Fun turquoise wall clock for kids

by Simona Ganea, posted in Home Gadgets, on April 15th, 2011

At some point, every kid has to learn how to read the clock. And I’m not talking about electronic clocks but about the old-fashioned ones, the more difficult. So you’ll have to explain to him how the whole mecanism works. It’s not going to be easy, but it might be easier with a colorful and fun clock like this one.

It’s turquoise so the kids will like it and it’s fun so they’ll like it even more. It has 11,5’’ in diameter and silver arms with turquoise accents as well as silver hands. It requires only one AA battery and it’s available for $21,88 (walmart). The numbers that indicate the hours are not present on the clock so that might be a problem for smaller kids that aren’t still used with this type of clocks, but that problem can be easily solved with an art project that you and your kid can do together. Have fun and enjoy.

Glass star pendant for the outdoors

by Simona Ganea, posted in Lighting, on April 15th, 2011

The outdoor lighting systems are primarily practical. However this doesn’t mean that they can’t look good too. Over the years we have learned how to successfully combine the aesthetic aspect with the practical one. The Reed Star pendant is a very good example in this sense.

It has a very nice shape, perfect for the outdoors. It creates a romantic and intimate atmosphere. It can also be used indoors but the effect is more visible when used outdoors, because of the star shape. The dimensions are 15’’ wide x 4,5’’ deep x 13’’ high. It’s made from a bronzed metal frame and seeded glass and it’s available fir $129.

It’s recommended that you seek the help of a professional for the installation. In terms of form and design it’s a very simple piece. But when used outdoor the effect is very strong. You can have your own star without having to fly in space.

Ways to decorate your bedroom for free

by Stefan, posted in How To, Tips, and Advice, on April 15th, 2011

Each one of us spends a lot of time in the bedroom. On an average every individual spends atleast 8 hours in their bedroom at night. Budget constraints and shortage of time might come in the way of decorating bedrooms and often the main concentration is on other areas like kitchens, bathrooms and living rooms. However there are a number of ways in which one can decorate the bedroom without spending anything on it.

The easiest and the most hassle free thing to do is re arrange the things in the room. The bed can be rearranged and put anywhere in the room, diagonal or in the centre of the room. The room will get an altogether new feel by making these few simple rearrangements. One can also try and find fabric items which match or complement the colours in the room. One could use tablecloths, towels, scarves, pillowcases etc. Even a pretty scarf or shawl gracefully draped over the foot of the bed could look impressive. One could even wrap these items around cushions and pin them at the back. This will give them an entirely different look.
