with. Rule lightly a vertical line across the diameter of the circle ; this will indicate the six o'clock and twelve o'clock graduations.<br /><br />A second line, also through the centre of the circle, at right angles to the first, divides the dial into four quarters. With the dividers, each quarter is then sub-divided into three equal portions, for the five-minute graduations, and each of the latter into five parts. The dial will then contain sixty divisions. Now measure the respective distances of the top and bottom of the hour figures from the centre of the dial, and with these distances as radii describe two more circles, thus obtaining guide-lines in which to write the figures. With the old dial as a copy, the hours may then be pencilled in, noticing that all the upright strokes radiate from the centre, while the short lines at the top or bottom of each figure are portions of the guide circles. Note that diametrically opposite figures are upside-down as regards each other, and that the " four " is drawn thin. IIII, and not IV.<br /><br />When the whole is neatly inscribed in pencil, the inking over may begin. The two outer circles are first done with the ink compass, then the divisions with the ruling pen, noting that each of these radiates from the centre. Every quarter-hour mark, however, is made thicker and wedge-shaped, while the intermediate five minutes are indicated by dots. The figures are next carefully inked in, first the radiating upright lines, then any cross strokes, and finally the curved lines at top and bottom, doing the latter with the ink compass. The thick strokes may conveniently made by ruling two thin lines the correct distance apart and filling in the middle space with a fine brush. Care must be taken that one part is dry before attempting another. When all is dry, the pencil marks are removed with a rubber, and the size of the dial is ascertained by laying the old one on top of it, marking at the same time the places where holes are required for the hands and winding key. These are cut out with the point of a sharp penknife, an inked circle having first been drawn round them for ornament. If all has been neatly done, the new dial will be quite undistinguishable from enamelled one, the pure white, smooth surface of the Bristol board having just the right appearance.<br /><br />To fix the dial, the order adopted in removing the old one is reversed - that is to say, the dial is first screwed to the case, the hour-hand next placed in position, then the washer, and lastly minute hand, not forgetting the pin, if one is used.<br /><br /><strong><em><span style="font-size:78%;">Copyright Sarah Stewart 2006 www.antique-e-books.co.uk<br /><br /></span></em></strong><strong><em><span style="font-size:78%;"></span></em></strong><br /><br /><br /><script language="JavaScript" src="http://lapi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?EKServer&ai=lgaks%21%27&bdrcolor=666666&cid=0&eksize=5&encode=ISO-8859-1&endcolor=FF0000&endtime=y&fbgcolor=EFEFEF&fntcolor=000000&fs=0&gallery=y&hdrcolor=FFFFCC&hdrimage=4&hdrsrch=n&img=y&lnkcolor=0000FF&logo=6&num=25&numbid=y&paypal=n&popup=n&prvd=1&query=vintage+clock&r0=4&shipcost=n&siteid=0&sort=MetaEndSort&sortby=endtime&sortdir=asc&srchdesc=n&tbgcolor=FFFFFF&tlecolor=4E4EC6&tlefs=0&tlfcolor=FFFFFF&track=2288151&width=570"></script><br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><script type="text/javascript"><!--<br />google_ad_client="pub-3684807595021093";<br />google_ad_host="pub-1556223355139109";<br />google_ad_width=468;<br />google_ad_height=60;<br />google_ad_format="468x60_as";<br />google_ad_type="text";<br />google_color_border="999999";<br />google_color_bg="F9F9F9";<br />google_color_link="282B34";<br />google_color_url="282B34";<br />google_color_text="999999";<br />//--></script><br /><script type="text/javascript"<br /> src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"><br /></script>Milahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15133593386345495647noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7681660618399348845.post-24579045374337009592007-07-21T23:40:00.001-06:002007-07-28T10:44:38.095-06:00Brighten up the Home With Mediterranean Style DecoratingA popular style of decorating today is <a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID=2288151&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.com%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm37%26satitle%3Dtuscan%2Bfountain%26category0%3D">Mediterranean style</a> decorating.

