Creating a Home with Your Personal Interior Design Style

Creating a Home with Your Personal Interior Design StyleIn the Interior design of a home, there are many styles that are distinctive. Everyone can find a style that matches their taste, from funky and classic to casual sophistication and formal English styles. Our homes often become patchworks of different interests, ideals, styles, and cultures. More people are choosing to work with a professional Interior designer to coordinate all aspects of their home.

Have you ever walked into a room and felt it matched you perfectly? The minute you enter the space, you feel calmer and more at ease. Why does it have that effect on you? Is it the color palette, the furnishings, the flooring, the ornaments, or the structure? The goal of every home Interior expert is to design a space that creates this emotion. Before you even begin selecting fabrics and furnishings, you need to decide which style reflects your personality.

Some of the various styles include funky or classic, ornate or simplistic and bold or subdued. Although it may take some time to design your ideal room, you can see it as a progression and transformation that happens on a continuing basis. People naturally spend less time at their places of work as they get older, and consequently spend more time at home, which is why they desire a more comfortable and relaxing space that they enjoy being in.

The sense of style is typically seen in even the smallest details. Creating a coordinated home requires each detail, from lighting fixtures to paint colors and textures. This most often is done by initially taking inventory of the homes exterior. You will then need to consider various styles, such as contemporary versus classic, and American versus European. You may consider the assistance of a professional Interior designer to make your dreams into a reality that you will enjoy for years to come.

Besides the styles mentioned previously, you will also probably see Interior design services advertising "Feng Shui." Feng Shui Interior design is a concept whereby items are arranged in the home, such as color and elements, to give the space a sense of calm and well-being and help you reach your goals in life. Feng Shui involves maximizing space by clearing out the clutter and adding the five elements of nature water, fire, earth, plants and metal in varied forms and combinations to create a healthy, balanced environment. Regardless of the custom decorating schemes you select, the primary objective is to create a warm and inviting space.

Country Home Decor for the Heart

Country Home Decor for the HeartEverywhere you turn, there is a new idea of what your home should look like. Do you want the down home feeling of country or the rustic atmosphere of cowboy or western dcor? Do you want old items, new items or a combination? What about sunflowers? Do you have to have roosters, cows and pigs to have a true country style? It should boil down to what makes you happy and makes you smile when you enter your home.

Sure, you want your home to be neat, clean and a place where invited guess upon entering will say, WOW! But getting from the idea in your head to the final room design is a challenge at best. First, choose a room. We will choose the kitchen for this example. Second, what do you want to include in your dream kitchen. Start by listing all the colors, dcor themes and accessories, including types of furniture. Go wild and use that imagination. Now, categorize that list side by side to help you decide what you really want. Heres an abbreviated example:

Colors: off white, red, green Kitchen Dcor: applies, roosters, sunflowers Furniture: round oak table, old pie safe, vegetable bin Accessories: butter churn, old wooden ice cream maker, braided rug

The list could go on and on. However, once you start writing down your ideas, you will see what you will want and can start scratching off the items that do not fit into your final design. While this exercise can take days, weeks, months or even years until you really know what you want, it is possible to sit down and create a room design very quickly for the person who knows in her heart what she wants.

And that is where the heart comes in to play. Ok, so you fell in love with this gorgeous old round table but it is dark and dreary. Use some elbow grease, and refinish it. Now you have a wonderful oak table that needs a rug underneath it. Still going to put an old braided rug under your new creation? How about a rooster and apple rug that has a black background with red and green in it? So, scratch off the braided round rug and add that rooster/apple rug you saw in a magazine. Always remember to keep those pictures or magazine articles for future reference.

You need a centerpiece for that gorgeous table. You still would like to bring in some sunflowers but not sure where. Why not locate a rooster centerpiece that includes some sunflowers. Now, you can add rooster, apple or sunflower towels. Why not rotate between all three?

Using this approach in developing a plan for your home dcor, you can easily mix and match or change your mind as you find things in magazines or stores. Use this as a good excuse for an all day adventure to discover just what is hidden in your local junk and antique stores. Have kids? Make a list for each child to see what they can find during your travels. Involve the whole family in this process. You may just find a born bargain hunter.

The bottom line: make yourself and your heart happy! Enjoy life and your surroundings and when you do accomplish the final design, sit back and drink in the WOW comments from your friends and family.

Container Gardening Vegetables

Container Gardening VegetablesContainer gardening vegetables is an excellent choice for the home gardener who doesn't have large single area to grow in. Just about any vegetable will grow well in a pot. You can use any kind of container as long as it is the right size for the plant inside it.

In many ways, container gardening is easier than traditional outdoor growing. Potted plants don't have to compete for space as long as the pot is big enough for the plant. It is easier to apply fertilizer to the plant. Weeding is not necessary 99% of the time. Pruning and harvesting your plants is easier too.

All you have to do is follow these simple guidelines, and your vegetables will be very happy in their little pot.

Choosing the Container

The good news about container s is you can literally use any type of container that will hold dirt and water as long as it is big enough for the requirements of the plant. If you spend a few minutes looking around your house, you probably have 2 or 3 items that will work. Some ideas are 2 liter bottles, milk jugs, orange juice cartons, and even empty water bottles for small plants. Any of these can work, use your imagination.

