by Simona Ganea, posted in Interiors, on May 15th, 2013

You know how sometimes when you go on a vacation you want to take lots of things with you to be sure you’ll be comfortable and you’ll have everything you need and some people joke about it saying you take your whole house with you? Well in some cases it’s not a joke because some people actually mean it. For example, take a look at this house/trailer.

This is The Tiny Tack House. Its owners built it themselves. It’s a wood-clad mobile home that was built on a 7/20 feet utility trailer. It’s tiny, as its name very well suggests but it’s also functionally designed. This lovely house on wheels has a warm and cozy interior and a surface of 140 square feet. It took its owners 7 months to build it and the cost was $20.000. They used salvaged materials and sustainable wood.

How to Create an Instagram Wall Display

by Anne Pilon, posted in How To, Tips, and Advice, on May 15th, 2013

Instagram is a popular way for people to share little moments from their everyday lives. Bringing these moments into your space can create a homier atmosphere. But how can you display so many photos all in one place? Here’s how to create a large wall display of Instagram photos.

Choose a Space.

The first thing you’ll need to do is find wall space in your home. Ideally, the space should be at least 50 to 60 inches (127 to 152 cm) across, but you can use a smaller space if you print smaller photos or include less of them. Photos can be centered above a sofa, desk, or other piece of furniture. Or, like in the example pictured, the photos can be centered between a window and another wall. The display can be in your living room, entryway, office, or anywhere with enough empty wall space.

by Simona Ganea, posted in Interiors, on May 15th, 2013

The most beautiful thing of having a summer home or a house on the beach is being able to enjoy the outdoors. It’s why we are particularly touched by this house. It’s a house designed by architect Cadiz Johanson and it has a wonderful garden that surrounds it. Moreover, the interior seems to be a tribute to summer and all its charming features. The interior is simple and light. The rooms are bright and spacious and the color palette is very refreshing and beautiful.

The blue accents are evocating the nearby sea and they work wonderfully along with all the green details and the white features. We particularly like how all these different shades have been combined and how they harmoniously match. As for the style, it’s an interesting combination.

by Simona Ganea, posted in Furniture, on May 15th, 2013

By now it’s common sense to appreciate and to admire something that’s been made out of driftwood. But, when you think about it, it’s just something taken from nature, something that has no use there and brought into our homes. It’s the perfect example that shows us how something so simple can become something so artistic and beautiful.

Beautiful driftwood decorations that complement the coffee table

Driftwood can be used in many different ways. You can use it to make major projects like cabins or actual structures in which you can live but it can also be used for smaller projects such as making accessories for our homes. Usually a common feature can be a headboard made of driftwood or a clothes rack. But we’ve also seen projects such as beautiful coffee tables with artistic bases made of driftwood for example.

Inspiring Rooms Which Have Inglenooks

by Stefan, posted in Interiors, on May 15th, 2013

Even if you live in a temperate climate, cosiness is one of the best attributes a home can offer. And there is nothing that is more cosy, in a domestic setting, than a snug fireside which offers warmth and comfort. Inglenooks have for centuries provided an extra level of cosiness in homes. As opposed to a simple fireplace, inglenooks almost create the sensation a room within a room.

Inglenooks began in homes as a partially enclosed hearth area, part of a larger room, usually in the central living space. This hearth would be used for cooking, heating water and providing warmth in the days before central heating.
