		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>A Simple Way To Profit From Affiliate Marketing</b><br><p>&nbsp;by: <b>Christine Darrington</b><p><p><p><p>Affiliate Marketing is a widespread method of promoting a website, in which an affiliate is rewarded for every sale generated through his/her efforts.<p><p>When it comes to Affiliate Marketing, there are many ways to make money.  Even though any one of them can lead you to a successful and profitable business, the research and work involved can be so overwhelming that you find yourself exhausted practically before you begin. Then that uncontrollable desire to procrastinate takes over and you either never get started or you?re not able to finish anything that you do begin.<p><p>That is what happens to many people when they?re first starting out. In fact, it can ultimately lead them to believe that only a few Internet savvy people can make money promoting affiliate programs.<p><p>If in fact only 5% of affiliate marketers ever made money that does not mean that only 5% of affiliate marketers can be successful.<p><p>Read the first paragraph again. This is the main reason why only 5% of those that try actually succeed. It is not because affiliate marketing is difficult or only for the more educated, or worse the more lucky person that just fell into it accidentally.<p><p>If you are willing to put in a little time and effort, you will quickly get a taste of success. Procrastination will no longer have the ability to slow you down. You will be so thrilled with just a taste of success; you?ll want to sit down and begin taking that little extra time to watch your efforts grow.<p><p>So, for now, how about taking baby steps. First, follow this simple plan to a successful affiliate marketing campaign. Once you see that you can do it, and that it actually works, you will have the confidence to take on something a little more involved.<p><p>Start by learning what you will NOT need:<p><p>*NO website required to get this started. *NO huge investment for pay per click marketing. (No PPC needed in this plan.) *NO long-winded ebooks to read, just follow this plan. *NO software required!<p><p>So, what DO you need?<p><p>*You will need an affiliate program to promote. Choose one with an excellent sales letter and quality product. You may even want to choose a program that offers a monthly residual income. A residual income is generated through programs that charge the customer on a monthly subscription bases. The affiliate is paid every month the customer continues to subscribe.<p><p>Now for the route to promoting your affiliate program.<p><p>Writing articles is the perfect avenue to do this. Every article you write and allow others to read, copy and distribute on their own sites and in their ezines, is an opportunity for your affiliate program to be promoted as well.<p><p>Each article you write will have a resource box with your name and a small paragraph containing whatever it is you?d like to say. This is where you would promote your affiliate program and where you add your affiliate link.<p><p>Your resource box should say something to motivate your readers into clicking on your affiliate link.<p><p>Once you?ve written your article, it?s time to submit it to article directories and ezines. You will need to submit your articles to more than a few. Because it is a time consuming and tedious job to do this, you may want to consider paying to have your articles submitted.<p><p>You may be thinking this sounds too simple to work. And you are right, it is simple, but it does require work. And let?s face it. In order to make money you are going to have to DO something.<p><p>If you can commit to consistently writing articles each month, you will soon be on your way to building a residual income that takes very little time to maintain.<p><p>This is a very simple yet effective plan. It costs you nothing but your time to write and submit the articles.<p><p>Whatever you decide to do, stay focused. Don?t give up. You can do it!<p><p>Copyright 2006 Christine Darrington<p><p><p><p><p><table width=100% cellpadding=8 cellspacing=0 border=0 bgcolor=#dddddd><p><tr><td><p><p><b>About The Author</b><br><p><p><p>Christine Darrington - Successful web designer and childrens author.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>A Guide To Writing Successful Website Copy</b><br><p>&nbsp;by: <b>Steve Hattrick</b><p><p><p><p>We all know that the lion?s share of web traffic comes through the search engines. We also know that keywords and links to your site are the two things that affect your ranking in the search engines. Your keywords tell the search engines what you do, and the inbound links tell them how important you are. This combination is what determines your relevance. And relevance is what the search engines are after.