Here are some advice tips and ideas for painting small spaces and using dramatic color from experts:
Take the opposite wall from the source of light — whether it be a door or a window — and mirror the entire thing in three vertical sections. The middle section should constitute 50% of the wall, and the two side panels should be 25% each. It's an elegant look, and it always doubles the room visually. In truly tiny spaces, like my guest bathroom, I mirrored every square inch where there should have been paint, except the ceiling." —ANN DUPUY, NEW ORLEANS, LA
"Instead of painting walls bright white to make the space feel larger, take the counterintuitive approach — go deep, dark, and mysterious. A teal blue silk wall covering or an entire wall of leather floor tiles gives you a striking look without taking up any floor space." —FRANK ROOP, BOSTON
Saturate the space in one medium or dark color, such as moss, warm dark gray, or chocolate brown. Use it on every door, every ceiling, the trim, the window frames and the door frames, as if you're dipping the whole room in a bucket of paint. It takes away all the boundaries and you're left with the infinity of the universe. It's like Houdini came in and decorated." —BARRY DIXON, WARRENTON, VA

WEDDING IDEAS FOR THE BUGET CONSCIOUS
These days, 4 out of 5 couples pay for their own wedding. Perhaps the most important thing that must be done when you are ready to begin planning your wedding is to first create your budget. Your budget is important because it is almost impossible to know what you can afford for each aspect of the wedding if you don’t give yourself a limit to the overall spending costs. For most people, creating the budget is the hardest job to do because you want to have the nicest and most memorable wedding that you can afford. You can always find nice deals on guest books and the other little extras such as: wedding albums, guest books, tiaras, veils, jewelry accessories, and shoes just by shopping around. Many of the little items can be found cheap just by shopping at your local discount department store like Wal-Mart. You can create your own accents and decorations just by using your imagination and some arts and crafts supplies. One of the most convenient things about throwing a wedding on a budget is that you can really be unique in doing it. In fact, the more creative that you get at times, the cheaper the whole thing can be. Doing a lot of the grunt work on your own can be a life saver.
Hobby shops and craft stores can be a great place to find cheap decorations and accessories. You can even find good bargains onquality decorations at dollar stores in your area. Dollar stores can give you items like glassware, fake flowers,balloons, streamers etc. You can find candles cheaper at them too. Why should you spend more for items that will only be used once andwill likely be thrown away afterward? Buying your bulk items wholesale is a great way to go too, and it canbe really cheap for the more expensive items. It is a surprise to find that discount stores and wholesalers can and will make special dealsfor weddings and receptions as many of them will require the purchase of many bulk items, depending on the size of your seremony. Just remember:
• Get deals on flowers• Get deals on catering• Get cheap decorating tips• Tips for hiring a DJ or music• Save money on bridesmaid gifts• Save money on photography
There are so many aspects to throwing a wedding that it can cost you an arm and a leg. Nobody wants to spend every dime that they haveon their wedding, yet they still want the best wedding that they canpossibly get. Just because you don’t have the money to be able to afford thefanciest of everything, you can still host the wedding of your dreams. People throw weddings on a budget every day.
