Running faucet shaped stand for tablets

Bogdan — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 10:41:37 +0000

ELECOM designed a incredible tablet stand, called JAGUGHI, that’s shaped like a running faucet, and your tablet actually stands on the dripping water. It’s an awesome Christmas gift and an unique eye catcher in any coffee shop or teahouse you’ll go and use your tablet.

It comes in two colors, blue (I personally like this one better) and clear, and you can buy it here for $59.99.

The same design was used for smart phone stands, but with 2 extra colors: white and black.

Unique city for older people in Arizona

Bogdan — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 14:44:10 +0000

Sun City is a great place to visit, play & retire, as the official website describes this community for active seniors. The infrastructure of the city built on 14.6 square miles (37.8 square kilometers) is amazing, describing lots of curved geometrical shapes, and winding or circling roads that connect the neighborhoods.

It was built in 1960 and currently, the population is of nearly 40.000. The only rule to live in Sun City is to be at least 55 years old.

There are a lot of benefits to live your late years there:

low cost of living
great medical facilities
fitness centers
7 public pools
16 commercial centers
11 golf courses
2 libraries
7 recreation centers

But probably the most important aspect is that the criminal rate in Sun City is 0!

This can be a good thing and a bad thing, depending on the day. So maybe that’s why I picked two home offices that are a little further away for two of the eight home offices to inspire. Some of these are very over the top and others are sophisticated, sleek spaces to inspire all of us lucky enough to work from home. Enjoy!

Another pod office for an outdoor space. Talk about a cubicle with a view. A separate structure for a home office isn’t a reality for most of us, so let’s look at some sophisticated and stylishly over the top home offices…inside.

Floor to ceiling black lacquered shelves add glamour to this sophisticated home office. Sleek, high end furnishings and shiny surfaces give this contemporary space polish.

A customized desk and built-ins give a high end feeling to this small nook of an office. Sophisticated color palette and even a place for the dog make this a perfect home work space.

Shown here is an electric and gorgeous tablescape that von Furstenberg created for House Beautiful magazine. She’s always used eclectic prints and bright colors in her fashion collections and she’s carried on that love of print and color into her home collection as well. Just about everything here is by von Furstenberg: the flower vases, votives, place mats, flatware, plates and napkins.

Von Furstenberg has quite several rugs through The Rug Company that she has been selling since 2009, all of them beautiful, but this is my favorite (eh, what can I say? I’m a sucker for zebra print!). This 100% Tibetan wool rug would look gorgeous in any room! Make sure to add other accessories to the space such as table lamps, end tables, and mirrors to pull the room together.

This serving tray, and many other items in her home collection, was inspired by Joan Miro. This tray is quite beautiful in person, I’d use it as a decorative object and place it on a mantel or a coffee table and a little collection of tchotchkes.

This fabric, called China Vine, was inspired by a dress from her 2008 collection. This image is from Claridge’s Hotel in London that von Furstenberg designed. Yes, she’s an interior designer too!

Von Furstenberg also sells a line of fabrics, so now fans of this fashionable line are free to upholster to their hearts desire. Pair a couple of throw pillows in blue leopard with a settee in black and tan tiger stripes. Von Furstenberg said, in an interview with Oprah magazine, that home “is a projection of who you are.” If who you are is bold, bright, glamorous and a little bit eclectic, then you’ll love this collection. You can find the DVF Home Collection at Bloomingdale’s or Neiman Marcus.

Bogdan — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 20:48:55 +0000

Known as bawdi or baoli in India, the wells with stairs are amazing constructions, where the access to the water is made by multiple stairs with narrow steps. The first architectural wonders of this kind were built back in 200 b.Ch. in the Western India and remained an unique attraction for this area. Nowadays, this kind of wells can be found only in India and a few regions in Pakistan. In the Medieval times, a large number of maharajahs built bawdi on their domains. In Gujarat, Rajasthan, Delhi, Madhya Pradesh hundreds remains were found.

But the deepest and largest well, and in very good shape is Chand Baori, built in the IX century in Abhaneri, Rajasthan, mirroring the Harshat Mata Temple. The well has 3500 steps, 13 stories and a depth of 30m.