<p><p>There?s a lot of information around about how to incorporate keyword phrases into your HTML meta tags. But that?s only half the battle. You need to think of these tags as street-signs. That?s how the search engines view them. They look at your tags and then at your copy. If the keywords you use in your tags aren?t used in your copy, your site won?t be indexed for those keywords.<p><p>But the search engines don?t stop there. They also consider how often the keyword phrase is used on the page. <p><p>To put it simply, if you don?t pepper your site with your primary keywords, you won?t appear in the search results when a potential customer searches for those keywords. <p><p>But how do you write keyword-rich copy without compromising readability? <p><p>Readability is all-important to visitors. And after all, it?s the visitors that buy your product or service, not search engines. <p><p>By following these 8 simple guidelines, you?ll be able to overhaul the copy on your website ensuring it?s agreeable to both search engines and visitors. <p><p>1) Categorise your pages<p><p>Before writing, think about the structure of your site. If you haven?t built your site yet, try to create your pages around key offerings or benefits. For example, divide your Second Hand Computers site into separate pages for Macs, and PCs, and then segment again into Notebooks, Desktops, etc. This way, you?ll be able to incorporate very specific keyword phrases into your copy, thereby capturing a very targeted market. If you?re working on an existing site, print out each page and label it with its key point, offering, or benefit. <p><p>2) Find out what keywords your customers are searching for<p><p>Go to <a href="http://wordtracker.com" target=new>wordtracker.com</a> and subscribe for a day (this will only cost you about AUD$10). Type in the key points, offerings, and benefits you identified for each page, and spend some time analysing what words customers use when they?re searching for these things. These are the words you?ll want to use to describe your product or service. (Make sure you read WordTracker?s explanation of their results.) <p><p>3) Use phrases, not single words<p><p>Although this advice isn?t specific to the web copy, it?s so important that it?s worth repeating here. Why? Well firstly, there?s too much competition for single keywords. If you?re in computer sales, don?t choose ?computers? as your primary keyword. Go to Google and search for ?computers? and you?ll see why? Secondly, research shows that customers are becoming more search-savvy ? they?re searching for more and more specific strings. They?re learning that by being more specific, they find what they?re looking for much faster. Ask yourself what?s unique about your business? Perhaps you sell cheap second hand computers? Then why not use ?cheap second hand computers? as your primary keyword phrase. This way, you?ll not only stand a chance in the rankings, you?ll also display in much more targeted searches. In other words, a higher percentage of your site?s visitors will be people after cheap second hand computers. (WordTracker?s results will help you choose the most appropriate phrases.) <p><p>4) Pick the important keyword phrases<p><p>Don?t include every keyword phrase on every page. Focus on one or two keyword phrases on each page. For your Macs page, focus on ?cheap second hand macs?. For the PCs page, focus on ?cheap second hand pcs?, etc. <p><p>5) Be specific<p><p>Don?t just say ?our computers?. Wherever you would normally say ?our computers?, ask yourself if you can get away with saying ?our cheap second hand Macs? or ?our cheap second hand PCs?. If this doesn?t affect your readability too badly, it?s worth doing. It?s a fine balance though. Remember, your site reflects the quality of your service. If your site is hard to read, people will infer a lot about your service? <p><p>6) Use keyword phrases in links<p><p>Although you shouldn?t focus on every keyword phrase on every page, it?s a good idea to link your pages together with text links. This way, when the search engines look at your site, they?ll see that the pages are related. Once again, the more text links the better, especially if the link text is a keyword phrase. So on your ?Cheap Second Hand Macs? page, include a text link at the bottom to ?Cheap Second Hand PCs?. If you can manage it without affecting readability, also include one within the copy of the page. For example, ?As well as providing cheap second hand Macs, we sell high quality cheap second hand PCs?. TIP: If you don?t want your links to be underlined and blue, include the following in your CSS file: <p><p>Then format the HTML of each link as follows: <p><p>As well as providing cheap second hand Macs, we sell high quality cheap second hand pcs. <p><p>7) Use keyword phrases in headings<p><p>Just as customers rely