Office Art Wall and Other Ideas to Cheer Up Clinics

Most people dread going to clinics. Clinics are for the sick and the injured, and people, especially children, do not like the feeling of dread upon entering such facility.

Another factor why people do not want to go to clinics is because most of these offices lack a personal touch. The next time you go to a clinic, check out the walls and decors while waiting for your doctor to attend to you. You will notice that most have posters on walls dealing with cancer prevention, breastfeeding, reminders for checkups, warnings and details on certain diseases and vices, tips on how to live a healthy life, and others. These posters remind us of our frailty and vulnerability. Yes, we all agree that they are there for a good reason, but they give us a feeling of negativity and fear.

Just imagine, you are there to seek for help in getting treatment, worried about the illness you are afflicted with. Then you are bombarded with posters regarding illnesses! How would you feel?

Indeed, the clinic, or doctor's office, can be a stressful, frightening place. We need something positive to make us feel good in this dreadful office. Wall art, for example, that is placed in these offices will surely help.

Positive decorations like artwork can calm down a patient and reduces his apprehension. Instead of being bombarded with messages of dread, why not instill a positive aura? Remember that patients are there because they know that they are sick; doctors don't need to rub that fact in.

If you are a doctor and own a clinic, here are some ideas on how to make your clinic a more cheerful place.

1. Put up a sound system and pipe in soothing music. Good music always calms the heart and relaxes the soul. There are lots of instrumental, inspirational, and soft music available in CD stores. Or you can download an mp3 file from the Internet. Remember though that blaring music can cause more stress and can be annoying. Lower down the volume.

2. Repaint the entire office with a light color. A lighter color is easier to the eyes. Whites and yellows are okay, but pastels are also good choices.

3. Lighting plays an important part of calming a patient. Natural light coming through large windows is best, but this can be harsh during noontime, necessitating the use of blinds. Avoid harsh fluorescent lighting; use soft pin lights and spotlights instead.

4. Add delightful flowers and plants. They can surely add life to a dreary place.

5. You can replace medical posters with office art wall. You can also use art that depicts peaceful meadow-paradise scenes. Abstract or contemporary art is also a good choice. Abstract art, composed of patters which does not represent anything, will keep patients busy trying to interpret the painting. Choose something with soft, light colors.

6. If you do photography as a hobby, print and enlarge pictures. Frame them and hang them on walls. You can take pictures of something pleasant-flowers, scenery, a cute kitten or a puppy, a mother and a child.

Hey guys, What do I get an Icon for his birthday???

I know that sounds like a silly question but I'm honestly lost! I have been lucky enough to get to hang out with one of my heroes- not saying who- I don't kiss and tell. His birthday's coming up and I have NO CLUE what to get him. He has been so sweet and supportive of me, a good friend. I want to do something nice, but not overboard I don't want to look like a ridiculous smitten kitten.. lol. Any ideas boys? He already has everything a dude could want including a bad ass new house, modern decor in LA.... HELP!!!!????

Hello Fiya,

Well first of all you have to look at your relationship and see where it is going. Has he ever bought you a gift? If he hasn't, then buy him nothing more than a birthday card expressing wishes for a happy birthday - no mush.

If he has bought you a gift, you must buy him nothing of greater value. If you have had a birthday already, give him nothing more than what he has given you.

In short, always let him make the first move and show you the greater interest. If he already has everything he needs, then he should be the one spoiling you. Anything else will surely make him move on.

Sincerely,

Ms. Miche ; })

My Kitty's Say... Happy Halloween!

Modern Antique Bathroom Vanities - If It's Modern, How Can It Be Antique?

In the realm of bathroom vanities, there exists what are commonly referred to as antique bathroom vanities. In most cases (and removing ourselves completely from the vintage swap meets and antique shops) these "antique" vanities are not necessarily antique in age, but rather antique in design. Modern antique bathroom vanities, when crafted well, possess the common lines, shapes, and accents of old-world craftsmanship. Victorian-age designs are commonly seen in antique bathroom vanities made today. Their solid wood construction and heavily carved facades bring you back to a time when woodcarving was a master craft and elegantly etched leaves, vines, and accents were what the public loved.

