How to Make an Illuminated Pumpkin Topiary : Halloween 2012 Ideas

We turned three plain pumpkins into a glowing centerpiece to light up a front porch, Halloween party or Thanksgiving table. <br /><br /><span class="by-line"><i><span style="color: orange;"><b>By : Joanne Palmisano</b></span></i></span><br /><span class="by-line"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1d4MiAJX35QFS026QX5Ul4o-IC-N3yyMtZmbX55WXmmLm9VXqg0gMUs9zRPVlK8l8evLd1kwlruTFnOVwGbYmiQm3sGaqir9tocZ3cm9B1wZK7Ck3MBZpms5sdGixC96jkgQvHXmjEiRc/s400/Ways+to+Make+a+Pumpkin+Topiary++Halloween+2012+Ideas+from+HGTV.jpg" width="300" /></div><br /><div class="section">To make this festive centerpiece, we drilled holes in the pumpkins, painted them silver then added some holiday lights and a few crystals.</div><div class="section"><h2><span style="color: orange;">Tools and Materials</span></h2>serrated knife<br />drill with large bit (optional)<br />scissors<br />extension cord<br />3 carving pumpkins (we used faux pumpkins by Funkin)<br />holiday lights with 25 to 50 clear bulbs<br />brilliant metal spray paint<br />3 strands of wire with crystal beads<br />dry-erase marker<br />painter's tarp<br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="section"><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Carve and Cut</span></h2><div style="text-align: center;">Carve a hole in the bottom and the top of the three pumpkins and remove the innards. On the bottom pumpkin, make the hole a little to the side so the light strand's plug can get through. Do not cut hole near the stem in the top pumpkin. The hole has to be big enough to be able to put your hand in and pull the light strands through the holes.</div></div><div class="section"><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Mark for Light Holes</span></h2><div style="text-align: center;">Use a dry-erase marker to make small circles where you want the bulbs to come out of the pumpkins.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsuGrb7_TdcCgygi21hbsMzEOxFIJC_x2cZy-F7IhdDsFzT3gb5Lto1jt6Guwmx2wbcz8L2HPKg8rmUI48ZptDuZA3-EATiB3WOEb2Z32cT-hglRXiazj5ZTLr4srUy5lgefQymDK7QL-Y/s400/How+to+Make+an+Illuminated+Pumpkin+Topiary++Halloween+2012+Ideas.jpg" width="400" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Cut Light Holes</span></h2><div style="text-align: center;">Use a serrated knife or a drill to cut out the circles. Double check the size by inserting one of the bulb sockets (take the bulb out to test it). Make the hole bigger until the socket can fit through, but not too big — you don't want the bulb to slide out.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFvjqzIty_EJLlLODtNPHDQaTfiMOZPOtK6ZUXVuhTDCFbaOwfN7VDNhqOCFRHAl9ju3OBh9cuaHallWNv0ClG3UfqjA_Refedkw7hZnUWRvJCXAaVzXTOygZkoxjDUFeBVcORYKUYGWzE/s400/How+to+Make+an+Illuminated+Pumpkin+Topiary++Halloween+2012+Ideas-2.jpg" width="400" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Paint</span></h2><div style="text-align: center;">Place the pumpkins on a tarp and spray-paint them with the brilliant metal paint.

