			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">When you&#8217;re young and living in an apartment or a dorm, chances are, you can&#8217;t do much to make that space feel like your own. Especially if you want to do really interesting, alternative things, and even more so if you don&#8217;t have a ton of money. Does this mean you&#8217;re bound to live with bare white walls and ugly furniture? Absolutely not! Here are some alternative/ punk/ emo home design tips for the DIY-inclined.</p>
<p><span id="more-171"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Color and ambience:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Most apartments and dorm rooms come with standard-issue white walls. Boring! Want to add some color, without much hassle? Christmas lights. Truly, there is no easier way to change the color, look, and feel of a room than by using these lights. They&#8217;re simple to hang: you can just tack them up around the border of your room&#8217;s ceiling. Put all red lights up, and your room will appear to have a red hue to it. You can even put up more than one color, and choose which set to plug in. Blue today, green tomorrow. It&#8217;s simple and affordable. To further add to the effect, you can switch the bulbs in some of your lamps to colored &#8220;party bulbs.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Since a lot of emo kids like to have ambient lighting, this is a perfect choice. Even plain white Christmas lights can change the look of a room, without providing too much light.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Floors:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Do you have boring floors? Ugly tiles or nasty carpet? No problem. Buying an area rug can be expensive as anything&#8230; but many stores sell large, but affordable bath mats that you can use as smaller area rugs. It may sound strange, but there are plenty of stylish, large bathmats out there to choose from, including ones made of fake fur. Bonus: they&#8217;re meant to be slip-proof, and tend to be easier to clean if they get wet than an area rug.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Further, a DIY/punk type could easily buy and cut what is known as remnant carpet to either carpet smaller rooms or to make their own area rugs. The whole idea is to be creative!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Futons:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Did you inherit an old futon that isn&#8217;t the nicest ever? Futon covers are expensive, but you can find bed sheets that fit the futon for significantly less money. At &#8220;mall punk&#8221; stores, the average emo or punk kid could find all kinds of neat things, like Nightmare Before Christmas sheets&#8230; and even in the kids&#8217; sections of regular stores, there are plenty of interesting and cute things. Halloween is a great time to seek out things like spider webs and pumpkins; Valentine&#8217;s day is great for hearts. Be creative! Throw blankets &#8211; usually cheap and made of fleece, are an affordable option to finish out your fun, personalized futon. Oh, and pillows! Don&#8217;t forget the pillows! You can usually find them for affordable prices [along with pillowcases of your choice] at major discount stores.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Your kitchen:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Craft store, craft store, craft store! I can&#8217;t stress this enough! You can find all kinds of things cheap and ready to customize, at almost any craft store. Storage tins, jars, and containers can be customized to hold anything from spoons and spatulas to food items or napkins. These stores, as well as major discount stores, also usually have affordable towels &#8211; though the holidays are a great time to stock up on ones you like. Craft foam can be used to make kitchen [or dining room] place mats &#8211; and you can customize them however you want, to boot!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Furniture</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">While you&#8217;re at the craft store, you may notice some unpainted, boring wooden furniture. Or maybe you&#8217;ll hit a thrift store and find some hideous looking, but functional, furniture. Your easy solution? Paint. Just buy some paint and sealant [that part is important; it will protect the paint] and make furniture that suits your needs and personality. Want a purple dresser? There&#8217;s nothing stopping you! You can paint your DIY furniture with a brush, or en try different techniques, like stencils or sponges, to get different effects or multiple hues.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">General supplies:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you are going to get into alternative and DIY home design, it is important to have some basic supplies:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is always good to have a bucket and strong cleaner on hand, just in case something spills.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you&#8217;re painting furniture or other items, an inexpensive drop cloth is a good idea. You can use a cheap plastic table cloth or shower curtain liner for this.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Pencils are good for sketching out designs, marking tack holes, or for jotting down measurements. Scissors and a sharp utility blade should also be in your bare basics kit, as should glue. A hot glue gun is great for decorating, especially if you will be adding things like jewels or stones to items [such a plain storage boxes or canisters]. A hot glue gun can also be used for small repairs on wooden items.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In the end, when it comes to having an alternative looking apartment or dorm, without spending money, the trick is to look to the DIY punk and emo ethic and be creative. Once you tap into your creativity, there is really no limit to what you can do!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">For many people, childhood just wasn&#8217;t complete without reading about the Little House on the Prairie or creating their own adventures in the great outdoors. Some people are just ingrained with an unmatched love for log cabins, wood floors, cooking dinner over an open fire, and cleaning the floor with the strokes of a broom instead of an electric-powered vacuum. You do not need to be the proud owner of a log cabin or even live near the woods or mountains to obtain the style of home that you want. Modern homes, whether they are in the city or country, can benefit from rustic decor. Whether you are trying to deck out your entire home in rustic style or just looking for ideas for a thematic room or event, rustic designs are a unique eye-catcher to combat ordinary designs.</p>
