KITCHEN DESIGN IDEAS
google blogger on Thursday, November 25, 2010
Are you thinking of redecorating your kitchen for the new year? Listed below are some great kitchen decorating ideas you can use for 2010 to bring life to the room you spend the most time in:Use bright bold colors - Kitchens are the one place where you can use bright reds, greens, yellows, and blues and get away with it. If you try to use those colors for a dining or living area, they probably will not look good at all. But if you want your kitchen to stand out and make a bold statement, using bright colors is the way to do it. You can't do this in every kitchen but if yours is one that already has a whimsical look, adding colors can be a great idea.
The clean and neat kitchen - Some kitchens are a mess, with the refrigerator full of magnets, things hung all over the walls, and the counter tops packed with utensils. This kind of a hectic kitchen is not for everyone and you might prefer one that has more elegance and style. If you want a kitchen that you can bring anyone to and not be embarrassed, the clean and neat kitchen is for you. Minimal things on the walls, the counter tops should be clean, and everything should be put away in it's proper spot: which is in a cupboard!
Old style vintage kitchen - Do you remember hanging out in your Grandmother's kitchen. Those were the good old days when a kitchen had character and it didn't have all sorts of high tech gadgets. If you want your own vintage kitchen, think about doing away with all the things that look modern and replacing them with old school ones instead. For instance, you could add something like a mortar and pestle set. Simplicity should be the theme for this kind of kitchen.
Kitchen for chefs - If you like the clean white look of the kind of restaurant kitchen you see in the movies, you can try to model yours accordingly. This kind of kitchen accentuates the basics and when you walk in, it is clear this kitchen is for cooking! Usually there is a lot of stainless steel used for the cabinets, sinks, andstove tops and this is one of the more unique kitchen design ideas.
Restaurant style kitchen - At some restaurants, you can get aglimpse of part of even all of the kitchen. This is because it is stylishly decorated and it serves as part of the atmosphere of the restaurant. If you have an open kitchen that blends in with your dining room or eating area, you can try to duplicate this look. Think more about what things look like than how well they work because style is the most important aspect of this kitchen.
The casual kitchen - This is the kitchen that is the favorite room in the house where everyone ends up spending a lot of time. Comfort is the key here as all the chairs and stools must be a pleasure to sit on. The kitchen colors must be soft on the eyes and you need to have it big enough for people to congregate. This type of kitchen is designed as the gathering spot both for guests when you have parties and for everyday use.