This will make it easier to thread the strand through the pumpkins.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7eZmgpmLnjSCUbocYStHRgAJNwe5ogbkCFyqxtXsTzGoBYs-i_0xcK2V7d5qrhcUM2mCCFxCJEfW89M3sFoQNQU1LtkIb1Svz8tpUu7DH94b0PebCVdeu7LtyK2D2nJqSxRkJAMMwZSKi/s400/How+to+Make+an+Illuminated+Pumpkin+Topiary++Halloween+2012+Ideas-4.jpg" width="400" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Thread the Lights</span></h2><div style="text-align: center;">Starting with the bottom pumpkin, pull the sockets through the holes and then screw on the bulb to keep it in place. Make sure you leave enough of the strand to come out of the bottom of the pumpkin and plug into an extension cord or outlet. Work your way up the pumpkin and then come out the top and move into the next pumpkin. Leave some wiggle room in between.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKhjPoIGrxy4M4srPZzrIWVEOegENlB5BZRsf2MA39KHYtMRDsJT_UP2qrnLiGns9BBlhWxexDSx_Obtk1mZ2GzdEQ3XIyHIv6KEV0n4I6lHA0Wl5GTDoa6YY8ih0Squn48kZhgfenRQg2/s400/How+to+Make+an+Illuminated+Pumpkin+Topiary++Halloween+2012+Ideas-5.jpg" width="400" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Add Extra Sparkle</span></h2><div style="text-align: center;">Wrap the pumpkins with crystal strands (cut to size if necessary) around the bottom, middle and top to give the topiary a little extra glamour.</div><br /><br /><br /></div></div>

luxury living rooms Decorating Ideas 2012 by Candice Olson

Designer Candice Olson mixes comfy furnishings with elegant textiles and color schemes to create family rooms that define the meaning of lived-in luxury.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuvFy79TfJRGQDP5JZ7u0dX13dyoWvAqVKnzCTfgYdDMyVAKbRxz-IGmkXrQrE3Z_1pw8ZB7DUzDSsL1Ww1Ccx2A1O-AhwndTjmdoToUDLBj5U3iJMeGkGvLpxlY_qzB37lR4a_qUu/s640/Living-Rooms-decorating-ideas-2012-by-Candice-Olson-12.jpg" width="480" /></div><h2 style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Contemporary yet Rustic</span></h2><div style="display: block; zoom: 1;">Rustic elements are combined with streamlined contemporary furnishings to create a couple-friendly living room. The tumbled marble fireplace contrasts well with the dark, luxurious wooden hearth and cabinets. For optimal fireplace and TV viewing, a large sectional sofa in creamy chenille and an ottoman in espresso brown are centered in the room.</div><div style="display: block;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRSita3Wb5GgIZS4CQsRf1o1dKIIHpQAwEas690JeqPN0LOJixr44RCRzQHLT9xxDDOX3-7ZdpUAg1VrD3Pa1OsV57NFgdLpjRVeEQehZrx_AReccOs81c5trx53yQRjS-l9501L1W/s640/Living-Rooms-decorating-ideas-2012-by-Candice-Olson-10.jpg" width="480" /></div><h2 style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Effortless Style</span></h2><div style="display: block; zoom: 1;">To brighten up this attic living space, Candice installs light-toned wood floors, brings in a cream sectional and adds track lighting. A color palette of greens, blues and tans complement the lighter tones, while paisley fabric and wall decals add a feminine, bohemian quality to the space. A reclaimed wood ceiling with faux beams adds architectural interest.</div><div style="display: block;"><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixUm1QuIIIeMgB-bnPZYiF_GVyJrS1uP5n9f0dzTKdfezsVPu3iB7GhVeybDFIKrvv0KzBHNHtde4O7V-fniKPUpd2HhSkRWspcXiZL1OvLYJ5awX5x_PpZs2_IJ3OabZv9yVbG4aP/s640/Living-Rooms-decorating-ideas-2012-by-Candice-Olson-11.jpg" width="480" /></div><h2 style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Eclectic Mix</span></h2><div style="display: block; zoom: 1;">Modernize a living room with a combination of different design styles. Sleek chairs in a classic paisley print are mixed with a traditional tufted ottoman in butterscotch leather and a contemporary sectional in taupe velvet. Rustic meets elegant in a two-layer treatment of woven blinds and silk draperies on the bay windows.