Mainly you want to make sure that whatever type of pot or container you are using has drain holes in the bottom. Drainage is super important for potted plants. It helps prevent over watering and provides a source of oxygen the roots.

Avoid dark-colored pots if you can. They absorb more heat and that is normally a bad thing. Unless, you want your plants cooked before you pick them that is.

Dirt and Food

Okay so we have our container and now we need to prep it. Potting mix is number one on my list of soil choices for several reasons. Excellent drainage and aeration. Low compaction. Moisture retention. I want air and loose dirt for the roots. I also don't want the water to evaporate every day. Potting mix will satisfy these needs. Be sure to use "potting mix", not "potting soil". There is a big difference.

Feed the plants by adding a slow-release fertilizer that has the right mix of nutrients for the type of vegetable you are growing in the pot. Slow-release fertilizers will continue to add nutrients to the soil the life of the plant without the worry of remember to add more throughout the season. One less thing to worry about is a good thing.

Watering

Watering is the one area that many neglect, but you won't if you just remember that container plants need water more often. Check them everyday using the finger test. The finger test is when you stick your finger in the soil to about 3 inches deep. If the soil isn't moist 2 or 3 inches down, then add some water. Don't go crazy with it. A little each time works best for containers.

Another option is to use self-watering containers. For container gardening vegetables, self-watering is the way to go. It makes up the bulk of my garden. The main reason I prefer them is they don't need daily watering and it is impossible to over water my plants using this method.

You can make your own and many do. However, I think purchasing a well constructed container is the better choice for indoors because they are generally more attractive and that is important when your gardening indoors.

Follow these simple tips and your container vegetable garden is going to turn out great. Anyone can start one and have great results. I am sure yours will be one to envy.

Common Collectible Canes

Common Collectible CanesCollectors of canes, walking sticks, are mainly interested in the types of canes that were used as accessories in fashion over those used as orthopedic supports. Traditionally, individuals would choose to accessorize their wardrobe with the use of a cane. The canes quality was representative of the person's social standings, wealth and level of power within the community. This happens today in similar fashion with the jewelry, shoes, handbags and such. Reminiscent of how past cultures sought out canes today we seek out designer handbags and other types of fashion accessories.

Every collector and type of collection has their own unique set of "rules" per se on what makes a piece valuable. Cane collectors understand that collectible canes will often show some visible signs of wear as they were used by individuals on a daily basis. Antique canes are valued based on a number of things. The materials the cane is made out of as well as the condition, age, rarity, demand, authenticity and style all come into play when determining the canes worth.

There are three common types of canes that are collected: gadget canes, decorative canes and folk art canes. Practically all canes have four basic components that are universal: handle, collar, shaft and ferrule. When determining the age and authenticity of antique canes look at how the canes pieces are assembled, the way the parts are manufactured and the materials of what it is made from.

For instance, a proper ferrule is important in authenticating antique canes. It is important to note that folk art pieces are not included in this. Most vintage ferrules are created from bimetal, steel where the tip meets the ground and surrounded by brass sleeves. Modern canes may have bimetal ferrules however it is not the norm. Collectible cane tips will show some wear unless they have been recently replaced or the cane itself is a replica. Worn ferrules are usually a sure sign that the cane is an antique.

Another thing about cane ferrules that allows collectors to authenticate them is the way in which it is attached to the shaft. Vintage tips are secured to the shaft in a fashion that makes it almost impossible to remove by hand. The shaft and ferrule is aligned perfectly; if the edge of the tip is above the surface of the shaft this is an indication that the original ferrule has been replaced or is a reproduction.

For more foolproof tips on establishing the authenticity of antique canes check in with organizations such as the International Association of Antique Umbrella and Cane Collectors. Their main purpose is to collaborate and educate others on the art of collecting canes and related items.

Collecting Antique Canes

Collecting Antique CanesWhen it comes to collections it is possible that antique canes, walking sticks and gadget umbrellas might just be the most interesting collections of all. There was a time in history where you the streets were lined with well dressed ladies and gentlemen all carrying a cane, umbrella or walking stick of one kind or another. In times of yesteryear it was not for support that these devices were used but instead to accentuate an outfit, show a level of status and wealth.

Antique canes, from the nineteenth and early twentieth century's were often made from rare and unique materials. Materials like ivory, tortoiseshell, enamel, porcelain, gold, silver, various precious and semi precious stones were used to create rare walking sticks, unique antique canes and unusual gadget canes.

These items often told a story. The materials that were used, the carvings that were engraved and materials that were blended together all were used to express the history of the time. The events of the time were chronicled within these unpretentious accessories.

"Shadow canes" are a prime example of this. Upon first glance shadow canes look to be a simple stick in which the handle top is designed with concentric rings. When a light is cast upon the cane it reveals a shadow. The silhouette tended to be of a controversial figure of the time. Also known as the Napoleon Shadow Cane, as supporters of the dynasty used them to pledge their allegiance during his infamous exile.

