Shabby Chic Decorating Made Easy
What is shabby chic decorating? In a nutshell, it is a comfortable, casual decorating style. It became known as shabby chic in the 1980's but has been around for many years. How can you get the shabby chic look in your home? Begin by mixing the old with the new in accessories and furniture. For example, use vintage accessories with new accessories that look old. Old pieces of jewelry look fabulous displayed in a new, unique jewelry box. A new piece of furniture can look like a vintage piece by antiquing the surface or by lightly roughing up the edges with sandpaper to get that old, worn look. Sounds scary but gives the look of a classic piece of furniture and fits in well with the shabby chic...

Those days are thankfully long gone, and even if you drive a vintage vehicle, you don't need to settle for vintage accessories. You can outfit any vehicle to meet your particular wants and needs. But heed the warnings below. The modern automobile is light years away from a simple means of getting from A to B.

Creating a Retro Kitchen Design
Love that retro kitchen look, but don't know where to begin? Creating your own retro kitchen theme is easier than you think, and even in today's economic climate, it can be accomplished without spending a lot of money. There's nothing that adds instant charm and appeal to a modern-day kitchen like decorating with vintage accessories from the colorful post-war 40's or the mod 50's. In fact, deciding on your color scheme is perhaps the most challenging part of the project.

How to grow rich on very little money
I've heard many people tell me that it is impossible for them to save money because they do not have any money to save after paying the cost of living. While this may seem true to most (or may even be true for some of us), the point is this: most people can save money. Here are a few examples where it is possible to save on an extremely limited income and possibly...over time grow quite rich 1 Think for example of a family of two who have a limited income but somehow manage each week to treat themselves to soda, cupcakes and chips each week.

If you have never heard of the guayabera, it most likely you have probably seen one and didn’t know what it was. The reason, because they are everywhere and on every type of person, young hipters to businessmen. The ornate, four-pocket shirts are the standard outfit for business, social and formal occasions through-out tropical America, but no one is quite sure where the guayabera (gwai-a-BER-a) comes from. Some claim a Mexican origin, saying that the name is derived from the Mayan guayabana, meaning "throw over." Some say they came out in Cuba first, more than 200 years ago, and later spread through the Caribbean and on to the Philippines. And the name? Cuban slang for a guava (guayaba) picker...
Does it seem like the phrases "ecology" and "wedding" could hardly have less in common? With the average wedding costing well over 15 thousand today, one would think so. And yet, the "green" or ecologically-friendly wedding is gaining momentum across the nation. Lower impact and a smaller environmental footprint doesn't mean austere. The green wedding can be hauntingly romantic, with its outdoor setting, its focus on living plants, and its more casual gown (often made of hemp) that brings to mind fairies from ages past. Even the ecology bride herself forms a contrast with more conventional weddings. Even on her big day, her fresh face couldn't be farther from the heavily made-up cover girls of...
Types of T-Shirts - How to Know What You Are...

A Look at Vintage Hawaiian Shirts
Hawaiian shirts are anything but new. They first got their start in the 1930s when clothing manufacturers decided to produce a cloth and design unique to Hawaii. The original popular shirts were printed on heavy silk and became popular as Hollywood stars wore them in both films and to events, such as movie premiers. Not everyone could afford heavy silk, however, and many high-quality shirts were printed in rayon and cotton as well. Because these shirts have been printed for over 70 years, there remains a large quantity of vintage Hawaiian shirts on the market. Vintage Hawaiian shirts can be more expensive than modern-day styles, but they also can have a flair and quality not found today. Despite the...
