The Lord Byron Wooden Side Table Posted: 21 Mar 2011 10:48 AM PDT I have always been a fan of mystery books and I have always read my eyes out ever since I can remember. So I remember visiting an old castle last year and the tour guide asking us if we could tell which of the books in a bookcase were false and used only to cover for the secret passage into a tunnel. I guessed because I saw the pile of books seemed to be glued and the books did not seem separate from each other. I had the same feeling when I saw this nice inspiring side table manufactured by the joking guys from Design Toscano. The table is called The Lord Byron wooden side table only because it seems to be made of books that were written a long time ago, maybe during Lord Byron time. This table only looks like a pile of books because it actually has a drawer and two doors that open at the front with two golden handles. It also has wheels, so you can move it from one place to another. It is the perfect gift for someone who loves literature and has a good sense of humour, but also has a living room that can accept this unusual piece of furniture without making it seem out of place or just dropped down from a museum. I personally love it and it only costs $235. Well, you can always match it with this nice bust of Shakespeare for some extra $29.95.

Portable laptop desk from Logitech Posted: 21 Mar 2011 07:48 AM PDT Lapdesk N315 was created by Logitech in an effort to increase the comfort of those who use the laptop on a regular basis, either because they have to or they desire to. This clever design allows you to use your laptop on the couch, in bed, in the park on ever in the bus if you really have to, in a way that offers you comfort and in the same time protects your laptop. It even has a retractable mouse pad for those of you who need it. It has a thin light design so it is not heavy, neither uncomfortable to carry. Also, the top is washable and anti – slip. It seems like the Logitech crew thought about everything, including the price which is acceptable, in my opinion. This item can be purchased for $ 29,99.It's a very simple and practical design that includes the most important aspects. There are no additional details, not even additional colors. Honestly, I don't even think you need more than it already offers. This piece is meant to be practical, not fancy.

Suggestions For Wardrobe In Small Apartment Posted: 21 Mar 2011 06:51 AM PDT Do you live in an apartment that features small bedrooms with limited space? Well, if this is the case, then it is assured that you must be finding it really tough to accommodate enough storage space for your clothes and accessories. On the other hand, the problem is assured to be a bigger one if you have a large collection of clothes. No need to worry anymore as there is a myriad of small wardrobe options specially designed for small apartments. Let us now look at varied options available for wardrobe for small apartments – Sliding door wardrobes – Sliding door wardrobes are an excellent choice for small apartments featuring limiting space for storage. These wardrobes are so efficiently designed that you will not feel deprived or inferior. In addition, they are compact in size and offer adequate storage capacity. The only difference between sliding door wardrobes and the typical door wardrobes lies in their style of opening. As the doors of sliding door wardrobes are to be slide and not to be opened in front, there is no requirement of free space in front of the wardrobe. Therefore, the sliding door wardrobes can be introduced in any part of a room without having to worry about the space available in front. Built in wardrobes – Every room is known to feature some corner or wasted space due to its odd placement or shape. This corner space along with adjacent space can be easily used to create built-in wardrobes for small rooms. The built- in wardrobes work amazingly for small rooms as the functional space of the room is not used, and a lot of space is saved. The arches and the curves of the corner space can be effectively used to create storage space. It is best if you can work with an interior designer to decide upon the designs of your built-in wardrobes. Full length wardrobes – if the available space is very limited and there is no other option but to introduce a typical wardrobe then consider introducing full length compact wardrobes. The full length wardrobes come up to the ceiling and hence there is no wastage of space. The space in the above portion of the full length wardrobes can be used to store frequently used things such as raincoats, sweaters, caps, handbags and more. In addition, the bottom part can be used to store shoes, slippers and socks.

Norway Green Roofs Posted: 21 Mar 2011 04:20 AM PDT A green roof does not mean a green roof as some might think of us, it’s a roof covered with vegetation like a garden.Using vegetation on roofs is not a modern invention, this option is currently a alternative to a less polluted environment. A smooth surface like a lawn or a green roof tend to absorb noise rather than reflect them as do other materials or construction.Also studies by German professor, Gernot Minke have shown that green roofs can reduce the effects of electromagnetic radiation. In winter, the soil layer above the membrane roof provides additional insulation. For example, in areas such as Scandinavia homes are well insulated.Regarding the protection against cold wind that can provide a green roof or a facade covered in ivy, this could be a considerable economic value.
