How cute! Notice the man standing at the second floor? I think its a cute idea for my next kitchen at my next house (if theres gonna be one *wink). Why I like it? Because the smell of my cooking (if the smell is good) will fill up the house to the second floor so I dont have to call my hubby to come down for dinner, he'll follow the smell downstairs himself :-)<br />

It makes me feel like my childhood bedroom - pink!! I wish one day I can open a cafe like this. I'll bake my lovely cakes, pies, macaroons, and the whole cafe will smell good, plus the colors of my dessert and cakes will perfectly match my cafe's interior. wallah!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
I found this article in the Star which caught my eyes. I love the design of this remodelled house. Although Im a bit afraid to adorned this look for my house, but I never stop admiring it everytime I saw a house designed to simulate the contemporary art galleries, has an airy layout and a raw interior finishing. The use of glass, steel, cement, concrete and the aesthetic interior, makes it look so sexy. <br />
<br />

Some of the greatest contemporary establishments owe their status to a sensible use of space. As a rule of thumb, contemporary design emphasises spatial clarity based on function, practicality and style. Sculptureatwork’s KL studio has taken this approach to the limit.<br />
A Penang-based company that provides cutting-edge sculptures, murals, ornaments and 3D art for landscape design. <br />
<br />
<strong>Radical transformation</strong><br />
Previously a quaint one-storey bungalow, Sculptureatwork studio has been radically transformed into a contemporary structure with an open plan concept. According to Tan, the renovation project focused on creating a space that carries purity and functionality of an art gallery, without compromising the homely feel of the original structure.<br />
With this in mind, Tan raised the ceiling, and subsequently built a flight of staircases that rises to the mezzanine floor. Tan’s office is located here. Behind the faceted screen of his office are panes of glass, which open up to the neighbourhood garden. Acknowledging that Sculptureatwork is a growing company that plans to expand its business, Tan knew that he would need a bigger office space for his staff. A quarter of ground floor, therefore, has been converted into an office space. Donning similar industrial style, the office on the ground floor is situated next to a library. Just a stone’s throw away from the office is the kitchen and the main hall.<br />

</div> Right in the middle of the ground floor is the main hall. Thanks to the window panes that open up to an outdoor area, the main hall is blessed with abundant natural light.<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Aesthetically speaking, there seems to be a deliberate lack of adornment in the main hall. The focal point here is a basic white rectangular table, on which the artists create their models. Apart from this table, there are only a few items, namely an orange leather sofa and a display shelf, which consists of three slabs of reclaimed woods attached to the wall.<br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><strong>Contemplative space</strong></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Where interior is concerned, there is an apparent monochromatic colour palette. According to Tan, such colour scheme was arranged to complement and highlight the artworks displayed in the studio.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Adding to the rawness of the interior are exposed wall plasters and floor plates, which together with industrial mesh balustrades, perfectly set an inherent industrial atmosphere. Even the kitchen is a paean to pared-down utility, evident in its rustic grey countertops and a grinding machine accessory.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Thrown into the interior mixture are out-of-this-world sculptures, railway sleepers, vintage Barbershop chairs, used hairdressers’ seats, and portable hair steamers. The railway sleepers have been creatively converted into stools and benches, while vintage barbershop chairs have been remodeled as armchairs.</div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7Jxa0SPKG6v99RBuyXGzQtzH6ylmBsAFP7SKnGJ1De1b6F2xgQu3ez0A1LbzTjmsw_M91IxIYBii4It_S7xPubCWF_9gPWdjt7wwa1RaUZznJXTltFMVntVKBiHvOMDLT13XGDeNcz0bb/s1600/6.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="cssfloat: right; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7Jxa0SPKG6v99RBuyXGzQtzH6ylmBsAFP7SKnGJ1De1b6F2xgQu3ez0A1LbzTjmsw_M91IxIYBii4It_S7xPubCWF_9gPWdjt7wwa1RaUZznJXTltFMVntVKBiHvOMDLT13XGDeNcz0bb/s320/6.bmp" width="320" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Meanwhile, old hairdressers’ seats are used in the meeting room, and classic portable hair steamers have been dismantled and turned into decorative lamps.</div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">But perhaps the most interesting interior piece in the studio is a replica model of Penang’s Rex Cinema, which is caged in wire barriers. Of the unique piece, Tan explains: “This replica is a metaphor of today’s development, which often forces heritage buildings to make ways for skyscrapers. In such instances, not only do we lost an iconic architectural symbol, but also a cultural identity as a society.”</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">The toughness of the materials and forms surely make this private studio a place of contemplation, despite the apparent hint of humour in the interior and its casual appeal.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

