Every once in a while we feel the need to unwind, to get away for a while and to just relax without thinking of any of our problems. In such moments there are several options to choose from. One of them would be a nice and cozy cabin in the middle of nature. Whether it’s summer, spring or winter, a cabin is always inviting and charming. These five ones are definitely very beautiful as well.

Modern Seating That Will Update Your Dining Room

by Stefan, posted in Interiors, on March 21st, 2013

Don’t go to the expense of a complete overhaul of your dining room this season to give it an updated look. A great way of making your dining room feel like it is entirely new is to replace your seating with more contemporary styling. You don’t necessarily need to replace your table at the same time as a new set of chairs, because modern looks often work well if the table and chairs are not coordinated at all.

Indeed an older looking table, set against new, modern chairs is an on-trend look. And a simple table cloth will hide away a table that does not work with your new choice of seating, so you really don’t have to buy a new one. If your dining room furniture needs reupholstering, consider replacing the seats for something altogether more dynamic and contemporary.

by Simona Ganea, posted in Bathroom, on March 21st, 2013

In any bathroom, provided that there’s enough space, the bathtub is the most important décor element. Usually the whole design of the room revolves around the tub. According to its size, design and shape, everything else differs from case to case as well. Round bathtubs are not as popular as rectangular-shaped ones yet they are very charming.

This bathtub was chosen to complement an Asian-inspired bathroom interior. The soaking tub is a wonderful accent piece and it goes well with the wall treatments, the colors, materials, textures and the décor in general. The plants were also beautifully chosen to match the theme.

How To Organize Your Shoe And Sneaker Storage

by Stefan, posted in How To, Tips, and Advice, on March 21st, 2013

Do you own so many shoes that storing them can feel like it is a monumental undertaking? Storing shoes and sneakers, so that you can easily find the pair you want when you need them, should not be an engineering project in its own right.Instead, take some inspiration from shoe storage systems that work and replicate the most suitable one for your home. This will depend on the layout of your home and the sort of household members you have. For many with young children, a rear lobby area is the perfect place to install a shoe and boot repository.

For others, a porch or an under stairs closet is best. If you have a walk in dressing room, the best place to store your shoes will be nearby so you can coordinate your footwear with your other clothing. If you are squeezed for available space and stuff your shoes into boxes, you will rarely wear them. Instead make use of space saving techniques and use parts of the home you may not have considered before.

5 Creative Ways to Use Vintage Doorknobs

by Brittney Smart, posted in DIY, on March 21st, 2013

Do you love the look and feel and aura of vintage items…but sometimes get lost in trying to figure out what to actually do with those items? This is a struggle for many people. While creatively reusing and repurposing things is commendable for its green effect on the environment, it can be a challenge to make the old items successful in their new “life”…rather than a pile of junk that isn’t working at all. Take vintage doorknobs, for example. These are imbued with unmatchable patina and perfect imperfections, but doorknobs can sometimes be tricky to reuse. Here are five creative ways to use, and showcase, your beautiful vintage doorknobs:

Bouquet of Vintage Doorknobs.

Isn’t this a charming bit of history-filled whimsy? Vintage doorknobs create a similar “flowery” silhouette as a real bouquet and thus make an unexpected yet successful candidate for floral imitation. I like how this method embraces non-matching doorknob collections. This doorknob bouquet is particularly charming set within a colorful vintage glass vase.Available for 45$.