on headings to scan your site, so to do search engines. This means headings play a big part in how the search engines will categorise your site. Try to include your primary keyword phrases in your headings. In fact, think about inserting extra headings just for this purpose. Generally this will also help the readability of the site because it will help customers scan read. <p><p>8) Test keyword phrase density<p><p>Once you?ve made a first pass at the copy, run it through a density checker to get some metrics. Visit GoRank's Keyword Density Analyzer and type in the domain and keyword phrase you want to analyse. It?ll give you a percentage for all the important parts of your page, including copy, title, meta keywords, meta description, etc. The higher the density the better. Generally speaking, a density measurement of at least 3-5% is what you?re looking for. Any less, and you?ll probably need to take another pass. <p><p>Follow these guidelines, and you?ll be well on your way to effective SEO copy. <p><p>Just remember, don?t overdo it. It?s not easy to find the balance between copy written for search engines and copy written for customers. In many cases, this balance will be too difficult to achieve without professional help. Don?t worry, though. If you?ve already performed your keyword analysis, a professional website copywriter should be able to work your primary keyword phrases into your copy at no extra charge.<p><p><p><p><p><table width=100% cellpadding=8 cellspacing=0 border=0 bgcolor=#dddddd><p><tr><td><p><p><b>About The Author</b><br><p><p><p>Steve Hattrick owns and runs konteaki furniture<p>one of the leading furniture stores in the UK<p>As well as developing and marketing their webstore.<p><p><p><a href="mailto:steve@konteaki.co.uk">steve@konteaki.co.uk</a><p><p><p><p><p></td></tr><p></table>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>Ideas to Give Old Furniture New Life</b><br><p>&nbsp;by: <b>Bob Benson</b><p><p><p><p>The best thing about old furniture is the new life you can give it. It doesn?t take much talent ? just a little creativity and patience if you?ve never taken on a furniture project before.<p><p>Accept this challenge: instead of throwing out that old chest of drawers from your child?s room, think of a new use for it. Recycling furniture can be a lot of fun, plus it?s a  good way to get a new look at a fraction of the cost. If you are not happy with the finished product, start over or then give in to purchase a new furniture piece.<p><p>Think about that old chest of drawers. Is there a drawer that?s broken? Maybe you can take out that drawer and create a shelf from the opening. Would it make a nice TV stand if it was just a little taller? Consider screwing finials that you can find in your local discount store onto the bottom to create ?legs? or ?feet.? <p><p>And never underestimate the power of a coat of paint! Old furniture gets a quick update when painted. If you like the shabby chic look, tatter the fresh paint job a bit by sanding around corners and other heavy use areas to create a worn look. If it?s your first time to try this furniture painting technique, invest in an inexpensive kit that can be found at any retail discount store.<p><p>If you are really creative and not afraid to try new things with your old furniture, you can create some funky new accessories for your home. Use an old dresser as a sink basin for your bathroom. Use the headboard or footboard from a twin size bed as the back of a bench. <p><p>Giving your old furniture a new look does not always include creating a new function for it. For instance, drape and tuck fabric over an old sofa or love seat to give it a ?slipcovered? look. Or, hot glue some fabric on top of the old rattan panels on the coffee table you?ve had for years. Trim it out by hot gluing some braided trim around the edges and you?ve created a new look for the table.<p><p>If your piece of furniture was painted but you?d like to give it a stained look, give it a try. Most woods are easily stripped of paint and stain can be applied in the color and intensity of your choice. Just follow the directions supplied by the stain manufacturer.<p><p>Give the lacquer-look furniture popular in past years an up to date look by using a combination of painting and staining. To get a brown leather look, brush your lacquer furniture lightly first with sand paper just enough to rough up the surface so the paint will adhere better. Then, use a red primer color spray paint on the furniture. Once the primer dries, use an oil-based brown stain and a plastic bag to create the leathery look. Working with a small area at a time, use a sponge ?brush? to paint on the stain. Crinkle a plastic bag and open it up. Press the crinkled bag on top of the stain and sweep the bag quickly off the furniture. The motion will pull the stain around, creating the lines associated with leather. Kits are also available for this technique.