I spend hours at the bookstore browsing through the magazines, where I bought some, but cannot afford to buy all, whats more with some of the books was priced at hundreds of dollars. So I did took some shots of the photos I like from the magazine. Some are just plain beautiful pictures, while some other pictures has something interesting that caught my yes.<br />
<br />
Pardon the quality of the pictures, these are shots from my cameraphone.<br />

<div class="clearfix" id="content_header"><div id="byline">Congratulations, you've bought your first home! </div><div></div><div>Being a first-time homeowner is a very exciting and busy time in life. With all the planning, packing, renovating, furniture buying, you wonder where to start first. Without a checklist, its absolutely easy to overlook some very important things that need to be done. <br />
<br />
</div><div></div><div>I've gone through the best and the worst of moving into a new house. Even with a plan, checklist, costing & budget, and all the sketches and research paper that my husband and I have done, there are still so many other things that crops up and caught us off guard. The headache and stress is beyond this world.<br />
<br />
</div><div></div><div>Realistically, for most new home owners, the purchase of a house practically burns your pocket already. However, with a strategy in place, you can begin the process of kick starting your ideal home plan by carefully investing in the right projects and purchases so that your dream eventually becomes reality. <br />
<br />
</div><div></div><div>1. If its an old house, what you need to first do, is get your electrician and plumber to check and evaluate the old wiring and plumbing. If you need to change, these are the first thing that should be in your list. Sketch out the floor plan of your house, point out where you want the lighting to be the brightest, where you want mood lighting, so your contractor can create separate switches for different lighting mode. Power point is important and you need these a few around the house, and where you think you needed the most ie. bedroom, study room, tv area, kitchen etc, you wouldnt want to have to drag your fridge cable so far to plug it in, and you dont want to share the power point with a washing machine, both uses a high amount of power.</div><div>Before planning for the lighting, you need to already have some idea of what furnishing you want for your house. Rooms that you want to convert to a study rooms will need a brighter lighting, bedrooms only need minimal lighting with dressing table gets the best lighting. Walls that will have paintings, you might want to think about spotlights to highlight the paintings or photo frames. <br />
<br />
</div><div></div><div>A well chosen light fixture adds elegance, style and finish to a room while providing excellent lighting. There are literally thousands of lighting options available on the market today. Invest the time in purchasing a well made light fixture by a reliable manufacturer so that you can enjoy your purchase for years to come.<br />
<br />
</div><div></div><div>2. Set up utilities before you even move in: open or close an old account, so when you move in your utilities are ready to use (with zero/new balance, you dont want to be burden by unpaid utilities bill from the previous owner)<br />
<br />
</div><div></div><div>3. Renovations. This is the biggest headache! Even moving in to a new house (from developer)! Start planning, area by area. Group the area by the renovation work scope. Rule of thumb, do the area which has the biggest area space first, for example, changing of flooring. Floors occupies the biggest area in the house, so is the ceiling. This is the mess-iest. Next come whatever works that needs hacking, breaking down, cements - all the dirty and dusty work. Change of flooring, plaster ceiling, fixing the lighting, aircond plumbing and wiring, tiling, toilet and kitchen plumbing etc.<br />
<br />
</div><div></div><div>4. Then the fun part begin. Before the build-in, or loose fittings comes, you might want to think of the wall paint. Remember wall colors will change the overall look of your house. The wall colors you choose will act as a canvas for the rest of your home, so choose wisely. And again, at this point you would have already know what type of furniture you want to decorate your house with. Match the colors of the furniture, flooring and the wall. For dark flloring, you might want to go with a lighter wall color. Where its necessary you can add feature wall, or decorate it with wallpaper. Painting is a relatively inexpensive interior project, especially if you're handy and can do the painting yourself.<br />
<br />
</div><div></div><div>5. Once all the dirty work has done, you can now start fitting your build in cabinets, kitchen, interior design items. Last, are all the loose fitting and furnitures.<br />
<br />
</div><div></div><div>So these are the step by steps things that you should look into before you start anything.</div><ul><li>Should you renovate? minor or major. Define the scope of work</li>
<li>What kind of remodelling are you looking at? Budget?</li>
<li>Sketch your remodelling plan - laymen. Or get an interior designer to do it and advice on your plan.</li>
<li>Assembling the specification</li>
<li>Selecting a contractor</li>
<li>Start the remodeling project</li>
<li>Inspect and supervise your project</li>
<li>Decorate your home </li>

Was planning to have a trip with a friend who just got married. The hotel must be luxurious and romantic to cater to a honeymoon couple. If its just me and hubby, I'd settle with just a nice villa at the 'padi' field, or clife side outside Bali town.<br /><br />So I found these pictures.