</div><div style="display: block;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivw1bTPXEM_tp65nOvpjh8JTOWYmv7nvTW6x-f2xAxCrjjjHvyw2huJi5bbxMHqPFkAyha1CcPgWuVAoTHEVxXMryXfBq0zaiQGqK8W2Uevc2Ums6v8ZUaitkcbZIWEajKyGs2KuTq/s640/Living-Rooms-decorating-ideas-2012-by-Candice-Olson-9.jpg" width="480" /></div><h2 style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Multi-Functional Living</span></h2><div style="display: block; zoom: 1;">To create a more functional space, divide a room into different zones. The bay window is the perfect setting for a home office and features custom built-in shelving, while the area next to the back window is the library lounge, an ideal spot for conversations and reading. The main area of the room is used for TV watching and hanging out. Tie the entire space together by using the same color palette, like the combination of chocolate, caramel and oatmeal in this living room.</div><div style="display: block;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2a36DC_Pnm7e_kLoUFfmRcjqaDkWpeytzIBas3ZRATVr7e8n7IEmD7EZ5_nZzZV7MFS5mgda9Z7yetCAXfQFp9-hF9beMpZuPy4aU82K86kCw-OH-PQsYAsd802P2wAX99UCVmM_Z/s640/Living-Rooms-decorating-ideas-2012-by-Candice-Olson-8.jpg" width="480" /></div><h2 style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Romantic and Feminine</span></h2><div style="display: block; zoom: 1;">Dark wood paneling is painted antique white to brighten up this living room, which features a color palette of pink, green, cream and chocolate. To mimic the fabric used on the chairs, whimsical vinyl graphics of an agapanthus flower are transferred onto the ceiling, giving it the quality of a hand-painted piece of art.</div><div style="display: block;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1i7DIn1O7XrGpw9p49PKf5rf-zBlvuad1jb_NpFTgLb8l3v3T7WY6q82kMquaaFa92w_batbTmY2nf1v3iLot0RVGsaCe_2fYbcgudtgPqfB1Ua1j703Fm2TzFNhn0XVK807dN93o/s640/Living-Rooms-decorating-ideas-2012-by-Candice-Olson-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><h2 style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Cottage Casual</span></h2><div style="display: block; zoom: 1;">Custom cabinetry plays a key role in this living room, providing plenty of storage and a place to display collectibles. The fireplace flows seamlessly into the cabinetry and features a sandy-tone mosaic tile surround. To give the room a more intimate feel, a fan is hung 36 inches below the ceiling, while a color palette of white, sand, pale blue and green keeps the space light and airy.</div><div style="display: block;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji0Z_-sPIwRbFdqtWFEBouEBZClOoNj4wHxwdIsENQHkiAJ56zV5xbCVE8V5uhdmrqEe5gmPu6w2VvuIUfrJbAc8TEyL1oZOcJpiNbLWCuDlxiWgSQiM70aeXnLMVIxT_ME2vsqGA-/s640/Living-Rooms-decorating-ideas-2012-by-Candice-Olson-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><h2 style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Gender Neutral</span></h2><div style="display: block; zoom: 1;">For most family rooms, creating a space that appeals to both genders is a must, so Candice chose a mostly neutral palette of deep browns, cool creams and inky charcoals for this living room. The corner is turned into an office with an antique desk flanked by mirror-backed bookcases, and the living room is ideal for relaxing with a large sectional and leather club chairs.</div><div style="display: block;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggW_r7PP1unTy6WCDHaQknw6Yq8so-WsYPIKsjlDLUbTRXxa9SvwSfZps_Pqj7g6DIuyhFFTwK0X65VRFGejBpMA85w7WL2xp3Wh7mA1Gn4q1U86MmGffku66hzcdeEcuzy6W_KHQv/s640/Living-Rooms-decorating-ideas-2012-by-Candice-Olson-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><h2 style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Muted Sophistication</span></h2><div style="display: block; zoom: 1;">Finding the right place for a TV is often problematic; however, in this living room, the 46-inch TV takes center stage since it doubles as a mirror when not in use. Carpet tiles in shades of calming blue, green, taupe and beige reflect the fabric used to cover the bench seat and pillows on the sofa. Stainless