Design Lamp for Interior

Lights are elegant and minimalist is a very important part of the interior. It must be really suitable for the style of your home. And many manufacturers can offer a variation that was incredible. But sometimes less is more. As these lights are made by designer Jonathan Rowell.

Simple lines, two color but interesting ideas. You can correct the height of the lamp for your needs thanks to its construction. Apparently he says :

Color Inspiration for Your Home

Day 1 of "10 Days of Color Inspiration"; What are good colors to paint your rooms, and why? Living Room and Foyer: Warm tones like reds, yellows, oranges and earth tones like beige-they stimulate conversation.

Lighten Up!

Design Tip: Lighten up! The easiest and least expensive way to change the look of your home is by painting it. The earthy tones are back again, so think light greens, browns and blues, reds and oranges. Try Caribbean Coral or Sequin by Sherwin Williams.  

First Impressions

When choosing colors for the exterior of your home, don't forget the "rule of three". I recommend using three colors for the exterior-one color for the main,one color for the trim, and a third color for the door. The exterior of our home is the first impression or "curb appeal" that people notice about your home.

Even more important is the front door because that stands out as well. Having it an accent color will help to draw the eye to the door. Often I will choose a darker color for the trim than the main house color, and then a dark color for the door as well. An example of a color palette is a dolphin grey for the main house color, burgundy trim, and a blue door.

Painting your home can give it an entirely new look!  

What is an inexpensive way to change the look of a room?

I often get asked this question, "What is an inexpensive way to change the look of a room?" One way is color color color! Add one or two colors for the cost of a couple gallons of paint, and the room can be dramatically different. Rearranging the furniture and adding some accessories is another great way to make a quick change. I also love the idea of grouping some art together on a wall, such a birds or flowers. One easy way to do this is to take out beautiful pictures from a book and frame them with found frames (they don't have to match) or simple glass frames found at the craft store.

There really are easy and inexpensive ways to change the look of a room!  

Color! Color! Color!

This is a wonderful time to add a little color to you life! It is a relatively easy and inexpensive way to change the look for your home. If you live in the Northwest like I do, there is no better time or place to add some color to our gray days! Check out the wonderful line of Devine paint (originally made especially for the northwest) at www.devinecolor.com and add some color to you life today! 

Color Rules?

I had a friend who I complemented on her cute brown outfit. I told her I love brown, and wear the color and decorate with it too! She said that for 15 years she had strictly followed the "Color Me Beautiful" book popular in the late 80's and 90's. She was strictly a "winter", so she shied away from colors she loved, and wore colors she was "supposed" to wear, even if she didn't like them. Now, what freedom! She broke out of that...and is wearing the colors she feels good in. I love that! The same goes for decorating. Why should we be weighed down by colors we "think" we should or shouldn't decorate with? That is one reason I stay away from the trends. Because that is exactly what it is, a trend, and trends don't stay around for long. Instead, decorate with colors you love and that make you feel good. Not know where to start? Hire a designer-it's not as expensive as you think. A two hour consultation can actually save you money from all those "mistakes" in choosing the color. So, why don't you color your world beautiful!

Try a little color this Fall

In the Northwest, people often say we're "light deficient" in the Fall and Winter months due to our grey, rainy winters. What better way to bring a little color to those gloomy months than painting your homes' interior? Try www.devinecolor.com for these fantastic yellows; Devine Cream, Devine Butter (yummy!) and Devine Manilla. Not a yellow person? How about Devine Lil'Melon (a fun orange) or painting an accent wall or Dining room a warm red like Devine Saffron.

Color is one of the best and least expensive ways to change the look of your home.

Bruxelles Antiques: a home/ boutique in France

You must see this gorgeous farmhouse/ live-in boutique in the North of France! One family turned this large sprawling home in Ennevelin into a place to showcase and sell  some of the things they love. Filled with furniture, industrial objects and old pieces, they combined their passion for living in the country with selling antiques.  To me, this is the Belgian look done really well- not a touch of over-the-top or fake about the look.  I really love the stonework inside, especially the limestone mantel...and that kitchen! That brick vaulted ceiling is so unique. (This article with photos is from Cote Ouest some years ago, and the lower 7 photos are from the Bruxelles Antiques website.)

New Type of Effusion Lamp wicks!

If you read this blog on a regular basis, I'm sure you must be thinking that I dropped off the face of the earth. Actually, I'm still here and working on a number of projects. I've spent most of the past month trying to get organized-a never ending project in itself. FYI-I'm still not organized and probably will never be, but I do try.

I've been writing this blog now for several years and the most common email I get is always about effusion lamps. I know why-they can be tricky. The wicks burn out, clog up or the scent doesn't smell up the house, etc, etc. I've done so much research on these lamps that I really feel I finally know what I'm talking about.

