Bedford Smart Technology™ Large Recharge Station

Posted: 27 Aug 2011 09:23 AM PDT

Technology is very useful and it does make our lives a lot easier. However, it comes with a cost, I mean nothing is perfect and you must also accept the less pleasant things about it. In this case you have a lot of gadgets that work on electricity or that must be recharged to a plug. So when you come home in the evening together with all the family members, you will have a lot of cords and charging stations spread all over the desk. You don’t even need to have a large family: if you have a smart phone, a tablet, a laptop and you also want to charge the batteries for your camera then you will see plenty of cords and wires all over the place. And this does not look very well, believe me.

In this case you might want to use this beautiful Bedford Smart Technology™ Large Recharge Station that is made of wood and is both very useful and good-looking. It comes in white, black or brown and it looks classy and stylish even if you use it for recharging up to six technological appliances at a time. You can’t see the cords thanks to the four holes that allow them to go at the back where they plug in. You can use different adapters depending on your needs. The station also has a nice drawer where you can store different things. And all this for this week’s special price of $64 at Pottery Barn.

A Bright and Lively 90 m² Apartment

Posted: 27 Aug 2011 12:23 AM PDT

It is difficult to renovate a place, especially when the object of your work is an old building. However, when you know exactly what you want and you have good designers to share your plans with, everything goes by the book. It is the same story with a 90 m ² floor that Dunia Garriga and Mario Calavera transformed into a house full of light that definitely impresses anyone.

The success was ensured by the addition of intelligent furniture pieces and the creation of passing areas. For example, the salon and the living are visually separated, but perfectly integrated; they provide a wide-bright space, thanks to the clarity given by the two existing balconies. Situated in an old building, the 90 m ² house gained amplitude and an optimization of the space, perfectly fulfilling the main objectives.

The new distribution includes everything you might dream of, when you think about a house: desk, salon-living, main bedroom and bathroom. The irregularity of the house gives the triangular shape of the kitchen; the furniture is perfect for this environment, the wooden pavement, the sliding doors and the wardrobes prove an intelligent manner of gaining as much space as possible.

The entire atmosphere is animated by the use of color, the various shades of daring red providing a unique mood, adding originality and personality to the whole space. Everything seems to belong to the pages of a magazine, a model of how to have a bright space, a colorful and lively home at the same time!{found on micasarevista}

Unique five-level home in Turkey

Posted: 26 Aug 2011 10:01 PM PDT

When you think of a five-level home you don’t usually picture a house made of nine separate pieces of property with a cave-like design. It’s definitely a unique property and it’s the home of American photographer Laura Prusoff and her partner Nurettin Mantar, a Turkish photographer. The two share in common the same passion and they also had a similar vision of what they wanted their home to look like.They definitely wanted something special and unique and that’s exactly what they got.

They first bough a piece of property in Cappadocia, a region in central Turkey, back in 1997. They bought a small dwelling carved into the volcanic rock of the hillside for about $5000 to $6000. They then felt the need to expand their property and did that cave by cave, until they managed to gather nine different pieces and a total of 14.000 square feet of property.

As the owners declared, many of these were absolute ruins. For example, the kitchen had no roof and the walls were falling in.They renovated some of them but some are still a work in progress.

Now the couple has a four-bedroom, five-bathroom sanctuary just for themselves. The renovation process was not easy and cost them around $150.000. they also have a small courtyard and a beautiful fountain surrounded by flowers and vegetation. The interior of their unusual home is colorful and very warm and welcoming. It has wooden cabinets and terra-cotta tile floor, tribal-style carpets and a lot of other interesting details. The couple also plans on developing a bed-and-breakfast inside their property.{found on nytimes}