The artful application of landscaping stone could enhance the natural elements that you have put in like your plants and shrubs. <div><br /><div></div><div><span style="color:#3333ff;"></span></div><div><span style="color:#3333ff;"></span><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>Types of Stones Used for Landscaping</strong></span><br /></div><ul><li><strong>Sandstone Landscaping:</strong> The most common colors of sandstone used for landscaping are buff, brown, blue, black and pink. They are usually used for making walls. </li><br /><li><strong>Slate Landscaping:</strong> The common colors used for landscaping are black, green and red. These stones are very strong and resistant to water. </li><br /><li><strong>Marble Landscaping:</strong> These are fine grained. The common shades are pink, white, black, yellow and brown. These stones are strong and have high water absorption.

The act of raking the gravel into a pattern recalling waves or rippling water has an aesthetic function. Zen priests practice this raking also to help them focus their concentration. Achieving perfection of lines is not easy. Rakes are according to the patterns of ridges as desired and limited to some of the stone objects situated within the gravel area. Nonetheless often the patterns are not static. Developing variations in patterns is a creative and inspiring challenge.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409795864015165474" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 262px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguS3g0hr0PD0da6Ndfw0tApZeMJlg3IgHk8NENZNxOE25HPbsWijD0TuqDVpXp8GspQy66K8PCfavEuJaUBaY17MVIBbzxito6f1W-eabOHpaSpx1xTSM3_STN6-TbqsOvx9x-u3ewDbnm/s400/lcc03_jpg.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409796063138115154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 266px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi70DZaZjdK945AcNhxX4iqmSlOysWwj_tQglqDGF9gkentt5065mB-f_aTLJxIbNSsFrP6NhcD7PDo2nmMWbWAwU1-AxVgF09ura6rZRv4mhEgOgE2KVUkVpKUajyB27uAGYsDVcMKf7HK/s400/tree+hse.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409796051263696194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEGP-Z6E7hqyQbt9Hc5Nr5VYmVgYMwZnAz8rLEyT55Pki-qDHvdXOvSDmZ1d0Pm1U5b2M4tTgF3ZeXqPyf2GAE7hyphenhypheng_nbgmPVviCNnslM3uaqpuOOO8I-blGVP1dJbeAyhA7Z5buOvMCIJ/s400/7.jpg" border="0" /></p><br /><p>I was looking for some water feature ideas for our outdoor wet kitchen.

