<div style="text-align: center;">
Painting your floor can be a great way to give your home an updated look without going overboard. It will add some serious brightness to your space and open up tons of new decor possibilities! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You also won't have to do damage control - if your floor becomes scuffed or develops marks, it takes on an awesome "washed out" look that everyone will love!<br />
<br />
White provides the perfect "blank canvas" for any space - you can use anything<br />
you want to bring the space to life! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you feel inspired!</div>

It's taken a bit of time and it's not finished yet, but I figured the website was now blog-post-worthy! It was time for some change and I am liking the lay out of the website a lot more now. You will have to let me know what you think of the changes! I know it's crazy different, but I like the vibe it has and I think it will work out great. Once it's completely finished, I will dedicate a post to the new look, but for now I just wanted to do a quick intro as to what would be coming up!<br />
<br />
Anyways, on to the good stuff!<br />
<br />
I was on <a href="http://www.bhg.com/" target="_blank">Better Homes&Gardens</a> website last week and saw a picture of a Christmas wreath made out of pine cones and I fell completely in love with it. It was so simple, but so gorgeous. Here's the picture:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.bhg.com/christmas/wreaths/pretty-christmas-wreaths/#page=11" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_mRiYu1HTXC80uhW71Sv_lwIjUw0VJ4z2YjCVnvJCvotBvQvEvpvQMUhwwLGlNAQ1LJc9bkrzxNQtBkp1RDCNhZegpGN8jj1IsQHIQl6JWrtAxZjM5oIhannWi5SfX8rLy_Hhiri3EYM/s1600/Christmas+Wreath+Pine+cones+and+birds.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
My first thought was "I can totally make that" - so here we are, making a wreath. Here's how you do it!</div>
<br />
<b>Step 1: Buy/Make a Pinecone Wreath</b><br />
I was lucky enough to find a pine cone wreath at winners that would work for what I needed. But if you can't find one, you can always get a styrofoam wreath ring and hot glue gun pine cones to it to make your wreath - that way you can make your wreath any size you want.<br />
<br />
<b>Step 2: Spray Paint</b><br />
The wreath in the picture above was covered in grey spray paint. I opted for a flat white spray paint for my wreath because the walls in my house are already grey and I didn't want the wreath to be totally lost against the background - you can use whatever works for you! Silver or a similar metallic colour would also work really well.<br />
<br />
<b>Note: If your wreath is made out of a styrofoam wreath ring, use a water based spray paint. The chemicals in regular spray paint tend to eat through styrofoam and cause it to disintegrate. I ran into this problem before and it was a total nightmare - not knowing the difference, I used regular spray paint on styrofoam and the project I was working on melted in seconds right in front of my face. I was totally rotted.</b><br />
<b>Now you can't say I didn't warn you.</b><br />
<br />
<b>Step 3: Place Your Ornaments</b><br />
Once the spray paint has dried, it's time to figure out where to place your ornaments on your wreath. I was able to find three red cardinals and some small red non-shattering christmas bulbs at <a href="http://www.michaels.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-MichaelsCanada-Site/default/Home-Show" target="_blank">Michaels</a> but I'm sure you could find them at any craft store around now where Christmas is in full swing.<br />
<br />
I used 4 red miniature bulbs and 5 red small bulbs. Before I attached the ornaments, I laid the wreath down flat on a table and placed the ornaments so that I could decide where I wanted to position all the pieces. Once I was happy with the look I used a hot glue gun to stick the pieces on.<br />
<br />
Here is a picture of my final result!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you all enjoy the wreath as much as I do!</div>

First off, I have to apologize for my long hiatus. I could go into the descriptive details, but it basically comes down to this - life happens and here we are. Big things have happened - I am engaged to the most wonderful person I know and we have built a beautiful house that I am incredibly proud of (pictures will come soon!). I am planning to not having a massive blog break again - I'd like to get my blog back up and running the way it previously was! Let's see how I do!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
SO. We need to get this blog train back on its tracks - I have decided that in honour of it being November 5, I would like to do a pre-Christmas post. You can complain all you like, but I wanted to blog about something that means a lot to me. Christmas means a lot to me. Also - if I wait too long to do Christmas posts, there isn't enough time for you all to execute some awesome Christmas ideas. So really I'm doing you a favour. You're welcome.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I hope this makes all the Christmas lovers smile and all the "it can't seriously be Christmas yet" talkers appreciate the wonderful awesomeness that Christmas has to offer.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Whether your style is traditional, contemporary, or somewhere in between, the front entrance of your home has a huge impact on visitors, friends&family, or the post man dropping of your mail everyday. It's the first impression someone has before entering your home - celebrate Christmas with style by accentuating your home's most complimentary features! Check out the images below and see if you're inspired to decorate in a way that will work best for your home!</div>

