| Posted: 18 Sep 2011 09:36 AM PDT As soon as you see this loft, you notice the significant role the light plays, the respect for space and the pieces with character that seem to be obligatory in order to get the generally ideal atmosphere. The first impression is that of a comfortable environment, a warm and welcoming air in a white space.
This authentic home belongs to Barbara Aurell, designer at Espacio en Blanco (White Space), the concept of whiteness being sustained by her own house. It is situated in the neighborhood of Garcia de Barcelona and its main objective was that of taking advantage of the 70 m2 space on two heights and, at the same time, of the natural space offered by the entrance window. The 20 m2 yard gives clarity, the space offering a harmonious line from the entrance to the living area and creating a pleasant atmosphere that makes you feel at ease.
The general air is that of an industrial loft with white walls, but without loosing the character of home. The interior provides an intelligent combination of vintage and modern decorative objects that reveal the personality of the owner (the sofa, the chaise longue are only a few details that contribute to the general character.)
The light definitely occupies an important place, offering a distinctive ambient (both the natural light and the light offered by the lamps).The whiteness of the walls makes everything seem more spacious, while the shades of red and the contrast with black add a tone of personality to the house.{found on micasarevista} Subscribe to Homedit's Feed to get constant updates of our Awesome Posts!© Homedit- Daily interior design ideas ! | Permalink to A Double Height Loft |
| How to Make a Nice Table from a Tree Log Posted: 17 Sep 2011 01:41 PM PDT Well, the hardest part of doing something yourself is to have the idea. After that, even if you are not very good at this kind of job you can learn and follow instructions. So the idea of making a table or a coffee table from an old tree log or stomp is the best start. The rest is just inspiration and work. Now the next important step is to find a tree log and clean it carefully, removing all materials like dirt and leaves from it. Then let it dry in the sun and try to adjust it a bit, so as to stand all alone and also be able to support the tabletop and whatever you will place on the table.
Then lacquer the log and let it dry again. You will have to find or make a tabletop in the meantime. Look at these pictures and choose the one you like. For example you can simply place a round or square sheet of thick glass and glue it or secure it to the log somehow. I personally do not like this combination because the log is totally natural and the glass is obtained by industrial processing, so they do not go together very well, but some people might like the idea.
Or maybe, and I think this is best, you can use a :slice: of a thicker log as tabletop and bolt it to the log and have a great table for outdoors. Or you can even use a round or square or even rectangular board as tabletop or place some more boards together as tabletop, as seen in the above pictures. It has a rustic look and it’s cheap.
Or finally take it very seriously and turn your work into a work of art. Use logs that look in an artistic way and create something unique. Hm, I still have a backup solution for the clumsy ones with a great taste : buy the item made by professionals. ($1500 for the coffee table in the last picture).
