Creating
atmosphere

f you are looking for an inexpensive way to
update the look of your home, try reacces-
sorizing.

Instead of dropping a whole lot of cash on new furni-
ture, wall or window treatments, a few well-placed cush-
ions, eye-catching picture frames or unusual candles can
add atmosphere to a tired room.

Even better, if you are going for a major redesign, why
not go for a soft, neutral background (furniture and walls)

, and add splashes of color, elegance or fun with accessories.
= Bright, clear colors, animal prints and textures are all on