Canes come from three basic categories: decorative, gadget and weapon canes. The most intriguing element of antique canes is that there is one that matches any interest the collector may have. A Faberge Cane is a style of cane that uses a combination of elegant materials including precious stones to create an accessorial piece. When it comes to those that are interested in music there are Dulcimer and Flute canes. This style of cane is incredibly rare and includes a system of working systems built directly into the canes shaft to create music.

A rare type of weapon cane that is familiar to most collectors is the La Diabolique. These canes were eventually outlawed. The stealthy sticks were used by wealthy Protestants during the Revolution. When someone in the crowd would grab the piece, the force would release little metal spikes along the shaft and would shred the attacker's hand. The owner of the cane could release the spikes by simply tapping the cane quickly on the ground.

There are so many stories to be told through collecting especially when it comes to antique canes, gadget canes, and weapon canes. To view more on cane collections check out antique cane collections online today.

Christmas Herbs

Christmas HerbsOkay I know it's July but they say Christmas comes earlier every year, and this year, as usual, most of us will be wondering how to get through the long shopping expeditions as well as stressing over the bank balance.

Not necessary! Give friends and family potted herbs to grow in the kitchen or plant outside. the following Spring. Herbs are always welcome as they are practical and attractive in the house as well as in the garden. Earn loads of Brownie points in the kitchen by adding fresh mint leaves to new potatoes!

At this time of year, you can often find herbs and small shrubs in garden centres at reduced prices. Make sure they are healthy though. Even the un-reduced plants aren't particularly expensive.

To save even more money, use your own plants. Take cuttings from healthy shrubs now, push cut end down into pots of fresh compost and keep warm and watered so that when you give them away as presents they are growing well and developing roots. I bought an aloe vera plant last year that has so far produced 8 new plants and the original is still growing well!

The best herbs to give as Christmas presents are perennial such as:

Aloe Vera
Sage
Thyme
Rosemary
Bay
Chives
Mint
Lemon Balm

Look around for different varieties. For example there is a new hybrid mint that smells like chocolate, and would be perfect to garnish an ice cream dessert.

Some herb varieties differ in the colour of flowers or leaves. Rather than buying the first one you see, check for healthy growth. If the plants are drooping or have brown leaves, discard and find a healthier one. The idea is you want to keep them alive and kicking until Christmas, after that they are their new owner's responsibility!

Keep the plants on a windowsill or warm bright place in the house and don't let them dry out. If you have to re-pot them, make sure the new pots are well-drained and use fresh compost to give them a good start.

Then all you need to do is buy a pretty container. Clay pots can be hand-painted with a simple daisy design and sealed with a clear varnish. Tie a bow round the pot and you have an instant Christmas present, that has taken you months to grow!

Choosing Cookware

Choosing CookwareMost people know that the quality of their food can make a difference in their health. But how many know that the quality of cookware is also important and can impact their health? It definitely can make a difference and I'm going to briefly explain why.

The main reason has to do with the composition of materials. Pots and Pans come in six categories: 1) Non-stick, 2) Aluminum, 3) Cast Iron , 4) Glass, 5) Stainless Steel and 6) Enamel-Coated. And there are variations in most of these categories.

Non-stick cookware is extremely popular and widely available. You can find high-end brands at department stores and on the Internet all the way down to dollar-store brands. But no matter what brand you pay for, you are risking your health using chemically-coated cookware. It does break down in high heat and can release toxic gases and particles into your food and into your environment. Think the heat isn't that high in every day cooking? Not so. Your cookware can easily get above 400 degrees on the surface in less than five minutes. Non-stick cookware is one of those "modern conveniences" that is in the long run not-so-wonderful.

Aluminum cookware is also very popular because it is very light-weight and it heats up quickly. It can also be inexpensive. Since aluminum is a soft metal that dents and scratches easily, aluminum cookware can be problematic. Aluminum does not belong in your body. It is not some kind of "trace mineral" that you should have--it is toxic. You may find cookware labeled "anodized aluminum." That's a little better because that means the aluminum has been treated to make it harder, less porous and more scratch resistant. But it doesn't 100% resolve the problem of aluminum getting into your food. If you have aluminum cookware or choose to buy it, my best advice is to keep it protected and don't let it get scratched or dented.

Cast Iron cookware is said to be beneficial because the iron can leech into your food. I'm not one who would promote getting your iron in that form, but at least it is probably harmless. I use cast iron frying pans and I have recently gotten a cast iron stove-top grill which I love. All of these are very well seasoned and most cast iron cookware comes with instructions on how to season them. One brand, Lodge, has a line of cast iron that is already seasoned. My son used cast iron for camping throughout his scout career and became the chosen one for preparing dinner for his troop. His specialty was peach cobbler made in a cast iron dutch oven. For some, a downfall to cast iron might be the fact that it is extremely heavy. Also it requires special care and attention so it doesn't sit in water or remain wet because, after all, it is iron and can rust.

Next is glass and I really don't think many manufacturers are making glass pots and pans--though I have seen some. Mainly we know glass cookware when we're talking about baking pans. I like them and I use them.