<p><p><p><p><p><p><table width=100% cellpadding=8 cellspacing=0 border=0 bgcolor=#dddddd><p><tr><td><p><p><b>About The Author</b><br><p><p><p>Bob Benson is the founder of Furniture  online.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>Furnishing And Decorating Your Own Home</b><br><p>&nbsp;by: <b>Dakota Caudilla</b><p><p><p><p>Asking yourself furnishing and decorating questions<p><p>Whether you?re decorating a room or a house, a dorm or a castle, the same principle in furnishing and interior decoration applies. You will need to identify and find your own personal preference. There?s no shortcut for this process. In order to find your own personal preference as to interior decoration and furnishing, you have to, first, focus in on your likes and dislikes. Do you prefer a casual style or a more artistic and modern look for your home? Would you prefer contemporary interior decoration done or French?<p><p>Only when you stop and think about what you like will you be able to decorate and furnish a room or home according to your likes and dislikes. A home should express your own unique taste and preference ? not someone else?s.<p><p>Get inspired with interior decoration pictures and researching on furniture and colors<p><p>Go to a newsstand and grab a good copy of a home furnishing magazine or better yet, go and buy yourself a good book on how to decorate a home or furnish a rent apartment. This should get you started soon enough. The next step to decorating and furnishing your home is to find out what colors interests you. Select the color and shade that makes you think of HOME ? and then try combining the colors together. There are tons of quizzes and questionnaires online that can help you identify your favorite color?if you don?t already have a couple of favorite colors in mind. However, note that sometimes your favorite color may not be the right color and shade to use on your home. For instance, if your favorite colors are lime green, bright sunny yellow and crimson red, it?s pretty hard to match the colors together and not make the home look like a circus tent!<p><p>Looking at pictures of well-decorated homes can help you identify your personal style as well. Select the pictures that you like and compile them together in a special interior decoration book that you will continue to look through until your home is decorated and furnished. Sometimes, looking at pictures, you?ll surprise yourself with the conclusions. From time to time, look through the pictures again and see if you can see similarities ? like if most of the homes you like are with mirrors, white or dimly lit. Do the homes look very serene or open?<p><p>Take note of the make, color and design of the furniture and decoration of the room that you like<p><p>If you?re still stumped for answers and ideas, take a look at chairs, sofas, beds, closets, cupboards and try to identify the ones that you like. Note their type and make. Are they wood types mainly brown and earth-toned? Are they bright and cheerful? Or are they white or beige in color? Are they leaning more towards conventional types of furniture, bold and modern or are they classy types of furniture? <p><p>Decorating and furnishing your own home is not as hard as people make it out to be. It?s only difficult and feels like a chore when you?re not sure what you want your home to look like. Once you know what you like and what kind of furniture, color and look you like, decorating and furnishing your own home will be a walk in a park.<p><p><p><p><p><table width=100% cellpadding=8 cellspacing=0 border=0 bgcolor=#dddddd><p><tr><td><p><p><b>About The Author</b><br><p><p><p>Dakota Caudilla, journalist, and website builder Dakota Caudilla lives in Texas.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>10 Spring Decorating Ideas To Bring Your Home Back To Life!</b><br><p>&nbsp;by: <b>Michael Holland</b><p><p><p><p>Not all home decorating ideas require a heavy investment of time and money. If you're looking for a few affordable home interior decorating ideas to freshen up a room over a weekend, try these ten:<p><p>1. Rearrange The Furniture- Pull your furniture away from the walls. Try positioning it at intriguing angles. For example, a sofa arranged diagonally across a narrow living room will make the room look wider.<p><p>2. Group Figurines- Pull out your favorite collectibles. Show off your personality. Find a display area and group related objects together, in sets of three or five. Try and vary the shapes. <p><p>3. Add A Throw Or Afghan- Similar to decorative pillows, throws and afghans add texture to your furniture. They come in all kinds of natural and man made fabrics. Find a pattern and style that you like.