Interactive Design, Home, Style and Family Blog

The aim of this website is to create an interactive experience for the readers so that while you are looking at ideas for ways to make your home and life beautiful and stylish (without breaking the bank) you can click on shopping carts or prompts to look at prices of items or at other products available from the suppliers.

If you like shopping around for ideas, comparing products and prices this feature will interest you.
I have compiled a collection of online shopping (or window shopping) options for my readers.

Throughout the Life and Style on a Dime blog you will notice moving adds. These have been specifically selected by Adsense to offer ever changing products, sales and specials that might appeal to a 'Life and Style on a Dime reader'.  Keep a eye on them as there are often some very good online special offers.

Many of the photographs of beautiful interiors, gardens and and fashion in my blog have been linked to my Luminate sponser. Luminate allows you to search for similar products to those featured in the photograph.

You also have the option to click on the shopping carts that I have set up on the photos. I have created specially selected shopping carts containing items that I know you will love that are similar to those featured in the articles and photographs.

Google Affiliates
These are a fantastic collection of sponsors links that allow me to hand select products for my readers. Throughout my articles you will find images of products that are for sale. Where possible I have tried to select suppliers that ship to Australia and various other countries, most suppliers deliver in the USA. The range of products available are astounding and I will endeavor to find the most unique and interesting ones that complement my articles and help you find the home, style, garden and family products you are looking for.

Define your Style

Many people are unsure of exactly what their style is. In this blog post I have a beautiful collection of my favourite interiors.These photographs depict 'my style'.

When it comes to decorating your home or landscaping your garden it is really important that you take the time to establish what your natural style is before you go about investing in furniture, renovations and landscaping. Being sure about your style will make the big decisions about what to skimp on and what splurge on  much easier.

Before outlaying any money you want to be very sure you will be happy with your decisions long term.

After decades of having my home decor and purchases described as 'Priscillaish' I finally understand my style, clearly my friends and family were able to pinpoint my style more easily than I could myself.

I think most people find this. It can often be easier to know someone elses style than your own.
I have seen some beautiful renovations, and have marveled at the bathroom, dining room and living room designs of my friends and families homes.

However without having spent a great deal of money on my own renovations and decor I have managed to create a home that I adore.

I now understand that my style is based more on creating a sense of history, a lived in cosy feel, natural light and a slightly french country look.

A great way to understand your style is to create a collection of photographs of rooms that appeal to you. You should only select pictures to add to your collection that you like enough that you would live in this style of room almost exactly as the picture looks.

Once you have your entire collection of photos you will see a pattern forming of a style that is uniquely your own. Look at them closely and make a list of all the common elements for example a common thread you can see in all of these pictures are: hand painted lighting, candle sticks, velvet, chandeliers, vintage and rustic pieces, wood white and cream, eclectic pieces, books, photos, picture frames, traditional style furniture. There you have it,  my style in a nut shell. Now you can do the same to discover your style.