Since we are currently in the midst of a thunderstorm in St. John's, I started to think about some of the other things about summer that I love...figured I'd share!</div>

A while back I did a blog post on <a href="http://acolourfullife-meg.blogspot.ca/2011/02/nest-rest.html" target="_blank">The Nest Rest</a> - which was an outdoor seat designed by Daniel Pouzet and Fred Frety with the German manufacturer called <a href="http://www.dedon.de/en/">Dedon</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Daniel Pouzet has teamed up again with Dedon to create a new piece of furniture called the Swingrest! And I've got to say...I wouldn't mind having one. Based on the original design on the Nest Rest, the Swingrest is designed to provide a more open feeling and it also sits a few extra people. It also has a small Corian tabletop, which adds a place for you to lay your drinks (which I think is a nice touch!) It looks like ultimate comfort!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Take a look and see what you think!</div>

Recently I was looking out for some birthday decor ideas and I came across some pretty cute ideas! So naturally (as always) I felt like I had to share!

It's time for a request blog! My lovely friend Mary just moved into a new apartment and she me to dedicate a blog to decorating your place without painting!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know this is a problem that lots of people have when they move into a new place and there are restrictions to how you are allowed to decorate your new home. But you do have the right to make your new space your own. It's important to feel comfortable and add your own character to your place and there are lots of ways to do this without getting out the paint buckets! So I found some great ways to get around the issue of not being allowed to add paint to your walls! I hope the pictures below give you some insight and that they help you along in your decorating adventures!</div>

I found this rug at Ikea and I think it's pretty great! It's bright and colourful and could bring life to any space. If you want to liven up a white space, you need to find accessories that are going to add contrast to the area. This rug is a great example of that because it will bring the focus away from your bare white walls and everyone will be looking at your awesome new rug! Ikea has other rugs as well that would be great for filling in a white space - check out this link: <a href="http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/categories/departments/Textiles/10653/?pageNumber=0">Ikea Rugs</a></div>

This photo is a great example of how you need to try and find accessories for your space that add life and character. Look for bold colours and patterns that are going to take the emphasis away from all the white. Remember window treatments are very important! They add a lot more to a room than people give them credit for! I love the colour of the window treatments in this photo - the matching lamp brings the whole look together. </div>

I'm a huge fan of ottomans. They have so many functions and I love it!! Storage, coffee table, foot stool, extra seating - and they come in so many colours!! They're a fun and convenient addition to any room.</div>

I think this idea is a little bit of genius. I know it's not an option for some people but it's looks pretty neat when it's finished! I've seen this done with ribbon (like in this picture) and I've also seen it done with masking tape (which might be easier in terms of not having to put holes in the walls) You can get masking tape that has different patterns and colours which could be super fun to mess around with. </div>

I love the look of exposed brick. There's a classic richness to it that I find authentic, yet refreshing. Whether designing a house or whether it's forced on you by an existing home, most people don't consider exposed brick. I find it adds endless amounts of character to any setting and creates lots of design inspiration. There are other options for exposed brick as well - in a lot of cases, people choose to paint over it, which gives the wall the brick texture but blends the colour into whatever is going on with the rest of the room. It's all about your design tastes!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've come across a lot of examples of amazing exposed brick, so I picked out a few of my favorites and I posted them below! Enjoy!</div>

I always love a big spacious bathroom. I suppose it's because bathrooms are usually designed to be small and compact, so when you walk into a roomy bathroom it's a welcoming change. And being a girl probably has something to do with it as well...I like having room for my stuff, okay?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you're like me and enjoy a big bathroom but you don't have a lot of space for it, you can always make some changes so that the room appears to be much bigger than it actually is - stick to shades of white and neutrals for the walls, cabinets, bathtub, toilet, etc. This will help your situation more than you realize. If every aspect of your bathroom appears clean and crisp, it will make the viewer believe there is more space than there actually is. Darker wall colours in a bathroom can close off the room and make it feel gloomy and uninviting - especially if you have a bathroom with a small window, or no window at all. You can always liven up your bathroom by using colourful accessories and furniture - there's so many fun bathroom options available these days in terms of textures, patterns, etc so you shouldn't have trouble finding some awesome goodies!</div>