A Mediterranean style room should ideally look lived in and that is what generally adds the character to it.<br /><br />If you decide to use a <a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID=2288151&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.com%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm37%26satitle%3Dtuscan%26category0%3D">Tuscan</a> style then you need to keep it a little rustic. This can be achieved by using materials such as stucco and cracked plaster. Color wise you need to choose warm colors such as terracotta and gold as well as chocolate browns. If you want to add a few accent tones then the best colors to use as deep blues and olive greens.<br /><br />Another important factor to consider with Mediterranean style decorating is textures. This for example could mean the number of layers of paint you have on the walls or even marble walls and worktops. The furniture should look worn and distressed wood is also particularly good.<br /><br />While it is possible to create a <a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID=2288151&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.com%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm37%26satitle%3Dtuscan%2Bfountain%26category0%3D">Mediterranean style</a> in any home no matter how small, you need to remember to keep it as uncluttered as possible. If your room is small then the colors you should use to make it look larger include yellows and other vibrant colors. Another handy tip is to add storage in your furniture.<br /><br />The accessories which you can use to add a Mediterranean style to the home include luxury pillows and scrap wood. Looking around the antique shops will really help too and wrought iron can help you to create an intimate setting in any room.<br /><br />One of the best things about <a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID=2288151&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.com%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm37%26satitle%3Dtuscan%2Bfountain%26category0%3D">Mediterranean style</a> decorating is that it is not very expensive to accomplish. You can easily pick up various bits and pieces from art sales and vintage stores. You just have to have a good eye for a bargain. You also do not have to worry about everything looking perfect. It is the imperfections in things which add to the Mediterranean feel. If you manage to achieve the Mediterranean look then you will notice how much more welcoming your home seems to be. It can really help to brighten up any room and it is simple to do too.<br /><br /><em><em><strong><strong><strong>Andrew Caxton is the editor of different articles published at http://www.home-decorating-reviews.com, with reference to wrought iron and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">terra</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">cotta</span>.

The <a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID=2288151&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.com%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm37%26satitle%3Diron%2Bfurniture%26category0%3D">wrought iron </a> accessories not only bring glory to our houses, but have existed with mankind from ancient times and continue to exist with us till date. Wrought Iron was used in door furniture of Roman Times; in structural uses in Middle age times; in large civil structures in the nineteenth century and now it is the fashion statement of our home décor today. Wrought iron has always remained with mankind in one form or another.<br /><br />Wrought iron has no match with other metals in terms of its durability and flexibility, in addition to its other multiple abilities. The metal can be moulded in any shape delicately and generously as desired, without breaking. Hammers and anvils are used to give beautiful shapes to it. Wrought iron is also less corrosive when compared to other metals and hence is used extensively for making painted home décor items. If sincere care is taken of <a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID=2288151&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.com%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm37%26satitle%3Diron%2Bfurniture%26category0%3D">wrought iron </a> items, these last for many years and rusting will not be near anywhere.<br /><br />The life of the wrought iron items can be enhanced by applying red lead putty at the joints of the wrought iron products, followed by a coat of paint. Wrought Iron home décor furnishing items are available readymade or else, these can be custom made to suit your specifications and design ideas. Whether you are buying readymade or custom made wrought iron home decor, you should consider few factors before buying. You should buy a reliable wrought iron brand or buy from a reliable dealer or craftsman to authenticate that genuine wrought iron metal has been used. Also ensure to mention that you want to procure wrought iron home decor items which have been prepared from puddled wrought iron and not mild steel or any other alternate. Also, indicate that you desire to have the fire welding done on the <a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID=2288151&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.com%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm37%26satitle%3Diron%2Bfurniture%26category0%3D">wrought iron </a> products rather than electric welding.<br /><br />Wrought iron home décor products are available in different price ranges. The items are priced depending on the quality of the metal, the kind of welding chosen, the grade of complexity in the design and the dimensions of the item. However, one must never try to settle for a inferior quality product for a convenient price.