Brim Toilet Brush

barbara

I find it rather therapeutic to scrub my toilet bowls.  There are 3 toilet bowls in my house and when I need to de-stress, I would clean the bowls.  Hey, that doesn’t mean that my toilets are not cleaned when I am happy.  If you simply dislike scrubbing on your hands and knees, then you may want to check out this Brim Toilet Brush.  It is engineered to clean thoroughly with its flexible head contours.  The flexible rubber head with bristles can easily flex up and under the rim to clean the bowl.   Available at Quirky.com.

How To Promote Relaxation At Home

I have just returned from a beach vacation with my family. We had a great holiday and stayed in a fabulous quaint boutique hotel which is facing the ocean. The hotel has minimalist design and the first thing I noticed when I stepped into the lobby is a beautiful indoor water fountain. It has a very calming effect.  If you are interested to find water fountains to create a calm environment at home, then you may want to check out some indoor fountains like the one below.

For The Kids’ Room

I have been on the lookout for ideas on how to decorate a children’s bedroom for my niece.  Her mum, my sister is planning to move my 3-year old niece into her own bedroom and she has asked me for some ideas on how to make the room pretty and comfortable.  So while the spouse was busy checking out rod ends for his garage project, I was surfing the internet and came across this cute fun folk-art clothesline for the wall from FamilyFun.go.com.  All you need is to sketch the image onto the wall and then paint over it.  Then screw the knobs into place for the little one to hang his/her clothes.  Pretty neat eh?   I am sure my little niece would love it.

Banners For Children’s Room

barbara

 I am so into banners or buntings right now.  They are so beautiful and add a nice touch to a room.  When I saw these banners and hanging decor for the children’s room at Land of Nod, I was ecstatic.  Oh be still my beating heart .  I just adore these cute decors.  They are also great for parties if you do not want to hang them in the bedroom.  I am trying to choose one for my daughter’s room.

Collapsible Storage Bins To Keep Things Organized

barbara

My sister was just telling me that her home is filled with more things now because my nephew has taken up guitar lessons. Besides a guitar, there are a few guitar straps and various guitar picks at music 123 which seem to be all over the house.  So in order to get things organized, she is getting a few of the Bungalow Junque Trunk Blue Stripe bins from See Jane Works.  These collapsible storage bins are just perfect for a boy’s room.  They are sturdy and easy to wipe clean.