The Benefits of Modern Antique Bathroom Vanities

Although modern antique-fashioned vanities may not have the true age to go along with their classification, antique bathroom vanities of today bring with them heightened function and durability. Bathroom vanity design (as well as internal plumbing) has come along way since the old days of kings and queens. Today, antique vanities come complete with flawless sink and faucet integration and in many cases excel in function when compared to modern run-of-the-mill bathroom vanities. Modern antique bathroom vanities also offer the opportunity to reinvent your bathroom from top to bottom. Just imagine draping your bathroom in old-world beauty, incorporating rich, vivid colors, tapestries, and pictures that would be fit for a Victorian emperor (including Queen Victoria herself).

However, there are some purists who when they say they want "antique" they mean they want an "original". It is possible to get a hold of a true antique bathroom vanity, but what you may get in originality, you're lacking in functionality. True antique vanities are more of a novelty and often require complete restoration and updating to be functional within the home. That's not to say that truly original vanities from our past don't look great in bathrooms today. In fact, they can be exceptional conversation pieces and add 100% originality to your bathroom. The one difficulty with these vanities is in most cases, you'll end up paying much more to purchase and then restore a true antique bathroom vanity then it would cost you to purchase a modern bathroom vanity fashioned after antique styles and designs.

So is it Better to be "Old" or "Old-School"?

The bottom line is whether you go true antique (old) or antique-styled (old-school), the choice is completely up to you. Bathroom vanity manufacturers are producing ornate and exquisite antique-styled vanities that look much like the styles of old. Of course their true age is more modern than antique, but when you compare the option of buying old and spending to make it new, you discover that it's more practical to buy new and designed to look "antique".

If you're thinking about renovating or updating your bathroom and want antique bathroom vanity designs and styles, check out Modern Bathroom's wide selection of antique bathroom vanities. Modern Bathroom also offers the latest bathroom furnishings and fixtures at discount prices. From sinks to bathroom vanities, you'll find the bathroom furnishings you need for less at Modern Bathroom.

Where can I find antique style eyeglasses?

I want the old style, not real antiques, along with my prescription. I want eyeglasses like they wore in the mid 19th century.

Definitely look at some of the on-line eyeglasses sites, They sell modern copies of old style frames specifically for people who do reenactments of civil war battles, for theatrical uses, etc. The original ones do turn up at antique shops, flea markets etc, but I'm not sure if frames that old will fit modern lenses or not.

Wall Door

Why Will The Garage Door Not Close?

Everyone's finally dressed and ready to leave. You back the car out, hit the remote, and you're off. Until you realize the garage door hasn't gone down. You reluctantly pull back into the driveway, brow furrowing in frustration. It happens to everyone. Many homeowners don't even realize they left it open until they return home.

Why didn't it close? Garage doors usually fail to close as a result of the safety sensors being blocked. They're located on each side of the opening, no more than a foot or so off the ground. Typically, each will have a small light that stays lit when everything is going well. If either of the lights are out, simply move whatever is blocking the sensor (sometimes even cobwebs/small debris can cause safety sensors to malfunction) or adjust them so that they are pointing at each other again. You can move these around by hand if they've been knocked out of alignment.

If you're still stuck at home, make sure nothing is blocking the path of the door. This can be a common cause for service calls on garage doors. Always use caution when operating your door, but be extra cautious when it's not working correctly. It's the probably the largest, heaviest piece of machinery in the house. The counter balance system of the door is under EXTREME pressure, and when it doesn't work properly, it can be dangerous. Many people have been injured or even killed by garage doors, some of them professionals. If your garage door is sitting crooked in the opening, has come off the tracks, or is not working properly, call a professional repair company immediately.

If the door works but the opener still won't close it, there are a couple more things to try before calling a professional. Try using the wall button instead of the remote or keyless entry. It's possible the remote's batteries are dead, or the opener's lock function has been enabled. If the garage door itself is working properly, you can pull the manual release on the opener. This will let you close the door manually, although the opener won't be locking it shut the way it normally would.

Some openers have an indicator light that can help troubleshoot any problems. Again, you'll need your owner's manual for your opener. Many can be found online by doing a quick search for your make and model number. You can find the model and manufacturer on the back of the opener.