<p><span id="more-140"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Interior Accents</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Decorating in the rustic home involves natural accents to complement the simple style of the home. For wooden floors, throw rugs are traditionally used to help keep the feet warm and comfortable particularly in areas near the sink and stove. Not only do they provide physical comfort, but they are a welcoming sight as well.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Many homes are decorated with pots of plants or flowers. Supplementing this greenery with twigs will create a more &#8220;woodsy&#8221;� outdoor feel. Decorate bedposts or railings with vine. Be sure to include practical approaches such as choosing furniture that compliments a designated theme. If your kitchen or dining room is equipped with a bar, consider purchasing rustic bar stools. Other furniture such as wicker chairs will help achieve the desired look.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Burlap for All Occasions</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Adding a rustic theme to buildings or property does not need to be an expensive venture. Burlap is a treasure when it comes to rustic decorations. It can be used in the home, on costumes, outdoors, and is especially helpful for special events and holidays to help keep the rustic feel for any occasion. Though burlap is commonly used as a strong sack to harbor objects and protect them from wet environments, there is more than meets the eye to this material.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">- Halloween</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Burlap adds a simple yet rustic and outdoorsy touch to any decoration. Perhaps its best uses are outdoors in the fall for such occasions as Halloween. Burlap is often used as part of a scarecrow. Stuffing a bag of burlap serves well as a scarecrow head attached to a flannel shirt and an old pair of jeans. Additionally, burlap is a naturally tattered-looking material. It is ideal for adding a haunted theme to any setting. Shredding strips of this material is a great way to make creepy curtains. If burlap is used as part of a costume, be sure to wear a layer of clothing between your skin and the burlap, as burlap is very coarse and will cause irritation.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">- Thanksgiving Table Centerpiece</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Burlap is possibly the most appropriately used decoration at Thanksgiving time. Its natural fibers create the rustic, harvest time feel that accentuate the season and can allow anyone to identify with the pilgrims who are commemorated on this holiday. Burlap can be purchased by the yard. Select the appropriate size according to your table. Simply lay the burlap over the table and cut to the appropriate length and width. To add some fun to this decoration, pull a few strands of the burlap long at intervals throughout the cloth. This will add a raggedy feel to the centerpiece.1</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">- For the Outdoor Lover</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For those who seek an outdoor feel in their own home, try the following option. Purchase a large piece of burlap tailored to fit a specific portion of your wall. Using starch as an adhesive, apply the burlap to the wall. If the burlap pulls away from the wall in any place, add more starch until the piece lay completely flat against the wall. Since burlap already has several small holes throughout, you may now hook on any decor you wish such as large fishing lures. Additionally, place nails or brackets along the burlap to hang that mounted trophy bass, a straw hat, or various furs. For more information on adhering the burlap to the wall, follow the instructions in the second resource below.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Creating a rustic feel in the home is limited only by the extent of your imagination. Using everyday resources such as twigs, vines, and burlap enhance the outdoor quality of any decoration at a reasonable cost.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">When you are decorating your house for the change of seasons what all does that entail? Perhaps you change out the china to a pattern that is more suited to the current season&#8217;s colors. Maybe you bring out the autumn, Halloween and Thanksgiving centerpieces and accent pieces for all the tables in your house. You may even start lighting up candles that give off scents of the holidays, like pumpkin pie.</p>