Who knew that a jar used to pickle vegetables could turn into such a vital piece of decorating awesomeness. People are becoming more and more creative about how these little jars can be used - flower pots, lanterns, organizational tools, candy jars....the possibilities are endless.<br />
<br />
Everybody seems to be developing mason jar madness - as am I. Therefore this blog post is dedicated to the mason jar and all of it's wondrous uses that I constantly fall in love with and am equally impressed by!<br />

Here's a cute idea for some quick Valentine's Day garland! The picture to the left gives you step by step instructions on how to make it:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Get some construction paper and cut the paper into strips.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
2. Take two strips and staple the ends of one side together.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
3. Bend the strips in the opposite direction of each other so that they create a heart shape. Then take two more strips and staple all four ends of the papers together.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
4. For the rest of the garland you just rinse and repeat! Keep repeating all the first three steps until you want to end the garland and then just staple the end together!<br />

Awesome decorations made from out necklaces! I love this idea. This way you won't feel totally crushed when one of your favorite necklaces fall apart - all you need is a Styrofoam ball from the craft store and some push pins. String the beads onto the pins, dab the tip of each pin with a hot glue gun and then push them into the Styrofoam. Voila! </div>

In situations such as this, everybody tries to find the best way to brave the elements and stay as warm as possible.<br />
<br />
Therefore, this Sunday blog is dedicated to fireplaces - whether your style is contemporary, traditional, modern, urban, etc there will always be a fireplace out there to suite your taste. Of course, they will always remain your best friend after shoveling outside in the freezing cold for hours and they're pretty awesome to look at!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope these pictures make you feel a little warmer!</div>

Living in Newfoundland, you see a lot of unique front doors. I love looking at what people do with their front doors! You can do so many creative things - and since it's the first thing a person sees before they enter your house, you should try and make it memorable! Colour, decor, door hardware, etc..these are all things that can be used to impact the look of your door. Check out these front doors </div>

<br />
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season! Sorry I have been MIA lately on the blog posts - vacationing, finishing school, and Christmas took over my life all at once so I had to cut back for a little while.<br />
<br />
But I have returned! and I should be able to get things back to normal now. I have a lot of awesome new stuff to share with you guys so I hope you all stick with me!<br />
<br />
Okay, enough babble. Onto the good stuff!<br /><br /><br />

So if you're anything like me, I always feel depressed when I take down my Christmas decorations. This is partially because I have a huge love for Christmas, but the other reason is that I always find my house looks naked when all the decorations are put away. So I thought it might be a cool idea to research some good ways of decorating your house for winter, just to keep things looking awesome in your home! Here are some ideas I came across:<br />

I'm sure by now you've all heard of my twinkle lights obsession so I'll be looking for any excuse to keep them out. Just take a vase of any shape and fill it up with any type of cones you like - the twinkle lights will add a bit of dimension and the icicles add a little sparkle! You should be able to find plastic icicles at any dollar store or Christmas decor shop.</span></td></tr>

I haven't done any crafts with Epsom salt yet, but I love the look of these bottles so I may have to give it a try! I'll give a quick overview on how to do it, and if you're interested than you can click the blog link above to see how it's done in greater detail. Take three wine bottles (any shape), spray with primer. After they have dried, spray the bottles with craft bond spray adhesive and roll in Epsom salt (you can find it in any drug store) while the glue is tacky. Now you've got yourself a new table centerpiece!</div>

I love the natural beauty white can bring to any environment - it's one of the reasons I love winter. Everything looks so beautiful. So why not bring that beauty inside to your dining table? Decorate your dining table in whites, silvers, and clears - and why not add a snowflake or two? Everything will look beautiful, clean, and inviting.</div>

I love the look of feather wreaths...they look so classy. I found this one at West Elm, but it's quite simple to make a feather wreath yourself. You can find a wreath frame at any craft store and feather boas work perfectly to complete the wreath - you should be able to find feather boas at any craft store or dollar store. Just wrap the feather boa around the frame and secure with twist ties and you're good to go!</div>

And we're back to the twinkle lights again..haha A lot of people buy hanging wicker flower baskets during the summer and then put them away for the winter. Don't move so fast! You can do some awesome stuff with those during the winter time! Look how beautiful the baskets look in the picture above! You could do that too! Line the inside of the baskets with twinkle lights and place anything silvery inside them. They'll look beautiful when snow falls on them!</div>