Made Wijaya, a landscape designer, said local designers should look towards the rich local culture like those in Kelantan and Terengganu for inspiration. “Hotels, the urban environment and now even houses have started to look more like microwave ovens,” he said at a talk during The Star Property Fair 2009 here yesterday. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG-3A9kQLr_76b1hgF08NfnwCYfRCmwM-i2aQZTZh47PdqtCITSH_zAGljH28xi8uCDBSwqgehURKJXcFXcC8M4rQOG8jkhGD_RfKhelTKrf8N96TDOVsvuwvZne0WmRkncCR-bRWmPxwI/s1600/WIJAYA.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409794250480625490" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 324px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 171px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG-3A9kQLr_76b1hgF08NfnwCYfRCmwM-i2aQZTZh47PdqtCITSH_zAGljH28xi8uCDBSwqgehURKJXcFXcC8M4rQOG8jkhGD_RfKhelTKrf8N96TDOVsvuwvZne0WmRkncCR-bRWmPxwI/s400/WIJAYA.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Sharing ideas: Wijaya showing Star Publications marketing services general manager Iris Tan and Kenny Heights head of marketing Jennifer Chow the design concept of Kenny Heights.<br />Wijaya challenged the housing industry to break out of its decades-old fascination with landscape designs that “looked man-made and machine-made.”<br /><br />“Some Bali exports have become soulless,’’said Wijaya.<br /><br />He said most external and some indoor designs tended to have the “new Asia zen garden design kit” comprising timber grills, U-spouts, leaking black walls and stepping Bali stones. “Someone told me that by 2050, Asians may have to look to Europe for cultural architecture if things go on (like this),” he said in jest.<br /><br />He noted however that making gardens and patios more natural looking did not mean that it would lose the modern and contemporary touch either. ID Benchmark Sdn Bhd art director Valerie Choi said one of the most important things in making a room appear larger was the choice in furnishing.<br /><br />“Select furniture with an open concept such as wide-legged chairs and coffee tables,” Choi said. One should also be aware of the traffic flow in the room by placing the largest piece of furniture and arranging other smaller furniture around it.<br /><br />These tips, she said, should be utilised by small space owners particularly city folks who live in high-rise buildings with confined space. She said owners should also stick to the principle of “less is more.”<br /><br />“Keep your apartment clean and simple. Clutter free is always stress free.”<br />She also said the easiest trick of the trade in creating a larger space - by using mirrors.Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02203765600587881163noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3948314599173453820.post-91969303411515633882009-11-26T00:56:00.000-08:002009-11-26T01:43:21.888-08:00Artistic furniture<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408342720395428130" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 261px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixCGgZ1g6W6b120o7xAzvIQCwkeINxbH3oODDRkmjNyadSwzkPa5SApz9q8gXMoiHvaGACaR0TjD8ZURbzMtyCPJGaKO2ZEv88yuVo_33JXzTZkWsKU46Ub7LIjc1sX26iafWXBgLw325N/s400/chaisehighres.jpg" border="0" />It’s a bit loopy, but the bent-wood ‘Artistic 4 Chaise’ fits the curves of your body within its unusual design.

