I recently moved into a new apartment in Brooklyn an wanted to make it really special – at least, not dingy looking like my old apartment. I needed curtains, furniture and area rugs at wholesale prices! A friend told me about 1800GetARug.com which is a really awesome wholesale for fine imported oriental rugs. I scored a cool rug at a great price. Apartment is looking good!

I’m 26 and in the last six months alone I’ve been to three weddings. ALL my friends are getting married now, and that means I need to get wedding home décor gifts – but I don’t want to spend a fortune on them, or a lot of time choosing and buying them. I recently discovered DecorativeGifts.net, and it’s great – they have such beautiful gifts, it’s easy to shop online, and the prices are really affordable. Recently, I got an Italian hand painted glass decorative vase for only $39.99 including tax – perfect wedding gift.
I love coffee tables. They’re just so handy for resting your coffee and magazines, and they look beautiful when they’re adorned with a vase of flowers. I have coffee tables in almost every room of the house – in the living room, sitting room, the guest bedroom and our room. I recently bought a lovely new Antigo Coffee Table Set from TheClassyHome.com – it has a gunmetal finish and the tabletop has tiles in warm shades. Check out the coffee tables and end tables at TheClassyHome.com.
My husband and I just bought our first home, a fairly small little cottage that we wanted to make special with beautiful rugs, home décor, furniture and crystal chandeliers! You don’t see too many crystal chandeliers these days –people must think they’re expensive – but we found our great priced crystal chandelier at KingdomLightUSA.com, which offers significant discounts off retail prices on all lighting. We got a Maria Theresa mini crystal chandelier for only $159 when it’s usually over $400, and we love it.
Call me weird, but my secret to giving my home a makeover once in a while is to update my cabinet knobs – it’s cheaper and easier than repainting the walls or recarpeting the floor, and it looks great! My search for good quality knobs recently took me to Knobbery.com, which has a great range of kitchen cabinet knobs and brass door knobs. I updated my daughter’s chest of drawers with whimsical pink daisy door knob hardware (only about $3 ea) and she loves it.
We’ve lived in the same house in Boro Park, Brooklyn, for 20 years and decided recently to get it appraised. We wanted to get an accurate property estimation from a trusted home appraisal service so we really relied on word of mouth and recommendations from friends and family. We finally decided on ReliableAppraisers.com which uses advanced technology to carry out accurate home appraisal. We were able to get a home appraisal consultant to our house the day after we booked and were really happy with the quality and efficiency of the service.
I recently had to fork out a whole lot of cash when my washing machine decided to break down. It didn’t die, but it needed some pretty extensive (and expensive) repairs. So, I decided to look into home warranty plans, which cover household appliances and systems like air conditioning, heating, microwaves, clothes dryers and washing machines. I took out home warranty insurance with Anchor Home Protection, and now I have peace of mind knowing that when something breaks down, I can just make a call and it will get fixed quickly.
I recently redecorated my son’s bedroom and gave it a fresh coat of paint and wall decorations to reflect his new interest in cars! I found a car-shaped lamp at a thrift store and also found some cool Amerock cabinet knobs shaped like trucks at Knobs-N-Pulls.com. Knobs-N-Pulls.com has a great range of hardware knobs and pulls for kids’ rooms, including pulls shaped like dolls, sporting equipment, airplanes, firetrucks, and more. Funky cabinet knobs are a great and inexpensive way to add some extra color to your child’s bedroom!
Karastan area rugs are perfect for tying a room together. They lend a certain cohesion and dimension of comfort that otherwise a room wouldn’t have at all. Believe me, I know. I just bought two karastan area rugs to cover my living room and my dining room, and suddenly the spaces have become much more intimate. I bought them from Boro Rugs, which has a large collection of commercial carpeting and home rugs. They even have vinyl tile flooring, a great way to decorate a kitchen floor, because with all the potential spillage in a kitchen, you can’t have a nice rug.
If you’re looking for windows, and I mean serious windows – hurricane windows and impact resistant windows, then www.TIcontractors.com is the place to go. Not only are these heavy duty windows perfect for extreme weather, but they look great too. Small home repairs and office build- outs are ideal times for sprucing up your windows. Impact resistant windows are great if you have an office near a lot of trees. During the winter time, loose branches can scratch, or even crack windows, causing heavy damage. It’s better to invest in quality windows now, before you need to spend extra on repairs.
