Once the winter holidays are closer every corner of our house gets a special touch of them. Although we refer to window wreaths, decorative candles, miniature or big Christmas trees or other Christmas decorative items everything is touched by the magic spirit of these wonderful holidays. Sometimes the way we decorate our house reflects our mood, personality, preferences or even hobbies.

Those who love things that are simple but nice here is an idea of creating a DIY Miniature Christmas Tree which can add a certain holiday touch to their interior design. Though the process is very simple you still need some materials like: thin wooden rails, small saw, hot glue gun, some white paint, a small brush and a glitter star. The result will be a lovely Christmas tree that you put it on any table or other place you choose and enjoy your work and its beautiful design.

Sometimes these simple things are more practical and seem to bring us more joy than some sophisticated, extravagant and glamorous items. It is said that we should enjoy our small, happy moments of our life which make us feel really accomplished and truly human. Try to fill your house with such creative and simple things and see how much satisfaction and happiness can bring you!{found on decortrunk}

Some people like things as they are but some people won't stop until that particularly thing fully matches their personality and taste.All it takes is imagination and some time.Because this is a preponderant home make activity it doesn't cost very much either.We have an expample here of two bathrooms make by Kella MacPhee and Kate King.

They are part of that kind of people who got tired of the dark monochromatic neutrals and decided to make an original makeover.Kella's bath for example looked probably like other half a milion small bathrooms, now it looks modern stylish and with a laid back tropical island vibe.

Great colors and patterns are combined with dark wood touche, industrial metal lamps and pluber's pipe fixture.The vintage signs are amazing and perfectly integrated into a fresh modern design with playful notes, transforming this tiny bath into a little fun world.The second colorful, salvage-inspired bathrooms from Kate King is a great example of mixing entique elements with modern bright colors like this beautiful cherry red used to paint the door and the light fixture and the oceany turquise color from the old glass manson jars.

The room seems to appear super clean and crisp the only thing contrasting with that is represented by the old metal baskets which are also great for storage.Never be afraind to use bold colors in decorating, you never know when a beautiful stylish design would result.{found on designsponge}

Beautiful Deer in Snow Pillow Cover

Posted: 18 Dec 2011 05:16 AM PST

A few years ago sending Christmas greeting cards was one of the things that people loved to do. I was fascinated by the multitude of models and images that I could admire on these greeting cards. Sometimes I could not even decide to pick up some models. They were just beautiful and terribly attractive. The snow landscapes, the Santa Claus' images with his sleigh, sparkling decorated Christmas trees were some of my favorite designs.

Now the things have changed and e-greeting cards appeared but the difficult thing for me is that I cannot find some free time to send them. Although they are more animated and perhaps more colorful I still love the old Christmas cards which brought so much joy.

If you love all these things and you want to bring inside such an attractive image of an greeting card you may choose this beautiful Deer in Snow Pillow Cover. It will complete your Christmas interior design and will bring more sensibility to your ambiance. The image represents a wintry scene of two does and a snow covered pine reproduced from a 1920s holiday greeting card. Some of its features are: dimension of 20" square, zipper closure, the fact that is imported, made of cotton and perhaps more important its attractive price of € 23.61.

The stylish Velcucine by Gabriele Centazzo

Posted: 18 Dec 2011 04:36 AM PST

Velcucine has always focused on client satisfaction. This is the way it's supposed to be but it's rarer that you might expect. Anyway, this is a new creation from the same company. It's a very stylish and also functional kitchen collection. It has been designed by Gabriele Centazzo.

The design is very simple. In fact, it's the same minimalism that we often see in contemporary creations. It's the traditional kitchen unit but simpler and more functional. It's also more stylish and colorful. Using traditional designs as a model, the creators of this unique piece managed to perfection a few aspects in order to improve the interaction between the user the kitchen.

