| A Guide To Select The Perfect Wall Color Posted: 04 Nov 2010 10:54 AM PDT Colors are known to give life to anything and everything. It is used to express thoughts, energy, emotion and many other things. It is the color of the wall of the room that imparts the background for the design element. The selection of the wall color is very vital as it is going to either make or break the overall atmosphere and look of the room. As all of are aware that colors are often addressed as cool and warm. Pink, red and orange is considered to be warm colors, whereas green, blue and violet is considered to be cool. Try to ascertain the purpose of the room before deciding to go for either of warm or cool color. For instance, social rooms such as dining room, living room, or kitchen fare better with warm colors. Study, hallways and bedroom are calmer areas and look better with cool colors. On the other hand, beige and white are considered to be the safe colors as they possess a neutral look and are known to suit all sorts of décor.
No matter which color you select, make sure to add contrasts in colors. Painting the entire room from ceiling to the floor in a single color will give a very monotonous look. Painting the trim is the ideal way to add contrasts in color without the need of painting a big section of the room in some other color. Paint the window frames, doors, and moldings in space. The wall color should match with the furniture. Either you can get the walls painted first and then buy the furniture or buy the furniture first and accordingly dress the walls. If your furniture has a cool and light tone then you should select cool colors for your walls such as pink or green. On the other hand, if your furniture bears darker shades then the walls should wear muted colors such as beige, white or gray. The finish of the paint also contributes equally to the end result. You can choose between texture, matte or gloss finish. If you desire to create more drama in the room and desire a bright look then settle for gloss finish. A matte finish reflects less of light and hence reduces the glare and the drama. You may also go for a semi – gloss or semi – matte finish or combine gloss with texture or matte with texture.

| Posted: 04 Nov 2010 10:03 AM PDT I am not afraid of the dark or something like that, but I still like to have a small light on when I wander around the house at night looking for a glass of water or checking the kids in their bed. But apparently it is a bit hard to find the perfect lamp that could be at the same time handy and easy to lit and also to spread a diffuse light that will not wake my kids up. After a few minutes of research I found the perfect gift I can give to myself and this is the Ctrl desk lamp. It is an useful night lamp, but also a funny gadget to have on my desk, as it constantly reminds me that I am a computer addict and this is a funny way of admitting it.
This funny lamp has the shape of the Ctrl key from your computer keyboard and it is available in white and yellow. It casts a soft and warm light and can be bought for just $19.90 here, at Gadgets4all. It is very easy to use, as you only have to press it if you want to turn it on or off and it also makes a very good and funny gift for your computer geek friends. It saves energy, too, as it has a LED that works on a very little amount of energy and you can even leave it on the whole night without having too much energy spent. So stay in Ctrl and have fun, too.

| Posted: 04 Nov 2010 09:30 AM PDT When I first moved to my house and I started having guests, they brought me different house-warming presents that were usually something useful for the house. Well, my best friend brought me an unusual present – a nice doormat. She said that it is necessary, but nobody else would think of getting one, so that was exactly why she brought one for me. Any way, I still have it and I love it, but I also found some very funny and unusual doormats on the Internet that can be purchased from different online stores for fair prices. They are all made of resistant materials that allow them to remain exactly the same after a long time without wearing out and falling apart. Most of these doormats have a rubber backing allowing them to stay fixed to the place where you put them and do not slip away. For example the doormat that you can see in the picture above is made of recycled rubber and weighs 3 pounds. It costs $30 and can be shipped in two days. You can order it online and make sure you have an original present for your friends with a sense of humour. It is clearly an allusion to the “enter” key on the computer keyboard, but you can also take it as an invitation in the house.
You can visit Meninos or Cocomatsandmore if you want to purchase or only to see some other funny doormats like the ones presented here. They will bring a smile on your guests faces even before entering your home.But make sure all your friends have a strong sense of humour and also make sure you don’t leave the following two doormats at your door when you invite your in-laws for a visit.