If all else fails, it may be time to call a pro. Some companies will be able to give an estimate on probable repairs over the phone, so let them know what steps you may have already taken. Call a few different companies to ensure their numbers are competitive. Since openers have an expected life span of about 10 years, it might also be a good idea to check prices for new openers, instead of repairing an older model. Newer models will have more up to date security features, as well.

Tropical Decor

Home Decorating Ideas - How to Decorate Florida Style

People who live in warm sunny climates (yes, I'm one of the lucky ones!) have an abundance of sunshine, greenscapes, flowers and warm, tropical air to enjoy every day. We also have many local home decor choices when it comes to tropical or Florida style decorating, so if we choose to bring the outdoors into our homes, it's quite simple.

So what do you do if you don't live in my area of the world and want to bring some of that tropical sunshine into your home decor? Or, you may reside in a warm climate, but want to do something more creative than palm tree pictures and place mats. Whatever the situation, you can create a beautiful tropical home decor that uniquely expresses your lifestyle.

First, determine what room or area of your home is going to be part of this decorating project, and then decide what your budget is going to be. It is critical that you address these two important points before doing anything else. If you are decorating on a budget, which most of us are, that will dictate your approach to this tropical transformation.

Tropical colors can be bold and beautiful, in shades of blue, green, coral, turquoise, purple and yellow, so if you love color, this is a great decorating style for you. Conversely, you can create a beautiful tropical decor with soft colors as well, so there is no definite 'right' and 'wrong' path for you to take when it comes to color choices. I've had success with the following color palette, and although it is different than the color schemes mentioned above it worked very well. The walls of the guest bedroom were painted a medium shade of bronze-brown, floors were bamboo wood, window treatment was a simple off-white sheer tied back with a delicate silk leaf greenery, ceiling fan with faux bamboo paddles, simple palm tree sketches with brown frames on the walls, slim silk palm tree in the corner and a taupe iron bed with bedspread in cream, green and brown with a muted palm tree pattern. The understated theme of this room did not shout 'tropical style', but the color and accessory combinations worked very well in my Florida style home.

You may decide to bring the tropical atmosphere into the room in a big way by using a bright, bold color on the walls of your room. Or, you may opt for a muted shade on your walls and use the bright colors for accents in the room. Remember that the tropics includes naturals, including trees, trees and more trees, so a beautiful, realistic looking silk (or real if your green thumb and location will allow) palm tree or something similar will always look great. Bear in mind that you really do get what you pay for with silks, so choose the best that your budget will afford.

Accessorize thoughtfully and creatively, trying to avoid the types of commercial and over-used pieces that you probably see elsewhere. Look for a unique lamp that has a tropical feel. Remember as you shop to look online, for there are many great sources for tropical themed rugs. Choose carefully because one unique area or entry rug could potentially become the focal point of your tropical theme. Or, you might find artwork with a standard tropical theme, but the framing or artistry makes it stand out as unique and unduplicated.

Window treatments can include plantation shutters, wood blinds, lightweight fabrics and fun print valances, depending upon your style preferences. Avoid heavy, dark draping styles, as they are contrary to a tropical decor.

The same thought is applicable to the overall feel and look of the room. The upholstered furniture does not have to be wicker and white, but it should have a light overall 'feel' and appearance. For example, if you are striving for a tropical look to your room's decor, a navy blue and hunter green plaid sofa will probably not create the feel you are seeking. A sea foam green sofa with a combination of cream and coral accent pillows will take you in the tropical, or Florida style, direction.

Determine your tropical color scheme and how you will apply it to your room, shop for unique and notabl (not necessarily expensive!) pieces, include natural textures, refrain from over-accessorizing, and you will be on your way to creating a beautiful Florida style decor, no matter where you live.

Ball python's cage decor?

I know royals have savanna in the wild, but would it be okay to decorate the cage with tropical plants instead? It just looks so bare right now.

Honestly, snakes won't care if you put some tropical stuff in there or not. They'll be happy as long as they have lots of hiding places (on the cool AND hot side) and are being fed well. :]

You can get any kind of plants you want, as long as they're fake! Real plants could carry parasites and mites and whatnot... Best to go with fake.