<p><span id="more-123"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you are like most people, you take care of all the bigger bases when it comes to holiday decorating, but have you thought about trying to take on some of the smaller bases and do accent decorating.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Although most people don&#8217;t think of their cabinet hardware until they need to open a shelf or a drawer, there is a lot that can be done with knobs and pulls to make it a part of your seasonal decorations.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There is a whole market out there of companies that do nothing but create cabinet hardware to fit every style, whim and theme that they can think of. This means you can easily find a set of knobs and pulls that is perfect for the fall holiday season.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Halloween &#8211; For Halloween you can go as cute and whimsical or even scary as you would like when it comes to the knobs and pulls for your cabinetry. If you like the fun and cute side of the holiday you could use pumpkin, smiling jack-o-lantern or candy corn hardware pieces. If you want to focus on the trick-or-treating ideal, you can choose ghosts, goblins and masks.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Thanksgiving &#8211; From turkeys to pilgrims and cornucopias, there are plenty of options to choose from when you decide it&#8217;s time to select thanksgiving hardware pieces for your kitchen cabinetry.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Fall &#8211; Fall is a colorful time of year and you can replace your normal cabinet hardware with pieces that show off all the brilliance of the season. Some of the options for drawer pulls and knobs in your kitchen include leaves, acorns, various nuts and berries and much more.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Mix it Up</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Once you have selected which fall theme you want to go with, you need to decide if you want all your cabinets to look the same or if you want to mix it up. There is nothing wrong with combining a number of the different designs from one category to add more fun to your kitchen.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">While you may think you don&#8217;t really want to be changing your knobs and pulls back and forth, consider this. Your cabinet hardware is only going to last for so long. Wear and tear is going to make it where you are going to have to eventually replace all of those pieces. You can either do this just once, and have to come up with a new design at that time, or choose pieces that you change our more periodically. By changing out your cabinet hardware to go with the season, you will, in truth, be saving your regular hardware a few months of wear and tear. Add that up over a few years and you may tack a year or more on before you have to buy a new set.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Author Jennifer Akre is an owner of a wide variety of online specialty shops including that offer both items and information on how you can easily furnish and decorate your space. Whether it&#8217;s your living, bedroom, or even your deck or patio, there are many tips you can use to make those spots both functional and beautiful. Today, she offers advice on how to create a fabulous living area by using stylish cabinet hardware and elegant dining room furniture for the heart of your home.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">We all buy mattresses for our homes and often get five, ten, fifteen maybe twenty years worth of use out of these mattresses. We go out and purchase a new mattress and of course must find a way to dispose of our old mattress. Many dispose of their mattresses via trash or disposal service. But this leads to filling our landfills with old mattresses creating a sort of mattress graveyard where more trash and debris cover them up to lay beneath tons and tons of trash in a landfill. Many of the materials inside these mattresses is not biodegradable.</p>
<p><span id="more-119"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This is the month of October which brings us Halloween, ghosts, ghouls and scares. Perhaps, when we bury our old mattresses we should be concerned that they are going to rise from the ground and walk the earth like mattress zombies scouring the Earth for restless sleepers like us . Perhaps your old mattress is looking for you like the zombie out of a Halloween thriller. Maybe there is a better way though of disposing our old mattresses that&#8217;s more green friendly rather than burying them. That way they won&#8217;t be possessed with the idea of coming to find us.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Many civic leaders and environmentalist have come to the same conclusion that disposing of large bulky items that can&#8217;t decompose into a landfill just isn&#8217;t the solution. So what are some of the options we have for discarding our old mattresses? If your mattress is perhaps five years old or less and is still in new or close to new condition then it should be recommended to ask family or friends if they can use your mattress. Explain how much you paid for it and tell them you&#8217;d rather see someone you know be able to use it rather than discarding it. You&#8217;d be surprised how many people may have a mattress on its last leg and may jump at an opportunity to replace it with a more modern mattress.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Perhaps your family and friends are happy with their mattresses (which is good) and just can&#8217;t find a use for yours. If this is the case why not considering donating your mattress to one of the many charitable organizations or non-profit organizations out there. Companies like Goodwill or Salvation Army are often happy to accept lightly used mattresses that they can use in their own programs or offer them for sale through their stores to raise money for the different programs they offer for your community. It&#8217;s not scary at all to drop off your old mattress to the different drop off locations. Who knows, perhaps your mattress will find a new home and live again.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are also manufacturers who take old mattresses and use the old steel spring components and anything else that can be recycled to make new reconditioned mattresses. With the price of steel and foams climbing many of these businesses are able to recycle old mattresses and re-introduce new components into them to make a new mattress. These mattresses feature yellow law labels sewn into them and are companies like these accept and often will pick up old mattresses for these components. Typically only found in larger metropolitan areas these manufacturers or local shops help to find new life for your old mattress which will keep it out of a landfill. Recycled and reconditioned mattresses won&#8217;t have bugs or other crawling creatures come out of them like some scary Halloween thriller. They are specially sanitized and cleaned before being returned to the general public for sale again but have new life breathed into them.