steel accents add a contemporary flair to the room. </div><div style="display: block;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhquUOGc1nNQk4a2hCKrBoq5gpwYPf-kjzOqw8vfdFohk94An_ZoaabuNOseHNqgwV67ZqHRMFKLn_1fKWEugjCcEdJdyynpuZmeko2w-p6DC35BeGpDsVj5FS8i-ik4OUxvrKEtLc/s640/Living-Rooms-decorating-ideas-2012-by-Candice-Olson-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><h2 style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Comfy Elegance</span></h2><div style="display: block; zoom: 1;">A metallic floral-patterned wallpaper provides a luxe backdrop to the cozy living room, which features a silvery linen sectional and a classic writer's desk. Soft, gauzy sheers trimmed in gold satin separate the living and dining rooms, as well as diffuse natural light from the large windows at the end of the rooms.</div><div style="display: block;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9iRztEh6qAB9C5c7nlRL1GAYaqLA3taAZqDzC1k476E0kNQ4wBZZI0oAQSrzmSewnkyNM1XRuFbzaastBKb7Uikdlbg5USbf4suTB1h_KRV5x83aOs-z7stJnkDH6xDLjfbi5gKJX/s640/Living-Rooms-decorating-ideas-2012-by-Candice-Olson-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><h2 style="color: orange; font-weight: normal; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Bold and Colorful </b></span></h2><div style="display: block; zoom: 1;">Two feature walls, one a brilliant fuchsia and the other covered in teal-and-gold paisley wallpaper, create an instant wow factor is this open plan living room. Low-slung furniture in white and peacock blue create a cool, lounge-like vibe, while natural-stained maple flooring and updated shag carpet ground the space.</div><div style="display: block;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFnM_QpBDgw8pd8z7TOFNOMF6XvDc53UpV9cNSAXyFMlUP6WUkSMF12NJ_qt1ApQYadZvWmGZrYXnvdoTXRaZg-xI60xEMlet75VruaaI-OmE6YkRxw_Xh-UX9qFiku2OfKWUK1x2e/s640/Living-Rooms-decorating-ideas-2012-by-Candice-Olson-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><h2 style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Urban Functionality</span></h2><div style="display: block; zoom: 1;">In this urban loft, a color palette of gray, black and white is paired with shimmery steel and rich wood accents for a cool, contemporary vibe. Modern furnishings, smart track lightings and a dramatic ceiling fan combine for a stylish and functional living space.</div><div style="display: block;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDOH0i67nAValZKbvqY86mOwOaL-HGuDUByaCi02TC3Xn2TAeWQvPIdu2NbMWSVjEnPLilcSq_UclcQy-gqFGtLhfYTN7c1I-RIQZMzYB9GckEZvkrieYy7tm8Nm6wZAOwfwioagig/s640/Living-Rooms-decorating-ideas-2012-by-Candice-Olson.jpg" width="480" /></div><h2 style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Rustic Chic</span></h2><div style="display: block; zoom: 1;">Hand-scraped oak flooring is the perfect contrast to the impressive limestone fireplace, and a wall of cabinetry with custom bookcases and stainless steel dressers provides plenty of storage for the TV and media components. Distressed leather furniture with tufted detail adds vintage elegance to the room with blue linen draperies creating a beautiful backdrop to the space.</div>

2012 Ideas for Beautiful Living Room Makeover

Boring, boxy rooms with zero personality: Raise your hand if you've got one. Better Homes and Gardens decorating editor Amy Panos did. Take a peek at how she and BHG remodeling coach Meredith Ladik turned a 1970s suburban room into something special.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuXfUhTWjJrotUw_LRe4TJREgYVFi2PDHbkc1SagazzsnwR5N7LeyR0RRoie1ZCJ3bIJMCu1edXwR-MRX0BepH_dYi2_pfAEdSXcxNOgIlDdldrkKzMVoLSvvIwin8_osJ4HPVeITE/s640/Beautiful-Living-Room-Makeover-2012-ideas-7.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Creating a Peaceful Space</span> </b></span></div><br />To dress up the space and create unity between the dining room and living room, Amy and Meredith chose to add instant character with classic-looking wainscot. Amy chose to wrap the room in urethane trim because, compared to wood, it comes in more styles, is lighter in weight, and is easier to install.