TV + Home Theater System

P1060195

Getting a new TV with home theatre system for our house is proving to be our wisest investment of the year so far. It has incredibly lessened the kids’ boredom and has proven to be great in keeping us at home during weekends. I personally would want a bigger screen but that might need to wait until we have a house of our own. For now, we will be content entertaining ourselves with movies with our TV!

Modern & Heirlooms: Making It work

imageimageimage

An interesting concept in designing a house is always making sure everything works. From the theme of the house, to its design and furniture, everything should flow and blend together. I admire homes which have eclectic pieces which stand out and yet blend well together. This holds especially true when you have family heirlooms passed down like a vintage china cabinet or a special rocking chair. You can use them as accents to a room, the only thing you need to do is re-arrange and experiment. These things keep me awake at night, while writing about summaries on different drug rehabilitation center programs.

Creating Your Own Garden Office

image

Whereas before a garden office can only be built by rich people, these days even the ordinary household can afford to buy or build one. Companies like Atelier, which did the impressive garden office you see on the picture, has an amazing gallery of designs for their portfolio. They modular garden offices which can be delivered to your home and installed in just three days!

But before you have one built, here are some considerations you need to think about carefully first:

1. Be sure of the location where you are going to have it built. Carefully positioning where your garden office will help you make most of the natural light and scenery your garden has to offer. It can also be situated close enough to the main house so you don’t have to walk far to get it and be close for any emergencies but far enough that you can work in peace and have some privacy. You can also decide to place it where it will not be as hot when it is summer time.

2. Choose the amenities you want it to have. The best thing about garden offices is that it can serve many purposes. It can serve as your office during the day and entertain guests at night. It can also serve as a room if someone needs a place to stay. It can be insulated and have double or triple glazing and it can have all the services you need to give yourself a proper office, which will be just as good as anything you might rent. It can even have its own bathroom, internet and phone connections!

3. You choose only the appliances and pieces of furniture that will help you focus on working and not the other way around. It might not be a good idea to have a television set in the garden office or a bed that might lure to just relax and sleep. Pick pieces of furniture that will help you work.

4. Work around with what your garden and nature have to offer. Take advantage of it. For example, gardens or the outdoors will give the best natural light to allow you to work. Most of these offices are designed with natural lighting in mind. They will have glass doors, large windows, and allow for ample natural sunlight to enter and illuminate the building. While this makes working at night a different story, there is still the capacity to add in artificial light if the room does not seem bright enough.

Tips for Buying Bunk Beds for Kids

Shopping for furniture is fun and exciting. You do not just consider a single piece of furniture that you are eyeing; you consider how it will fit in with the rest of the things inside your house. For many parents with more than one child that are big enough already, shopping for Bunk beds for kids is a must. It can be a milestone to have a child ready to move from his or her crib to his or her own bed. For those with two children, a bunk bed will make the adjustment easier because they can keep each other company.

· Make sure that the bunk bed you plan on buying has safety precautions for children. It is very important to make sure that the beds have side rails to prevent your children from falling especially from the top bunk. Also keep in mind that only a child six years old and above should go up the top bunk. Ask the store whether the bed has passed the necessary quality testings.

· Check if you can attach additional features on the bunk bed. Some of these beds may be attached with a study table which might be useful if your kids go to school already.

Home Furniture Wish List: New Sofa

One of our projects this year is to replace our current dining room and living room furniture. These pieces of furniture have been hand-me-downs from my parents, which have endured (and survived) moving houses from south to north and back nine times.
We will have our dining room furniture replaced first. We already have a design in mind and we are just waiting for a good deal at the mall so we can buy it, or have someone refer us to a reliable custom furniture maker. They are still presentable and it holds sentimental value. Our sofa has been with the family since the year I was born. So this sofa is the same age as me, my mom never fails to tell me that every time I bring up the subject of buying a new one.

I also keep changing my mind whenever I would think about what type of sofa I want for our home. Sometimes I want it sectional and big and full of pillows, other times I just want it stand-alone couches with a love seat. The only thing that is constant is I am not buying any leather sofas! I just find it too hot to sit on, even if it requires minimal maintenance.

For now I am leaning towards a sectional sofa.

The best part about a sectional sofa is that, you can break it up as soon as the event is over and can spread them as individual units in different rooms, if it is too large for your living room.

While sectional sofas act as decorative pieces, besides offering utility, one should consider the size, color and texture of the units. The colors and textures should match your wall paper, wall color and the draperies. Further, your efficiency to place them in a creative order will add to the beautification.

Who doesn’t love IKEA? It would be a dream come true if they open a flagship store where I live. Whenever writing about accutane reviews takes its toll on me, I would browse home decor blogs for some inspiration (and motivation to save) for our future home.

I dream of having floor-to ceiling bookshelves filled with books and shelves for almost every room. This IKEA Expedit bookcase is perfect for magazines, children’s artwork and supplies and random stuff!

Ceiling Fans

Talk to any interior designer and he would always suggest that you get Ceiling Fans instead of desk or stand fans. They do not mess with a room’s interior design and it helps circulate air in a room better. Now once you have decided to go with a Ceiling Fan for your room, you would need to scout for the good quality ones that are still affordable. Hansen Wholesale Ceiling Fans have the reputation to be the best in the industry.

Consider the power, size and durability of all ceiling fan motors before making a decision. Although a larger fan is going to be more expensive than a smaller model, it will have more power and longer durability. This will keep the ceiling fan running without so much as a wobble or noise from wearing down.

Another purchase factor is the overall durability and performance of a ceiling fan.

Take into consideration the size, shape and pitch of the fan blades. Also consider the height distance between a ceiling fan and the actual ceiling in a room. If the ceiling fan is going to run too close to the ceiling, it will undoubtedly affect how the fan operates.

Ceiling fans are available in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and colors. Taking the time to become educated on all the different variations of ceiling fans will ensure the right fit for any home or office.

Modern Living Furniture Pieces

I have my own dream home, who doesn’t? In my head, my home would have been a eclectic collage of rooms I loved when flipping through magazines, watching TV shows and surfing home decor blogs. I want it modern but still look homey, lived in and inviting. It must be a tall order since I haven’t seen a house with that atmosphere when I look into modern houses which oftentimes have minimalist styles and clean lines.

I have been looking at modern living room furniture and came across collections that are perfect for what I have in mind for a family room in my head. I want it cozy with full of pillows and yet with classic, clean lines.

Here is the Renaissance Collection I saw:

It comes in a complete set: sofa, loveseat, ottoman, 1/4 chairs!

I am partial to fabric sofas and not the leather upholstered ones because I find them too sticky and somehow cold and inviting. I want that collection set in my family/receiving room and a smaller set in my office. Since I work from home, naturally, I would be planning an office in my head too!

I just hope all the plans in my head come true somehow, soon, within the next three years probably.

Student Nook – Coffee Table

I wish I can get one for our family room!

book nook

I was reading some information about adult acne when I chanced upon the link from Design Sponge. I find the design extraordinary and quite interesting. It is also useful. This would make a great coffee table, as it can hold books, coffee cups and can make a great conversation starter piece among friends.
