Indoor Tropical Paradise With Hawaiian Bedroom Decor

Author: Yuri // Category: , , , ,

Year-round summer and nonstop tropical bliss can be achieved with Hawaiian bedroom décor. With a little creativity and resourcefulness, you will be able to set your own bedroom into one Pacific paradise. Just choose your favorite Hawaiian items to fully enjoy the comforts of a well-deserved vacation right in your home.

First, prepare your walls by installing grass cloth or textured wallpaper. You may also paint the wall yourself which resembles a woven texture. Pick one or two more walls wherein you can paint a mural or place wallpaper depicting a beach and ocean scenery. It is ideal to paint your ceiling blue as well or have a design that resembles forming clouds on a sunny day. Place a wooden ceiling fan preferably one with a mesh design.

Commercial carpets have tighter weaving compared to others. Choose light colors that resemble sand like beige, light yellow or cream. Sisal floor covering is also good. Add flower shaped throw rugs and throw pillows with floral designs and set them carefully on the carpet. The idea is to have people stay on the carpet as if you're all basking on the beach.

If you chance upon bamboo mats and window shades, invest in these and place them where you want in your bedroom. Accessorize with plastic hibiscus and vines for a more dramatic effect. There are also Hawaiian fabrics available that already have tropical designs and bright colors. You may place these under throw pillows or as drapes on the windows.

You can simply glue reeds of bamboo all over tables, chairs and room dividers to create a Hawaiian feel. There are custom-made beds resembling a canoe or surfboard. Quilts with sunflower and fish designs are perfect for these. Pillows and blankets are supposed to sport bright colors as well. You can freely hang one or two towels over bedroom dividers as accents.

Set tiki torches on all corners of the bedroom. These are not supposed to be lighted but generally serve as decors. As for lighting, yellow ceiling lights are good. Make sure there is enough light to make the entire room seem bright. Bamboo shutters drawn during the day should allow enough sunlight to fill the bedroom. Tiki lamps are also optional place on bedside counters.

Other designs perfect for your Hawaiian bedroom theme would be flamingos, geckos and pineapples. Try to find decors that have these designs and set them on top of dressers, tables and wooden chests.

Author: Yuri // Category: , , , ,

Many dog owners don't consider that harmless little house and garden plants may be a potential source of danger to your dog or puppy. Usually poisonous plants are more deadly to small puppies, but some plants, even in small amounts, can be toxic to dogs of any size. By taking the time to understand the various plants and their levels of toxicity for dogs you can avoid costly vet bills and even more serious conditions.

Depending on the type of plant either the leaves, stems, bark, roots or fruit can be toxic. Some plants are only toxic at various times in their growth stage whereas others are always poisonous.

Fencing the garden area or monitoring if the dog is actually eating the plants within the garden is important. When in doubt completely isolating the garden from the area the dog is kept is a great idea.

Everyone loves to have their yard area looking great, but not at the expense of his or her animals becoming ill.

Caring For An Indoor Fruit Tree

If you are concerned these trees will be high maintenance, don't worry. They are actually quite hardy and apapt well to almost any environment.

The key is giving them enough sunlight. Place them in an area where they will get about six hours of sunlight per day, preferably a southern or western exposure.

Water your tree once a week or when the soil is on the dry side of moist. Also, since fruit trees in general like humid conditions, mist them with tepid water from a spray bottle two or three times weekly.

Although it's not required, these trees will enjoy being outdoors in the warm summer months. A patio or balcony is a perfect spot. Most of these varieties are self pollinating but being outdoors will let bees and other insects do the job.

Here are ten varieties of indoor fruit trees for your home...

Meyer Lemon

This is perhaps the most popular variety. This tree will top out at about four feet and produce lemons that are sweeter than those you will find at the grocery store, and just about the same size too.

Key Lime

Topping out at three feet or so, this tree produces two crops per year of small, tart key limes, perfect for recipes and to add to drinks.

Dwarf Orange

Several varieties of dwarf orange trees are available, including blood oranges, navel, and juice oranges. Most are seedless and we find the oranges to be sweeter than those you can buy.

Tangerine

This tree tops out at four feet and is quite prolific. We particularly like the lush green foliage and the natural, tropical scent from the blossoms.

Pomegranate

With pomegranates all the rage for their numerous health benefits, it was just a matter of time before an indoor pomegranate tree became available. It produces fruit the same size as normal pomegranates, with a softer, juicier, and sweeter flesh.

Citrus Three In One

If you can't decide which tree or trees you want, try this variety. It produces lemons, oranges, and tangerines all on one tree! It tops off at four feet and the fruit is full sized.

Grapefruit

The grapefruit from this tree is slightly smaller, with a pinkish flesh. The fruit is seedless and less tart than traditional grapefruit.

Dwarf Banana

This fast growing specimen will grow five to six feet tall and produce six inch bananas within two years. The tree has big, deep green textured leaves which really adds an element of the tropics to your home.

Pineapple

This drought resistant small tree bears pineapples that are more fleshy, without the woody center of store bought pineapples.