<b> </b><br /><br /><b>Editor's Tip:</b> It's perfectly OK to place furniture in the middle of a room. Just keep the visual footprint light (a pair of chairs works better than a sofa) and pick pieces that look good from all sides.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQkM1qISK1-tLXq4WgQf_AKClJ_lMeaP9P1pWx-9SbXXTrVL8eJKFI8_UwWq1gB-FbQnvIXeKLRZe_1KtU8ehv6FRmtu0JNoxSWLrOKwUggpsAPVegNvB8PzGHqxpFz5GCEkTzn3cB/s640/Beautiful-Living-Room-Makeover-2012-ideas-6.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Window Wise</span></b></span></div><br />Vinyl replacement windows with Energy Star-rated glass are more efficient than the 1970s originals, and the trim never has to be painted. Plus they can be ordered to the size of the existing opening, which saves on installation costs.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ12ifc6DByX1uVdeGAeXbs1upnKQtXrtw4ngFkJB2e8nfEVUuOWkq9whBhT6MdbdR4iahqdsU7w7JrnxBm3LdvKFYk0ZdByx7PVtfFlV8is5D9dyUuWh7RHU3-NLGLKh6ZiSfuYwJ/s640/Beautiful-Living-Room-Makeover-2012-ideas-5.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">On the Ledge</span> </b></span></div><br />Three styles of molding were stacked to create a chunky ledge atop the wainscot. The result: a built-in spot for displaying art at eye level.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHV7oxNI03NIGVQZA261_e5CxT_BG3M5PLfCCTVknB9mXb0MX2MEtTmvXVSyC8aZqfNbIZCS3SH3RbDt0aASRVe_j53qfw61KV4N5PyE0z0Qs64By-44757eTKuysDg__erDt1jZCv/s640/Beautiful-Living-Room-Makeover-2012-ideas-4.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Desk Space</span> </b></span></div><br />Amy took the corner of the room and created a little office that is perfect for paying bills.<b> </b><br /><b>Editor's Tip:</b> Picking paint colors is a challenge, but landing on the right blue proved extra tricky. If you want a gray-blue, like Amy did, you have to go much grayer than you ever imagined. We must have tried a dozen different shades. Thank goodness for $4 sample paint pots.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSdv6kV5x-bam1IGw6POO2rhyphenhyphenRy_NOJahTUtgdhAX7Dfl-nkqKug13wG0q0MmjNBu4tEAcve8cgpIawxzDOcTgrq_tuDUpLuqx03RBGI8HL07-1qqV8pWu0L0qymZbwffFrWkNaJD1/s640/Beautiful-Living-Room-Makeover-2012-ideas-3.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Pretty Dining</span></b></span></div><br />To connect the dining and living room, Amy continued the color scheme and wainscot around the room. Adding more storage in the dining room was a must. Replacing a pair of rickety bookcases with glass-front cabinets gives the dining room structure and storage capacity. The cabinets are semi-custom, meaning you can choose the door style, finish, size, and extra trim for the top and bottom to give them a built-in look.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwqPw6ZRgqbK3JoY1YCDoxx3_q3zPGanGwyQoIQy5bt1JMTQQfvX7hpIKbB1YUrdFJWVRscuSzroxijQ2zUkWeOW4UxH05MX3fptxA7Vfw6FjmE3LLyOaJljmTRxYIYunT6n1jIihs/s640/Beautiful-Living-Room-Makeover-2012-ideas-2.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Handy Hostess Station</span> </b></span></div><br />Pairing 12-inch-deep upper cabinets with deeper lower cabinets allowed the units to tuck neatly under the existing soffit while still offering plenty of storage. It also left space for a small countertop -- handy for setting dishes or food to serve.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7XvJp1dfCF_wi4-_uWYKR0EOc39Wlxyrc_9XEEoetakP9dvAXebFd97ViUz6tIn5XNcJlHPZeGM6cWP8oZqO2LVzmeDx7_ZTwJRigAtLiFA4kx8SmfUEZ5eX7S8k59l-G_V6AWD_p/s640/Beautiful-Living-Room-Makeover-2012-ideas.jpg" width="480" /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="color: orange; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><span class="heading2">Hidden Storage</span> </b></span></div><br />Tucked below the window seat, large drawers are the perfect place to hide extra china and crystal but keep them handy if needed.