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Many city waste processing centers are starting to recycle old mattresses by taking the steel out of them and scrapping it and melting it down as well. Not all do this but many are again due to the high cost of steel. You can contact your local city waste pickup center and ask them if they recycle. Metal scrap yards might also be a great place for recycling your mattress rather than introducing it into a landfill.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In this article I brought out the fact that landfills have long been mattress graveyards by mattresses being placed into landfills and buried by tons of trash and waste. There are alternatives to this and include donating your mattress to companies like Goodwill or the Salvation Army. Having them picked up by local manufacturers who recycle them into new reconditioned mattresses. There is always the choice too of having them picked up by your local waste or recycling center which can use the steel and other materials out of the mattress which will reduce what goes into landfills.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Hopefully if you&#8217;re considering disposing of a mattress you can find a better home for it than having it get buried into a graveyard of old mattresses, trash and other waste. If you decide to try to recycle your old mattress than you&#8217;re definitely doing you&#8217;re part to help be more green and eco-friendly towards our environment. If you decide to just send your old mattress off to a landfill however, beware. Old mattresses in the mattress graveyard have been known to come out at night, looking for restless sleepers with whom to find. As you&#8217;re telling ghost stories around that Halloween campfire, watch out behind you. That old mattress may be lurking like an undead zombie in the shadows. Stay alert and make sure you all stay together. Much like our planet&#8217;s ecology if we all do our part we&#8217;ll hopefully make it through to the sequel.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Have you pulled out your dining room decorations for fall? It could be Halloween or Thanksgiving fun items you are pulling out for your dining room or even your living room, but what about the kitchen?</p>
<p><span id="more-113"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">While most of the great foods from this time of year are born in the kitchen of a home, it seems many people don&#8217;t appreciate their kitchens as much as they should and don&#8217;t decorate them for fall festivities. You should at least make an effort to decorate the table.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Maybe you&#8217;re not sure what type of theme to go with in this room? Well, here are a few ideas</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Halloween</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you really love Halloween, you should dress up your kitchen for this holiday as well. Start with the tables. Most people think of treats and great things to eat on Halloween. That means they are going to look at the kitchen tables immediately upon walking into the kitchen. They may hope there are a few treats sitting around waiting to be munched on. Don&#8217;t disappoint. From popcorn balls to wrapped candied apples or freshly made Halloween cupcakes, make sure there is always something pleasing to the eye and stomach.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Thanksgiving</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When you think of your kitchen tables and Thanksgiving you may be thinking of all the work that is going to be done in this place to make sure the dining room fare is perfect on Thanksgiving Day. Feel free to keep the theme going while decorating your tables. A perfect way to do this is to set up a cornucopia on the table and have all sorts of fall colored foods coming out of the opening. Every grocery store is stocked with beautiful ears of corn and colorful squashes and gourds that will complete the look.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Apple or Pumpkin Pie</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Nothing says holidays in the kitchen like the scent of pie. It could be apple pie or pumpkin pie, but either one lets everyone in the house know that someone is in that kitchen creating a holiday favorite. If you want to turn this theme into your kitchen décor, there are a few things to do:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Scent &#8211; You need the scent of pie in the kitchen. You could cook pies regularly. But if you would rather not, consider putting scented candles on your kitchen tables or try any of the other various room fragrances that you can purchase at the store.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Look &#8211; Thankfully, pie is a very popular theme in kitchens. You won&#8217;t have a problem finding all sorts of placemats, centerpiece items and accents with pie themes to decorate your kitchen tables with country warmth.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Festive Fall</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One final theme to consider is just to appreciate the season. Fall in itself is a beautiful time of year with all the colors changing in the trees. You can bring this to your kitchen tables with a fall theme that includes leaf decorated china, leaf shaped placemats and a centerpiece made out of foliage that brags the best of the colors of autumn.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">The interiors of a home reflect your personality. The choice of colours and lighting needs to be carefully chosen. Though cosmetic effect is necessary, a house needs to look like a home. It is normal to present a bouquet when you meet someone but dried flowers seems to have longer life and can be included as a house warming present. Petals, grass, flowers, buds and also nuts can be used as decoration. This is certainly an unique way of adding style to your interiors. It must be remembered that when dried flowers are used, the arrangement needs creativity and the illumination on the same should be just right.</p>