Now we come to stainless steel and there is a seemingly infinite variety of these and many decent brands to choose from. Growing up my mother had the old Revere Ware with the copper bottom. The first thing you should know is that stainless steel cookware has "ingredients." That's right! Just like food (sort of)! It is a combination of metals and/or sometimes a layered conglomerate of metals. For instance the stainless steel may be on the outside and the inside cooking surface with layers of aluminum and metal alloys in between. I highly recommend good stainless steel cookware and tend to choose the layered variety. My favorite brand is All Clad. That is a high-end brand but the quality is excellent. Regardless of what stainless steel cookware you invest in, you will still have to check the metal content and you definitely have to take good care of the pots and pans so they too do not get scratched and dented exposing other metals to your food.

And finally we have enamel-coated cookware which some say is the safest and best thing to cook with. The popular brands are enamel-coated cast iron which make them very sturdy but also heavy. Again you would have to take care to protect the enamel by following the instructions and making sure you use the right utensils so it doesn't get scratched. I would choose this cookware for preparing dishes with longer cooking times. Who wouldn't love a hearty stew cooked in a beautiful enamel-coated dutch oven? These types can also, by the way, go from stove top to table because they make beautiful serving dishes as well.

The best kind of cookware is cookware that suits your purposes and that you'll be able to enjoy using without compromising your health and the well-being of your family. Be prepared, no matter what you buy, to care for it, clean it and handle your cookware well because all cookware requires proper care and maintenance.

Here's to you and your future culinary creations!

Chicago Interior Design-Designing Outdoor Spaces To Be Luxurious

Chicago Interior Design-Designing Outdoor Spaces To Be LuxuriousPart of crafting a well-planned luxury home is ensuring the outdoor spaces are just as sophisticated and well appointed as the Interior spaces under roof. The secret is imagining the balcony, terrace or verandah isnt out-of-doors at all and approaching it the same way you would an Interior design challenge. Anchor your scheme with lavish, ultra-comfy furniture, art, lighting, sound, some great architectural detailing andof courselots of beautiful plants.

Time spent outdoors is when you relax, take in fresh air and let the surrounding world pass you by. Its vital that furnishings be stylish and noble, but equally important that they exude exceptional comfort. John Robert Wiltgen Design, a Chicago Interior designer that also specializes in outdoor spaces, recommends adding a piece of sculpture; depending upon the size of the space it can either become the centerpiece or can be tucked into a corner. You will also want some high quality in-ground speakers so that you can listen to music to lift your spirits.

Some great architectural detailing adds personality to your garden; it can be something as simple as a pediment over the exterior door or it can be something more elaboratea shed that looks like a Greek Temple with some moldings and columns. Once all of these pieces are in place then it is time to add lighting; it should come from a variety of placesin the ground and in the trees. And lighting does not have to come only in the form of something with lampsit could also be torches, tables with firepits, or tall heaters for your terrace.

High-end teak with oversized cushions is a popular starting point for quality outdoor seating thats cozy and chic while still being well suited to face the elements. Do not be afraid to mix it up a bit. Just like indoors, everything does not have to match. It is far more interesting to combine a variety of materials and textures. Make room for a glass-top or quartzite table and sculptural iron chairs for al fresco dining. An indulgent patio features ice buckets on stands, an outdoor television, a place for sunning, a place for those who dont like to sun, a gas grill, even a water feature. For those who wish to create a more private ambiance, consider a hedge or walled gardensimilar to the kind you find in Italy or the south of France.

Feel the warmth

Few experiences in life sooth like watching flickering flames on an open fire. Whether you opt for a full-on brick fireplace or an ornate gas-powered fire pit, adding an element of heat helps bring people closer together, even during the summer months. Homeowners short on space should consider investing in a gas firepit table; it could be a dining table, coffee table or both.

Be consistent with your color selections

So much of your balcony, terrace, or verandah is visible from the Interior of your residence so your color scheme should complement the basic palette of the rest of your home. There are so many choices in fabrics today that are suitable for the outdoors and yet so sumptuous; prints, textures, and lots of solid colors. Plenty of greenery is a must for any luxury terrace. Try to select the color of the leaves and flowers to blend with the fabrics and material selections of your outdoor space. All of these details are just as important as designing the inside of your home.

Twinkling lights

Take bold off the menu when it comes to outdoor lighting. Think lanterns, candles, torches and anything that sparkles. Electric LED faux candles are perfect for courtyards subject to a lot of wind.

Once night falls its all about relaxing and having a good time, so worry less about overhead lighting and more about accents and ambiance. Creating a mood is far more relevant than emulating sunshine.

Your own private piece of heaven

Friends will love coming over to your place for drinks and a bite to eat after setting up your little slice of paradise. Be sure to use heavy wine glasses so the wind does not blow them over. Cloth napkins always add a touch of elegance to your dinner table. Lush cushioned bar stools are a must and somewhere comfy for the bartender to sit while practicing mixology on you and your guests. Enjoy.

Chandelier Basics. Versatile Elegance With A Variety Of Applications.

Chandelier Basics. Versatile Elegance With A Variety Of Applications.One of my favorite topics is the chandelier because of its history as a method of lighting that was used before the sixteenth century. The earliest chandeliers were very basic, almost primitive devices that involved two pieces of wood connected together to form a cross. A spike was inserted at each end to hold the candles and a rope or chain was connected to the crosspiece and then suspended from the ceiling. As a former antique dealer, Ive found that nearly all of the earliest chandeliers were destroyed and very few authentic examples remain in existence today.