I was surprised to get an email from Carol a few weeks ago. She was having some problems with her effusion lamp and needed some advice. She surprised me by mentioning a new wick that she is using-which I had never heard of. I seriously don't even know how long the have been around. These wicks have no stone either...... hummmmmmmm......this is soooo interesting. It starts instantly, which saves on fuel, and eliminates the 5 minute (sometimes scary) lighting of the stone. Called the "Platinum Wick", it can't clog or flood. It fits all types of effusion lamps and retails for about $14.95, depending on where you look. My only question would be: how long will it last? I can't answer this yet, but I will let you know.

I ordered mine from here because the price was right and they offered free shipping. I've had it for two weeks and I burn it everyday, so we'll see how it goes. Below are some step by step photos and a good look at the wick.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To start off: here is the wick, right out of the box.

Below is the lamp filled 1/2 up with fuel. Remember, don't fill over 1/2 way up-these lamps need oxygen to work. Pop in the wick and leave it for 10 minutes.

Above: the wick. Looks like something that goes over a chimney. Notice there is no stone with these new wicks. The stone is replaced with a metal grate that heats up during the process.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is the wick being lit.

Here is the flame that is created. You keep the wick lit for 30-35 minutes, a little flame appears for a few seconds and then you blow it out! The metal grate gets hot and the smell starts almost immediately. It's a big difference from the old stone wicks. I still like them and use them, but this new one appears much safer to use.

So there you have it. A new type of wick for the effusion lamps.

Here is my original post on effusion lamps which includes history, information and the fuel recipe.

FYI-I have purchased so many nice and inexpensive effusion lamps at this store in the local mall. Check their site and see if there may be one by you.

Making a Mosaic Table

Mosaics are very easy to do, creative and fun. Few tools are necessary and for the most part the craft itself is pretty inexpensive. I warn you now.........it's addictive.

You can use:

• broken plates
• glass
• broken tiles
• beads
• pieces of metal, copper, silver or brass

You can make a completely random design or plan it out by drawing it out first. You basically need a surface to work on, usually something rigid and free of dirt or grime. Examples: clay pots, wood (seal it first), a cement slab, glass or even ceramic.
Tools and supplies:

• Welbond is a great adhesive that most professionals use. The craft stores also carry tile adhesive especially made for mosaics. I've also used Elmers white glue and that worked fine for me.
• Tile nippers. You can find these at Home Depot, Lowe's or craft stores like JoAnn's & Michael's.
• Your broken tile or glass. I'm lucky in that I have tons of glass at home that I cut myself into any shape. I checked on Ebay and many people sell little glass squares of glass by the pound. They seem to run about $10.00 and up for a pound or two. You can also get an old thrift store plate, a towel and a hammer. Place your towel over the plate and smash away. This technique can also be used with tiles.
• Grout- I buy in the home improvement store. It comes in many colors so take your pick.

The way that I create a mosaic is to place a drop of glue on my surface then place my glass or tile square onto it. When my entire piece is all dry I then grout my entire piece.


This piece I recently finished for my good friend for her birthday. I thought she would like this to put out on her porch. The design is totally random. I placed the flower pieces in the middle and just randomly placed the rest of the glass tile around until I came to the end where I placed a border.




I decided to make a table in this case so before applying any tile I sprayed the pine with a sealer first. I learned this lesson years ago after making a larger table mosaic. A few days after it was completed it warped like a potato chip. Apparently the water that was in the grout absorbed into the wood. You live and learn..............................

Luxury Kitchen Remodeling

Old style vintage kitchen - Do you remember hanging out in your Grandmother's kitchen. Those were the good old days when a kitchen had character and it didn't have all sorts of high tech gadgets. If you want your own vintage kitchen, think about doing away with all the things that look modern and replacing them with old school ones instead. Simplicity should be the theme for this kind of kitchen.

Kitchen for chefs - If you like the clean white look of the kind of restaurant kitchen you see in the movies, you can try to model yours accordingly. This kind of kitchen accentuates the basics and when you walk in, it is clear this kitchen is for cooking! Usually there is a lot of stainless steel used for the cabinets, sinks, and stove tops and this is one of the more unique kitchen design ideas.


Comtemporary Kitchen Looks
Restaurant style kitchen - At some restaurants, you can get a glimpse of part of even all of the kitchen.

Think more about what things look like than how well they work because style is the most important aspect of this kitchen.

How to Easily Make your Dining Room Formal and Casual

For many homes that have a formal and casual dining room, the flexibility of entertaining and dining in two separate spaces is a wonderful option. For those home owners who have one dining space and have to juggle between how to make the casual space look formal enough for a dinner party, or the formal space suitable for everyday dining, there are several challenges. Luckily, there are creative tips to help you transform your dining room between the two without any worries!