Finally, if you have an old frame lying around that you're trying to figure out to do with - I may have a solution for you. A lot of people have black boards in their home - if you don't, you can usually find them at any office supply store. Write your winter message on your black board and place it behind the frame! It's an awesome conversation piece, wherever you choose to place it!</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In honour of the October festivities, I wanted to give you guys some ideas for decorating one part of your house that becomes very important this time of the year - the front door.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Between Thanksgiving and Halloween this month there are going to be lots of people knocking on your front door, so why not try to make the main entrance just as appealing as the inside! Especially for the little kiddies who will appear looking for candy! So holiday up and get into some decorating!<br />
<br />
Check out these photos!</div>

<br />
A lot of people end up moving away for university and staying on campus in student dorms. There are also others who just want independence and move out of the family home and into an apartment or house with roommates. I know student budgets in terms of room decor are usually small or nonexistent, but it is important for students to have a sense of ownership to their space - small or large, shared or not shared.<br />
<br />
So in honour of the student life peoples out there, I have come up with a blog about simple and cheap decorating ideas for dorm rooms/rooms that I hope will come in handy when trying to conquer your new space!<br />
<br />
<b>Step 1: Bed Basics</b><br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrv1Xq0BnFGFLP-FIADJiPuIY6aCX2RtVuHbaUUWiM6E9Ra8cDlHdKPCGiaaqKa4b2wfzvvR8ey4sO1qv6UFMAPYIWW0NvoUZMlm_Zvj9HkMkHvaINV0rEIcBCh2zmh6rsoNvsA5Cfb4c/s1600/Renate+Blom+-+Ikea.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrv1Xq0BnFGFLP-FIADJiPuIY6aCX2RtVuHbaUUWiM6E9Ra8cDlHdKPCGiaaqKa4b2wfzvvR8ey4sO1qv6UFMAPYIWW0NvoUZMlm_Zvj9HkMkHvaINV0rEIcBCh2zmh6rsoNvsA5Cfb4c/s320/Renate+Blom+-+Ikea.jpg" width="211" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I found this super cute duvet and <br />pillow cover set at Ikea. It's called <br />"Renate Blom" and is priced at $24.99 for <br />a twin set.

When looking for a bed comforter, there's a lot of things you need to consider. A student's bed usually ends up having a lot of functions - sleeping, study area, hang out spot, coffee table, etc...therefore you need to attempt to find a comforter for your bed that is not going to instantly pick up a lot of visible dirt. You also need to remember that your bed is the biggest piece of furniture in your room, so it quickly determines the style of your living space.<br />
<br />
Solid coloured comforters work really well for dorm rooms because you can jazz them up or down with fun pillows, throw blankets, and bed sheets. Reversible comforters are also fun also because they offer twice as much style choices and you can change everything around when you get bored of your current look.<br />
<br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<b>Step 2: Dealing with the Roomie</b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
I realize that while trying to make your new home your own, students are not always handed huge amounts in the space department. And in a lot of cases there is other issues to deal with, which usually come in the form of a roommate. In other words, everything has to be divided in half. Even if the two of you get along famously, you're still going to have times when you need your own space.<br />
<br />
I'll address the "I have a roommate" people first - for those of you who do not have the roommate situation, please proceed to Step 3.<br />
<br />
Now, here are a few sneaky ways to create much needed, yet subtle barriers between you and your new friend person.<br />
<br />
1.<b> Face your bed in the opposite direction.</b><br />
I know this does not seem like a life altering change, but think of it as a small, yet effective buffer.<br />
<br />
2. <b>Place a cabinet or bookcase between the beds.</b><br />
Depending on what size furniture you choose, this can help define specifically who owns what side of the room. Small room dividers or curtains can also come in handy for this kind of thing as well, depending on your preference and how much privacy you require.<br />
<br />
3. <b>Decide together what the layout of the room should be.</b><br />
Sometimes this idea works - sometimes it doesn't. But if the two of you work together you can effectively find a way to make the room functional and enjoyable for the both of you!<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Step 3: Organization/Storage</b><br />
<br />
Ahhh space....how little you are...<br />
<br />
There is a bajillion ways to tackle the storage issues in smallville, but I'll just stick to the main ones that seem to be most handy to the greater population of studentland,<br />
<br />
1. <b>Crates, Crates, Crates.</b><br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; text-align: right;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj92t97S87LRXEk_ttu4DeBKu_LoZN4FxfWtFLNWMSAc73lsNbMRDEnD51jnkRUygMzjWDjoJzk9En6hu8nT9JVi2az93FtCmelHHybKwy-y8JAXUEZQ1xIsmiJP88vrlbsRRGLyoYDBOI/s1600/Dairy_Crates_a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj92t97S87LRXEk_ttu4DeBKu_LoZN4FxfWtFLNWMSAc73lsNbMRDEnD51jnkRUygMzjWDjoJzk9En6hu8nT9JVi2az93FtCmelHHybKwy-y8JAXUEZQ1xIsmiJP88vrlbsRRGLyoYDBOI/s200/Dairy_Crates_a.jpg" width="200" /></a></td></tr>