<br /><br />Wrought Iron has been an integral part of mankind and is preferred over other metals for home décor even today. The creativity and artistic appeal of this valuable metal satisfies our needs and brings glory to our homes. True to its nature, rusting can never happen to <a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID=2288151&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.com%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm37%26satitle%3Diron%2Bfurniture%26category0%3D">wrought iron </a>.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">Andrew Caxton is a consultant who writes on many consumer topics like patio furniture and outdoor decorations for http://www.wrought-iron-guide.com Find more publications about wrought iron furniture at his website</span>.Milahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15133593386345495647noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7681660618399348845.post-27585799465369165982007-01-31T12:04:00.000-07:002007-03-14T08:52:22.807-06:00F O Y E R<strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#330099;"></span></strong><br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#000099;">Home sweet home!</span><br /><br />We all know that home is where the heart is and we want to make it perfect. (even if we live on a budget) Lets add some touches and personal style to our dream home.<br /><br />Your entry starts on the outside so add a sturdy welcome mat. (not a rotting mat of course)<br />The door is very important. Spend some money and get a good quality one. Personalize your door with a unique door knocker or art glass. (depending on the style of your door)<br /><br /><br />Once inside be sure there is an attractive rug . A small table is always a good idea with a creative storage for your keys, handbag, wallet or mail. You can get a basket or wooden box for mail and a small bowl for keys.<br />If you have enough space add a coat rack and an umbrella stand . Most of us have a small coat closet, which if too loaded will not allow anyone else to use it.<br />Add a lamp for a cozy effect. Size will depend on the table or chest. Often a mirror adds space to a small foyer and everyone likes to get a last look before they leave the home as well.<br />A stylish chair would also be handy. (but don't get to huge of one, it takes up too much space).<br />Also include artwork that suits the rest of your dream house and your personal style.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-2288151-10286281" target="_top">Gabbeh Persian & Oriental Rugs</a> <span style="font-size:130%;color:#33ccff;">breathe life into a modern room.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#33ccff;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#33ccff;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#33ccff;"><img height="1" src="http://www.tqlkg.com/image-2288151-10286281" width="1" border="0" /></span><br />*****************************<br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#663300;"><strong>What You Need To Know When Choosing An Exterior Door<br /></strong></span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">By Bill Prudehome.</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#663300;"><strong>Exterior doors</strong></span> for your home come in a variety of materials, colors, and designs. New materials, such as vinyl have provided manufacturers with the ability to create exterior doors that need little maintenance, provide security, energy efficiency and add value to your home.<br /><br />The front door of a home greats your guests and its styling says a lot about the home owner.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#663300;">Wood<br /></span></strong><br />Wood exterior doors are desirable for their natural beauty and structural strength. They are widely available in a number of different woods ranging from pine, oak, cedar, mahogany, and walnut. They do however require significant protection from the elements as well as regular maintenance. Manufacturers are required to treat wood with a preservative to help prevent rotting but ongoing maintenance is the only way to ensure that your wood exterior door lasts and performs.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#663300;">Steel<br /></span></strong><br />Steel exterior doors are actually made from a combination of materials. The interior structural components (rails and stiles) are often wood, the inner core is filed with insulating foam and the outer skin is made of galvanized steel. The inner wood structure gives it stability and strength. The foam core provides good insulation and the steel skins are durable, resistant to warping or rotting and require little maintenance.<br /><br />Steel exterior doors can be painted any number of colors. They are also available with pre-finished PVC coatings that simulate a wood-grain finish.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#663300;">Fiberglass</span></strong><br /><br />Fiberglass exterior doors are relatively new and are constructed in the same fashion as steel exterior doors with wood stiles and rails and an inner core of injected foam. The outer skin is fiberglass. Fiberglass is very strong, durable and energy efficient. In addition to a flat painted surface, fiberglass can also be embossed to give it the texture and appearance of wood.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#663300;">Vinyl<br /></span></strong><br />Vinyl exterior doors are also relatively new. They employ a multi-chambered vinyl structure for both the frames and panels (sashes) utilizing a steel, aluminum, or wood re-enforcement to add strength and prevent distortion. Vinyl doors are good thermal insulators because of their multi-chambered designs and offer good thermal performance ratings. Vinyl is a very durable material and is resistant to extreme weather conditions. It is also very resistant to breakage and provides good protection against forced entry through the door. Vinyl doors will not rust, dent or scratch, and require no special maintenance.