Twin bookshelves by Zeynep Cinisli

Posted: 29 Nov 2010 10:36 AM PST

Normally furniture is made to be permanent and not changed ; I mean it is not dynamic. However, every once in a while some imaginative designers dare make some very original works that can be used in time, even if the conditions change. For example these twin shelves by Zeynep Cinisli actually look like a wardrobe when they are close to one another. You can store anything on the shelves inside, but once you separate the two halves of the wardrobe, you realize they are actually linked by three bookshelves that can be expanded when you have a growing book or CD collection.

The inside of the two halves is painted in blue in order to make very clear that the wardrobe space – which is totally white – ends where the blue border begins and you can bring the two separate halves further and further away from one another until the end of the boards that are stored inside the wardrobe.

But apparently there’s more to it than simply a wardrobe split in half – it stands for the twin halves of Istanbul, the only city in the world that is located on two continents – Asia and Europe. Even though the two separate worlds may seem very different, they are actually very much alike. So if you buy one of these beauties you will get a piece of furniture and a metaphor for the same price.

The ottoman from Ligne Roset

Posted: 29 Nov 2010 08:52 AM PST

I was a bit curious the other day to find out the origins of the name “ottoman” used for that soft chair that does not have a back rest. I have encountered these chairs many times on the specialized web sites and I wanted to know where they came from . Apparently they have their origins in the Orient, in the a footstool that was used back in the Ottoman Empire – today’s Turkey.  But if you adjust them a bit or simply use them as they are they can be very useful and comfortable pieces of furniture around the house.

Look at these nice Ottoman chairs from Ligne Roset! They are so lovely and nice and you can see from the picture just how comfortable they are. The back of the chair is a bit upwards, so it replaces the back rest in a very convenient way. These chairs and sofas do not have any legs and you simply lift them up and put them in another place if you want to move them in another room for example.

The picture at the bottom shows you a sofa the same model produced by the same manufacturer and designer and I can say it looks really nice. Of course it is perfect for the living room and your guests will simply love it. Some people looked at the model in the middle of the ottoman that looks like a stylized maple tree leaf and suggested this design would be specially made for Canada, considering its flag that has a maple leaf on. Well, I don’t know about that, but I simply love the chairs.

Benefits of wireless doorbell

Posted: 29 Nov 2010 08:03 AM PST

Technology advancements have made our lives much easier. New innovated products are launched every day and affect our daily lives. One of the products that must be mentioned is a wireless doorbell. In the earlier days, a simple doorknocker was enough to intimate the house owner about the presence of an individual at the door. However, today house owners desire to install various alarm systems in their home.

Wireless doorbells are gaining popularity as they feature an array of varied options, and owners are relived of the hassle of complicated wiring. Wireless doorbell functions through a transmitter that sends a coded signal when the outside button is pressed. There is a myriad of advantages of having a wireless doorbell in place of the wired one. Some of the main advantages are listed below –

a) Easy installation – Unlike the regular doorbell which requires proper wiring and installation, wireless doorbell is very easy to install as it does not require any wiring. It can easily be installed by a five year old child. All that you need to do for installing a wireless doorbell is to connect the receiver with an appropriate power outlet and simply hang the doorbell unit outside the door. Needless to mention, but the doorbell must be hanged in a secure place in order to prevent theft of the unit. The easy installation makes wireless doorbells a popular choice among people, especially those who live in rented houses and often need to switch places.

b) Portability – The bell part or the receiver of a wireless doorbell is portable and can easily be switched to another location if you are shifting in the house. This is really helpful if you are spending most of your time upstairs or in a portion of your house where the doorbell sound does not reach easily. You just need to plug in the receiver in the location you desire the sound of the doorbell to ring. Moreover, some wireless doorbells even allow you to set multiple receivers and connect them to a single outdoor button.

c) Price – earlier when wireless doorbells were launched, they were priced very high and could not be afforded by the common man. However, today wireless doorbells cost almost same as the wired doorbells, which make them easily affordable. A standard wireless doorbell can be purchased for as low as $20. Wireless doorbells make excellent back door bells and people are also opting for them as a second doorbell for the house.

Stained glass pieces have been in use since decades. Earlier, they could only be seen as church and museum windows. However, today they are used for a variety of purposes from mirrors to lamps and other decorative pieces. Stained glass is known to embellish the interiors of a house and make it fascinating. Spectacular elegance can easily be imparted to all parts of a house with the use of stained glass. Whether it is the kitchen area, living room, bathroom, bedroom, basement, office or entryway, all can be decorated with stained glass.

If you desire to make improvements to your living room with the help of stained glass then use stained glass for partial window panels or complete window panels. Stained glass as a screen for the fireplace looks simply mesmerizing as endless colors can be seen through the prisms of the glass.

Dining rooms can easily be enhanced by the introduction of chandeliers. Instead of the traditional chandelier, try to hang a chandelier made out of colorful pieces of stained glass. Stained glass top with 3D effect as a center piece also looks exquisite.

Stained glass jewelry boxes and candle holders are also known to add grace to the bedroom. You may also make your mirror decorative by making use of stained glass designs at the edges.

You can use stained glass to improve the aspect of your bathroom too. Enhancements such as custom made stained glass pieces in lieu of wooden drawers and open shelves can be used to enrich the look of the bathroom. Mirrors with stained glass pieces also offer an exciting and rich look.

Kitchen is one area where you can introduce stained glass in a myriad of ways. Use stained glass for the cabinet door for an appealing effect. You may also use a stained glass window panel and thus allow the outside light to show the colors within. If you're window panel is very large, you may opt for stained glass corner or sun catchers. The addition of stained glass in the entryway or for the complete main door is assured to amaze each and every visitor.

Stained glass offers you the ability to personalize your office area also. Stained glass panels used for cabinet fronts and drawer fronts enhance the look of the formal area.
