From House to Home 10/31/07

This week's tips:
Cozy in for the Winter

Light up a powder room with tiny votive candles around the sink ledge or on a nearby table. Place some potpourri in a small dish or julep cup to keep the room fresh smelling.
Don't bring an old broom to a new house. Buy a new one to start fresh. After you use it to clean, change the furniture arrangment in your new living room and rearrange the accessories on your coffee tables.
Decorate a guest bathroom in a lighthouse theme. Replace traditional towel racks with solid brass ship anchors that can be installed on L-brackets, which will then hang away from the wall to serve as towel hooks.
Wash (or hire someone to wash) all the windows in your house because most homeowners do so only when they move in and before they move out.
Don't be afraid to mix different textures--like a stone floor in a kitchen with a smooth honed granite or marble countertop. But keep something in common, such as the color or pattern.
