Remember the fashion rules of yesteryear?  Do not wear white after labor day–no white pants, no white shoes, no white handbags.  Well, as with most old rules, those days are gone and it is not only OK but trendy to wear white all year long.  The same holds true for your home.

White slipcovers have long been associated with summer decorating.  They remind us of vacation homes on the beach or the cabin by the lake.  If you use slipcovers in your everyday rooms there is no reason to change them out now that summer is over.  Warm them up a bit with cozy throws and pillows in colors of the season.  For example this Waverly fabric featuring a black and white all over pattern is very sophisticated and can be used year round.  If warmer colors are what you are looking for mix brown with turquoise, orange, red or gold for a real autumn feel.

If the idea of white slipcovers is just too summery for you, consider replacing them with off-white or an oatmeal color to achieve the same light feel in a warmer tone.  You could even keep the seat cushions white and use beige for the body of the furniture to create a two-tone effect.  This color combination can certainly be used year round.

White painted walls, a white porcelain collection, white lampshades, crisp white linens, white cable knit throws, a fluffy white tassel on a dark wooden door, a fluffy white shag rug to warm your feet—see–your home can wear white after labor day!  All of the fabrics shown are available here.

Combine this with white slipcovers for a sophisticated look.Beacon Hill

This year my loofahs have set the garden on fire.

They have grown up my shed onto my fence and across my clothesline.

The secret to my success is two-fold.

One, I started my seeds indoors in February. This gave my loofahs plenty of time to grow since they require a long growing season to be exact at least 180 says of warm weather. The second secret to my loofah success is something I cannot take credit for that is Mother Nature. This year’s weather was just perfect for loofah production.

But while I am ecstatic about my loofah crop I am at the same time wondering what to do with all these loofahs. One thing I am trying this year is cooking with them. To my surprise the small ones are excellent in stir-fries and salads. T

When it’s autumn it is time for the trees to go green, all leaves, turning in to shades of gold and yellow. With deciduous trees around it will be a perfect autumn. The color transform is supposed to be for less time, say for a week. This is possible when you cut off old leafs and let the new ones grow. If you are fond of maintaining home gardens and pots, the metal rake of 20 inches to 30 inches wide, are best to remove most of the leaves in less time.

Take care to cushion the handle around to avoid blisters and harms on hands while operating them. Scrape all dry leaves and let the fresh new green ones enter in to life. If in case you wish to manage all about lawns and grass alongside your residence, metal rake will be one best option.

Cutting the leaves and leaf mulching is a simple procedure with proper equipments. I

Rose arches have undergone something of a revival recently, though true rose lovers have always sworn by them. They were an essential feature of many gardens in the past, but nowadays tend to be found only in large parks and rose gardens. A climber or rambler grown over an arch, pergola or trellis can be a very good vertical substitute if you don’t have the horizontal space for a rose bed. But it can also form a colorful and eye-catching showpiece for the garden, especially if grown on an arch over a gate or door. If you plant a number of arches -10 ft (2-3 m) apart, you have a magnificent pergola which will turn an otherwise unassuming path into a thing of beauty in its own right.

You can buy ready-made metal or plastic arches: the stems simply hook onto them, so there’s no need to tie them in place. Buy

Webster’s dictionary defines faux as an “imitation” and comes from the french word for false.  We often hear it applied to animal fur as in a faux fur jacket.  But this word is also used in interior decorating. 

• Faux painting has been popular for many years and is used to replicate tuscan plaster, for example.  The process  can also be used to imitate wood grain, leather, suede etc. and applied to the art of trompe l’oeuil, mural painting and other wall treatments.
• For those of you interested in avoiding the use of animal skins (or the high price tag) there is pleather.  This is a vinyl type fabric that is supposed to look and feel like real leather.  It falls a bit short of the real thing but is a good substitute for an ottoman, bar stools, a headboard etc. where the look o
