Slatkin & Co.
Chat with scent guru Harry Slatkin...and enter our contest to win Slatkin & Co. candles!
A Facebook chat with Harry Slatkin might be as close as we get to Martha Stewart or Elton John -- after all, both of those undeniably fabulous personalities have Slatkin & Co. candles in their gorgeous homes. So we're delighted to direct you, dear readers, to the Bath & Body Works facebook page tonight at 7 - 8pm EST, where Harry will be chatting on their Facebook wall with everyone who joins in.
Got plans tonight? Fret not! Harry's also taken time out of his role as President of Home for Bath & Body Works to share his tips on ShelterPop today! Read on for his design advice:
5 instant ways to redesign your room for under $25
Spray-paint plastic furniture: Try textured spray-paint for a natural-stone look on ordinary plastic furniture.
Use a table cloth as a window treatment or wall decoration: Scour flea markets for vintage table cloths and hang it on the wall (framed or unframed) or use as a window treatment.
Paint a doorframe: Buy a gallon of paint and simply paint your doorframe in a contrasting accent color to make it pop against the wall.
Use mirrors as wall decorations: Peruse dollar discount stores for several different sized mirrors and hang them side by side. It gives the room an illusion of being larger.
Use a scented candle: Scent affects a room's energy and décor as much as the color, lighting and furnishings. Candles are a budget friendly way to create a fragrant and warm environment. Try the Slatkin & Co. Sunflower figural, a bright and sunny blend of mandarin, grapefruit green tea, subtle musk and the natural essence of white woods.
Make sure to catch up with Harry's Happy Hour Blog Tour -- he left tips with Luxist, BeautySundae and StyleList this week. And in the meantime, we have five "Fresh Picked" Slatkin & Co candles, provided to us by Bath & Body Works, to give away to our readers. Post a comment below and one could be yours.
