Home Style Wish List
Gifts for the Home Decorating and Design Enthusiast By Shel Franco
As you're making your list and checking it twice, you'll probably notice at least one name that belongs to a home improvement or design enthusiast. You know the one your sister whose home is always perfect or your brother-in-law who's always delving into another project. This year, why not give them a gift that reflects their passion?
Whether it's home improvement or interior design, tools can make or break the project. That's why Black & Decker's GelMax 14.4 Volt Drill/Studfinder/Flashlight is the perfect gift. The item retails for approximately $80. Black & Decker products are available at retailers like Home Depot, Lowe's, Sears and Wal-Mart.
Another must-have for the decorating or design enthusiast is a power roller. Painting becomes much simpler when using a product like Wagner's Power Roller Quicktouch. Just plug the entire gallon paint can into the base, and you're ready to roll no pouring, no mess. Paint flows up to 12 ounces per minute, and you control the flow. The Quicktouch retails for around $70 and can be purchased at major home improvement stores throughout the United States.
Stylish storage is big on every home decorator's list. This can certainly be accomplished with accessories from RGI. The Honey S3 Open Weave Rattan baskets with sage canvas liners are the perfect choice. Three storage baskets are included for the $50 price tag. RGI storage accessories can be purchased at Home Depot.
You can give a gift that gives its recipient something to look forward to like warmer weather. The Pawley's Island 100 percent cotton rope swing can do that. Just like their famous hammocks, this swing is hand-woven for ultimate comfort and relaxation. The rope swing retails for about $49. To find a retailer near you, visit The Original Pawley's Island Rope Hammock site.
When you give a book, you give a gift that inspires more projects in the coming year. Home Improvement 1-2-3
