| Modular Cestone furniture by Antonio Citterio Posted: 02 Aug 2011 11:38 AM PDT There are a lot of modular pieces of furniture. In fact, if you've read some of our articles on the blog, you probably encountered this word quite often. It's because it has become a common feature and more and more designers have begun to create modular pieces. Even if it doesn't sound impressive anymore, today we present to you the Cestone collection which is yet another modular piece. However, this is not just any modular piece of furniture.
The Cestone collection attempts to combine elegance with functionality and it manages to do that successfully. If you take a look at the pictures you'll see that one of the first things you notice is the design and immediately after that you observe how comfortable that sofa really looks. Indeed, this is a very comfortable piece of furniture. It's a very soft and cozy sofa and, more than that, it's comfortable in an elegance way, thanks to the design.
You've probably already noticed those panels that complement the sofa. They are meant to provide support and durability and also to create a beautiful and contrastive visual impact. As you can see, the base matches the panels and the colors go very well together. It's a simple detail, subtle and yet eye-catching. The collection features several pieces of furniture that be combined in various ways, allowing the user to use its imagination and to adapt it to the space available.Available on flexform. |
| Amazing Apartment Interior Design With A Vintage Feel Posted: 02 Aug 2011 10:56 AM PDT There is nothing that can beat this apartment for its amazing interiors and well blended design layout. You will be pleased to know that every area of the house has been designed in a different manner, and yet they blend perfectly with each other and create distinct interiors.
The entrance of the house opens up to the spacious and bright living room, which has been characterized with old classic concrete flooring, high stone wall and wooden staircase. The high stone wall has been accentuated with a vintage style huge mirror whereas turquoise sofa with fine floral print, a simple side table and an animal area rug comprises of the seating area. The kitchen area and the dining space with a seating capacity of ten adults share a common floor plan.
The flooring of the kitchen is indeed very unique as wooden tiles with different geometrical designs make the flooring. The floral print delicate seats of the dining table have been completed with floral decorated plates on the wall for an exquisite decoration. To conclude, it must be mentioned that decoration and fine details have been given vital importance throughout the house for creation of distinct and beautiful interiors. |
| Posted: 02 Aug 2011 09:34 AM PDT After presenting some articles related to this topic, we decided to make a list of the 5 most impressive washbasins we could find. In case you were looking for something similar for your own bathroom, maybe this list will ease your work. 1. Kinea
2. Travertino
This particular washbasin doesn’t look anything like the first one presented here. First of all, the materials used to make them differ since Travertino is made of marble. It’s not just the material that differ but just about everything. Travertino is definitely not a standard washbasin. It has an uncommon shape that makes it special from the start. It’s definitely a modern, even contemporary creation meant to be included into a sophisticated bathroom, where stye and elegance is important.Available on neolith. 3. Iroko
Sharing a somewhat similar design with Travertino, the Iroko washbasin is also a modern creation and it’s made of marble, just like it’s bigger brother. It was designed for modern bathrooms, where style and looks definitely play an important role. It’s a very simple piece, the only thing that makes it stand out being it’s design. It’s a subtle but elegant way of designing eye-catching pieces without using pointless decorations.Available on neolith. 4. Gaja Dark washbasin
Unlike its earlier competitors, Gaja Dark is visually more imposing and also more masculine-looking. This impression is given by the shape that is basically a square and also by the material used which is stone. It’s an impressing piece both in terms of design and durability. It’s not as versatile as the Kinea washbasin for example because not any bathroom would make a good environment for such an item. So think carefully before making a decision.Available on neolith.
Sasso is another stone washbasin but this is the only similar aspect between this one and the Gaja Dark washbasin. Their designs are obviously different. Sasso is oval-shaped and the curved lines make it look more feminine and definitely more romantic than any other one presented here. One thing is certain: all these washbasins share in common simplicity, elegance and style. Some of them were inspired by nature while others were just meant to be eye-catching or simply functional.Available on MastellaDesign. |
| Posted: 02 Aug 2011 08:31 AM PDT What I like about the Americans is the fact that they are really proud of their nationality, even if they are in fact a mixture of nations and people coming from all over the world. This is great. And they are also very proud of the signs that show their nationality, especially the American flag that they wear on their clothes and paint on their towels, bed sheets, scarves and so on. Here is a very nice bath towel with the American flag design on. You can buy it on Amazon for just $14.99 and use it as a big bath towel or even as a beach towel that will help you get dried after a long bath.
This towel is entirely made of cotton, which is great, as it is perfect for absorbing the water dripping from your body. It is very soft and besides it is two-sided. It is printed in bright colours and the super soft printed velor side is perfect for wrapping into or lying on the beach. So go shopping! |
| Silver-Plated Bamboo Clock from Pottery Barn Posted: 02 Aug 2011 08:16 AM PDT If you have a stylish but sober living room, designed in black and white or maybe in dark shades, then you should try to get some out of the ordinary decorations, something that shines and glitters and draws attention through its simplicity and style. Something like this beautiful clock that has a natural bamboo design and is silver plated. It is square and simple, and its size – 5″ is perfect for any living room table.
This clock is silver plated, so it makes an elegant and precious decoration besides its functionality as a clock. Speaking of which: it displays time, but you can also use it as an alarm clock and this way you will never be late for school, office or any meeting. It works with a single AA battery that is not included in the purchasing price ($49) and you can find it on Pottery Barn web site. The clock also makes a great gift for your parents or grandparents or some other adult that you value. |
| How to Get Rid of Ants That Invade Your Home? Posted: 02 Aug 2011 07:24 AM PDT It’s amazing how these tiny insects have such a good radar and detect any source of food for them in your home and then invade the house methodically until they drive you crazy. And then you are so desperate and call for the exterminator and fumigator. But why get there when there is too late and the ants have built nests under your floors? You can prevent this and here are six basic steps of how to get rid of ants.
1. The first step and the most important in my opinion is to avoid temptation, meaning to always keep your home clean, so that it cannot offer any food for the ants. Sweep the floor even twice a day and this way the ants will not be able to find bread crumbs on the floor. Wash the dishes and keep everything clean and all the food sources in their place – fridge, cupboard, etc. 2. Keep the fruit and the sweets in the fridge or in air tight containers because they attract insects like magnets. If you accidentally drop sugar or honey on the floor use bleach to clean it as any sweet drop left is an open invitation for ants. 3. Even if it sounds cruel, this is very effective, so step number three is to crush the ant -scout. So if you ever see an isolated ant crawling up your counter, be sure it is only a scout which is looking for new sources of food. And if this ant scout does not return to the nest with the info, your house remains safe.
4. Seal your home. You may think your house is without cracks and holes, the ants have a different size and point of view and every little crack is a way in. So get busy and buy a spray with foam and seal the windows, doors and any other cracks you notice, even the space near the floor and the wall-plugs and this will make your home safer. 5. Use some scents in the house that the ants consider repelling like: vinegar, peppermint oil, cinnamon, black pepper, whole cloves or bay leaves. Place these in small bowls or hang the plants around the entrances. 6. Clean the floor regularly and stay alert so as to see the first sign of invasion. |