Subtle sophistication, texture and clean lines help to define this style of decorating. Focus on color, space, and simplicity, your home will look sleek, fresh and welcoming.<br /><br />You do have to be a person who likes simplicity and clutter free to go with this minimalist look. If you are the kind who struggles to stay tidy (me!), likes you stuff everywhere around you, knick knacks and likes to display your collectibles around your house, this style will be a disaster for you. The interior design of the minimalist home should have fewer divisions to create a wide open space or an illusion of wide open space.<br /><br />However much I like the look of a minimalist style, I don’t think its suitable with me – who has so many stuffs around my house. To get the same look I have to modify the design a bit, and create more organized storage space to keep all my stuff, at least within reach. The trick is to look- really tidy, clean and totally clutter-free and wallah, you get yourself not only a relaxing, soothing and tranquil, but also a super, modern, cutting-edge look.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408307863932454354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 261px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvnlui7NkmmljHFT6n609XWzSfZVPt3SCztk7uvz9z5zo4YtwN7EMtZsuG2y3N-hNMrIvb0qjzBxIX8EnPeL1CgCSJIWS1c1_DTgen5yelYBP86Xr0iqqW8e2nQ2UhBAxF4tPOKPpRWeGw/s400/minimalist-living-room-photos-1.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408307883249560002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 226px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGMFCGkIl3OeASCn8nZF0l6LtWNNtFd-ZetemGLeo0rTTiElMMTgqDXYMFBCzRK5gS9kRrZnY53s0vxybWSpp81zEPav-_xA30QtJ60adaXbWupoHuP3bpWw2Lyti8e_X9jnntKbMOmaqH/s400/la-dimora-design1.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408307874011773954" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 361px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwrZtnDUU2cMizhmyFuPk-NAaBn4JImx0YFf8zGsCtYZI2u6h5og38L8Kkvr5TcJ9pphBi1jMEA25QVtiePFaW5ZCfl6RKTkZ_QjCPCWWg1AxlG5eSOdTBUQ6eNGbmdjAsZ4MyrSyBRr_t/s400/minimalist-interior-design-in-white-by-hoppe-architektura-2.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408307893594353442" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 273px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg97GvuZqcN4JCHjQisHrKSZR0zNDkJr3FTVQcftgPmk60gF_6zjnEurklnFjrpZ99CxtxlM0ztYBB1n9THq6-xnIunLUOqUgyWTYBT_OXQFhNBdDbPuKEP6zKUcX9be5_EM-Is5GpPvNFj/s400/Modern-Bedroom-for-Interior-Home-12.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408308172434658354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 283px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQwWR-5QFHGeilTzB25as2A6FfEsKYDADYNp68-S5a7Ne-m1MEENZRi4fUrjgJnacwBG1rYhRKgJz0gEx_piF2PWZo5Nz3Sg4CEURstaVgEELkPlnJ2U87euFcNH7GCFAGG5gKlzct4sxZ/s400/starckx.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408308164667806146" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 293px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8t6lTfLaFHKj9Lg4MUqngd3AsdDbiV7ySHVDqmWz58TaWzlGwBA-pETAkoOdAHRkqXyqfoEF5sD50bfrxH6pKI2Sb7YeEd_odB-Eg_xl6fHqMCoi6Azw2JyNswvYdQglGSWwvu10fhgG3/s400/no-5-house-living-room.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408308162206896274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfdXZKA7d9of6kOVG7NJlAIKe8R2nk8gxixrB-yboQlVy7DM0KC17ctdzrHtnULZgnIK1NhoP2GdBauNbtbPqTl5uOLtHAdGoeyuTW44JlCcrQGq8qzg25zPegqWIJJH3m0d1nPS5hyphenhyphenEce/s400/modern-minimalist-house-design-7-554x416.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408308156967480418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZaNZqqQzg4hWLWNUD-s8Xz_yDsskMEDHepP8q8yexsCkEznXPGVjCATH4YMYuZeFW1kJ1pIU3-YKozo9giDj3G_iz-sLnxniYz0eSIQcinjl6g5iJFjIbuS-DSlO8JUo6mlggulEpKYyN/s400/modern-minimalist-house-design-6-554x416.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408308175738037426" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 270px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi72vHT5EvIS80N4UNuafNk5KDDrG9rtE66qGDkjpPAlMctXsxDPniacjOTC-D-XRtnFp5tvbnMdmhq5tYi62w9QmXGopCQtZLfcwT_eMtI6FkmtYireWCP7dNKBHWXaVF2OBXIUwMqeGBd/s400/new-white-kitchen-design-2.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408307888929362610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 262px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbTyphnLOftDZIpDAyGGbiDo7dogXtrGHxRJ2_rANLasSqITDsjzC1AhTVJxNil5JEWhHKbhkYoot64uQ6RYmY_xOYBqKZmc6lDf-QWjUziuocz1SJfR5TLVL56sTX4ucoWsmKzq2SShk-/s400/minimalist-living-room-photos-2.jpg" border="0" /> <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div> </div><div>Tips to a minimalist – clutter – free house.<br /><ul><li>Neutral colors, black, grey and white are the main colors in contemporary style interiors. <strong>White is the ultimate color</strong> for a minimalist interior design look. White should form the basis of your minimalist decorating scheme – for smooth walls, floor and furniture. For a modern, softer alternative to white, try neutral colors, or colors found in nature – choose pale beige, taupe, stone or even green. </li><li>Your furniture should be classy-looking but <strong>streamlined and modern</strong>, rather than decorative or traditional in style. </li><li>Choose <strong>plain furniture</strong> in natural woods and leather, or go for bright colors, and ultra-modern chrome, glass and stainless steel. </li><li><strong>Glossy textures</strong> and straight lines are a great look for the minimalist interior design style. </li><li>Accessories are not a major part of the minimalist interior design look – the whole idea is to <strong>clear out the clutter</strong>, and have as little ‘stuff’ as possible on show. </li><li><strong>Storage</strong> is, of course, a very big factor. Everyone does have stuff – and uses stuff all the time – so to keep this look neat and tidy (just the way it should be!) invest in plenty of roomy storage (easily accessible!) to keep it all hidden away. </li></ul></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02203765600587881163noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3948314599173453820.post-59583419338289379642009-11-25T02:37:00.000-08:002009-11-25T02:45:15.986-08:00Iconic style by Molten & CAngelo Molteni’s vision in 1934 to create a full range furniture for the home is now realized 75 years on by the internationally renowned brand that Molteni&C has become. State of the art technology, innovative design (Nouvel, Foster, Dordoni, Urquioloa et al) and mastery of the challenges of scale are not allowed to obscure or dilute Molteni’s passion for the subtle, ‘hidden’ quality of craftsmanship – a combination we perhaps would call today - an air of iconic style with unmistakable class.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407989583064164306" style="DISPLAY: block;
