Converting the Unconvertable
As I've mentioned before, Dave has a general dislike for wallpaper. I'm not sure if it's the expense (compared to paint), the difficulty in putting it up (not to mention taking it down) or just that he still associates wallpaper with the hideous cartoon borders and "grandma" florals that dominated our childhoods in the '80s and early '90s. I tend to view Dave's resistance to something as a
Fabulous Ways Of Using Curtains
Removing doors and replacing them with full length curtains is not only an inspirational idea in rooms where doors are impractical, they are also make a very elegance and frame through which to look through and an easy way for the eye to be naturally drawn through into the next room and the natural light coming through the window.
The aspect I really find an easy, yet brilliant idea is to have the tie backs up high to enable the space to be fully utilised. Of course, this type of door way is a perfect for any type of interior design, be it traditional, modern or contemporary, it would purely be just a matter of choosing the right style and colour of fabric and altering the pelmet to suit.
With the curtain pelmet touching the line between the wall and the ceilng also adds height to the room. Look closely and you will see that the windows in the other room have the same curtains, also with high tie backs, creating a real sense of cohesion and harmony.
Using tie backs up high would look wonderful on sheer fabrics such as silk and voiles, particularly if you were to use the latest trends of beaded tie backs in a contrasting colour. Opt for opaque beads to allow the sun to make fascinating patterns of subtle colour to give the room a wonderful and gentle focal point.
Much nicer than traditional style of net curtains used in many homes in the UK, predominately to stop prying eyes seeing into other people's houses rather than for their somewhat bland and in my opinion boring and outdated look which do little to enhance the beauty of anyone's windows!

Week Nine: Lights Up!
Hope everyone had a great weekend. I'm back again today with my weekly update on the progress over at the new house. [By the way, am I overloading you with new house pictures and posts?] We visited our soon-to-be-home on Sunday and were surprised to see how much progress had been made over the course of the past week. With the exception of the front door (which has not yet been installed), the
Great kitchen
What makes a great kitchen?
What makes a great kitchen? A kitchen may be crammed with pots, pans, whisks, cleavers, peelers and every other cooking utensil which you could mention. However, will this detail make your kitchen look great? You might just be the next candidate for the top chef if your kitchen is like one of those.
Modern elegant kitchen design
The kitchen is an everyday room-everyday of the week. An average person in a household uses the kitchen more than twice a day no matter what type of person you are.
If the kitchen is your favorite place, if cooking is enjoyable, if cooking is more than just fun, then here's a secret behind every great kitchen. Get your kitchen organized. Perhaps you might be still hunting high and low looking just for a plate!
Modern and luxury kitchen design
"Kissing doesn't last: cookery do." said George Meredith, a famous chef. The lifespan of your kitchen cabinets is longer than what you think depending on the type of material it is made from. Plastic cabinets last shorter compared to wood based cabinets. Therefore it is better to give your kitchen the quality rather than quantity.
Modern elegant colorfull kitchen design
From storage of food in the pantry to cupboards for silverware, the functionality of cabinets in the kitchen is bigger than the floor plan. In short it is more complicated than what you think. Cabinets now aren't only use for storage. Kitchen appliances like refrigerators, dishwashers and ovens are now integrated into kitchen cabinetry transforming your kitchen space more spacious, flexible, comfortable and more importantly functional.
Modern elegant Big kitchen design
An English oak cabinet in your kitchen might be too old fashion. Stainless steel kitchens which do not rust perhaps just shine too brightly. Installing a perfect built-in kitchen cabinet will help you to get your kitchen organized. Whether it is only a bank of drawers which forms a island in the middle of your kitchen or just a simple spice rack, make sure it suit your style and taste.
