Windows Vista Wallpaper

Posted by sew4tejhtr6ier 0 komentar

Why change your Windows Vista wallpaper? With the upgraded video cards required to run Vista you can now have very high quality wallpapers. This combined with the huge amount of Vista wallpapers available in the web, it's no wonder that so many people want to have a change in desktop scenery.

Any time you want to change your Vista's usual scene follow these steps:

o go to any blank spot on your desktop and right-click

o choose "Personalize" and a box will appear with 7 options.

o choose the Desktop Background option

o you now have a box that says "choose your desktop background". You will see colored squares which constitute your first choice: solid colors.

o if you don't like solid colors, click on the tiny box with the pull down arrow. The words "picture location" appear right on the left of this tiny box.

o click the arrow down. You'll see that you have at least three choices: windows wallpapers, pictures, sample pictures, and public pictures.

o feel free to browse all of the wallpapers and when you've settled on one, click it and Windows will automatically replace your present desktop wallpaper with the one you selected.

o if you'd like to have your own personal pictures as your wallpaper, simply click on "browse" and windows will take you to your pictures folder. Choose which one you like, click and Vista does the rest!

Tips

o you can also use a picture you like that you saw in a web site or one in your pictures folder. To do this, (a) right click on the web site picture or your picture; (b) select "set as background", and then Vista will execute.

o a tip you'll appreciate: background or wallpaper files are usually stored as BMP, GIF, JPG, JPEG, DIB or PNB files. So any photo or picture on cyberspace or on anyone's digital camera can be used as a background.

o when you bought your computer, the positioning of your Windows Vista wallpaper (or picture) was given a default position. You can override this by simply checking the appropriate box where it asks you: "How should the Picture be Positioned?" Select between stretched, tiled and centered

To position your wallpaper, you have three choices:

1. stretched - this means that the entire desktop will be covered

2. tiled - your wallpaper or picture will be in mosaic form (as in tiles)

3. centered - the Windows Vista wallpaper (or picture) will occupy only the center of your desktop.

Remember to have fun changing your Vista wallpaper because it really makes the day a little more enjoyable when you can look at a picture that you like rather then the one that Microsoft thinks you'll like.

Happy Halloween

Posted by sew4tejhtr6ier 0 komentar

Happy Halloween to everyone. I love Halloween. Today is the annual Doggie Howl-o-ween Costume Contest at the Hotel Monaco in Alexandria. Izzy has won Most Glamorous Dog three times in a row. The last time we won a fabulous weekend in NYC. Last year was unfortunately canceled due to Hurricane Sandy. That was the Japanese kimono costume in the last photos. My daughter Kate, Isabella (Izzy), and I have this year's costumes all set to go. Izzy's involves a wig this year, so we'll see how that goes. ;-)

It's an outdoor event, of course, and it's sunny and 72 degrees here in DC today. Here are some photos of my house all ready for Halloween and some photos of our costumes from past years.

One Room Challenge - A Personal Reveal

Posted by sew4tejhtr6ier Rabu, 30 Oktober 2013 0 komentar

This is the fifth week of the One Room Challenge. Next week is the big reveal! I recall that Linda of Calling It Home once referred to me as one of the most personally private bloggers on the blogosphere. Well, today I will reveal something about myself - I love to clean my house. I have never had a cleaning lady and have never even considered it. I love the entire process of taking care of my home. Those of you who balked at me saying that I enjoy doing laundry with my new washer and dryer probably just fainted.

Part of my love for cleaning includes having wonderful cleaning tools. No plastic for me - all wood and leather and lambswool and goat hair and such. They are works of art really. Check out these photos from one of my favorite stores - John Derian in NYC.

These cleaning tools are made by a wonderful German company - Redecker and can be purchased online. Crate and Barrel has started a section in their stores and online called Clean Slate and they carry some of the Redecker line as shown just below.

I wanted to create an area in my laundry room for my collection of cleaning tools. In my laundry room, there was already a large pegboard, so I just bought pegboard hooks at Lowe's. Now everything is easily found and is a beautiful display as well.

I also did another DIY - now I bet Linda has just fainted. I wanted a chair in the laundry room for the mud room area I have created to sit and take on and off muddy wellies and wet boots. I had a mahogany corner chair in one of the bedrooms that was not really being used and decided it would be ideal. I found this gorgeous Clarence House Les Porcelaines Bleu designer sample on Etsy for $15.00 and used it to cover the seat. I placed the pattern on the diagonal and I think it looks perfect.

My laundry room is quickly becoming one of my favorite rooms in the house. I am using things you don't normally find in laundry rooms - so far you have seen my Brunschwig & Fils wallpaper, a dupioni silk roman shade, an antique ginger jar, Clarence House fabric, a mahogany chair, and you won't believe what I have in store for the reveal next week. Everything I have shown you was found very inexpensively on eBay, Etsy, and consignment stores. My laundry room is not only functional, it is gorgeous. Rules were made to be broken in making your home your own.

I hope to see you all next week for the reveal. I cannot wait to show you the rest. Thanks so much to my sponsors and friends of Chinoiserie Chic for supporting this One Room Challenge.