• Assess your family’s dining style: The biggest challenge for versatile dining rooms is to assess your family’s entertaining and dining lifestyle. If you are a family that enjoys having big formal Sunday dinners then opting for a grand dining room table with a center leaf that can be removed for weekday dining may suit your family. While if your family spends most of the time grabbing quick bites to eat, and formality isn’t your lifestyle, than simplicity may rule over complexity! Whichever is your family’s style, make it versatile for you.
• Look to your chairs for versatility: Believe it or not the difference between one set of chairs and another can make all the difference of the formality of the room. By leaving the same dining room table formal chairs that have a straight high back or upholstered varieties will bring formality instantly to your dining table. If you’d prefer to have the setting feel casual, consider lower profile chairs with shorter backs, and more playful materials such as metal, wood or even plastic.

• Alter the decor around your dining room: Without touching the seating or the table use playful decor in your place settings, candle holders, and table linen to bring about formality or casual aesthetics. If you are entertaining adults one evening, a linen table cloth with attractive candle holders and formal china and centerpiece can transform your casual breakfast table! For a casual dinner with the family use natural woven placemats, unbreakable dishes and fun decor on the table to make an adult-only dining room now feel comfortable and familiar.

• Choose dining room colors to fit your lifestyle: For casual dining opt for lighter and muted tones to convey relaxing and casual interiors. If you prefer formality, consider using deeper tones such as deep burgundy, rust or burnt orange. If you want to keep the room versatile, opt for neutral tones of beiges, coffee brown, gray, white and black to help you dress up or down the space with little energy or thought. The easier you make your dining room adaptable, the more likely you will be to entertain and truly enjoy your dining room.

A versatile dining room that can go from formal to casual is an ideal layout for any home owner. The ability to change your setting based on your entertaining lifestyle and family daily life is important to enjoy your home. For ideas on how to decorate your versatile dining room look to fine furnishings magazines and online designers. You will be surprised what inspiration you can get from surfing the web. If your kitchen is the heart of the home, your dining room celebrates your family’s togetherness. Enjoy it!

What do you get when you cross a city loft with a mountain house? A little bit of everything, apparently.

What do you get when you cross a city loft with a mountain house? A little bit of everything, apparently. For a family spending summers in the pine-covered foothills north of Madrid, the combination meant modern comforts in a wood-beamed aerie with views of historic landmarks. Moneo Brock Studio's married principals, Belén Moneo Feduchi and Jeff Brock-who moved to Moneo's native Spain after a decade or so in New York-conceived the house to nod only vaguely to the local vernacular.
Starting with the entry at the top and stepp­ing down to ultimately reach a patio shaded by a wide cantilever, the house hugs its sloped site. The 4,400-square-foot structure is built on a nine-square grid, the central segment being a glassed-in courtyard. It's surrounded by strikingly original interiors for an Iberian chalet, bearing witness to Moneo and Brock's experience designing artsy, metro-casual living environments.

As a counterpoint to the heftiness of the concrete elements, green-slate slabs, and oak planks that unite the house with the rugged landscape, the kitchen is bright, light, and minimal. Delicate counters of white solid-surfacing, with integral sinks, run above cab­inets faced with acid-etched mirror-backed glass and pulls of extruded aluminum. Of the six bathrooms, the open bathing area in the master suite exhibits the most experimental tendencies. The focal point here is the 6-foot-tall panel of translucent striated resin that separates the bed's headboard from the tub. The latter has a surround of the same resin, punctuated by integral shelves handy for books. Turn left, and mirrors flanking the window above the double-sink vanity bring the pines directly indoors.

These novel flourishes have not gone unnoticed. BD Madrid picked up the kitchen system and produces it under the name Glasé, and the bathroom has drawn interest from critics and clients alike. This success reflects Moneo and Brock's ample experience with New York lofts. "We use a lot of Plexiglas and other translucent materials. In fact, we've done several baths just in Plexi, with lights behind. So we're experts," Moneo says-with only a touch of irony. Brock adds, "New York was great training for the rigorous use of materials and finishes, with attention to texture and color."

In terms of the design lineage of the mountain house, one senses the influence of Moneo and Brock's past work at U.S. firms known for surprising juxtapositions and urbane details: Smith-Miller + Hawkinson Architects and Robert Marino Architects, respectively. Moneo and Brock have also worked on the experiential, expressive buildings of her father, Pritzker Architecture Prize winner Rafael Moneo. In 2009, Moneo Brock made a big splash with the Termas de Tiberio, an Interior Design Best of Year Award-winning spa in the Pyrenees. That project was rendered in freely curving alabaster and marble. As a counterpoint, the current house relies on a carefully controlled orthogonality that makes a strong reference to Andrea Palladio's Villa Rotonda outside Venice.

Still, despite the right angles and straight lines, the house feels fluid, roomy, and imaginative, a sensibility that brings Moneo­ and Brock back in touch with their urban heritage. Is this purely design influence? Or a perhaps a wistful look back at their formative years?

Your home is, first of all, the house, and only after — «a style icon», thus original furniture fascinate, but also irritate.