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">For additional information on exterior doors for your home or other renovation projects, visit Renovation Headquarters.<br />Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Bill_Prudehome</span>Milahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15133593386345495647noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7681660618399348845.post-80501610356306297172007-01-30T19:02:00.001-07:002007-02-05T17:21:23.832-07:00<a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-2288151-10356256" target="_top">Decorative Oriental Rugs & Free Shipping! </a><br><br /><b>Antique, Semi-Antique & New Items at everyday savings.</b><br><br />Rugman.com.<br /><img src="http://www.ftjcfx.com/image-2288151-10356256" width="1" height="1" border="0"/><br /><br /><a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-2288151-9495062" target="_top"><br /><img src="http://www.tqlkg.com/image-2288151-9495062" width="468" height="60" alt="Everyday Savings on Persian & Oriental Rugs" border="0"/></a>Milahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15133593386345495647noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7681660618399348845.post-69854446374305133112007-01-23T12:20:00.001-07:002007-07-21T23:04:14.913-06:00Home Security 101: Is Your Home Safe<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1cLyKSS8TJT98QQ0qwsBl9YTGfPFoD-tMYA_-97sk1JyMCHQTRtMzd_FAuOsQwGTRG-bxLZlX3YoEkiC6dQqHymp5_bXZ97kYGs3oRVRa7-MygY3xjLIJonR4X3zOQ8HqvO9SVvsMJBY/s1600-h/bookcoverwshadow.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5023757761044294082" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1cLyKSS8TJT98QQ0qwsBl9YTGfPFoD-tMYA_-97sk1JyMCHQTRtMzd_FAuOsQwGTRG-bxLZlX3YoEkiC6dQqHymp5_bXZ97kYGs3oRVRa7-MygY3xjLIJonR4X3zOQ8HqvO9SVvsMJBY/s200/bookcoverwshadow.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://capital35.homesafety.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_top">Click Here!</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color:#000099;">The complete guide to locks, alarms, cameras and security systems designed to protect homeowners and their valuables.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><p></p><p></p><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size:78%;">by Joseph Ducat</span><br /></span>I wonder how many people would hang that “Home Sweet Home” sign in their house if they knew just how unsafe they are in their residences? You may feel safe in your home behind a locked front door, but unless you have taken more stringent measures to protect yourself, believe me, your feelings of security are misplaced. In the first place, when you do go outside your door, do you feel safe? Can you walk around your neighborhood securely? Or do you carry around a can of pepper spray for protection?<br />If you do not feel safe outside, chances are that you aren’t safe indoors either, in spite of the locks on your doors. And even if you’re not at home when someone breaks in, you stand the risk of losing your most valuable possessions to burglars. That is not something you can just sit around and wait to happen. Remember what they said about an ounce of prevention? Take the steps to protect yourself and your home. Don’t worry, I am not about to tell anyone to buy a gun. Not that I am against guns, as I do believe it is your right to own one--this is a free country. But a gun is only good for defending yourself when someone has broken into your home. For real security, you need to keep vile elements out of your home in the first place.<br />My own suggestion to you would be to install a <a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID=2288151&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fhome.search.ebay.com%2Fcameras-security-systems_Home-Security_W0QQ_trksidZm37QQcatrefZC12QQfromZR40QQsacatZ41968">home alarm</a>. There are many in the market to choose from in practically every price range. Though when you are considering your personal safety, price should not be the issue--rather, it is important to get the kind of security that you need.<br />When you get a <a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID=2288151&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fhome.search.ebay.com%2Fcameras-security-systems_Home-Security_W0QQ_trksidZm37QQcatrefZC12QQfromZR40QQsacatZ41968">home alarm</a> system, the service does not end with having the alarms installed in your residence. You will also be paying a small monthly fee to have home alarm monitoring. What that means is the security company will monitor your <a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&PID=2288151&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fhome.search.ebay.com%2Fcameras-security-systems_Home-Security_W0QQ_trksidZm37QQcatrefZC12QQfromZR40QQsacatZ41968">home alarm</a>. If the alarm is triggered, the company will call you to check if there is a problem. And they will alert the police to come to your house if you ask them to, or if you do not give any response. So if a dangerous situation arises in your residence, you can be assured that rescue personnel will be quickly dispatched to come to your aid.<br />That is the kind of home security that will allow you true peace of mind. It is important not to take such things for granted. Take the steps to make your home truly safe.<br /><span style="font-size:78%;">Did you find my tips on </span><a href="http://www.gethomesecurity.info/home_security_systems.php" target="_new"><span style="font-size:78%;">home alarm systems</span></a><span style="font-size:78%;"> helpful?

