Lyric Table from Baker Studio

Tables are not always made for dining at. Sometimes they are made for supporting the lamp or the other things you need by your bedside or maybe for drinking your coffee on. But there is one more category of tables that I like most: the tables that are meant to be decorative. They do not have a clear purpose, but to show the world how beautiful they are and to let people admire them. They make any home nice and bring a special feature to the room they are in. This Lyric Table from Baker Studio is like an artistic sculpture or something similar and you would not dare have coffee on it.

First of all, it is absolutely beautiful. It is made of steel or bronze and has a black stone top. The frame that is actually the table base is an intricate weaving of metal threads that looks amazing and the black stone top comes only to complete the whole picture. The table is stylish and classy and perfect for any modern home. It does not sell as a series product online, that is why you will have to ask for a quote here or find out where you can buy it here, on the manufacturer’s web site.

Martini Side Table

I may be mistaken sometimes in choosing the right glass for a beverage because they all seem to look exactly the same for me : the white wine glass, the red wine glass and the water glass. But I have never been mistaken in choosing the right glass for a Martini. It has that special shape and design that all people know and recognize, the perfect angle for supporting the olive and let the magic liquor flow gently out. I am sure you all know the shape of a Martini glass and that is why I am also sure you understand why this side table is called the Martini Side Table. It obviously looks like a Martini glass, except for the fact that its base is a bit wider. This allows it to have more stability and support more weight.

These side tables are made of polished aluminum and are pretty cool and modern, since they come in vivid colours like orange, lemon, black, white, etc.Some of them even have a powder coating that allows them to be used outdoors without getting damaged.They are empty on the inside, which makes them pretty lightweight, so you can transport them easily from one place to another, depending on your needs. You can buy one such table for $129 from West Elm.

20 Blue living room design ideas

The key to creating a calm, clean and classic atmosphere into your living room one way would be to incorporate blue shades into the décor. Blue has always been a sign of freshness and elegance. As a result, blue living room designs are always elegant and stylish while also creating a calm atmosphere.

You can choose blue as the only accent color for the décor

In a room filled with mostly wooden furniture it can be difficult to find the perfect color for the walls. But in this case you should also consider using complementary colors and blue would make a great choice. You can use blue for the drapes, maybe in combination with other colors such as grey or beige which are neutral tones and would not interfere with the accent color.

Cabinet of Natural Curiosities from Funkiture

This morning I came across a very interesting web site called Funkiture. My guess this comes from the melting and mixing of the words funky and furniture, which quite an interesting way of playing with words. And, apart from the name, I have found something else of interest here, especially for those who are always hunting for some unusual and unique pieces of furniture or accessories for their homes. This is the Cabinet of Natural Curiosities from Funkiture. It is a very colourful and unusual cabinet inspired by Albertus Seba’s ‘Cabinet of Natural Curiosities”, also having an oversized replica of the book on top. (more…)

Stylish living room transformation

Here’s a living room that at some point got a pretty serious and impressive transformation. From the old and boring room it used to be it turned into this beautiful and elegant space that everyone loves. This is Emily’s living room. Before she decided to give it a makeover it was a disaster. In fact, any change would have been an improvement at that point.

This is how the living room looks now. It’s very inviting and beautiful but making it look like this wasn’t easy. There were some elements that Emily managed to preserve and to turn into eye-catching pieces, such as that beautiful fireplace. The walls of the living room have been painted yellow, a sunny and happy color. The fireplace has been painted white, not a common choice but it works out nicely in this case.

Bauhinja Marble Vase

People have discovered marble since the most ancient times. Romans used marble for carving the most amazing sculptures and statues and also they used it for luxury bathrooms and pools. Marble still is a very precious and beautiful material and you can use it for obtaining very nice accessories for your home. But when you say marble you expect a statue or something bigger, not this amazing Bauhinja Marble Vase. However, this does not make it any less valuable and artistic, beautiful and graceful.

This interesting vase is, obviously, made of marble and carved by hand has some harmonious curves that make it look like a flower bud.

With or without flowers, this vase is still very eye-catching and you can now order it for $200.