The chandelier found its resurgence in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and was found in the great palaces of Europe and America. They soon began to find their way into some of the more expensive mansions and private homes in this country and abroad and have been around ever since.

The industrial revolution provided the impetus for mass production of this once exclusive lighting fixture and today, chandeliers can be found in many homes and in any number of rooms in these homes. One of the major appeals of the chandelier is the drama it creates. It automatically lends character and a somewhat regal atmosphere to an otherwise plain room.

One of the major appealing characteristics of todays chandeliers, are their versatility. A kitchen can be transformed into a high-class dining area with the addition of the right chandelier. A large bathroom can be given an air of elegance with the installation of a chandelier. Some homeowners will even use a chandelier in the master bedroom to give it that special feeling.

Chandeliers are available in all kinds of styles, shapes and can be made from a variety of materials. Although the most common type of chandelier is made of crystal, faux candles and other types of lighting is also available. One of the best ways to find the style and size chandelier that will best complement your dcor, is to go online and look at whats available.

Keep in mind that the chandelier usually draws the immediate attention of a visitor so it should fit the basic dcor of your home. Proper sizing is critical. A chandelier that is too large for the space it occupies will overpower the room and may even lend a sense of claustrophobia to the visitor. On the other hand, a chandelier that is too small for the room just looks out of place regardless of its style.

Although most chandeliers can easily light an entire room, the result can often be a harsh or raw look. Many decorators prefer matching wall sconces and have both the chandelier and the sconces on dimmers so that just the right balance of light can be achieved.

Always keep in mind that chandelier and elegance go together conceptually. In fact, many consider a chandelier to be a piece of art.

Here are some practical considerations to keep in mind when looking for and eventually installing a chandelier. Sketch the room and include dimensions. Consider the size of any prospective chandelier in terms of the ratio of its size to the room where it will be installed. Some individuals fall in love with a particular chandelier, purchase and install it and find that it just doesnt work. This is usually the result of improper sizing.

with proven technologies. There is a major online movement
taking place with internet marketing. Entrepreneurs are
laying solid foundations to earn millions online.

Jay Kubassek, already a successful salesperson, focused on
creating a complete selling system. What he came up with
combined the capabilities of modern technology with the
latest Web 2.0 applications.

The system that Jay created attempts to eliminate a lot of
the guesswork from sales and marketing. Kubassek has tried
to throw out the human variable in sales by trying to step
around having to do personal selling, cold calling, and
lead generation.

While you have to admire the effort, what no one will ever
be able to do is remove the human element from sales. There
are very personal and emotional components that go into a
person's decision to buy. People don't buy from systems.
They buy from real people. If there truly was a 100%
automated system that existed like this on the internet,
everyone would be wealthy. The hard truth is that selling
and marketing online involves branding yourself and what
you have to offer.

Carbon Copy Pro works as a funnel system into the program
Wealth Masters International. Monthly advertising dollars
paid from members of the Carbon Copy Pro system are spent
to generate leads. Most people interested in getting
started with a home business opportunity are going to want
to talk to the person of the website that they are
investigating before they join. Once again, it goes back to
that personal touch issue. You just can't get that from a
replicated system that hundreds of people are utilizing as
a face plant.

While the Carbon Copy Pro system is not a scam, some of the
claims might be inflated. It is too early to tell whether
or not Jay Kubassek will reach his goal of creating 100 new
millionaires in the next 5 years. The honest truth that
any successful internet marketer will tell you is that
achieving success online requires educating yourself, not
being afraid of the phone, and a lot of hard work and
determination.

Brass Beds Vs. Aluminum Beds - Are Both Materials Sturdy

Brass Beds Vs. Aluminum Beds - Are Both Materials SturdyWhen you decide to buy a bed, you probably have a particular style in mind or at least a certain application for the bed. The question arises, though, when you've chosen the type of bed that you want, how do you narrow down your choices? If you are looking at metal beds, for example, how do you choose whether you want brass beds or aluminum beds? Both materials are sturdy and can work in a variety of applications, but there are some various criteria to consider before making a final purchasing decision. Here are a few tips to get you started.

If you are looking for a metal canopy bed, don't choose aluminum. While aluminum is an excellent material for some types of beds, especially kids' bunk beds where you need something lighter, easier to move, and less expensive so it's more easily replaced, it doesn't work well with a canopy bed. A brass canopy bed is preferable for several reasons. First of all, it just looks better. You may have to polish it once in awhile, but it won't get dull and rusty looking like aluminum. Also, aluminum bed posts on the canopy bed can get extremely cold, whereas brass, while still cooling off as metal tends to do, won't shock you should your toe touch it.

A metal headboard is a matter of personal taste. If you are planning on having a metal headboard (aside from wrought iron, which is a much more popular choice), again keep in mind the possibility of coming into contact with cold metal. A wooden or wrought iron headboard is more commonly decided upon, but if you must choose between aluminum and brass, brass headboards will take the cake any day. Again, you don't have to worry about flaking paint, rust, or other discoloration. Simply wipe off fingerprints and polish once in awhile for maintenance and shine.