<p><p>4. Paint A Wall- Paint one wall your favorite color and make it the focal point. Hang interesting art on that wall and move a nice piece of furniture there. (Note: Make sure that the color is one that is shared with several other objects and fabrics in the room.) <p><p>5. Hang Pictures or Mirror- Hang pictures that reflect your personality. Try frames that are more ornate. When hanging a mirror, try and position it so that it reflects and nice view or an interesting architectural element. <p><p>6. Add Decorative Pillows- The good news about decorative pillows is that they are an easy way to add textures and patterns to a room. Still better, they can be changed to jazz up a sofa or chair before your room is ready for a major makeover. <p><p>7. Replace Lamps- Lamps are probably the one thing in your home that will give others a clue that your room is outdated. Seek out new and fresh lamps that make a statement. <p><p>8. Bring In Plants- Greenery always adds a breath of fresh air to a room. If you don't have a green thumb, try silk plants and trees. The quality has gotten so good that its hard to distinguish them from the real thing. <p><p>9. Lay An Area Rug- An area rug is a wonderful way of defining a conversation area. Try one that complements the room. Lay it at an angle beneath your coffee table. <p><p>10. Eliminate Clutter-  Clutter has a way of eliminating the desired mood and effect of any room. Find storage spaces for papers, toys, and other items that take from the personality of a room.  <p><p><p><p><p><table width=100% cellpadding=8 cellspacing=0 border=0 bgcolor=#dddddd><p><tr><td><p><p><b>About The Author</b><br><p><p><p>Michael Holland is the creator of the Web sites <a href="http://www.kids-rooms-and-crafts.com" target=new>http://www.kids-rooms-and-crafts.com</a> and <a href="http://www.home-decorating-made-easy.com" target=new>http://www.home-decorating-made-easy.com</a>.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>How to Kickstart a Good Bedroom Design Project?</b><br><p>&nbsp;by: <b>Shrinivas Vaidya</b><p><p><p><p>Dear friends, <p><p>Any room in your home is primarily a space within walls, floor and a ceiling. When the structure or the apartment gets constructed, the architect and the structural contractor has taken all the care that it is stable and can withstand outside natural forces like, earthquakes, heavy winds, rainfalls, etc.. <p><p>Amongst all other rooms the bedroom is a space where comfort levels have to be kept maximum. But the word comfort is a  relative term. The meaning of comfort is not just a sleep of 8 hours. A good sleep inside a bedroom is a bare minimum  expectation which can not be ignored. <p><p>But comfort varies from person to person. For someone it feels good by just sitting in a rocking chair, sipping a cup of coffee and enjoying good view around the house or for someone it could be listening to good music or watching night sky full of stars. <p><p>So when it comes to design any space many aspects come into consideration. Design is not just arrangement of furniture, choosing color schemes, deciding textures/finishes etc..It has to deal with "feeling good" about the space.  <p><p>Of course all these factors when used in a unique way, can turn out to be a great design. The above mentioned "feel good"  factor comes about by selecting a "theme" based design. <p><p>When we try to look towards the empty space through a  theme, everything gets a definition and can be dealt upon easily. <p><p>Let's see an example. <p><p>If I decide to decorate a bedroom which is empty, first I will have to decide on a particular style to execute. If it's my own bedroom then I must know what kind of style best suits my personality. This choice of style will greatly influence, the kind of furniture, color scheme, finishes I use. <p><p>Here I can go for contemporary style/oriental style/country style. All these have a unique set of parameters right from the layout of furniture to what diameter should I use for the curtain rods. <p><p>A design deals with a big view starting from furniture layout  and goes in-depth, deciding with each and every minute details of linen. All these affect the final expression, which is required for "feeling good". All these detailing will change the moment to shift from your theme/style. <p><p>That's why by fragmenting the entire design process into theme options can make the process easier and gives a direction to start the execution of any project.  <p><p>If you are designing for someone else, it's a good idea to first know your client's likes and dislikes. I mean his personality, his hobbies, his job profile, etc... Remember that HE is going to use this room, it's his baby.  <p><p>Of course once you start with a theme, it normally happens that you will get more richer and creative ideas during primary sketching process.  <p><p>I hope this article was helpful. <p><p>Copyright 2005 Shrinivas Vaidya<p><p><p><p><p><table width=100% cellpadding=8 cellspacing=0 border=0 bgcolor=#dddddd><p><tr><td><p><p><b>About The Author</b><br><p><p><p>Shrinivas Vaidya<p><p>For more powerful and in-depth concept level knowledge of<p>bedroom design visit <a href="http://Bedroom-Design-And-decorating-Ideas.com" target=new>Bedroom-Design-And-decorating-Ideas.com</a>.<p>You will find some good tips on designing various kinds of bedrooms.<p><p><p><p><p><p><p></td></tr><p></table>]]></content:encoded>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>How To Pick A Feng Shui House</b><br><p>&nbsp;by: <b>Henry Zhang</b><p><p><p><p>Back door points to the front door<p><p>If you can see the back door of your house while standing at the front door, then the homeowner will be unable to accumulate fortune and there will be tension in the family. The solution for this problem is to put a screen in the middle of the house, or otherwise divide the center of the room.  Another option is to move the back door.<p><p>Irregular Room<p><p>Rooms should be shaped in a rectangle or a square.  However, a lot of houses on the market have rooms where the shape is irregular.  Sometimes a corner of the room is missing such as shown in the following picture.  This type of room is a mistake according to Feng Shui design.  The homeowner will have different problems depending on the direction of the corner.  The solution is to paint that wall in warm colors or put some flowers in that corner.<p><p>The base of a house<p><p>There are a lot of houses are not built on a flat piece of land.  The house should be built on a level plane.  But it is better for the front of the house to be built on a low point, and the back to be built on a high point than for the front to be built on a high point and the back on a low point. <p><p>Dead End of a Road<p><p>Feng Shui means wind and water.  Water is a very important factor in Feng Shui design.  In the countryside, water means rivers, lakes, or creeks.  In the city, water means a road. A house sitting in the end of a dead-end road is the worst situation in Feng Shui.<p><p>Door Direction<p><p>A door is like the mouth and nose of a house.  It brings the air, or Chi, into the house.  The door size should always match the size of the house. If the house is big then the door should be big, and vice versa.  <p><p>If the door points to the southeast, the living room should have a lot of light, and the living room should be painted white.  <p><p>If the door points to east, the living room should not be too bright.  It should not have windows on three walls, or it will be bad for the men living in the house.<p><p>If the door points to the southwest, the living room should not be too big, and the color of the living room should be white, yellow, or light brown.<p><p>If the door points to the north, the living room should not be too big or the owner will have lawsuits and te house is easy to catch fire.<p><p>If the door points to the south, the living room should be painted in cool colors, or the owner will have financial problems.<p><p>If the door points to the northeast, the living room should have a lot of furniture. The furniture should be pretty large furniture. The color should be brown.<p><p>If the door points to northwest, the living room should be in a rectangular shape.  It should be very wide, but not very deep. The color should be green or you should put a lot of green plants in the room.<p><p>If the door points to the west, the living room color should be in yellow.<p><p>Ceiling height<p><p>The ceiling should be high.  Low ceilings will affect the homeowner's emotions. Low ceilings cause depression and low efficiency in work.<p><p>Aisle Position<p><p>The aisle or hallway should never be in the middle of the house and cut the house into half. This kind of house has the worst Feng Shui.<p><p>The shape of a house<p><p>The middle of the northern and southern points of the house should not be further in than the other walls in the house.  Otherwise, the owner will be sick and will be plagued with lawsuits. If the middle of the east and west sides of the house are further in than the rest of the wall, then the owner's career will have problems.<p><p>The position of kitchen and restroom<p><p>When you walk into a house, you should always see the living room first.  If you can see the kitchen or restroom, do not buy the house.  The owner will have very bad luck living in a house like this.<p><p><p><p><p><p><table width=100% cellpadding=8 cellspacing=0 border=0 bgcolor=#dddddd><p><tr><td><p><p><b>About The Author</b><br><p><p><p>Henry Zhang<p><p>I have been studying Feng Shui and Chinese Yi Jing for over 10 years.