The wire basket filled with rich green moss balls can be used in so many areas. Fireplace, table by the window. On a bedside table. The cost is minimal but the impact is BIG! If you will notice the beautiful detailing on the wall behind the fireplace in this room. Become aware of how the mirror, the little greenery and the fireplace draws your eye to that space. If you will stand in the doorway of each room of your home, study it, and find the focal point of that room and that's where the emphasis needs to be. Play up the strong points of each space.

Up-to-date colors and patterns on a solid color sofa will always be a great buy.

Case in point. . . can I say more?