A metal day bed is a great choice for a little girl's room. In this instance, you can use either brass or aluminum, since you may wish to repaint the aluminum as the girl grows into a young woman and changes the decor in her room. A day bed can last a long time in either material and blend well with a number of decoration ideas. This choice is based purely on personal taste, though price may become a determining factor, with aluminum being a less expensive way to furnish the room.

When looking at discount metal beds, you may want to stick with aluminum, as you'll pay more for a brass bed that is probably an alloy anyway. In order to reduce cost on the manufacture of such beds, the brass will be mixed with impurities and not be true brass, which can even compromise the strength and solidity of the metal, making it softer or more malleable. Neither of these properties is especially desirable in a bed of any kind. Aluminum, being less expensive anyway, will usually be as sturdy in discount beds as in higher-end models.

Big Builders Vs Small Builders-Who Is Better To Invest With

Big Builders Vs Small Builders-Who Is Better To Invest WithInfrastructure sector is at a boom in India and when it comes to Gurgaon and Faridabad this goes to the nest level. It is not an exaggeration to say that gurgaon and Faridabad are the fastest growing cities in india in the field of infrastructure development. Many projects are running and there is a vast list of upcoming projects in Faridabad. Builders are getting the pulse of these cities and developing new projects to provide residential and office space in gurgaon and Faridabad.

There are big names as well as small builders that are opening their projects in Gurgaon and Faridabad. Now the question arises here that what is the best decision- To invest in a project of a renound builder or to go with a small builder.

Here is a competition which can help you decide whose upcoming project in Faridabad and gurgaon can give you the best return on your investment.

Cost of the projects- this is the most important factors for the buyers. And why not it should be? They are about to invest their hard earned money. While comparing the two we can drag the following conclusion-

The upcoming projects in Faridabad of big builders are relatively costlier than that of small builders. You have to pay for the brand name if you are about investing with the big builders. But it is not only the brand name which is the factor for their high cost. Big builders are addressing wide range of needs in their projects whereas small ones are delivering exactly what is required.

Facilities Offered- when it comes to facilities, biggies are taking an edge on the small ones. They offer every facility in their projects including schools, club, gym, market and more. Whereas if you are going with the small builders you will have to take care of these things before taking a residence or office space in Gurgaon, and should choose a project in a location where all these facilities are available.

Return on Investment- At this point I give almost equal points to both only a slight positive edge to small builders. If you are about to investing in the upcoming projects in Faridabad, Big builders can give you better returns but they are of high cost. Whereas the returns on the projects of small builders is slightly low but one should not forget that they are relatively cheaper.

Benefits Of Leaf Mould In Your Garden

Benefits Of Leaf Mould In Your GardenAutumn Leaves

and returns the following year. It is at this time of the year when people start their bonfires. Whenever I see someone burning a heap of leaves, it evokes in me the same sort of emotions as would, say, the sight of seeing somebody setting a match to a pile of bank notes, or worse still; books. Not only is it contributing to our polluted atmosphere but its a terrible waste of a valuable resource.

What, in effect, this is doing is robbing nature of one of her most valuable assets. Deciduous trees shed their leaves for a very good reason; these bits of organic material rot down and return to the soil, replenishing nutrients that may have been washed away by rain or used by the tree

Dead leaves in quantity rot down very quickly, some faster than others and the end result of this sort of compost is called leaf mould. Leaf mould is one of the best of the soil additives known to gardeners, not only as a soil conditioner but it can be used also as a potting compost.

About two decades ago, I was privileged to find myself working on the restoration of the now famous Lost Gardens of Heligan project (with a team of volunteers; a cheery and boisterous band of various enthusiasts from around the locality*), as part of a horticultural course I was taking at that time.

(*what I like to recall as The Lost Hooligans of Gardening)

These enigmatic and somewhat mystical gardens, situated on the south coast of Cornwall in the south west of the British Isles, had been all but forgotten and neglected since the First World War and the project to renovate it was an enormous undertaking. The story of Heligan could and may well be the subject of another article but numerous books and TV series have been produced about this fascinating place.

Heligans purpose for the time being is on the subject of leaf mould. At the time of joining the team on this exciting project, we were attempting to unveil the many miles of hidden winding paths and walkways that meandered through the 300 acre site. The reason they were hidden is because they had been buried under nearly 100 years of accumulated leaf mould.

This task was made difficult because of lack of information as to where these paths were and not being able to utilise mechanical diggers for fear of disturbing the surrounds. For the most part, this covering of leaf mould averaged 18 in. in depth; quite an amount overall, as you can imagine.

I want to make a short pause here just to go into some detail about the break-down of various types of leaf. The leaves of trees such as Sycamore, Ash, Birch and other fast-growing examples tend to rot much faster than those of the majestic and venerable old timers like the Oak and the Beech.

At the other end of the scale, you have the leaves of evergreen ornamentals in the form of Rhododendrons, Camelias and Laurels, which take, well, years to de-compose. As most of the planting at Heligan Gardens consisted of the latter, plus a scattering of mature Oak, you can appreciate the quality of nearly a century of natures work in the transformation of these arboreal droppings.

With the consistency of commercial compost, this well- matured pitch-black substance was the equivalent of a horticulturalists diamond mine or Gold Leaf might perhaps be considered a more appropriate term.