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>Organic Home Furniture Goes Mainstream</b><br><p>&nbsp;by: <b>Chris Robertson</b><p><p><p><p>Organic foods have been around for decades, and those concerned about the pesticides and chemicals used in industrial farming have long turned to organics to ensure that the foods they eat are healthy and pure. Increasingly, though, people who don't consider themselves to be naturalists or environmentalists are embracing eco-friendly foods and home furnishings.<p><p>Whether out of a concern for the diminishing rain forests or for the chemicals found in the carpet that their baby crawls on, there is a growing market for eco-friendly furniture and home furnishings. From organic mattresses made from cotton and wool to wood furniture made from reclaimed wood, there is a myriad of eco-friendly home furniture from which to choose. <p><p>Typically, manufacturers of eco-friendly wood furniture and decorative wood home furnishings use reclaimed timber. In other words, the wood that is used to make furniture was logged long ago and was once a bridge or other structure. By using reclaimed wood, furniture makers recycle timber that has already been logged instead of cutting down trees. Similarly, makers of eco-friendly bed linens use cotton grown on small organic farms or wool harvested organically raised sheep. <p><p>The variety of available eco-friendly wood furniture and other wood home furnishings is astounding. Many of the pieces have artisan craftsmanship, and can be proudly displayed alongside antique furniture. Wood furniture inspired by the Viking and Celtic peoples is very popular. A CD cabinet, for example, might feature Celtic scroll carving embellishments or knobs engraved with a Celtic knot pattern. Likewise, a Celtic desk might include a lattice footrest or brass handles, and be made from antique elm wood. <p><p>The popularity of Viking motifs is gaining, especially in decorative pieces. For example, a shield featuring Viking sea dragons inspired by historic carvings found in Sweden dating from between the ninth and twelfth centuries adds a touch of history and mystery to a living room's d?cor. <p><p>Reclaimed wood is also used to make Egyptian-inspired wood furniture and decorative pieces. An Egyptian jewelry box, for example, might feature miniature hand-paintings and carved hieroglyphs, while Egyptian candlesticks might feature carvings that replicate those found on King Tutankhamen's ceremonial chair. <p><p>From rugs to linens, from carpeting to wood furniture, eco-friendly home furnishings conserve the Earth's resources while providing consumers with items rich in beauty and historical significance. Whether one's tastes runs to antiques, to the Viking or Celtic eras, or to the mysteries of ancient Egyptian tombs, there are certainly organic options for home decorating. <p><p><p><p><p><table width=100% cellpadding=8 cellspacing=0 border=0 bgcolor=#dddddd><p><tr><td><p><p><b>About The Author</b><br><p><p><p>Chris Robertson is a published author of Majon International.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b> Budget in mind for a redesign: How to redesign a bedroom online while staying on budget</b><br><p>&nbsp;by: <b>Melissa Booraem</b><p><p><p><p>Sitting in front of the television envying people getting their homes made over may be a great way to pass the time, but in reality only a few lucky fans are actually chosen to a have a room redone by their neighbor on Trading Spaces, their home completely remodeled by the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition team or a quick room redesigned as a surprise on the Oprah Winfrey show.<p><p>So, what do the rest of us do when we want to remodel our bedrooms? We could hop in the car and drive to local stores to view paint colors, furniture and bedding accessories, but these days all that effort is unnecessary. <p><p>The Bedroom Furniture Source, an online company, is revolutionizing the way people are thinking about their bedrooms by offering the average person the chance to get a custom designed bedroom while staying on a budget. <p><p>The designers will actually talk with people by phone or participants can elect to take an online questionnaire to help people achieve the designer bedroom of their dreams. The designers at The Bedroom Furniture Source can provide their customers a new bedroom complete with bedding accessories and even suggested paint and flooring ideas.<p><p>?People can come to our Bedroom Design Center with a budget and the style they are looking for, and we will help them redo their bedroom space with new furniture, comforters, pillows, sheets and curtains,? says Chuck Rosselle, president of The Bedroom Furniture Source. ?We will even suggest paint colors to go with the room.?