Have you heard of Ramsign ?  They are a sign company specializing in porcelain enamel signs for your home.  These signs are widely seen throughout Europe.  They are bringing the hand stenciled method to modern day design.  Each personalized sign comes with a lifetime guarantee.  Their bright and vibrant colors will not fade over time. House signs not only identify your home, but they can be an additional decorative feature. Ramsign started back in 1991 by Nick Brandt.  He opened a small shop to sell hand-stenciled enamel signs.  The response was good from his buyers and the business took off.  People felt an emotional connection to the signs.  Over the years, the company developed a classic catalog.  The company storefront closed but they are still growing and producing new products. Ramsign is offering one of you a free house sign up to $99!!  You can choose a sign with your house number or a special date.  The...

Hey there good people.  We're soaking up the last days of summer over here before school starts next week. We recently added another rug pad to our home.  I bought a new rug for the living room back in November of last year.  We rarely use this space but I was concerned the scratchy back of the rug would scratch our floors.  The good people over at RugPadUSA were kind enough to send us another one for this room.  I love the difference it makes.  The area is now padded and I don't have to worry about the kids hurting themselves now.  It feels softer to walk on and I know the hardwood is being protected. Like the previous rug pad , this one is a premium lock .  It's made of high performance recycled felt with a natural rubber bottom for grip.  Rug pads provide comfort when using your rug and protects the floor underneath.  They also prolong the life of your rug.  RugPadUSA offers many types of rug pads that can protect ...

A while back I was given the opportunity to try some GE Reveal light bulbs .  I love the white light they cast off instead of the usual yellow glow from incandescent bulbs.  It's amazing the impact that lighting makes in a room.  Just changing an ordinary bulb to a GE reveal bulb made a huge difference.  The colors are more vibrant and less muted than a room using a standard bulb.   Like me, many consumers have a hard time trying to decide which bulbs and lighting are right for their home.  Choosing the right bulb for each room can be easy if you remember these four steps: pick the right fit, choose the right brightness, select energy savings and lifetime of the bulb, plus the right color and effect.   GE has created three infographics along with some videos to help you along the way to a brighter home as you compare bulbs and consider the four steps.  Please visit the GE website for more information. You can also watch this fun and...

I'm all for statement pieces. I like to keep my wardrobe classic and simple so a big colorful necklace will set off an outfit.  One of the newest pieces I've bought was one of the trendy teardrop bubble necklaces.  I was a little skeptical at first because it looked huge but now that I have it, I love it!  Not too big and gives a great pop of color.  It definitely catches the eye. I like my new necklace so much, I wanted to share and give you one too! Enter below for a chance to win a pink teardrop bubble necklace with a gold plated chain. a Rafflecopter giveaway   Giveaway ends September 8th at midnight.

I just found out Barn Light Electric is having their annual lighting giveaway .  The prizes are one (1) $1,000.00 and one (1) $500.00 (USD) Barn Light Electric Gift Certificate.  That's a lot of money I could spend.  I've seen several bloggers use them as sponsors and Michelle won the contest last year.  What have I got to lose.  I would love to win some new lights.  Their name led me to think they were more country lighting options, but to my surprise, they have some more modern options as well. We still need to change the lights in the kitchen and I think these pendants would be perfect.   Globe 1-Light Pendant I even like this one with all the lights attached. Globe 3-Light Bar We still haven't changed the builder light in the master bedroom.  It tend to get hot in the south a we would definitely need a ceiling fan.  This one is very modern and has clean lines.
