Have some extra space in your home that you don’t know what to do with? Are you a movie buff, and a lover of classic films and Hollywood legends? How about creating a movie room? As far as the decor goes, a perfect way to create that perfect space is to pay homage to classic Hollywood. Go black and white! Of course, there are several shades of gray in between. Choose furniture in black, or gray, that’s big and comfy to relax on while watching your favorites. Long, extra wide, extra fluffy couches and recliners are the perfect choice for this type of space. Choose tables and shelving that is sleek, and smooth.
Try painting the walls a medium to dark gray color, with black accents. You could even hang curtains on the walls to "frame" the entertainment center. This will help make the area look like the old theaters that we rarely get to see anymore. Use lots of satin finish metal, and glass for surfaces. Track lighting, or strategically placed spot lights are good choices for lighting, and will really enhance the room if you put them on a dimmer switch, so that the lights can go down when the movie starts!
Of course, for the artwork, one of the best choices you can make is framed art depicting Hollywood classic movies and stars of the golden era. Why not start with the ultimate legend among actresses, Marilyn Monroe? Try this framed art print "Summertime Marilyn" on for size!

How To Create a Relaxation Room
These days, life is all fast paced and full of stress. It's all about how quickly you can get things done. Everything has to be bigger and better and faster. In times like these, I think we often forget to slow down, and relax. Instead of turning your spare room into an office (why bring your work home AND dedicate a whole space to it?) or a guest room, turn it into a relaxation room. A room like this is a perfect place to calm down, mellow out, and relieve yourself of all the stressors in your life. It’s a place for tranquility and release.
Use colors that will help promote tranquility, cool colors that promote restfulness. Blues, greens, and light purples are great color choices. Keep the room uncluttered, but comfortable. You don't want the room to be bare though, one piece of art on the wall that helps you to escape and feel relaxed is good. One example of such a piece of art would be Maria Sherbina's "Gladiolas". This piece is beautiful, and tranquil. Other things to include in your room would be a CD player, water fountain, face masks, soft blankets, and a comfy chair. Books, bottled water, and even some candles or plants are good choices as well. Things that you do not want to put in a relaxation room would include phones, televisions, computers, or fax machines. These things are a connection to the world that causes stress, you don't want them in the very place where you are trying to release that stress.

Creating a Warm Italian Vineyard Themed Kitchen
The "Tuscan" theme is all the rage these days for kitchens. It’s easier than ever to find the perfect items to help you bring this dream kitchen into reality. It seems like everywhere you turn there are items designed for this theme in a kitchen. But how do you create an original space using this theme, while still keeping your space warm and inviting?
Warm colors are a must. The kitchen, at least in Italy, is generally the center, the heart of the home. This is the room people typically congregate in, to share laughter and stories, share home-cooked meals, and generally enjoy each other’s company. Choose from the warm palette; warm rustic reds, tans, browns, and mustard-y yellows work very nicely. A faux finish technique on the walls would also look lovely! For an even more "old world" style, consider using a wallpaper or appliqué that resembles brick behind the stove, or perhaps a scenic wall appliqué.
If you have a long wall that is just begging for something to adorn it, a long horizontal hanging piece of art, such as Randy Peyton’s: "Midday at the Vineyards" would be a perfect choice. This will set the mood for the rest of your space, and might even help a smaller space feel larger than it actually is.
Finish off your room with some accessories, like some wine bottles, antiqued or rustic hardware, and attractive window treatments. A warm wall plaque with a saying about family, friends, or food would be a nice touch as well. The goal is to create a space that is attractive, but very comforting and inviting at the same time.

