| Note From Melanie |
 |
|
The holiday season is the time of year when we begin
thinking of our friends and family and all of the
things we are thankful for. In the spirit of
Thanksgiving I would like to thank my clients for
the past year. It has been great working with all of
you and I truly thank you for your business. I have
had a great year meeting new clients and working on
your projects and will continue to enjoy working
with you all through the coming year. I hope you all
have a happy Thanksgiving, with as many wonderful
things and people to be thankful for.
Until next time, Happy Decorating!
Melanie

| Create Your Own Personal Oasis |
|
|
Whether looking for a neat innovative gift for
someone who has everything, wanting to make a big
impression on friends and family over for the
holidays, or just wanting to add some cool new
features to your home, these are the top ten
amenities for making your home an oasis.
- Digital video surveillance. Now you can keep an
eye on your home from anywhere you can access the
Internet. Keep piece of mind while on vacation, or
catch the kids having a house party while you are
out of town, it's a great way of keeping an eye on
your home when you can't be there.
- Home theater rooms. Enjoy the silver screen from
the comforts of your own home. You can finally go to
the movies in your pajamas!
- Wine rooms. These temperature controlled rooms
are great for those wine connoisseurs and give a
romantic element to your home.
- Outdoor kitchens. What better way to enjoy the
outdoors than preparing a meal in it? A step up from
the barbecue grill, these outdoor kitchens come
equipped with stoves, ovens and refrigerators, great
to host happy hour for a party or enjoy a romantic
dinner for two on the patio.
- Mosquito repellant systems. No more smelly
sprays, these misters are time controlled with
on-the- spot remote controls, allowing your yard to
stay continuously pest free.
- Multiple shower heads. Whether having several
shower heads or one really big one, you can turn
your bathroom into your very own personal spa.
- Heated or cooled flooring. Great for those hot
summers or those cold tile floors in the winter!
- Geothermal heat pumps. With rising energy costs
these heat pumps will be the wave of the future.
They use earth's natural heat instead of outside
air, used for hot water, air conditioning and
heating.
- Home automation. This brings new meaning to
"Universal Remote." Now you can control almost all
of your home appliances with a click of the remote.
- Misters. These sprayers mounted to the outside
wall of your home provide a cool breeze while you
are out gardening in the hot summer air.

| Feng Shui Tip of The Month |
|
|
With the holiday season upon us we will be gathering
around tables to give thanks and share meals with
friends and family. Here are some feng shui tips to
promote health and happiness over the holidays:
- To provide adequate time for conversation and
digestion, chairs at the dining table should be
comfortable enough to accommodate long dinners.
- Good back rests and arms are ideal, the shape of
the four animal spirits, and more comfortable too.
- Place backs of chairs toward walls rather than
doors or windows.
- To represent luck, chairs should be even in
number, single chairs represent loneliness. If you
have an odd number of chairs, add an extra chair
even if you have an uneven number of guests.
- Round tables are best. Octagonal would be the
next choice. If you have a square or rectangular
table make sure no one gets a corner, it may cause
digestive problems or a bad temper.
