| Savana Collection of Crocodile Skin Tiles Posted: 27 Mar 2011 08:50 AM PDT When you hear the word savanna you immediately think about wild animals, about lions and antelopes, but also about crocodiles. Well, Savana collection from Petracer gives you the exact same feeling. Petracer is an Italian manufacturer or bathroom tiles and other things and this particular collection tries to bring an exotic air to your bathroom. You can see tiles that have a special print reminding you of zebra skin, but also a lot of models that look like crocodile skin.
It’s really unexpected to see this pattern on the walls of your bathroom, but at least you will know for sure you have an unique and original bathroom design. When you first look at the tiles you have the impression it’s actually crocodile skin from some expensive shoes, but it’s only a very well designed tile pattern. Even the colours are strong and vivid, reminding you of the strong colours and feelings associated to this part of the world. You can admire the whole collection and some others, too, on the manufacturer’s web site.

| Posted: 27 Mar 2011 07:06 AM PDT If you want a modern living room and also need to use some shelves, but some special ones, not just any kind of ordinary shelves, you should consider getting the Domino bookshelves from Porada. This fine Italian furniture manufacturer offers a wide variety of original and beautiful products. These bookshelves are made of glass, but it is thick and come in transparent or fume and it looks so good against a white wall. You can use these glass cubes that are supported by a metal pole to display different decorative items or books, depending on your wish and taste.
The metal pole of the bookshelf is fixed to the wall or to the ceiling – whatever is the place that you decide to use for placing it and after that you put the shelves around this pole. Of course, the glass cubes are fixed to the pole with the help of some rings that allow each container to be moved around it independently.
As you can see from the pictures, the size and position of the glass containers can vary a lot and you can use them in the living room for a modern design and a particular appearance of your home. The designer, T. Colzani, proves to have had quite a brilliant inspiration when creating this piece of furniture and you can use it to create your own style at home.

| Tip Over Dining Table from Porada Posted: 27 Mar 2011 05:15 AM PDT Nowadays everybody wants more and more and bigger and bigger. But the desire that most people have is to have more space at home. Whether you have kids or not you still need your house to be spacious, to allow you to walk inside without bumping into all kinds of furniture pieces. So the ideas that help you save some space are very well received. Here is a brilliant one: the dining table that folds and turns into a wall mirror. It’s the Tip-over table from Porada.
This table is so useful because it gives you the possibility to save a lot of space and also have a wide dining table available whenever you need one. You simply take the mirror down from the wall where it hangs and … there you go. It is useful in both appearances, as a big wall mirror is a woman’s best friend and also good help for a gentleman, as you can see your whole body and the way you look before getting out of the door.
The solution is very elegant because the table will not be stored somewhere where it also keeps some space open, but on the contrary stays in plain sight and can be admired and useful. I personally find the idea of the designer (Borgonovo) brilliant and I honestly congratulate the guys from Porada for the good work.

| Posted: 27 Mar 2011 04:17 AM PDT As a mother of two small kids I can tell you they are a bit like tornadoes, leaving a mess behind when they play or undress for bed. And if you want to ever teach them to put the dirty laundry in the proper basket or hamper, you should start by offering them a pleasant option, something they like. This will give them an impulse to do the right thing. One of the funniest things I have in the house is one of these rattan hampers that look like an elephant.
They are handmade or better said hand woven of wicker and the people in this business found a way to make them look like an elephant. It’s totally fun and creative. It is perfect for storing laundry because it also allows the air to come in and the funny design makes it perfect for the kids room. It is available in brown, honey and white and the purchasing price is $ 47.