<p><span id="more-107"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Oshibana or the Japanase art of pressed flowers is the oldest form. Dried flowers are of multi purpose value as the same can also be availed for medicinal use. Adorning the house with dried flowers can be traced in the Victorian times. The flowers can be used as a centerpiece. One could also place a bouquet of dried flowers over the shoe rack or the end table. If one has a corner table in the farthermost corner of the house, dried petals of rose or lily along with gleaming marbles or white stones will just bring about more life in the room.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If one is having a party in the balcony or a typical BBQ party then the arrangement of a lotus or mahogany dried petals seems to charm the entrance of the house. Elegant styling of furniture with Victorian hints and upholstery can be nostalgic with a mixture of assorted items in a potpourri. Dried flowers arrangement is all about unleashing creativity. The fragrance emanating from the potpourri is the result of preservation of the aromatic oils which lasts for months. Use a potpourri of maize, birch pine or sponge mushroom has benefits. Mixing the dried flowers is a careful, yet personal choice. The contrast colours of flower arrangement might just pep the walls and the leaves in pressed form can be scattered casually in a basket.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There is a certain forest-woody feeling, when one is able to use the dried flower arrangement near the fireplace. An ethnic urn close by and also a lantern with a candle illumination will add a mystery appeal. For a perfect candlelight dinner at home, purchase a few bright candles in yellow, orange and reds and place an assortment of leaves and pine needles.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Vibrant foliage can be collected with the annual flowers like Dahlia and oregano. Perennial varieties include Daisy and Flax. Again over stocking the place with too many flowers and contrasting colours will be confusing the style element. The need here is minimalism and a touch of creativity. Use it in the corners of a section, the entrance or near the fountain. Flowers at the mantelpiece or near the bookshelf in single stalks seem a good idea.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So the next time you plan to decorate your house try the dried flower arrangements it is also one of the best summer activities for kids. Also check for Halloween crafts on our website.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">The remarkable ritual of fall decorating is already underway. The days are shorter and there is crispness in the air in many parts of the country. It is time to integrate fall home decorating ideas into your home to give it a new lease on life.</p>
<p><span id="more-78"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What would fall home decorating be without pumpkins? Whether they are real or fake, you can find pumpkins in all shapes, sizes and designs to be used indoors or outdoors.<br />
By the way, pumpkin carving dates back to the late 1800&#8217;s when European immigrants to the New World saw how plentiful pumpkins were and started hollowing out jack-o-lanterns from pumpkins instead of using their traditional turnips!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Pumpkins can be used in traditional fall floral arrangements and work very well in cornucopias. Another home decorating idea for pumpkins is to use them to create topiaries. Pumpkins can be used throughout the entire fall season including Halloween and Thanksgiving.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Wreaths and floral arrangements are a marvelous way to add the colors of the fall season to your home and one of the easiest ways to set the mood in a room. This is a basic home decorating tip to keep in mind any season of the year. Incorporate the beautiful fall shades of yellow, orange, red and warm brown into your floral arrangements to bring a touch of nature indoors.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Items that can be used to create a wreath or a floral arrangement include dried or silk flowers, berries, seasonal fruit, pinecones, ribbons, bows, pumpkins, evergreen twigs, and dried grasses. A visit to a craft store will give you more than enough home decorating ideas to get you started.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A home decorating tip for using candles in your home décor is to place them in empty bottles. Select bottles and jars with interesting shapes and colors which will hold tapers or votives. It&#8217;s a great way to add fall color to your décor.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">According to one online source, Halloween spending is second only to Christmas. This is in large part due to the popularity of Halloween décor both inside and outside the house. Whether you go all out and decorate for Halloween or just use home decorating ideas for the fall season in general, at least add a special touch to your home with fall colors.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Halloween is just around the corner. How are you doing on decorating for this fun time of year? If you have pulled out the cobwebs, big spiders, tombstones and other ghosts and goblins you&#8217;ve had packed away, you may be starting to set them up to create a frightfully good time in your home.</p>