<p><p>And the possibilities are endless; people can choose the type of room they want from modern, contemporary or traditional styles. The folks at The Bedroom Furniture Source have created everything from ultimate romantic spaces to fun rooms for children with lofted beds, according to designers that work at the company.<p><p>One of the main goals of the company is to make sure people are happy with both the quality and the price. ?All of our products are available on Froogle for comparison shopping, and we offer free shipping to our customers that spend $750 or more. All they have to do is paint the walls and assemble the room,? Rosselle says.<p><p>Not only does The Bedroom Furniture Source offer remodeling help, they also offers tips, articles and suggestions about redesigning rooms in your home.<p><p>The Bedroom Furniture Source offers the following tips when working with an online designer:<p><p>?	Be sure to give the designer a good understanding of both the kinds of styles that you like as well as the styles you do not like.<p><p>?	Make sure your budget is realistic. For example if your budget is $200, don?t expect to get a $1,000 bedroom complete with 600-thread count sheets. <p><p>?	Send the designer a photo of the space you want to redesign. It will give the designer a better idea of the space you are redoing as well as an understanding of your style.<p><p>?	Make sure the designer is aware of how open you are to new ideas. If you already have a clear idea of what you want, make sure you share that with the designer. <p><p>?	Don?t be afraid to ask the designer about different ideas he or she may have. It may give you a better understanding of what you want to do with the space.<p><p>?What we offer is a do-it-yourself project made simple,? Rosselle says. ?We give people the tools they need to get the look they are after without spending a fortune.?<p><p>Cheryl Ferrara, a new customer to The Bedroom Furniture Source, says, ?I was trying to find a comforter with a high thread count when I came across The Bedroom Furniture Source online. I was a little hesitant about making a purchase online, but I am glad I ordered from them.? <p><p>?I ended up with a high quality product at the best price around. I plan to order new comforters for my sisters for Christmas,? Ferrara adds.<p><p>To start a makeover on a bedroom in your home or to find more tips on bedroom design, visit <a href="http://www.bedroomfurnituresource.com" target=new>www.bedroomfurnituresource.com</a>. <p><p><p><p><p><table width=100% cellpadding=8 cellspacing=0 border=0 bgcolor=#dddddd><p><tr><td><p><p><b>About The Author</b><br><p><p><p>Melissa Booraem<p><p>This article may be used as free content for web sites, e-mail newsletters, e-zines and blogs.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<b>Add to Your Home's Living and Entertaining Space Without Costly Construction and Renovation</b><br><p>&nbsp;by: <b>Jayson Gerth</b><p><p><p><p>With more and more homeowners trying to maximize their home?s living space, it is no wonder home construction and renovation companies are recording record profits. But by assessing what you have and with a little creativity, new living and entertaining spaces can be had without spending thousands of dollars.<p><p>Late winter and early spring are great times to assess how space is used in your home. Often, decks and patios go unused or underused. Places you wouldn?t normally think of for use in entertaining ? flat, shady spots in the yard, for example ? may also lie empty. Many times, there are ways you can create ?backyard retreats? in these underused areas without much trouble or cost, and truly bring the ?indoors-out.?<p><p>One such way of designing your new patio, deck, or garden living space is with a furniture grouping that matches aesthetically. Furniture that looks as if it belongs together can help bring unity to your new ?outdoor rooms.? Quality comfortable and durable furniture such as this can be found at the Iowa Adirondack Company, <a href="http://www.iowa-adirondack.com" target=new>http://www.iowa-adirondack.com</a>.<p><p>Every piece of furniture the Iowa Adirondack Company stocks is designed consistently from piece to piece, whether it is treated and stained or natural cedar. Adirondack chairs and loveseats, tables, swings, and chaise lounges from Iowa Adirondack match one another, are engineered for supreme comfort, and are made from the finest materials to last a lifetime.<p><p>As you take time to assess your increasing need for living and entertaining space during the upcoming warm months, consider outdoor living with furniture from the Iowa Adirondack Company as a wonderful, cost-effective alternative.<p><p><p><p><p><table width=100% cellpadding=8 cellspacing=0 border=0 bgcolor=#dddddd><p><tr><td><p><p><b>About The Author</b><br><p><p><p>Jayson Gerth<p><p>An Iowa wood craftsman who desired to bring quality wood outdoor furniture to the mass market founded the Iowa Adirondack Company in 2005.
