Madonna’s house

Posted by elutzik on July 3, 2010 | 1 Comment

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.

Wooden kitchen accessories

Posted by Bogdan on February 8, 2010 | 3 Comments

Nowadays, in their home kitchen, people tend to use a lot of iron or steel accessories. Few of them know the big benefits of wooden plates, furniture, cutting boards in the kitchen. For example, did you know that a wooden spoon won’t held the smell in it and it will never damage your expensive cookware? Did you know that it’s always easier to chop food on the wooden cut board? If you like to hang your pots, here’s a tip: a wooden pot rack will never scratch your French onion soup pot.

Another useful kitchen item that it’s very often made of wood, it’s the knife storage. Why you should consider getting one? Because it offers great protection for the knife’s blade and it’s very safe, for you and your children.

  Above, I just pointed a few examples, but there are some manufacturers, like JK Adams, that offers a large number of wooden kitchen accessories, starting with the JK Adams cutting board, continuing with some beautiful wine racks, pot racks, furniture, knife storages and finishing with the very useful JK Adams spice rack.

Kitchen perfectly integrated into the living room

This is a couple’s idea of integrating the kitchen into the living room so that you so that everyone could have free access to it without anything blocking the view of the people relaxing in the living room. Another problem they solved with this is keeping an eye on the children who were playing around the house. You can prepare something to eat or drink your coffee without leaving your living room. I believe it is perfect for those days when you have guests and you don’t want to leave them alone when you go into the kitchen to get the food. They used a Star model kitchen which combines an elegant and discrete walnut wood with distressed white textured lacquer and a stainless steel top that reflects the cooking zone suspended in the air. It is the perfect solution where the kitchen opens up to the rest of the house so they can see each other and interact as a family without everyone needing to be in the same room.
