Party Theme Planning And Invitations

Invitations are obviously very important when throwing a party. They include information like where the party is at, what you need to bring, what times everyone should show up and leave, and the date of the party. Your invitations should include something that hints at your party theme plan. Sometimes you can make your own invitations, this is a really good idea because it can be cheaper, and you can base it on your party theme exactly the way you want it.

Planning Your Party And Theme

Depending on the time of your party depends on the order of your party. If you are having a party that includes lunch this might be the order you will be throwing your party:

  1. Small activities~ everyone might just want to play and talk for the first little while of the party before lunch and the main activities begin. The main activities should support the birthday party theme.
  2. Eat~ have few snacks out as the guests are arriving, then make the meal which could be anything.
  3. Open presents~ Have the main attention… and presents all focused on the child’s party you are throwing for.
  4. CAKE TIME~ the song can be sung, and the candles can be blown out, and then everyone can enjoy a piece of delicious cake that is designed with the birthday theme in mind.
  5. Main Activities~ now it is time for something really fun for everyone. Let it be the video games, crafts, movie, contest. It doesn’t matter as long as it is the activity everyone was waiting for.

Choosing the right theme can be time consuming, but pulling it all off in the end can be acclomplished with a bit of hard work. When you are finished and the party has concluded, you will be rewarded with the smiles of your guests and the memories of the perfect birthday party theme gone right.

Including Over The Toilet Storage In Your Modern Bathroom

modern over toilet storage shelvesBathrooms that are designed with the modern look still suffer the same problem as all other washrooms do, and basically a good design is one where you use the space you have to it’s fullest. It is essential to use every nook and cranny that you can, including over the toilet storage. Knowing the measurments of your room and having a plan on where to place everything is a great start.

Does clutter take over in your washroom? Toiletries, towels, magazines and soaps are all things that pile up in corners and on counters. By using well placed vanities, cabinets and above the toilet storage racks or shelves you can reclaim most of that space.

When you decide what kind of furniture you want, the next step is pick out all of your colors. The modern look demands a certain abstract feel, so if you decide and white paint with red towels, a dark wood for your vanity or cabinet would look best. Alternatively, you could go with a light blue paint job and a chrome over the toilet storage rack.

Stainless steel or chrome finishings for faucets and furniture will always produce a very modern feel. You can also get these fixtures for your bath or sink in a more contemporary look rather than the regular looking models. This will also lend an air of modernity to your room.

When adding tile, make sure you go with a bold color to contrast against the paint style you chose as well as the colors of your storage options. As mentioned before, contrast in your design is an essential ingredient when it comes to modern decoration. Finally, if you need window coverings try to stay away from curtains. A nice roller-shade or something along those lines would look so much better.

When it comes to the storage solution for your bathroom, you have the choice of using vanities, cupboards, wall cabinets, shelves, racks and making use of the space above the toilet. The main problem that arises is the lack of space in a bathroom, as it is often the smallest room in the house. So you can put in a nice vanity above a sink that maybe has some cupboards, but after than space is limited and adding storage options can become more difficult. Aside from a towel rack or a small shelf, where can you store your towels and other items?

That is where utilizing the space above your toilet makes the most sense. And you can always find something that matches the rest of your washroom. From mahogany, oak, metal, chrome or just white, a cabinet or shelf is perfect. So remember to finish your bathroom with a nice, roomy over the toilet storage cabinet.
