			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>1. Planning works -</strong> You cannot do everything at one time, but doing things systematically helps a lot especially when thinking for home improvement. So planning before acting upon your home decor, should be your first step. However, enjoying your home renovation has to be your first priority.</p>
<p><strong>2. Walls touch-ups -</strong> If you have already planned about your new home decoration, then also add some entertainment in your decoration. Only simple touch- ups to other rooms of your home will make big difference. And hopefully your home improvement can get a lively feel.</p>
<p> <br />
<strong>3. Dim your lights -</strong> Easy to access, inexpensive Dim lights can actually bring ambiance and smoothness at your home interiors. Plug-in dimmers for lamps are good option for home decoration. You can find them at any hardware store.</p>
<p><strong>4. Be innovative</strong> &#8211; Creativity is the key when thinking for new home decorations. Inexpensive, colourful wallpapers can make an interesting display for your walls. Use some nice ribbon, markers, pens or glitter and draw a pattern on the paper for a striking display and this will surely add an edge in your new home interiors.</p>
<p> <br />
<strong>5. Inexpensive decor items -</strong> Search for decent stores where you can buy decor ornaments at discount. Elegant and authentic home decor items can give that “wow” factor in your home decoration.</p>
<p><strong>6. Emphasis on drawing room</strong> &#8211; Living room or drawing room holds a great importance of your home decor. Light sofas, unique home decor ornaments with some nice paintings will add authenticity in your living room.</p>
<p> <br />
<strong>7. Less is good -</strong> Less is always good. Overdoing of anything can make your home decoration worst. Too much decoration can distract attention, so always go for light and less things, which can add beauty in your home renovation.</p>
<p><strong>8. Home care with family -</strong> Involving every family person for home improvement can add new ideas. Don’t do it all by your own, what if your kids will not like new home decor that you have done for them. So let the kids do some creativity with their room. And it will surely add memories in your new Home Decoration.</p>
<p><strong>9. Plan a party -</strong> After all your decorations have completed, and you want to show your decor to your neighbours then, off course you are going to blow a party right? Then, it’s the time to arrange some little gifts for your guest, and your party guest will be thrilled to receive a unique gift from you.</p>
<p><strong>10. Last but not the least it’s time to have fun -</strong> Take a deep breath and enjoy your new home design. After all, you have worked hard for your home improvement and maintenance and actually have done a tremendous job.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well usually during our Home improvement, renovation, house maintenance and repair work, we do not give much priority to our bathrooms, but bathroom is an essential part of our house and it has to be taken care of pretty well.

<p>2.    Once you are done with your color selection and criteria than you should clean the counter top with the help of warm soap water, wipe it and clean it with a soft cloth or a duster.</p>
<p>3.    After Above step, you should sand the counter very lightly with sand paper and clean it with a damp cloth.</p>
<p>4.    Once you’re done with light sand surface, you should prime the counter with acrylic primer and let it be like that for around 20-30 minutes, because that will help the color or paint to stick on it pretty easily.</p>
