Better Homes and Gardens has a new contest and you can win a room makeover from Stephen Saint-Onge in their Save My Room contest. Simply follow the link to their website and complete all aspects of the questionnaire. As always, this is a reliable contest with actual prizes given away at the end.

As an added bonus, your finished room will be featured in the magazine!

The hardest part of the whole thing might be selecting just one room to enter.

Ikea has come out with a new decorating tool that is a great way to wile away a few hours or combat boredom. I'm not sure that the website is an incredibly useful tool for most home set ups but it does a great job of showing you some of their products and decorating options and it probably works quite well for people in a dorm room or a first apartment.

Go ahead and try Ikea's website bebravenotbeige.com and try to come up with rooms that appeal to you. You can also share the rooms with others so you and your friends can picture your dream Ikea rooms.

I am a great fan of Domino Magazine and typically have really enjoyed their regular email publications in addition to the actual magazine so I was sorry to hear that they have just announced that they will be ceasing publication due to the current economic climate and their inability to get the advertising support necessary.

Their first tenet was that "home should make your happy", something I firmly believe. Forget about decorating to please others, impress neighbors or keep up with the trends, find things that make you happy and surround yourself with them. I'm sure that my home will not be as happy without Domino.

Best of luck to all who worked for Domino Magazine and thanks for more than four years of great interior decorating ideas.
