				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>During the winter months, if you want to change the look of your home by creating a warm look, then the great some changes which you can bring about in the overall décor. You can go for some bright wall hangings. Keeping the festive theme in mind, you can use warm lamps and fairy lights to glam up your home. Fairy lights have the tendency to subtly bring out the highlights of the room.</p>
<p>You can also go for Moroccan lamps in your home. They cast a very mystical light in the rooms they are put in. You can also change your drapes and other fabrics in the rooms in order to create a warm feeling. Bright colors like orange, yellow and even bright green can be used in pillow and cushion covers. You can also go for heavy drapes instead of laced curtains to create a cozy and comfortable look. </p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you want to give your home an antique look then you must get some furniture that will give that antique or rustic look.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="padding-right: 10px" src="http://img851.imageshack.us/img851/8985/naturalstonetiles.jpg" alt="" width="134" height="179" align="left" />The term natural stone refers to the stones that are produced from the mountains such as Travertine, Limestone, Slate, Sandstone, Granite, and Marble. Each of these stones has varying characteristics that sets them apart and are good choices as floor tiles. However, a few things need to be kept in mind before taking your final decision. The first thing that needs to be checked is the absorption ratio, which means how porous a material is as the more porous it is, the more susceptible it will be to developing cracks.</p>
<p>One also needs to check the coefficient of friction resulting due to expansion and contraction during climate changes and whether it is used in an area which is more slippery and thus requiring a higher coefficient of friction. The major advantage of using a natural stone tile is the fact that these tiles are very eco friendly and non-polluting. The use of these natural tiles helps one to feel re-connected with nature and it gives the house a sense of uniqueness and great looks.</p>