I cannot tell you how many people are a fan of the milk crates - it's a tad wild. Why are they so popular? Why because they pile on top of each other like awesome lego blocks - that's why. You can fill them with all your goods (and label them of course) and then build a crate castle! How can you say no to that? I can't.<br />
<br />
2. <b>Raise the Bed</b><br />
Putting bed risers under your bed always seems to work very well if you`re trying to find ways to create extra storage space. Raising your bed off the ground can give lots of space for storing containers, crates, etc.<br />
<br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

3. <b>Multi-Purpose Furniture</b><br />
There's a lot of furniture out there that has storage purposes as well as their main function. Ottomans, for instance, can be used for storage, an end table, and extra seating if needed!<br />
<br />
4. <b>Handy Items to Pick-Up</b><br />
There are always handy organizations items that you can find at any store. Closet organizers, plastic wall hooks, memo boards, laundry bags, etc.<br />
<br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<b>Step 4: Time to Decorate! (my favorite part)</b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
There are lots of great ways to make sure your new digs have some lovely decor! Your decorations should be simple and effective - which can be done for quite cheap! Most universities have rules on what you can put on the walls of dorm rooms - so you'll have to check that out before you go ahead with your design plan. Here are some ideas:<br />
<br />
1. <b>Wall Decals</b><br />
They're getting pretty popular and the designs you can get are endless! Also - they peel right off the wall when you're finished with them and you can move them around the room! You can find usually find them in any dollar store.<br />
<br />
2. <b>Lighting</b><br />
There's some great ideas you can get in the lighting department! Funky lamps, decorative lighting, twinkle lights, etc.. You can always use twinkle lighting and string them around the room for some extra mood lighting! They look really cute too!<br />
<br />
3. <b>Picture Frames</b><br />

Make sure you've got your picture frames! Yes, this one is a given but it's always important to have your family and friends with you at all times - whether in person or in a picture. You always need to remember that they're a phone call away, and your pictures can help you do that! Why not find funky frames to match your room? Or maybe pull a DIY and decorate the frames yourself!<br />
<br />
4. <b>Colour Co-ordination</b><br />
Try to pick out decor for your room that will match what you have going on with the rest of the space. Curtains, lamps, posters, bed linens, garbage bins, blankets, etc...can all be colour coordinated to match each other!<br />
<br />
5. <b>Extra Decor</b><br />
There are lots of extra items you can add to your room to give it an extra punch of pzazz:<br />

<li>Rug - Colour for your floor! It also keeps your feet warm when you have to get up extra early!</li>
<li>Clothes Line - Add suction cups to each end of the line and drape it from your walls! Use it to hang photos, ticket stubs, decorations, etc. You can also use it to hang your wet laundry when the dryers are all being used in the laundry room! Crafty, yeah?</li>
<li>Chinese Lanterns - These great ornaments add awesome punches of colour to your room! You can also hang them high enough that they won't be in your way when you're trying to maneuver around your room.</li>

If you want to stay in a hotel that you know you will never forget - you might want to check this place out. They have regular hotel rooms that would be featured in any hotel - but they also have hotel rooms that feature huts and caravans within them for those of us who want to go camping but do not consider nature to be their best friend. You definitely need to check out the pictures below. It's pretty darn cool.<br />

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Looking for some great ideas to incorporate fall into your home? It's time to make a curtain rod out of a tree branch! I came across this cute idea that anyone can do and there's not much work to it at all! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just get a branch that's slightly longer than you window trim. You can spray paint the branch or just leave it natural - depending on what kind of look you think you suit the room. If you are planning to spray paint the branch, I would suggest covering it in a clear coat when you're finished to protect the spray paint. Tie top curtains or curtains that have wide curtain rod loops work best for this for fitting on the branch to finish off the look! </div>

And she wasn't lying - they're pretty awesome.<br />
<br />
Based on the Northern lights, these Moving Colour Tiles appear black at room temperature, but move through the colour spectrum when the temperature changes in the shower. The tiles rely on heat to create the sensation that the colours are moving. You can get different types of tiles depending on your personal style and preference!<br />
<br />
