Home Design Suite

Many home design styles have evolved over the years and some are more popular than others. Keep-in-mind that design styles can also be trendy styles. This means that any particular trend can become obsolete in a short period of time. Consider this when choosing styles. Do you want to go out and purchase new styles when the old ones fade? Be sure you really like a particular style before purchasing.

Of course; many people like the home design styles for their look and feeling it gives a room. So, what design style should you choose when decorating your home?

That depends upon your own personal preferences. What do you like when choosing decorating items? Do you like painted furniture, American flags, soft and cozy? There are design styles which will fit your type of home. Look around and see what items you already have displayed.

If you are just starting out, it would be a good idea to go on-line or visit the library to see all the design styles available. Of course, your furniture choices could help with that decision.

Are your furnishings modern, traditional, contemporary or tropical? If so, then you are already tuned into a specific design style. Some styles fit specific regions of the U.S. Coastal areas use the nautical themes while those in the mountains and higher elevations prefer the ‘lodge’ themes.

Are you a world traveler? Or do you like foreign destinations? There are many styles that will fit your ideas. There are Moroccan, Tuscan and other exotic themes for you. These themes can bring the far away destinations right into your home without leaving the room.

Have you ever played hide and go seek? Of course you have. Have you ever done it in a ghillie suit? I bet you haven’t! If you still like playing the game, as an adult of all things, you should try the ultimate hide and go seek challenge ever. I mean ever. We hold local competitions and have trained trackers and hunters try to find the competitors. The last one found is the winner, and usually we all chip in a few dollars, so the prize becomes at least 100 bucks or more. The rules of the game are that you must make your ghillie suit from scratch, and it must be inspected beforehand. That’s right, you have to make a home made ghillie suit, and then it will be looked at. Of course there’s a separate round for those who bought ghillie suit kits or whole ghillie suits, however the home made ghillie suit gets the most respect because of the time and effort put into it.

The round starts with an inspection of our local ghillie suit master, who is coincidentally also a tracker in one of the rounds, since he seems to find everyone. After the home made ghillie suits are inspected everyone fans out into a small wooded area, and by small I mean you can see through it almost, and if you walk halfway through it you can see the houses on the other side. The tracker for the event must turn around and be blindfolded and wear an old welders helmet. That way he has no advantage. After ten minutes the helmet comes off, and he can start tracking and trying to find the home made ghillie suits.

Usually what will give people away are their own emotions, because they get giddy or start breathing harder. I pad my home made ghillie suit to hide my breathing, and I also keep my breathing normal to shallow, as I close my eyes and just wait. I kind of meditate in my ghillie suit, while the tracker goes around. The last time I was able to come out in the top three, being found only after he accidentally stepped on me - which hurt. Otherwise he would have never found me in my home made ghillie suit.
