Heart shaped pool

Posted: 01 Feb 2011 10:46 AM PST

I know when Valentine’s Day is approaching without having to look in the calendar for this because I start seeing heart shaped things all around me: heart-shaped cakes in the sweets shop window, heart shaped balloons in a bunch in front of the toy shop, heart shaped flower arrangements and so on. This is a sign that the annual love celebration has begun. But some people choose to celebrate love all year long and they decide to build unusual swimming pools in the shape of a heart. These pools are very romantic and nice looking and also functional and fun. For example this one is built in fron of the Heartbreak Hotel, opposite Graceland.

Actually this shape can be a great idea if the space you have available for your outdoor swimming pool is not suitable for having a round or oval shape, so better than having a totally irregular pool, you can choose a heart shaped one. I admit, it’s totally and sickeningly sweet, but some people love it or they get used to it in time. I personally would love one.

Printable wallpapers – printable wallpapers are definitely going to rule the interiors of a home this year.

Creating a dramatic statement with these wallpapers is definitely going to be very easy. In addition, they can also be installed in areas such as guest rooms, entryways, corridors, closed balcony and staircase.

Metallic – It is doubtless that metallic designs are highly attention grabbing. From rich bronzes and sharp silvers to soft gold, metallic wallpapers are a fantastic way to add decadence and instant glamour to a space.
Hand painted wallpapers – for those who prefer decent look and design, for them hand painted wallpapers would be the ideal selection. Some reputated companies are also planning to offer the opportunity to customers to select their preferred designs and placing orders for their customized wallpapers.

Nature inspired earthy and green tones – besides the above mentioned wallpaper trends, nature inspired earthy and green tones are set to rule the base color of the wallpapers.  As these colors are neutral, no colors shall clash with it, and the wallpapers can be easily pasted on the walls of any area of a house.

Other accessories in the bathroom such as waste basket, tooth brush holder, vase (if any), etc may also be selected in brown color so that they coordinate with the other elements. Display a rug on the floor of the bathroom. A rug in tan color or with a geometric pattern in brown shall break the solid pink color of the bathroom and impart a unique look.
