Ottawa Top Attractions Airplanes, Parliament, Tulips, Shopping and More


Ottawa is the capital city of Canada and is located on the Ottawa River. This city is considered the technological and political center of Canada.

Apartment Decorating 101


Apartments can be a lot of fun to decorate. Usually smaller than most houses yet still a comfortable size, they offer the perfect amount of living space for anyone from a recent college graduate to a small family. Yet people sometimes have trouble decorating their apartments in a way that utilizes their space in an efficient yet stylish way.
There are many ways to spruce up your apartment so that you feel as though you aren’t living in an impersonal box and instead are living in a home of your own! Large wall decorations such as paintings, posters and blown-up photographs can be aesthetically pleasing without being overpowering and sow some serious style.
If the apartment that you are living in is of a smaller size, there are many furnishing that can help make the space feel more expansive. Lighting is key. Harsh, unflattering light fixtures should be replaced by ones that you like and that cast a softer, cozier glow. Windows can also bring in sunlight during the day, and opening the curtains or blinds during the daytime can let in a lot of natural sunlight and help bring the outdoors inside, which can make a room feel larger than it actually is.
Unlike many traditional homes, most apartments do not have dining rooms that are their own separate rooms. Instead, there is usually a space set of from the kitchen that is meant to serve as the dining room. In many apartments, this area is fairly small and cannot comfortably fit a large dining table. Instead, opt for one that seats anywhere from four to six people and doesn’t take up too much space. To many, a formal dining area is important in a home, and the feel of one such dining room can still be had in an apartment.
Decorating an apartment and making it truly yours with personal touches of your own can be a lot of fun, and making the most of the space is easy to do.
