A clay chiminea is a functional addition to your backyard. It is an economical and beautiful outdoor heating device which not only keeps you warm outdoors, but also adds beauty and style to your backyard. It is important to take some precautions while using a clay chiminea. A clay chiminea has two parts – the fire bowl and the chiminea neck. You should be extra careful while transporting it to prevent damage. Holding a clay chiminea by neck can cause damage to it, so you should always hold it by the base. It is important to season your chiminea while using it for the first time. This will tighten the pores on the inside, and will prevent cracks and hot spots. Allow the first fire to burn on its own for a couple of hours and cool completely before lighting up another fire. Cleaning after every use is also very important. Never clean your clay chiminea using water. You can read more about clay chimineas at Outdoor Living.

How to Use and Care Your Clay Chiminea?
Thursday, October 13th, 2011Anywhere in the Home
Saturday, September 17th, 2011Large area rugs can be used in so many different areas of your home. Many people seem to think that rugs should only be used in the living room or the dining room of your house. You should never limit yourself when attempting to add character to your home. An idea you could use is putting a large rug of the correct texture in the entertainment area of your home or even the outside braai area. This could work for enclosed outside rooms of your house that have large amounts of sunlight streaming in. The effect a rug can give in these areas is the feeling of the comfort of being indoors while enjoying the wonders of being outdoors. So don’t hide it or subject your rug to the common areas, surprise people by using them in unexpected places it can really bring the rug and the space alive and can be a stroke of decorating genius.
I Love the New Bed!
Thursday, September 8th, 2011I knew that our old bed was really uncomfortable, and it was way too small. We looked for new beds because we knew that we needed an upgrade in order to sleep more comfortably. Sometimes, there are just some things that we are going to need to do in order to make our lives just a little better as a couple. We hated our old queen bed, and we think that a new king sized bed would be so much better. We were right! I think that it was a worthy investment, and it really helps that the squeaking of the wood stopped. We got ourselves a nice leather bed that looks more modern than the one that we “inherited” from my husband’s dead grandmother. If my in-laws say anything about it, I am just going to tell them where we dumped it, so that they can go retrieve it and experience it for themselves.

Garden Fountains for Enhancing the Home
Thursday, August 4th, 2011One of the best purchases I’ve made for my yard was 2 garden fountains. I had been searching for a while for an accessory to put outside that was both stylish but not overpowering. It’s hard, because some items end up taking the focus off the rest of the area (like landscape, flowers, and other things). You have to strike a balance of having something that adds to the scene without becoming the focus. One of my friends had a garden fountani in her backyard and I thought it looked really nice. It’s simple, sort of like a bird bath, and the sound of the water is just enough for background noise. So I ended up purchasing 2! I got one for the front yard and one for the backyard. I really could not be happier with it. My home looks better and we all enjoy spending time outside more.