<p><span id="more-17"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But what about the trick-or-treaters? Have you come up with a really fun way to get them to be a part of your home display? If you have hutches in your home, we&#8217;re going to help you make their Halloween trick-or-treating a scream.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">First, consider the look of your hutches. Most hutches have a counter that sticks out a little bit below the shelving portion of the furniture piece. While in a regularly lighted room this looks like a nice piece of furniture, if it&#8217;s dark and there are cobwebs hanging from it, it looks like a black hole where anything could be hiding under the first shelf of the hutch.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We&#8217;re going to turn your hutches into mystery graveyards.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Start with the shelves. If you have items you can&#8217;t take off the shelves, you will at least need to cover them up to make the theme work. If you can remove the items, you have more decorating space. You will want to put foam tombstones and possibly some fake bones of hands or feet sticking off the end of the shelf.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">On the counter portion of your hutches, you need to put down a layer of protective material (a garbage bag will do in a pinch), and then cover it with black fabric. On top of this you will need to place a couple of bowls, which can be pushed back to the wall of the hutch (these are going to be your treat bowls).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now you need to decorate the front of the counter on the hutches with more tombstones, skeleton pieces and anything else that gives a creepy look. Finally drape the whole area with cobwebs.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What you want to have accomplished is an area where the kids will have to reach through the scary graveyard and cobwebs to go to the bowls they can&#8217;t see at the back of the hutches to get their candy.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Motion Activated Items</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Many stores carry motion activated items these days that are great to add to this theme. They could be items you can set on the shelves or the counter of the hutches or have sitting nearby. All that matters is as the kids try to approach to get their candy, the motion activated toys come to life.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sounds and Lights</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A big part of what makes Halloween spooky is the lights and sounds of the holiday. You should set up your stereo to play a creepy soundtrack and have very dark lighting to make your hutches look even more like a scary place to visit.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Final Touches</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you really want to be a tough venue, you can also mix up the bowls. You can have some of the bowls have treats and others have store bought slime that they may reach their hand into. You can claim it&#8217;s the brains of someone who was buried in the cemetery and watch them scream.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">As we move into October, the days are ticking down to Halloween. This is the second most popular holiday to decorate for (after Christmas). For many people the decorations for Halloween mean transforming their entire front yard into a graveyard or other eerie scene. But why leave all the fun out front? Bring some of it inside and decorate your accent tables to do it right.</p>
<p><span id="more-14"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Decorating the inside of your house for Halloween doesn&#8217;t have to be as big of an ordeal as the outside is. You do still need to live in this space, so it needs to be manageable.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Look Online</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Start your search for how to dress up your home online. There are plenty of interior decorators that will be happy to show you their Halloween best. While you may not be trying to go all out, like they do, their decorations may give you ideas for the direction you would like to go.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">See What You Have</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Look around your house. Chances are you have plenty of things that can take on another role for Halloween décor, especially those fun items that you could put on accent tables. That black cloth you haven&#8217;t gotten around to using for a craft project will be great to cover a coffee table or end table. Those accent tables that look like barrels are already perfect pieces of décor that can become a part of your show.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Go Shopping</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A trip to the store will likely give you many more ideas for ways to decorate some portions of your house. The key is to hold off on buying until you are sure of what you are doing. It&#8217;s easy to think things are great looking and start buying without knowing how they will go together. Then, you get home and have a lot of things you no longer want to use, yet spent money on.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Start Putting It Together</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Once you have a theme in mind, start to piece it together. If you don&#8217;t have any unique furniture, you may want to drape the wooden pieces you have with cobwebs and black cloth. Then consider shopping for a few accent tables that can fit the theme. There are very affordable accent tables that are made specifically for Halloween. These are great if you have a lot of storage. If not, you may want to choose some that can be used year round.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Accent tables with wrought iron legs or those that look like they were made of old driftwood or barn wood can look like part of your Halloween décor as well as part of the décor you may use every day.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Once you get all your scary items in place, make sure you don&#8217;t forget the important things &#8211; treats. Everyone expects that well decorated homes will be the ones giving out yummy treats. You can choose a couple of themed bowls to set up on your accent tables so there is always something sweet to snack on. After all, remember, if you don&#8217;t have treats you may well end up having people playing tricks on you come Halloween night.</p>
