Marvellous Marble – Get The Carrara Marble Look For Less

The London Tile Co.

From phone cases to couture dresses, it’s not hard to see why marble is back in fashion. With a timeless elegance that looks stunning in any room in the home, marble is often seen as a luxurious material choice. While real marble might be out of many of our price ranges, marble effect tiles are a great way to get this look for less. Natural materials like marble require regular maintenance, including using specialist cleaning products and sealing solutions.

Food for Thought #17: CES 2017 and Smart Home 1.0

JG Kitchens

Happy New Year! I attended my first-ever CES, (formerly known as the Consumer Electronics Show), last week. I expected a tremendous showing of Jetsonian technology for the home, both from major brands and upstarts. “Tremendous” accurately describes the scale of the show, but not the progress of innovation in this area. Frankly, I was a wee bit disappointed.

It is Important to Keep Learning

Life of an Architect

This has been an interesting few weeks for me – very busy and very stressful, two things that I could do with less of in my life. Whenever the stress level goes up in my life, the time I spend in the shower seems to increase proportionately. I tend to let my mind wander ( even more than normal ) and I do some of my best creative thinking in the shower.

Small Kiev Apartment Boasts Unusual Layout

Trendir Magazine

Ukrainian architect Emil Dervish has created minimalist design for a small Kiev apartment, using only black and white color scheme and stylish lighting. Clever planning allows to keep different zones separate but also in one coherent style. Concrete and glass wall dividers help create pockets of space within one big open-plan room. For instance, home office stands behind one to keep distractions to a minimum.

On Ice

KB Culture

I hesitate to say it, but there's just one thing that comes to my mind whenever I see these 1950s fridges: they look like they'd be better suited for the morgue than the kitchen. Despite their impossibly limited capacity—combined, the freezer and cooler offer less than 15 cubic feet of storage—I can't shake the impression that I've seen them in old TV shows like Dragnet and Quincy.

It is one of the few buildings Pierre Chareau (with the assistance of Danish architect Bernard Bijvoet) both designed and furnished.

"How Many Niches Do You Need In Your Shower?"

The short answer, one for each person using the shower if room allows. If not, then it is possible to add corner shelves or shelf for more of your stuff. Here is an example where I placed a shelf above a generous space for items not used as much or for something you don't want to get so wet. I install niches for the lady of the home to place their feet so they can shave their legs.

Hot Stuff, Indeed

'Dry flat': That particular fabric care directive is easier said than done, right? At best, it is a slow, inefficient, and space-consuming process. Making that a thing of the past is the FlexDry, which bundles a front-loading tumble dryer and a controlled-heat, enclosed drying rack into a single appliance. While two-in-one washers have been around for a while [and one is offered as a mate to FlexDry], that double-duty functionality has gone missing from dryers—until now. samsung.com.
