Rang-Decor {Interior Ideas predominantly Indian} House of Turquoise How to Have an Organized and Stylish Home Storage doesn't have to be in cabinets, although you'll probably want at least some of it to be so. It's a fine idea to mix open and closed storage so that you can contrast a visually calm area of closed storage (hiding the necessary but possibly ugly objects) with a more exciting visual feast of open shelving. If you're the kind of person who likes to see lots of things displayed to view, that's fine too. Just pay attention to how things look when you buy them, even very everyday objects like food packets. If you can choose, buy things which are decorative and even color-matched as well as functional. Even the most eclectic mix of ordinary stuff can look organized if you impose order on them by the way you store them. One important element is to include display space for things you love to admire.

Texture Packs Jun 02 2010 By By Janos Racz Every designer knows the importance of using the right textures in designs. And since making use of an already existing texture or image is so common and easy, the best you can do for your design is to use quality material that has variety and best suits your purposes. And while there are many stock image sites all over the Web, we’re fortunate enough to have a generous community that shares these kind of resources openly. In this round-up we’ve collected 40 amazing new free texture packs to freshen up your designs.

Dress Design Decor Not sure if I mentioned this before, but underneath the lofts where I live, as well as in the original building beside me, they're opening up a number of new stores i'm pretty excited about. Vincenzo's - an italian grocer/café/flower/butcher shop is finally starting to set up, which will be so handy to pop into right after work. An art gallery, card shop, baby store and spa are going in for sure... and there's still a few unknown spaces in construction. But, one of the best is a brand new restaurant which I caught a sneak peek of today! Dark woods and leather banquettes are being installed and i'm super excited for it to be up and running.

Delfin-Postigo house (Yatzer: Design Architecture Art Fashion +more) We wanted to commence 2010 with a residence encompassing a strong unique quality in both the design and the aesthetic domain. A residence capturing the meaning of essence and symbolism. As we always aim to please (never giving up until we reach perfection) our search was successfully over when we came across the Delfin & Postigo house. Wishing you a Yatzer New Year2010 will be a year to remember.. full of surprises // Just TRUST us !... Sexy, Sex, Kinky, Nudity, S&M, Naked, Truth, No Boundaries, Raw, Simplicity. Their residence may be perceived as offensive or censored to certain ages by some, but to us it is honest and artistic. The pure white floor and walls express a naiveté and purity which control the dynamism of the artworks. These quirks exist throughout the residence with a prime example being the dining chairs. On the mezzanine level everything is exposed. The bathroom carries on this language with dominant white tiles and a gray walk in shower.
desire to inspire - desiretoinspire.net If you'd like to send me photos to include in next week's "pets on furniture" post, please ensure your photos follow my basic rules: First, the pet must be on a piece of furniture. And said piece of furniture must be clearly visible in the photo, so it takes center stage rather than your pet. Think of it more of a photo of a great piece of furniture that you want to show off...and your pet happens to be sitting on it. And second, if the photo is too dark or unfocused then it may not make the cut. Photos, your name, location and a brief description can be sent to kim[at]desiretoinspire[dot]net and PLEASE don't send closeups of your pet! Dodger is relaxing in a shell chair! This is Bandi our funny dwarf rabbit. This is our 3-year old Boston, Tank, settling in on the back of our couch for an evening of TV with the folks :).- Donna (Dallas, TX)
Space Saving ‘Tulip’ Shower Blooms into a Luxury Bathtub Some apartment bathrooms are just not big enough to fit a full- or even half-size tub, unless one considers the extra space already required for standing and walking. This clever flip-down solution makes room for lying down in the bath, but retracts when not in use. The (Tulip) name was derived by Piotr Pyrtek from the way in which the unit seems to blossom open, as well as the tulip’s versatility in the world of plants. When upright, the enclosure prevents splashing and contains steam for showering. When flipped open, the vertical portion provides a place to lean against along the back surface. Luxuries are not lost despite the small footprint of this pod within the larger layout – high-powered massagers, underwater jets and other digitally-controlled bathing bonuses are all part of the experience.

10 Scrap Refabs: Vintage Reupholstery with Colorful Fabric Forget fabric stores – some antiques are just too boring to bother re-covering with traditional patterns. These hodgepodge pieces use patchwork scraps to create fresh new themes within stodgy old frameworks. (Re)fabric(ation) can be fun. Design by Leftovers takes old and often overly-ornate furnishings that would hardly fit in a modern home, and remakes them to look creative, contemporary and strangely more timeless. While there seems to be much mixing going on, there is a clear set of methods within the madness – each found piece of fabric is stitched into a new whole in a way that is clearly conscious of what appears around it in terms of colors and patterns. Old velvet slipcovers, vinyl patches, leather panels and more are paired for reupholstering with carved-wood chairs and couches, much of which may have vintage appeal but, save for such interventions, is otherwise destined to become discount furniture beyond repair.
Meet Decorator Jan Eleni Are you ready to read a refreshingly honest interview with an interior decorator? I encourage you to read this interview that I had yesterday with interior decorator Jan Eleni Lemonedes from Jan Eleni Inc. in New York City. She speaks boldly and from an authentic place and I really value the time that I shared with her to develop this feature for you. First, a bit of history about this talented lady. So now that you have some history, let’s talk to Jan about her work. Holly: Why did you decide to decorate for a living? Jan: I am a self taught designer and at a young age I always loved and appreciated beautiful things. Holly: I also noticed that in addition to decorating, you are also an artist. Jan: While I was working on children’s spaces – I wanted to time capsule their moment in art – and I started making these beautiful art frames – a way to archive your child’s art in a modern way. Holly: You mentioned earlier that you do not have a formal design education but are self-taught.
