What is the purpose of a sample book?

A sample book is defined as a book that has samples in it.
But seriously, let’s break it down. The word sample: a small part or quantity intended to show what the whole is like. The word book is defined as a written or printed work consisting of pages glued or sewn together along one side and bound in covers. Thus the term sample book that it is a collection of samples sewn together and bound in a cover. That is the professional definition of a sample book.

A Relaxing Get-Away… For Less

It seems like these days I am going non-stop – between work, errands, and everything else I try to squeeze in.  From the minute I roll out of bed I am constantly busy, and have a million things going on, so I decided it’s reasonable to redecorate my bedroom to create my own personal get away from the world. But, of course, I am on a budget. Currently, I have old furniture that I have taken with me through several moves, mismatched bedding, and my walls are the same boring white they were when I moved in. But, it seems these days, with the help of google, anything is possible.

Fashion – I went to fit and love to shop so clearly fashion takes over my world. Now renting an apartment I wanted to incorporate fashion on my windows as well!  Where better than to get my information from, then, the hottest spot to find the up and coming trends but the runway.  Paris, Milan, and of course the city that never sleeps! 

Who Puts A Window in the Shower??

After moving into my new apartment, I discovered the bathroom window, was actually located in the shower.  Not just in the shower, but directly across from the faucet, so if I was taking a shower, I was completely exposed to the outside world.  I’m not sure why someone thought this was a good idea, the bathroom is on the first floor of what I consider to be a pretty busy street.  Clearly, privacy is a huge concern! At the same time, the window is hit with water anytime anyone showers, which eliminates all possibility of using an attractive fabric shade – I can only imagine it would get moldy, and fast.  In my previous apartment, I had a decorative curtain over the window that provided privacy, which I had brought with me in the intention of re-hanging it.

I recently bought my first house.  It’s a small home that has recently been remodeled.  However, the windows, although still in good condition, are old.  Shortly after moving in, I noticed quite a draft coming in.  Unfortunately with all the expenses of buying a new home, I can not afford to replace the windows right now.