It's true.<br />The big chain restaurants spend time and money creating special "signature" dessert treats. In many cases they invest more in coming up with a new twist on a gooey double-fudge ice cream cake than they do in figuring out more ways to dress up their hamburgers. It just makes economic sense.<br />Loyal patrons of a given restaurant may really like the hamburgers, or the pasta, but it's those sinful desserts that often draw them back, meal after meal. Truly, a magnificent dessert can be the most addictive item on the menu.<br />That's why...<a href="http://moreexpresso.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Read more...</a></li><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;">To enjoy a favorite dish from a famous restaurant and surprise your family </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"><a href="http://capital35.drecipes.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_top">Click Here!</a> </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#3366ff;"></span></span><br /><br /></div><ul><br /><li><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"><span style="font-size:85%;color:#3366ff;">Red lobster</span></li><br /><li><span style="font-size:85%;color:#3366ff;">Applebee's</span><span style="font-size:85%;color:#3366ff;"> </span></li><br /><li><span style="font-size:85%;color:#3366ff;">Chili's</span></li><br /><li><span style="font-size:85%;color:#3366ff;">Olive garden</span></li><br /><li><span style="font-size:85%;color:#3366ff;">T.G.I Fridays</span></li><br /><li><span style="font-size:85%;color:#3366ff;">Outback steakhouse</span></li><br /><li><span style="font-size:85%;color:#3366ff;">Sturbucks</span><br /><br /><br /></li></ul></span><p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Get Inside The Hidden Cookbooks Of America's Favorite Restaurants!

But even with that knowledge, most of us settle for substandard conditions when it comes to our bed. Think about it – when was the last time you treated yourself with a new bed spread or comforter? If you are like most people, the answer is clearly too long. In this article, we’ll tell you where to shop for the best bed spread and comforters so that you can break your current nocturnal doldrums.<br />One of the best places to shop for bed spreads and comforters is ...<a href="http://sleeptide.blogspot.com" target="_blank">here</a></li>Milahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15133593386345495647noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7681660618399348845.post-25258609457423382282007-01-15T14:49:00.000-07:002007-01-15T15:14:48.956-07:00Design Tips To Create Space in a Crowded HomeTrying to accommodate children, personal relics and long-time furniture in your apartment can be a paramount challenge.<br />Here are some tips to create space in a busy apartment.<br /><span style="color:#ffcc66;"><strong>Lighting is everything!</strong></span> Flat overhead lighting makes your apartment seem smaller. Accessorize your apartment with separate light sources and lamps. Not only will this ‘stretch’ the corners of your room, it will give you control over your atmosphere, allowing you to conceal cluttered areas and highlight others to get the best and most flexible use out of your space.<br />Strategically place mirrors in your apartment to capitalize on natural light. This also creates the impression of extra space by tricking the eye into believing there is a twin room.<br /><strong><span style="color:#ffcc66;">Pale furniture will open up the room.</span></strong> You should also look for furniture that serves more than one purpose and will free up space in your busy apartment. Find a coffee table with built-in drawers, tables with enclosed cabinets, a couch with drawers underneath. Note that cabinets with sliding doors will save space because they do not encroach on the room when opened.<br />Position your couch facing the living room entrance to increase the sense of space and give your apartment a welcoming feel.<br />Choose lightweight, versatile furniture that can be moved around easily. Floor lamps and tables can be moved between studying and socializing areas as needed in your apartment.<br />Double up on apartment space by using a futon instead of a couch in your living room. This will come in handy for extra guests. Use bunk beds if you have multiple children sleeping in a single room, to create more floor space.<br />Making these easy changes will help you expand your apartment space.<br /><span style="font-size:78%;">Tina Barton is a writer for Paramount Properties, Ottawa’s second largest residential property management company.

Usually if they got their way, the room would be turned into a zoo or some kind of child fantasy and this certainly does not fit into the whole feel and décor of the house! So, it is going to be a task that generally needs a lot of thought.<br /><span style="font-family:courier new;color:#006600;"><strong>where to Start... </strong></span></div><div><span style="font-family:courier new;color:#006600;"><strong><li><a href="http://more2love.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Click here</a> <span style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;">for more info.</span></li><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span><br /><br /></strong></span><a href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-2288151-10454071" target="_top">Kids' Rugs</a> now available at Rugman.com.
