PlayStation Coffee Table for the real passionate ones

elutzik — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 22:58:53 +0000

I think it’s great and all to have a PlayStation or a Wii console in your home and to really use it, but maybe we shouldn’t exaggerate with our gaming passion. An Australian student made this interesting and one-of-a-kind coffee table for his industrial technology class, so it’s not for sale. I’m sorry for all you game-lovers who thought that you could buy it, but maybe he will commercialize it and you will all be happy.

Madonna’s house

elutzik — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 15:10:54 +0000

Well… one of Madonna’s houses, is a Manhattan apartment which is actually composed of three united apartments, and it was decorate by the singer’s brother, Christopher G. Ciccone, who doesn’t even have studies in interior design.

They had some problems with the reconfiguration, but with Stephen Wang they managed to create a unified space. You could swear that was like this from the beginning!

In this house guests will find many paintings, mostly gray old photos or paintings, which are outlined in female nudes. At first glance you say it’s abstract figures, not on figures.

The living room, where the floor remained unchanged, is a mix of dark colors, but elegant. The sofa was upholstered with studio photos of fashion designer Coco Chanel.

The kitchen is the only different room in house. By combining stainless steel turned white with a modern and functional. The singer is not very passionate with cooking, so she preferred the kitchen to be smaller and welcoming. Down the hall is the guests room and her office.

In her bedroom was elected a king size bed. Despite the size and design, yet it is discreet. Because yellow is her favorite color and she wanted it in her bedroom, but it seemed too much of, they found a middle way, a shade of beige pearl that reflects everything around it.

The most serious room is the bathroom. There were built a series of arches that connect the three areas – showers, tubs and troughs. Up to half the walls are covered with Italian ceramic tiles, white with iridescent pink, except within showers, where white tile is combined with dark green.

Although the interior looks immaculate, without blemish, nor the singer, nor her designers are sure of completing the work.

My refuge

elutzik — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 19:24:50 +0000

My refuge is my dream house, which, for now, is just in my mind. It’s right in the middle of nature, with a huge garden, with a pond and paths and lots of plants, trees and flowers.

Any destination you might have for your dream house, just follow some simple rules:

In a world invaded with modernism, a simple wooden house with a simple paint, colored door and windows and curtains in tone with the wood of the house would calm everyone.
Your house and garden would be more relaxing with a lot of green. Just combine the paved areas with the grass and plants.
The color harmony is the key. The floors, the ceramic or wooden flower pots, the garden furniture and the pillows are all great in ground tones.
In a small space you can place a table and two chairs where you can drink your coffee in the morning or just sit and relax.
You can place most of the flowers in pots because they are easier to maintain.

How do we decorate a small room?!

elutzik — Thu, 13 May 2010 13:12:21 +0000

Decorating a small room is considered to be a great challenge for most people. This can sometimes become a very frustrating activity whether is because of money or the lack of ideas.

Firstly, you have to decide what are you going to use the room for. Maybe you would like a comfortable guest room, a cozy nursery room, or a modern bathroom.

The simplest way of turning a small space into a welcoming one is using bright colors, especially when it comes to curtains, blankets, pillows or rugs.

Try not to use too much furniture and decorative elements. Just keep it simple and sleek.

Another trick to make your small room look bigger is to have big windows and to always keep them clean, as well as using mirrors.

Try painting you focal wall in deep tones and leave the other walls white or use the palest version of the color you used on the main wall.

Last but not least, try to use multi-purpose objects, such as a bed with drawers, etc.

Holiday shopping

elutzik — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 21:05:47 +0000

I personally love and hate holidays at the same time. I love them because they are the perfect occasion to meet with the entire family and just sit down and eat together. And because I’ve noticed that people are more giving on holidays. The reason I hate them is because we always have to clean the entire house with one or two weeks before. Or at least that’s in my family. We move furniture, throw away things we don’t need etc.

And what happens when, while cleaning the coffee table you decide that it doesn’t match the couch? Of course, you want a new one, especially now that the Easter is coming. But there’s only one problem: there is a lot of shopping to do for the holidays like food and stuff and you don’t know if you can afford a new coffee table right now.

When you reach this situation you have two options: either buy the coffee table another time or buy one with a generous discount with coupons.

And don’t think that this is only for uninteresting furniture that no one would buy. You can simply go at Home Depot and choose what you like. Just look for the Home Depot promotion codes.

Now just go online and choose your coffee table and tell your friends about it so that they can take smart decisions as well.
