Not sure what HIP TIPZ is?  Please click on Our Introduction to find out more.  Now, let's get down to business -it's time to roll:

 

HIP TIPZ #191

Selling your home?  Try to find space to set up a home office if you don't have one already.  It's a great selling feature.

 

HIP TIPZ #192

Bring out one of your tall glass apothecary jars and place french stick loaves in it.  Place it on the kitchen counter when company's coming.  A very elegant display (and cheaper than flowers) ;-)

 

HIP TIPZ #193

Does your hanging light fixture need a facelift?  If it's outdated, change out the shade for a more contemporary drum style.

 

HIP TIPZ #194

Add more glam to your sofa by using down-filled throw pillows.  You'll also be able to get that "karate chop" just right with them too (if you know what I mean).

 

HIP TIPZ #195

Succulents planted in long, low planters make great "room dividers" on your patio.

I love the down filled pillows, and the karate chop cracks me up everytime I putting the finishing touches on the pillows on houses!  I wonder who started that look anyway??

Al & Peggy - Give it a try.  If your apothecary jar isn't that tall, you can buy "mini" baguettes that are about half the length of the full-size ones.  The taller ones make more of a statement though.

Cindy - I've often wondered too where that whole karate chop to the pillow thing started.  It does look good though.
