"Why aren't Mexicans ever indecisive?

We're excited to share our progress photos of client's factory roof, which has now been restored.

Let us know what you think.

We apologize in advance for any earworms you may get from this but, as Boys II Men once famously put it "we've come to the end of the road"

The final TIP in our series reaffirms that we are all different in our taste, style, interests and so on... So TIP no. 10 is "Do what feels RIGHT!"

A well created feature wall gives any room that extra wow factor, so it can be quite difficult to choose what to do and where to start!

Go bold or go subtle?

Wallpaper, paint or paneling?

In essence there is no wrong or right way to create a feature wall.

A feature wall is an expression of your personality. Its a way to set your house apart and should be created in a way that you feel comfortable with.

Feature walls can be as simple as adding a piece of artwork or sophisticated with intricate design and layers of patterns.

Either way we encourage you to do what feels right, feels good and is within your budget.

Hey Ladies and Gent

Did you know that there are more than 27 different types of clocks? As a matter of fact there are 28 known to date from analog to digital and everything in between.

Christopher Huygens is hailed for inventing the first clock but before the clock we had other ways of telling the time, the earliest device being the sundial (which was a sun-powered clock). There was even an advanced version of the sundial that used shadows to give the hour of the day dated all the way back to 1500 BC in Egypt.

But we can blab on about clock facts all day, but to save time, lets move on to our TIP.

Tip no.9 which unsurprisingly is called "What's the time?"

Clocks don't necessarily need to be displayed for practical purposes ONLY...

Clocks can be beautiful too! Think of the old antique grandfather clock. Think of Big Ben, which is a monumental watch tower at the north end of the Westminster Palace in London.

You can also use them to create a bold feature wall statement.

By choosing an oversized clock design you can create a distinctive focal point for ANY room!

A picture is worth a thousand words BUT a memory is priceless! Sharing our experiences is how we connect and relate to one another.

They also make for a great feature wall, which intentionally brings us to TIP no. 8 Gallery of Snaps

We often fail to capture the special "moments" in life, only realizing what they were afterwards, but when we do they're worth cherishing and why not reminisce by having them on display for all to see on your accent wall.

When it comes to family there's no bad photo, in fact the "bad ones" often make for the best stories or tickle ribs. So create your own collage OR gallery of snaps and its bound to fill your house with more laughter and love.

Mix and match with different frames, shapes and sizes, styles, etc.

And remember to "measure 2x and drill 1x" 😉

All the best from all of us at Cozy Home Painting and Decor

Good evening Ladies & Gents

We've taken a 5 day hiatus from our SERIES 10 Tips, and you know what? We really missed sharing our awesome insights with YOU!

So we're back and we're on a mission to complete the final 4 Tips! Starting with Tip no. 7 - Go bar, Go rustic

It's hard to find time to think these days, our lives are full of things to do, people to meet, places to see and that's just the "tip of the ice burg"...

So with such a busy life one can see the appeal of having a less cluttered , almost-naked space in which one can think, breath and just be!

That's what we're talking about with this Tip!

The rustic look that evokes sense of nostalgia, going back to simpler time. Peeling off the plasterwork to expose the face brick underneath is the perfect way to add character to your feature wall!

Pssst. Yes you! This look, with the open face brick, its especially aesthetically pleasing to the eye in the kitchen area.

It also goes well with industrial furniture and accessories.

Good morning "Cozy Homies"

Today we are going to be talking about PATCHWORK and the beauty there is blending patterns that would NOT "ordinarily" fit together.

But what is ordinary? And who wants that to be said of them or their feature wall?

Margaret Sanger once said "As I look back on my life, I see that every part of it was preparation for the next. The most trivial of incidents fits into the larger pattern like a mosaic in a preconceived design".

Kintsugi or Kintsukuroi is the Japanese way of honoring and repairing broken ceramic objects with a special lacquer mixed with silver, gold or platinum. It creates a beautiful, unique, one-time piece that is defined by its flaws, the cracks and imperfections embraced and its purpose restored with the pattern a reminder and reflection of our imperfection.

So with that these in mind we look at TIP no. 6 PATCHWORK

There are so many variations of designs and mediums that can be used for Patchwork. From quilts to mosaics, fabrics to tiles, we see that there modern and there are also "old-school" styles like Boho that are making their way back into trending takes on accent walls.

Mosaics come in a number of different types, 7 of the most popular are listed below:

1. Stone Mosaics.
2. Glass Mosaics.
3. Medallions and Murals.
4. Etched Stone.
5. Hand Painted Stone.
6. Stone Tile.
7. Waterjet Mosaics.

All of which, can be used throughout your home. From your kitchen to your bathroom they can be used to create patchwork designs with different patterns, textures and sizes.

IF you looking for a Boho look then go ahead and create a patchwork feature wall. Using different fabrics, and colours, designs and patterns you can blend the perfect patchwork piece.

A DIY tip, fabric can be wrapped around sturdy cardboard or thin plastic squares and fixed to the wall using mounting tape. Be sure measure first and set your border/parameters before you start laying the tiles down.

We got a spare set of hands and we'd be excited to be help you with your patchwork project.

Howdy partner

"Tree-huggers", we understand and we love nature too, but you might want to look away for this one you hear.

When it comes to wood where do we start? Well there are number of varieties of wood, we'll categorize these into 3 basic types, each with a number of uses. These three types are: softwoods, hardwoods, and engineered woods.

Softwoods:
This is wood milled from conifer trees. Scientifically known as
Gymnosperms, Conifer trees are any trees which have needles and produce cones. E.g. of popular softwood trees used in woodworking, construction, and furniture are Pine, Cedar, Fir, Spruce, and Redwood.

Hardwoods:
This comes from any tree which does not produce needles or cones. These trees are most commonly are known as deciduous trees, more scientifically known as angiosperms. Hardwoods are trees which produces leaves and seeds.

Common hardwood species include oak, maple, cherry, mahogany, and walnut. Hardwood species are not always necessarily stronger than softwoods, but many species are well known for their beautiful and distinct wood grain patterns.

Engineered/Manufactured Wood:
The third type of wood you may encounter are engineered woods. Engineered wood does not occur naturally in the environment but instead are manufactured.

Popular examples of engineered woods include Plywood, Oriented Strand Board, Medium Density Fiber Board, and Composite Board.

Now that we've covered the basics all things woody, lets look at Step no. 5: Paneled Perfection.

Not too fond of colour and wallpaper? How about creating a unique feature wall with wooden panels?

This will give your room an outdoorsy rustic look.

You can use wooden paneling to emphasize key areas of a room, such as a wall behind your bed OR your favorite reading nook.

There are different styles that are brought to the fore, the palette look for the more traditional or experiment with wider planks in grey tones for a more modern look.

The styles, patterns and wood types that you use as well as the sizes and even the varnish will give you a range of ranch-flavored panels. Yeeh-haah

Now ma'am if you need any more advice or you need some professionals to come in and set you up, we have a "hog-killin' time with wood panels
