Best home improvement and technology advices? Undertaking work yourself can allow you to control costs and quality, but don’t be over-ambitious and plan to do more work than you really have time – or the skill – to undertake successfully. You could end up slowing the whole project down and living in a building site for years, which can in turn lead to family conflicts and potentially to accidents. Bad DIY will also cost you dearly, slowing down the other trades, wasting materials, sometimes causing work to be done twice, and ultimately devaluing the property if it is not put right. You can get so tied up in DIY work that you lose focus on running the project and keeping up with decisions. Discover extra information at interior design ideas.
On the other end of the colour spectrum and sitting in a far quieter zone is a rise in interesting, ultra-luxe but ultimately very wearable wardrobe staples. This doesn’t translate as boring, and I’m not talking about basic tees that cost a fortune, more low-key staples with interesting twists: a trench coat with a unique label, a co-ord set with quirky buttons, a pair of tailored trousers in a more unusual silky-satin finish.
This fresh new floral look has taken over the wedding scene. The mono-floral look is centered around the idea of having your florist create floral arrangements for the wedding only using one type of flower. Expert tip: The mono-floral look is perfect for couples who are trying to achieve a minimalist look but still want a major impact and to add some floral beauty. Dried flowers are hitting the wedding market in a big way; and they might even be able to save your budget. Work with your florist to create a look of dried flowers and work in wheat and eucalyptus. Expert tip: Perfect for fall weddings, outdoor weddings, and vintage-inspired events where couples want to add some unique decor and centerpieces.
A textured updo feels romantic and effortless so your accessories should capture this vibe. Find small pins that you can scatter to the side of your updo, or a medium sized comb which can sit in the middle to frame your wedding veil. Depending on the size of your bun and your face shape, exaggerated earrings will balance out your look and will bring attention to the front and sides. It would be a shame to cover up beautiful braids and twists so pair this look with a sheer minimalist veil or position it just above the bun (rather than the crown of your head). Avoid veils with extra wide combs (i.e. wider than 3-3.5 inches) as larger veil combs will look too bulky. Veils attached to smaller combs from 1.5 inches to 3 inches will create a more contemporary finish. Find more details at https://www.quant6.com/.
For couples who opt to take on the wedding planning process sans a professional planner or coordinator, a traditional etiquette and guidebook (such as Mindy’s The Wedding Book) is a wealth of information and expert advice, including tips and tricks and even examples of timelines and checklists. (And of course, you can always search Brides for answers to your planning and wedding etiquette questions!) You can find tons of examples in wedding planning books and online, too, for master checklists of to-dos that are broken down by the months, weeks, and even days leading up to the wedding. (Feel free to adapt it to suit your own needs, as necessary).
While you can’t exactly load it in the car and take it to a local park, this outdoor kitchen kit from Tytus is a portable grill, with sturdy wheels that allow you to move it around your patio or deck. It’s more like an outdoor kitchen island with a cooking surface. The grill is fueled by propane and has no electrical parts, just a side sear burner and an ice bucket. There’s an ice bucket built in to keep things cold too. A rotisserie kit and grill cover are optional. Another great DIY option, these modular kitchen frame kits from Big Ridge Outdoor Kitchens allow you to design around as many components as your space and budget. Each piece can be ordered with vents, back splash panels and GFCI outlets. Once you assemble the frame, you can customize it with a tile or granite countertop, stone or stucco, and appliances that fit in your price range.