Eco Friendly Garden Furniture
google blogger on Monday, November 15, 2010
When choosing eco-friendly garden furniture, is it enough for it to be FSC certified? Should we be sticking to local materials or choosing garden furniture made from salvaged or recycled materials?
Is it more sustainable to choose garden furniture made from local materials, or garden furniture made from salvaged wood?
These elegant loungers are made from salvaged teak
The sustainable furniture option does not have to mean compromising on design
The teak will age elegantly over many years to a soft silver grey.
No need to oil, wax or varnish.
Sustainable garden furniture choices can be a minefield as there is no one right answer. Here are some simple tips to keep in mind when making your decisions...
1/Buy garden furniture made from locally produced wood
There is no excuse for buying teak furniture (even if it is sustainably forested) when so much environmental damage is done shipping it halfway around the world. Choose English Oak from local managed woodland, or if you must have teak, choose furniture made from salvaged or recycled wood
2/Buy recycled garden furniture, or garden furniture that is made from reclaimed materials
Furniture made from recycled or reclaimed materials is clearly the most sustainable option. Garden Boutique have a great choice of stylish recycled metal garden furniture and wooden furniture made from reclaimed wood. These materials are already in circulation and so have a limited impact on the environment.
3/Avoid oil based paints and stains.
Choose wood that is suitable for outdoor use without treatment such as oak, sweet chestnut, larch, western red cedar or douglas fir. If you must colour your wood, choose water-based products so that any wooden furniture can be recycled or composted at the end of its useful life.
This garden furniture is made from 100% recycled aluminium.
Making this garden furniture reuses waste aluminium and consumes only 5% of the energy needed to produce aluminium from ore.
Small Balcony Ideas
google blogger on Sunday, November 7, 2010
I have a really small balcony (1m x 4m) which faces north and it’s lovely to sit with a cup of coffee, read the paper or munch on a piece of toast in the morning sunshine – if only I could fit! No matter how many different ways I have tried to organise that balcony, it has been a constant decorating challenge. Small tables and chairs always over-crowd the space making it impractical to move around and walk down to the yard - until I discovered the Hanging Balcony Table.
It looked pretty ridiculous online, but for $59.95 it was worth giving it a try.When it arrived, it was a little larger than I thought and solved the problem perfectly. Coupled with a bench seat from IKEA and these cute little pink and scarlet outdoor cushions, I have the perfect place to sit in the mornings to watch the birds and enjoy the sunshine.
Here are a few other small balcony ideas I have uncovered while researching my own little project… Urban Balcony has some great furniture ideas including these ones for small spaces:
Burkes Backyard featured a small balcony makeover one episode including converting aluminium toolboxes into bench seats that also double as storage. I’m not too keen on the look personally, but I was originally thinking of having a piece of furniture custom made to fit in this space which could act as a kind of small daybed and storage box at the same time. They also featured another balcony makeoverwhich looks much better including custom designs furniture and wooden deck tiles.
Bathroom Vanity Cabinets
google blogger on Tuesday, November 2, 2010
Any design of Bathroom Vanity Cabinets are to consider the use of steam, hot and cold water system in the bathroom. As those three kind of liquids are the most commonly found in a bathroom one use to clean his body. Although it seems to have nothing to do with , it may directly affect Bathroom Vanity Cabinets performance in the sense of its lifetime and its hygienic.
Basic rule to notice is that one should spare at least 4 inches rise from the bathroom floor surface before putting Bathroom Vanity Cabinets. This is a must. Most Bathroom Vanity Cabinets start to get damaged starting from their base part. Yes, it is because of water splash and very high floor moisture which is absorbed by the Bathroom Vanity Cabinets porous material. When this happened bacteriae and or rust will grow up and settle in unreachable spots which is impossible to be cleaned then.
For some aesthetical reasons there are designs where one must put his Bathroom Vanity Cabinets directly on the bathroom floor without any concrete bed to lay on. Yes you can do that as long as you are sure your bathroom floor is 100% dry. 5% of moisture is the maximum tolerance you can get for this kind of purpose. Since to build a 100% dry floor surface would require a lot of cost to build. Usually the Bathroom Vanity Cabinets manufacturer or the carpenter you order them from will use the hardest and best quality of wood to anticipate the demand. Plus using the kind of Poly Urethane surface protection to make it last long.
The only thing is most bathroom will use ceramic tiles at its floor and walls. As we understand there are grout lines all over the floor surface so indeed the Bathroom Vanity Cabinets are still exposed to water in some way. Nothing is perfect and above mentioned is the best thing one can do to fulfill his dream bathroom lay out. To arrange a short meeting between you, your designer and your contractor is the best way to do prior to the work.
There is possibility to invite another contractor who do waterproofing job. Your Bathroom Vanity Cabinets lifetime will depend on his work indeed. The remaining 5% tolerance of floor moisture is a result of naturally never ending condensation process. Particularly when your bathroom environment bears a hot humid air then condensation must be handled by proper experienced contractor.

Fuquan Junze Furniture Collection
google blogger on Sunday, October 31, 2010
This new furniture works collection is designed by Hongkong based design studio, Oil Monkey with their main designer Fuquan Junze. The furniture collection was done in clean and simple way using creative mixture of materials like plastic, oak, wood and stainless steel.
OilMonkeyology:
“The definition of a query has a greater ponder value compared to the query itself, it is because we often neglect what we are actually pondering about, and what needs are we actually asking for. The design should not be purely existed only for the sense of aesthetic, its existence also coheres with its own significance and individual theory; these components are being mutually diverted to generate the indivisible relationship.”
The Perspective shelf is designed on the basis of the principles of perspective drawing and made of oak.
In memoriam: Li Fu Quan & Huang Jing Yun

Smart Furniture : Expandable Table
google blogger on Saturday, October 16, 2010
If you want a piece of unique furniture in your home than this table is the right choice for you.This table is not just an usual table it is a round table which, when rotated at its outer perimeter, amazingly doubles its seating capacity and, just as astonishingly, remains truly circular. Very importantly it stores its expansion leaves within itself. Existing tables can seat six persons when small, and twelve or more when expanded, but there are other design possibilities. Operation, which has been described as ‘pure magic’ by Boat International magazine, really is a sight to behold and extremely quick, it taking only three seconds to complete an entire expansion or reduction cycle.Now let’s see the table in action.For more informations about this product visit DB Fletcher Furniture Design.