And there was literally tons of the stuff!

Tim Smit, was the visionary mind behind the Heligan project and someone for whom I have a great admiration and respect for, not just for his grim determination and tenacity in the face of seemingly over-whelming odds; not to mention a shortage of funds (I was just one of about a dozen volunteers at this stage) but for his sincere warm-heartedness.

After a bit of negotiation and a few pints in the local inn he kindly agreed to my loading up my little trailer from time to time (volunteers perks, I think we called it), with this marvellous stuff in order inject some life into my hill topped, wind-swept and rather exposed garden.

It was after that point that I took more than a passing interest in the benefits of leaf-mould

Bedroom Furniture For A Single Woman - How Sexy Should It Be

Bedroom Furniture For A Single Woman - How Sexy Should It BeOh the sense of freedom when you first have your own room to decorate! Most women love to decorate and make their room their own, so finally having your own space out of your parents home is a joy unlike any other. But what type of master bedroom furniture should you have in your bedroom? If it's too sexy will it be a turn off? Is red lace going a bit too far?

College Dorms

If you are moving out of your parent's home and onto campus you may be a bit upset at the size of your room. Many dorm rooms are extremely small, and the college cares more about how many bodies they can cram in one room than they do how spacious the room is. You can consider a dorm practice for your real first bedroom! Get comforters and pillows that you like, along with any wall art or photos that you want to have on your wall. These are all things that you can bring with you when you finally get to choose your affordable bedroom set.

Personality or Pizzazz?

Once you get your own bedroom thoughts will be rushing through your mind. You may immediately think of splashing the entire room down with your favorite color. Beware! Some colors just aren't meant to go on walls, and others are very difficult to match. Hot pink might look great on a mini-skirt but will look extremely bright on your walls. Remember: you're going to be sleeping in this room, so you will want to make sure that it is not painted so brightly that the color is visible at night!

Instead of your favorite colors, think about your personality. If you're someone who enjoys watching "chick flicks" and cries at a sappy commercial, you will want to go with soft lines and pastel colors. If you enjoy watching sports and live for wrestling, go more with the darker colors. If you're a woman who enjoys both sports and the occasional sappy movie, you may want to mix dark colors with soft, curving lines! Choose colors and shapes for your bedroom furniture that truly represents who you are, both inside and out.

Sex, Sex, Sex

Many people believe that single men think more about sex than single women do. This is rapidly becoming disproved! Single women have needs as well, and it is only natural that a single woman would want her room to feel as sexy as she looks. You may, however, want to stay away from red and black lace. Bold, deep colors portray sexiness even better than red lace ever could. Deep, curving bedroom sets and lamps that have a low light can make a woman's bedroom look like the second most attractive thing in the house. Don't forget about the bed! Look for large, sweeping headboards and footboards and go for comfortable pillows and a sleek comforter to complete the look.

Bedrooms are a very important piece of a single woman's home. It gives her a place to find sanctuary, a place to rest, and a place to enjoy men to the fullest!

Bathroom Mirrors

Bathroom Mirrorsare the showpiece of the room and can add a spectacular difference to any design all together. Bathroom mirrors if placed in good fashion then it can show epitome of beauty to the bathroom. Once you consider of bathroom mirrors, they barely take to mind the quintessence of fashion. More often a handy necessity than a uncanny form, the mirror often gets lost or just forgotten in bathroom decorating activities. Decorating a bathroom mirror may be a little be wildering but with endless possibilities it can offer the stimulation for the entire decorating idea in the bathroom or it can be the uttermost splendor of a superbly festooned room. Whether you have a mirrored vanity or a flat mirror, following are a few suggestions that could create your looking glass a glass appeal looking at.

When bearing in mind the decorating options for mirrors, you have to remember the purpose of the entity and keep enough viewing space to still use the mirror. You will also have to obtain into reflection opening ability if its a vanity, what type of lighting is on top of the mirror and how close the mirrors frame is to any other objects. Now that you have those things in mind its time to look through a small number of options.

This first suggestion is engraving your mirror. This is a great thought because it can be used on either a smooth mirror or a vanity and you dont have to be concerned about whether it opens or where the lights are. The one drawback is that it is enduring, so be sure this is the look you want before start. You will need etching cream, a new craft paintbrush, a craft knife and clear contact paper. Decide on the pattern you want etched into the glass and draw or trace it onto the contact paper. Choose an item from your shower curtain or wall border or a nice flower border that complements your design. The sky is the limit for engraving patterns. Once you have your pattern on the contact paper, cut the design out with the craft knife. Peel and stick the contact paper on the mirror with the cutout where you want your engraving. Be sure the boundaries of the model are firmly adhered to the mirrors surface by smoothing around them with fingertip. Now, following the directions on the container, apply the etching cream to the mirror with the paintbrush. When it is finished, based on the time provided in the directions, wash with warm water and remove the contact paper. Now you have a tradition mirror with very little cash or effort!