A Firefighter’s Room
In the homes of most firefighters, you are bound to find lots of firefighter memorabilia. This habit of collecting this memorabilia is practically a prerequisite for the job! Why not create a room, like a den, to display these things?
Obviously, red is a great color choice for the walls. A rich, warm red is a great choice. You can use it for the walls, or just for the trim. Accent sparingly with black to anchor the room. Use shelves, book cases, and even curio cabinets to help display the “stuff” collected over time! If you can get your hands on an old hydrant, or an old fire extinguisher, it’s a perfect item to turn into a side table! As for the walls, the perfect choice, the ultimate tribute piece, is T. Franklin’s “Flag Raising at Ground Zero.” It’s a great way to recognize and remember the men and women, the brothers and sisters that were lost. This is the image that is emblazoned on the minds of so many when thinking about that event.
Add some fun in the room, in the form of an entertainment center, with a tv, dvd player, and even a game system. If you can manage, add a surround sound speaker system for optimal sound. Finish off with some comfy, firehouse style furniture, like leather couches. If you can find some that are slightly distressed, it’s all the better. When you’ve completed your room, you will have a space that any firefighter would be thrilled to call his or her own!

Creating the Perfect Space for your Little Princess
Most little girls will tell you, they want to be a princess! Even though you can’t actually make her a princess, you can certainly give her a bedroom space that is fit for one! Walls, done in a soft hue, like pink, or yellow or pale lilac, are a perfect start. Window treatments that are long and dreamy are a perfect choice, or even faux window frames that make the window look like a castle’s window. Faux treatments on one wall, or a portion of all walls to look like stone would be a wonderful touch as well!
If you aren’t interested in buying a whole new bed, consider making a canopy that hangs from the ceiling above the bed. This is easily accomplished by either painting, or covering (with batting and fabric) a piece of light but sturdy wood, then attaching “curtains” of fabric to the back and attaching that to the ceiling towards the head of the bed. Little touches in the accessories for the room will go a long way too! Sweet, tiffany style lamps in matching colors, frilly throw pillows, and even a pretty rug are great touches, that won’t break the bank. Wall hangings are a great idea too. Consider a piece like the Disney Open Edition Print: Cinderella.
Cinderella is the ultimate princess as far as most little girls are concerned. What little girls wouldn’t love to snuggle in at night and see that print above the bed? This print would be a perfect finishing touch for your little princess’ room!

Is Your Bathroom Art-Worthy?
While the way a bathroom looks does not matter to some people, to others a bathroom is their true sanctuary. Of course, while nobody spends all of their relaxation time in the bathroom, there is a certain level of comfort that comes from a bathroom that happens to be put together nicely. This could mean anything from the color on the walls to the kinds of decoration that you will find on the walls, shelving and more.
If you are the type of person who likes to have people over regularly for various dinners or gatherings, it is imperative that you have a guest bathroom that has a good amount of cozy decoration. While you do not have to break the bank in order to place an expensive piece of sculpture in your bathroom, a few strategically placed prints could make a world of difference to the entire look and feel of the space.
To find the right piece of art, it is a good idea to try and look past the fact that it will be hanging in your bathroom. No matter what the room may be, any piece of art will look amazing, especially if it speaks to each of your guests on an inviting level every time they have the chance to glance at it.

A Stillness In the Woods
Have you ever been in a woodland area where it was so quiet that you could actually hear the snow cascade quietly to the earth? It may seem impossible, but there are those rare places deep in the woods where silence pervades the very ether. Imagine walking through the woods on a cold winter day. The air is crisp and clean, and neither man nor animal has disturbed the remote stillness. You walk further, and suddenly you find yourself in surreal world that is both a dream and reality.
These are moments and memories that are buried deep with us, and when we find a work of beauty that evokes long-forgotten emotions; it's only natural to be deeply drawn to it. David Lorenz Winston captures the feeling perfectly in his framed art print: "Quiet Woods". You can make this fine work of photographic art a part of your personal collection. It's great art décor for any room or setting, and can easily make any corner in your home or office the center of attention.
"Quiet Woods" is the type of art that will bring a measure of peace and quiet to any setting, and is perfect for the art admirer that marches-to- the-beat of a different drummer. And the beat is pensive and thoughtful. Great art is far more than a painting or work of photography. It defines an emotion unique to each of us, and can forever capture a moment that we can experience time and time again.