| Decorative Plastic Bricks with Built-In Solar Lights Posted: 27 Mar 2011 01:50 AM PDT I like spending time outdoors, especially in the garden when it’s warm outside and you can finally have a moment of peace and quiet. But what I hate about this is the fact that I have to always use some tricks to also have light in the garden. I do not want to disturb the other family members, so I won’t use the porch light, so I need to use a lamp on batteries that run out rapidly. So I realized one day that I can use solar energy that is free and effective, providing enough energy for one hour without extra costs.
The name of this decorative brick made of plastic is Let’s Edge It and it’s basically a brick made of plastic for outdoor use. The most amazing feature of this brick are the built-in solar lights that get charged during the day using the sun light and you can use this energy at night without any cost. These bricks can be arranged in a straight line or make out curves and other geometric shapes, depending on your inspiration. You can buy a set containing 24 bricks, 4 lighted bricks, 28 plastic connectors, and 2 end caps for just $39.95 and you will feel like Dorothy following the Yellow Brick Road to Oz.

| Posted: 27 Mar 2011 01:13 AM PDT I think I was born in the wrong century. I sometimes feel that because people look at me in a strange way when I refuse to eat out of plastic dishes and to use plastic cutlery, even if we are on a picnic. I hate this. I like having dinner or lunch around a normal wooden table with all family members gathered round it, not each of us chewing a slice of cold pizza in front of their own TV sets or computers, strangers sitting under the same roof. I would like to turn each meal into an event, like they used to in the old times. So now I am looking forward for Easter to come to make my dream come true. And I am going to use the “silverware”.
Actually it is only silver plated but it looks really great, honestly. These serving pieces that come in a set give elegance and style to the Easter dinner and make the atmosphere really festive. They all have a vintage appearance and what looks like a time patina as if they were those tableware sets inherited from generation to generation. If you follow this link you will get to Pottery Barn where you can choose any of the available items that include: a serving fork, a serving spoon, a slotted vegetable spoon, a cake/pie server, a tomato spoon, and a small ladle. You can purchase each of them separately or in sets of three or six, whatever you like.

| Acrylic Coffee Table with magazine Rack Posted: 26 Mar 2011 02:56 PM PDT Nowadays there is a tendency to combine things and make them easier to use for your comfort and peace of mind. But we also want a certain kind of patient customers that won’t bug us if they have something to do. So you offer them or at least suggest them they should read the magazines displayed in the waiting room. And what better way to both show the magazines and also be functional as a table. This is the Acrylic Coffee Table with magazine rack.
The table is entirely made of acrylic as their material of choice and the funny part about it are the side part and interior “pockets” of the tables, where you can place all the magazines you have available. This model of table comes in smoke, black and transparent and they sell for about $350. This acrylic coffee table was specially designed for the purpose of displaying the results of their work and to bring a touch of modernism into your home.

| White Porcelain Easter Bunny Napkin Rings Posted: 26 Mar 2011 02:41 PM PDT I have always thought that when you have a family dinner this should be festive and well prepared, especially for Christmas or Easter. This makes it all the more festive and important and the family gathering will be regarded as a family tradition and important event. That is why all details must be taken care of, including the napkin rings that many consider useless. So, on these occasions, you use the special napkin rings you have been keeping in the drawer for quite some time.

| Posted: 26 Mar 2011 12:57 PM PDT You know that if you warm up your coffee in the microwave oven only the liquid inside gets hot while the ceramic cup or mug remains the same temperature. Well, I found that out the hard way when I did not know my husband already heated my cup of tea , so I drank a mouthful of hot liquid, thinking it was perfectly safe and cold. Yes, I know – it would have been better if I had been warned, but I hadn’t. But now, if you use this ingenious Heat changing Tardis mug you will know in an instant if the coffee or tea inside is hot or cold. That is because the mug changes depending on the temperature.
This mug is both functional and funny because you can actually “see” if the temperature of the liquid inside it changes. The indicator is a “Tardis”, a kind of blue cabin that disappears from one side of the mug if the water or tea inside gets warm and then appears on the other side. So it actually vanishes from a street situated in London and then appears in what looks like “outer space”.
So if you are used to the way it works you will know the exact temperature of the mug without having to touch it. It is an interesting concept and it feel quite thrilling both for adults and also children, turning the daily routine into a fun activity. You can now purchase this mug for about $10.99.