A fun idea for dressing up a flat Bathroom Mirror is to enclose it, either with a custom cut frame or rough-cut lumber, again depending on the appear you want to attain. This thought requires figuring out how much room you have between the mirror and any object, together with light fixtures, mounted around or above it before you decide on the type of frame material you want. When you have your dimensions, visit the frame shop and decide on the frame material you want. It may take a couple of hours or a couple of weeks to get your frame, depending on the shop. Once you have your structure, place it around your mirror (you might need an extra set of hands for this) and nail it in place with finishing nails (make sure the nails are long enough to go from end to end the frame and into the wall). Cover the nail heads with identical putty or spread and presto instant artwork! The process is pretty much the same if you are using rough-cut hobble except you will need to plan on staining or painting the timber. Or, if you have a lot of gap around the sides of your mirror you can rise shutters to give the room an outdoorsy, spring window feeling. Old shutters can often be found at tick markets or traditional stores. New shutters can be purchased from most construction supply stores or hardware stores.

Basement Interiors Ideas and Themes

Basement Interiors Ideas and ThemesHaving a basement at home can be utilized in a number of ways and all it needs is some careful designing and utilizing the accessories in the right manner. A home can be made to look more beautiful with a simple basement and a small sized basement can work wonders to the home.

With most of the people feeling bad about less space at their place, Interior decorators and other architects always try using even the smallest corner of the home to make it appear beautiful. This helps to give it a better feel and satisfies the need of a bigger home.

Tips to have a spacious basement

* One best way to make the best use of a basement is to always have it adjoining to some bigger room like a living room. This would help it appear spacious and also it can be converted to a guest room, as well.

* To give a spacious feel to the basement, it is suggested to use light pastel colors like white, pink and other bright tones.

* Avoid using darker shades like red, black etc, as they make the place look more small and congested.

* Using the horizontal patterns for walls would make it appear more spacious.

* It is also recommended that rather than separating a basement from rest of the home with a solid wood door, it is good to leave it open or else use a glass and slider door as this gives a less closed look to the basement

* Another important aspect to be considered for a spacious basement is that never to include several accessories and equipments. This makes the place look more cluttered and consumes the required space.

* A basement should be constructed at a position where some sunlight can easily enter the space. This keeps the area ventilated and also gives ample amount of natural light to the room.

* As basement is the lowest part of a home, it must have water proof roofing and flooring. This prevents the room against a number of water leaking problems.

* The best uses of the basement can be made by converting it into a living room or a mini home theater system.

* As this part of the home is going to have less of light, so effective and efficient lighting schemes must be chosen.

* Diffused light conditions can be given with different types of low power bulbs. This gives an ambient and relaxed environment to the place.

* The use of spotlights would further enhance the area and give it a different appearance.

People have been found adding some room plants to this part of the home so as to keep it clean, green and ventilated. Apart from this, a homeowner can also use the basement for storage purposes. It is not necessary that it needs to be a different room. A basement itself serves the purpose of storing room. This part can be used to dumb all junk items and keep the rest of the home de-cluttered.

Autocad 3D Chamfer

Autocad 3D ChamferOne common method of adding realism to a model created in Autocad's 3D interface is to add a chamfer or a fillet to the edges of the object. A chamfer is generally a machined-angled surface added to the straight edges of an object, most commonly at thirty or forty-five degree angles to the flat planes of the object. A fillet is a rounded edge machined in a similar fashion, and described by a radius. The purpose of both fillets and chamfers is to reduce any imperfections caused by the cutting and tooling of metal machine parts. When we see these artifacts on an object created in a 3D modeling program like Autocad, our eye interprets them as belonging to a real objects, and subconsciously lends an air or realism to the model.

In the example shown here we have a metal bracket with notches, grooves and holes cut into the various surfaces and planes. We have added fillets and chamfers to the edges to lend this air of realism. The bracket itself was initially created using the standard Box tool and punching in the values for width, height and depth. Then a variety of Boolean operations, such as Union, Subtraction and Intersection were applied. The three boxes are joined together using the Union command. Then more boxes representing the grooves were added to the initial bracket shape, then cut out using the Subtract command.

The hole in the bracket's base was created by adding a cylinder and projecting it through the base. The Subtract command was also used to cut out the hole. And finally we wish to chamfer and fillet the edges. To do so we first select the Chamfer tool from the Modify tab at the top Ribbon panel. Next the user selects the individual lines which make up the edges to be chamfered, completing the selection by clicking the Enter key on the keyboard. Autocad then asks for a distance or angle - here we could type in 2, for example, and hit Enter twice. This means that the distance along each of the two perpendicular surfaces adjacent to the edge will be 2mm. We then click the line or lines again and again hit the Enter key. The chamfer of 2mm on each side of the edge should appear, cutting away the original edge.

The Fillet tool operates in a similar manner; the tool being found stacked behind the Chamfer tool in the Modify tab. In our example shown here the top edge of the overhanging lip was filleted using a radius of 2mm. The edge or edges are first selected, and the Radius value is entered.

In this way a sense of realism can be employed with smaller 3D models, especially after highlights are picked out when realistic lighting and materials are added to the scene. For larger models, however, like architectural or Interior design models, adding too many chamfers and fillets is not recommended since this increases the file's size and rendering time. In such cases often the edges closest to the camera only are filleted and chamfered, leaving the further details alone since those edges are blurred anyway by distance.
