HomeWorth Interiors got featured

Hello Homeowners,

I am feeling lazy and a bit under the weather today. I just don't feel like doing anything, not even to get out of bed. Please pardon me, It's gonna be a very SHORT & LAZY post.

Today's post is inspired by Chizzy from Chizzysignature Blog, who featured me on her blog. She was celebrating a milestone (3 months on blogsville) and decided to introduce and share with her readers, the great people she has meet on blog-world. I was surprised, thrilled and a little nervous when she asked me to send in a post. I was wondering exactly what to put out there that would be interesting. Writing the post, i had this jitters just the same way i felt writing my first blog post (obviously nervous even though it isn't an autobiography, Lol) but yea, i was able to write something. You can read the post here and i do hope you enjoy it....

Thank you Chizzy for featuring me and please remember to connect with her.

Cheers 

Will You Still Use Carpets After Reading This?

Granted carpets have their unique look and feel… they are soft and comfy, bringing a warm look to a room. It’s important however to understand the demerits of carpet. Did you know that carpets are harbourers of allergens and trappers of toxins like pesticides that get tracked in from outside. Most synthetic carpets also contain VOCs.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) refer to organic chemical compounds which have significant vapor pressures and which can affect the environment and human health. VOCs are numerous, varied, and ubiquitous. Most scents or odours are of VOCs. Some are dangerous to human health or cause harm to the environment. Harmful VOCs are typically not acutely toxic, but instead have compounding long-term health effects. They can be man-made or natural.

Let's Talk Decor: Wallpaper

Hello Homeowners,
I am starting a new post series called "let's talk decor" which will focus on a particular decor accessory, discuss it's use, show pictures of how to achieve different decor styles and also direct you to where to shop. The idea was borne out of the fact that people tend to ask me a lot of times, what/how/where/when they can use a particular decor accessory. Also, i realized that post on decor tips are usually the most visited and commented especially the post on finding other uses for your shoe organizer. We all know that shoe organizer is somewhat an outdated organization item but we were able to see other ways to transform the home with it.

So today, let's talk wallpaper!

Find Other Uses For Your Shoe Organizer

Hello Homeowners, 

You want to know what else you can do with your shoe organizer beside keeping your shoes? If you are like me that have more of high heeled shoes, then those pockets won't work for you. I got one as a wedding souvenir, converted it to a bathroom organizer and oh! it was quiet functional (thank me for the souvenir idea, just in case you are still making a list) and most of all - it's not expensive!

I will show you just a few pictures that you can easily relate with. So, keep calm and start organizing!

Do It Yourself - Pretty Girls Sew

After learning to cook, I'd highly encourage every girl/lady/woman to learn to sew. It's not always the cheaper route, but it's a good lesson in patience & perseverance and keeps you from sitting in front of the TV on a rainy day. Also, it's a BIG money-saver in the home. You can achieve a whole lot around the house with your sewing skills. Here is a few but the list is inexhaustible:

Here's My Grand Entryway

Hey! We are fifty-four days gone into 2015 but its never too late to welcome you into the New Year!!!!!! Opps! i meant welcome into my home through the eyes of my entryway.......your first view when you walk through my front door.

I decided to make the entryway both decorative and functional and again, i created a gallery wall above the credenza to showcase my family's precious memories. For the time being, its just my hubby and I but I will definitely fill up the spaces as my family grows.

TURF! How creative can you be?

Artificial turf is a surface of synthetic fibers made to look like natural grass. It is most often used in arenas for sports that were originally or are normally played on grass. However, it is now being used on residential lawns and commercial applications as well.
Artificial turf does have its downside: limited life, periodic cleaning requirements, petroleum use, toxic chemicals from infill, and some heightened health and safety concerns but its aesthetic advantages outweighs.

Kitchen Makeover In View

I remember vividly when hubby and I first came to check our apartment, i could barely find my way through the kitchen, it was DARK (from top of the ceiling to the walls) I mean, i wondered if the people that lived there cooked on firewood. It pains me that i have lost all the pictures we took of the dark apartment. Notwithstanding, i will still do a 'before and after' post of my kitchen makeover!

Then again, we are faced with the challenge of space; the kitchen and in fact the entire house is small and (that's what you get from a rented apartment in this part of the world *whew*) Well, my plan is to lighten up the kitchen and make it more functional and i am not giving up!

The orange cabinet below was what i had in mind but my search through kitchen designs ended up with a change of mind from orange to an off-white cabinet and a brown counter-top.

Events: Decor Meets Couture 2

Yes! I made it to the event on Saturday, 31st January at Oriental Hotel, Lekki. I went with a friend of mine, Rosie.

I must confess, the twin ladies behind the event are talented; Taiwo Debo-Akande of Adela's Haven and Kehinde Ogotimehin Belle D'Jour Couture (Oh! how i love and desire twins, only God knows).

I took a few personal pictures because we were not allowed to take pictures of the items on sale. That's their policy and it should be respected.