| Steel and Glass Medicine Cabinet from Crate&Barrel Posted: 02 Aug 2011 06:14 AM PDT You need storage containers or cabinets all over the house, but my opinion is that you need them more in the bathroom and in the kitchen. Bathroom cabinets are among the most useful pieces of furniture and you can use them for storing all the small items that you need in the bathroom and even medicines. This is a safe place for medicines since it is out of the reach of children and they are usually mounted on the wall. This particular steel and glass medicine cabinet is very chic and stylish and yet it has a very simple and modern design. As the name of the article says it is made of steel and glass, having one square glass door and one fixed shelf inside.

| KUB+ Coffee Table by Fabio Teixeira Posted: 02 Aug 2011 05:13 AM PDT There are several toys we all play with as kids and Rubik ‘ s cube is one of them. I remember having spent hours and hours trying to find the fastest way of solving this puzzle and I was simply fascinated by all the colourful facets of the cube that moved and changed their place only to have yet another colour puzzle. Well, this cube was the source of inspiration for Fabio Teixeira, a young Brazilian designer. He designed a very interesting coffee table that looks like an over-sized Rubik’ s cube. It is the KUB+ coffee table.
The coffee table is really colourful and, despite the first impression, is not glued together piece by piece. Actually the designer used a very interesting technique that uses wood dowel pins to stick all the pieces in one whole cube. The material of choice for this unusual table is plywood, a very modern and flexible material and the colourful facets are made of lacquered ink. This table is perfect as a coffee table, side table, living room decoration and you only need it to liven up the atmosphere in a gloomy room. |

The blanket design is a very nice copy of the famous Jolly Roger, the pirates’ flag with black background and a skull over two crossed bones. Furthermore, one of the eye sockets of the skull is covered with a pirate patch which makes it funny instead of scary, at least for me. The blanket is very soft and comfy, as it is made of warm polar fleece and it will keep your kid warm and safe during the cold winter nights. Purchase it now for 
The glass mirror is frosted and it confers it a special look and at the same time hides the things inside it.
