Versatile pebble side table

by Simona Ganea, posted in Outdoors, on April 14th, 2011

A very interesting choice for a table design. Inspired from the nature, this table actually looks like a pebble. The almost round shape it’s the reason why you would probably think this is not a good idea. Actually it’s quite practical because the top it flat. It’s made from cement concrete so it’s not very light or easy to move, but I think the effort is worthed.

The dimensions of this unusual side table are 23″w x 15″d x 14″h. Because of the shape and the durable and resilient material used to craft it, this table is for both indoor and outdoor use. I think it’s not necessary to mention that it also comes fully assembled. It’s only available in one color: light gray, the natural color of a normal pebble. It can be purchased for $149. Bring the inside out, pr the other way around with this bold and original piece of furniture.

by Simona Ganea, posted in Design And Concept, on April 14th, 2011

There’s nothing like waking up in the morning and enjoying a nice cup of coffee and maybe a cigarette. It’s a great feeling and a good way to start your day. But for that you’ll need more than coffee. You’ll need a coffee table, one that suites your needs and preferences so that you feel comfortable and confident when you start your day.

Here’s an idea: a coffee table with a clever storage space incorporated. It looks good, it’s comfortable and it also provides you with a hidden space where to store your magazines and maybe cigarettes or whatever you like to use in the morning when you’re having coffee. It’s made from walnut veneer and dusty grey glass and it has a water-based lacquer coating for a longer-lasting finish. The dimensions of this functional coffee table are H12¾/17½ x W44¾/53¼ x D31½/40″.

If you hurry up you’ll even get it for a smaller price ($985 instead of $1095). The offer ends on 04-30-2011.

Puzzling 3-piece mirror

by Simona Ganea, posted in Furniture, on April 14th, 2011

Everyone has a mirror in their home. It’s not like you can just wake up and leave home without even consulting the mirror. It’s a necessary piece. A lot of people like to have a big mirror in the bedroom to be able to see how they look from head to toe. And it’s useful to see the entire image, to see how the whole picture looks like.

This is a combination between those tall mirrors and the small ones. 3 square smaller mirrors work together to form a bigger piece. And the result is a puzzling image. This way you can see how your face, your bust and your feet looks like separately and then use your imagination for the rest. Or you can flip the mirror and place it horizontally and then you have 3 smaller mirrors for 3 persons.

This is useful for a bigger family. This way everyone has a place near the mirror without having to wait their turn. Whatever option you choose, the result will be a positive one.

Things to know about home ownership

by Stefan, posted in Real Estate, on April 14th, 2011

Nothing can be more beautiful, than having a house of your own. Well, for some it is a distant dream, and some work hard to live it. For all the sections in the society, everyone wants at least a space of their own. Whether small, or big, one room or a four room apartment we just wish to have something we can call our own. Buying a house isn’t tough, with so many home loans and mortgage schemes coming up. It isn’t tough but its easy if really push us to make it true.

Home ownership has its positive and negative points. Though you will find it only better, that now you have an asset of yours but if you have taken a home loan to buy it, you need to check in.Giving monthly installments of your new house is like an added burden to your standing expenditures. So when you opt for a home loan, you have neither the property nor the money. And then you have to shell all your income in something which you will get in future- till you give your last and final installment.
