New Trends in Design & Comfortable Living
 by Lise Richards
For the past several years I have seen the emergence of a new trend called ‘Lifestyling’. Lifestyling encompasses many elements on gracious living, extravagant and memorable entertaining, architecture, home design, and tips on where to live comfortably in spaces large and small, with less effort or clutter than you can imagine. In fact, this trend has effectively blurred the lines of traditional titles and professions. New ideas and new inspiration have created new sales to the tune of over 70 million dollars for one large company.
But haven't good ideas for living always been around? The answer is yes. Certainly there have been people in the past that shared tips and ideas through books and magazine articles on how to entertain, or make a special recipe; they were mostly focused on one area. Lifestyling gurus help you capture all the pieces and put them together graciously and quickly. Collectively, they promote ideas on living, entertaining, decorating, gardening, fashion and design.

Changes To Dreams Alive Magazine
Our Christmas issue is set to release in a few days. This will be our last distinctly seasonal issue since we will release an issue every month, starting 1/15/2005 . By releasing the issue monthly, there will be less content, but the content will be more current and will better relate to your immediate needs or desires.
As with all previous issues, our monthly versions will stay online indefinitely and will still carry the distinct charm provided by our very unique and visually appealing online magazine.
One of the greatest boosts for our advertisers is that we will still be treating the advertising as a seasonal item, so when you purchase an ad for the Winter edition, it will appear in both the January and February issues...at the same price. Better yet, the spring and summer issues had spanned a three month period, so paying for a Spring ad puts your ad in the March, April and May issues.
It is our goal to continue to do our best to provide you with the best. There is a lot of time, money and work involved in each issue, so we do appreciate when you share us with your friends or mention us in forums and blogs. These seemingly simple things will help ensure we are here for a very long time to come.
Thank-you and have a great day!

Nursery Decoration - green carpet
Posted by: Chelsea
I need help designing our nursery. Our first baby is due in March, the room we have to use for the nursery has an emerald green colored carpet, in good condition. Right now, the walls are just an egg-shell white color, but we're open to painting. I just don't know what other colors would go good, and what 'baby' colors we can incorporate into it. Right now we don't know if we're having a boy or girl either, we tried to find out, but the baby wasn't in a good position for that. Anyone have suggestions?

THE HOME AND GARDEN RESOURCE DIRECTORY KEEPS EXPANDING
Designing Online's Home and Garden Resource Directory is the Ultimate Collection of Home and Garden Resources. Spanning 36 Home and Garden related category choices, this resource directory is presented in a very functional and pleasingly esthetic way. In addition, there are no pop-ups or pop-unders to deal with.
We have taken many steps recently to attract more and more of the types of websites you love to explore. If you haven't done so already
Visit the Home and Garden Resource Directory now,...Bookmark it and make it your launching point to discover all your Interior Decorating, Interior Design and general Home and Garden solutions.
Attention Webmasters:
There are now 3 levels of inclusion within the Home and Garden Resource Directory:
- Express Inclusion - One Time $35.00 fee - A reciprocal link is NOT required. Primary Benefit is that Google and other major search engines give much greater credit to your popularity when using one way linking, especially from a high PR site like Designing Online. Multiple submissions from the same domain are allowed.
- Shared Inclusion - One Time $3.50 fee - A reciprocal link of your choice IS required. Primary Benefit is that you save a considerable amount of money by exchanging links as part of your inclusion payment.
- Free Inclusion - A very specific reciprocal link IS required. Primary Benefit is for individuals or businesses that have virtually no advertising budget, this option guarantees inclusion in our directory, while also helping to publicize our Resource Area.
So what does this all mean? If you are already listed, you can now add your listing to another category using our "Express Inclusion" feature. When you place your link using "Express Inclusion", you can place that same link in a second category at half price.
In addition, for those of you that may have placed your listing some time ago, for only $5.00 you can increase your search engine popularity and drive more people to your website by moving your existing link back to the #1 spot in your category, if your link had been moved to subsequent pages within your category. Simply find your link and choose to "Take it to the Top".
- P.S. The moment you do this, you instantly qualify for a Free Classified Ad in the next issue of Dreams Alive Magazine. (a $12.50 value)
