| Elegant and comfortable armchair from the Jeff Zimmerman Collection Posted: 19 Apr 2011 06:47 AM PDT And here’s another example of an elegant and somewhat traditional armchair. It’s called Sonia and it’s part of the Jeff Zimmerman Collection By Key City. It has a royal design that can’t get unnoticed. A very interesting aspect is the designer’s attention to details. Notice the beautiful sculpted details from the legs. It’s not something that you see very often.
The dimensions of the chair are 32″W x 30″D x 40″T. It features a very…soft and comfy velvet upholstery. It’s only available in one color option and that is fuchsia so that might be a problem. But I’m sure the ladies will love it. The design is rather traditional but very stylish. One thing is certain: it’s going to be a very comfortable piece of furniture. And I think the name is appropriate too. Sonia…when you think about a person named Sonia you imagine someone not very fun but elegant and stylish, that has very well defined goals and who likes to plan lot. At least that’s how I imagine it. The price of this armchair is also royal: $1,899,00. |

| Smart House by Terry and Terry Architects, The Choy Residence Posted: 18 Apr 2011 10:14 PM PDT Located in San Francisco, California, this 1960′s box house was ready for a transformation. Terry and Terry Architects created an open plan space and Chris Choy Design made it a warm and welcoming place to land.
The architects knocked down some of the existing walls and parts of the roof, in order to flood the house with natural light and improve circulation. The upgrade of the home also shelters the rear deck and the openings at the middle floors from wind. They also added a light shaft through all the levels to illuminate the walls.
The designer kept neutral tones throughout the entire space, making it feel an airy, open space. The house’s personality is given by the massive amounts of wood used and by the simple, yet slick furniture. The heart of the home is the living area, which is open to the kitchen and dining space. Furthermore, it is also a smart house because it features photovoltaic solar panels and rain water collection. In other words this house is an exhibition of contemporary living. |
| Original Flying Saucer Fruit Bowl Posted: 18 Apr 2011 08:12 PM PDT Although many UFOs proves have appeared, like the images of some flying saucers or other strange appearances, the testimonies of those who have seen them, some odd and huge forms on the fields that look like some drawings, even the presence of some lifeless aliens, none of all these have made me believe in their real existence. But you never know maybe there is some grain of truth somewhere.
For those who are attracted to things related to UFOs, here it is a nice and original kitchen accessory that they may like. It is a flying saucer fruit bowl. You can use it as two bowls because it opens into two or as one covered bowl that looks like a real flying saucer.It is made of natural Acacia and it is an original kitchen accessory design which looks funny and will satisfy your UFO tastes.Available for 250$. |
| Artistic treehouse studio in Scotland Posted: 18 Apr 2011 05:40 PM PDT We often read about cases when artists feel the need to get away for a while to find their inspiration, their muse. And what better place to go to than in the middle of the forest, where it's quiet, peaceful and beautiful. That's exactly the idea at the base of this amazing structure.
It's a truly unique, not to mention location for an art studio. The structure is very simple so that there will be no distractions during the meetings and the creative process. I think this type of structure could actually accomplish the purpose it was built for, which is to provide the artists with a space where they could unleash their ideas and creativity.{found on dezeen} |
| Tips to identify good quality leather furniture Posted: 18 Apr 2011 04:07 PM PDT Leather has always been one the most stylish and desirable choices of a myriad of homeowners who are looking forward to decorating or improving their home. However, ensuring that good quality leather furniture is being brought will mean that the proper investment is being made, and the furniture shall render services for years to come. And the easiest way to ensure the same is to conduct a thorough check and ask the retailer some important questions.
Question the retailer about the animal from which the leather comes from. Leather comes from different types of animals such as sheep, cattle and even ostrich. However, the quality of all the fabrics is not same. Mostly, leather from cattle is known to be durable, whereas lamb leather is known to be more soft and comfortable. Depending upon the use of furniture, you select the type of leather.
Smell the piece of leather furniture in order to identify its quality. Needless to be mentioned but fine leather gives off an appealing and rich smell. So, if the leather furniture gives a similar smell, it is most probably good quality leather. Inferior leather furniture will give off decayed or chemical smell. Touch the piece of leather furniture in order to feel the texture and grains. Good quality leather furniture will feature noticeable texture, grains and fat wrinkles. Keep in mind that good quality leather is full grain, supple, clean, and clear. On the other hand, low quality and highly processed leather furniture will feature a plastic kind and stiff feel.
Carefully review the entire piece of leather furniture. If the entire piece of furniture is made from a single piece of fabric featuring no joints or sections then you would definitely would desire to ask that from where they did they find such a huge animal. Also, look for subtle marks that distinguish natural fabric from synthetic ones. Sit on the piece of leather furniture so that you can actually test the furniture properly. Ask the retailer, whether the furniture is made from full leather or half leather. Many furniture pieces have real leather on the outward surface and fake leather used inside the furniture. Real leather will be warmer to touch in comparison to synthetic and manmade materials. |