This is the new back section from Velcucine. It's able of containing and concealing, when necessary, all the kitchen equipment including the dish drainer, weighing scales, small appliances, removable cooking receptacles, bottle-racks, power sockets, a monitor, a kitchen roll holder, the tap, hooks for utensils and even a cooker hood.

This way you can have everything right there when you need it but you can also hide everything when you're not using it. It's innovative, ingenious and very functional. It's a design that would easily complement any kitchen but it would look best in larger areas. Still, you can adapt it to your own home.

Modern “S” Shaped Radiators

Posted: 18 Dec 2011 02:24 AM PST

Those of us who live in any corner of the world in which sun is not present and shines all the time at the same intensity and thereby temperatures drop a few degrees and reach a certain limit, are familiar with heating devices.This can be a simple stove, a fire place or more modern heaters.These nowaday heaters use hot water circulating through a sistem of pipes very close to each other.

This radiators are very often a non cohesive element in different interior settings.If is such an important part of our homes and usualy it comes in standard square forms painted all in white why not make it in various shapes and colors or combinations of shape and color? Some people thought of that and succeeded to create smooth and harmonious radiators.Available in multiple shapes and colors these radiators can not only blend perfectly into the desired plan, but it can be a decorative item by itself.I would love a big empty wall wearing only the curved shapes of side by side piping, painted in gray and black tones.

This suddenly interesting item can be availiable for you in a single "S" shaped strip painted in almost any color or it can be mounted in two opposite "S"strips forming an interesting weave .The engineers and designer from Arbonia did a great job with this Entréetherm collection of heatears, inovating the design of such a common product.

The New Colorful MSN Office in Santa Fe,Mexico

Posted: 17 Dec 2011 08:00 PM PST

Prodigy MSN was looking for a new office space and they decided on an area in Santa Fe, Mexico City, Mexico. They chose to collaborate with Space architects. The project’s architects were Juan Carlos Baumgartner LEED AP and Fabiola Troyo del Valle LEED AP and the design team was formed by Marcos Aguilar and Francisco Montoya. The office covers a surface of 800 square meters and it has been completed in august 2010.

The clients has few but very clear requests. They wanted an open and bright space (like the future of Prodigy MSN), a series of multi-purpose space and LEED certification for their new office. Of course, they got everything they wanted. The whole project is open and bright. The office is filled with natural daylight and the workstations are low and have translucent boards. A glass box has also been included in the project. It’s a more private area, also occupied by offices.

In order to solve the multi-purpose space problem, the architects opted for a versatile design. The office includes a sort of reception area where employees, client and visitors get together. There’s also a coffee bar there. This area is not physically separated by the work spaces in any way. Most of the meeting rooms are also located there. And the final request has also been solved. The project saves more than 20% of the water, saves 20% energy and complies with the standards of energy efficiency that LEED recommends.{found on archdaily}

Bright and stylish Swedish residence

Posted: 17 Dec 2011 05:00 PM PST

This residence is a perfect example of equilibrium. It includes contrasting elements but in the end everything manages to look uniform and beautiful. The residence features an overall striking Swedish décor with lots of creative and casual details. There are some very interesting decorations in this residence. Some of them are funny while others are just elegant and chic.

One of my favorite ones has to be that giant mural over the TV unit representing a rhinoceros. It's one of the humorous decorations. Other are less striking but equally interesting, such as that lovely sleek lamp from the living room, the striped black and white rug from the same room and those creative giant flowers by the sliding glass doors.

I especially like how little striking details have been strategically placed all over the house. For example, the ceilings are simple and plain but the decorative moldings are definitely adding a little spark to this place.Also, every room has its own creative and colorful decoration that makes this home unique. Another interesting detail is the fact that there are partitions between rooms instead of doors.

It's an original residence, with a bright and creative interior design and lots of interesting details and decorations. Even though there are lots of Swedish elements in the design of this home, it's impossible to certainly say which style is predominant. It's safe to say that this is an eclectic home.{found on Bjurfors}
