Here are some fun suggestions for a child’s play room:
Chalkboard Paint is a funtastic idea for painting your wall. Get creative; you can paint the area under a chair molding, paint large sihlouettes of bugs or trees, or mount a large rococo picture frame on your wall and paint the area inside.
Tired of Stainless, and need something fun for your kitchen? Well if you are into vintage styles, these appliances will float your boat. The retro “Northstar” appliance line from Elmira Stove Works features fifties flare and chrome accents. You can pick a color from the inspired tones like “flamingo pink”, “robin’s egg blue”, “candy red”, or even customize your own color.
Paving your paradise might actually make it more appealing- especially if you don’t exactly have the time to weed and feed your outdoor expanse. That is the case for this Torontonian. The March 2008 edition of the House and Home magazine features this attractive straight forward backyard just bursting with entertaining amenities. Poured concrete and 6×6 cedar posts make up the bones of this backyard. The custom sailcloth awning can be drawn back to let in the full sun if you wish.
I adore the look of this stark black and white glamorous bathroom, but not too many baths are large enough to fit all of these elements. So can you get this look on a smaller scale and keep the sophisticated appeal? -Definitely! -And you can save a whole lot in the process.
I am a sucker for classic subway tiles, so this fun take on the beloved 2″ x 6″ wall tile couldn’t be better! The St. Pettersburg tile collection available through Ann Sacks is a smooth limestone tile. The curved shape of the tile shows well on this rounded bathroom wall.
The extremely lovely and unique kitchens by Brummel Cucine are custom and handmade in highest quality in Bassano Del Grappa, Italy. From the same charming city that has historically inspired painters, sculptors and poets! Isn’t it completely understandable that the kitchens born from Brummel are unlike any others? The Grand Gourmet R series is divinely black (Laccata 2 Colori). Subtle details like the beading on the island and crown moulding and the rubbed white edges on the raised panels make this kitchen a dramatic stunner! *If you like the black- check out the Maison Classique series, it has a vintage looking kitchen that is super fun (Laccati).
Don’t you just love a home tour! Especially if it is a tour of a fabulouslly decorated home YOU could win! This is the grand prize home for the Princess Margaret Lottery for Cancer Research, it supports a great cause and looks divine! The home is located in Woodbridge, Ontario- take a peek inside!
What a fantastic idea! The Spiral Wine Cellar is a fun and smart storage solution for your wine collection. It can hold up to 1600 bottles depending on the depth you choose, and can be installed in an already built home or in new construction. The cellar is constructed of solid concrete with a waterproof lining, it damp-proof and is highly resistant to temperature changes and vibrations. The cellar provides perfect storage conditions and proper ventalation. A trap door in the floor gives you access to the spiral stairs that wind down through the center, as the modular “shelves” hold all of your bottles along the perimeter. The trap door in the cellar in these images to the left work on a mechanical opening hinge. See their brochure online for more information.
With a craze going around for white and black damask- I would like to introduce black on black damask, *swoon*. This elegant damask chest from Horchow is a beauty bombshell, packing style and drama. The two faux crystal knobs finish the chest nicely. The floral damask finish is my favorite part though, giving this furniture piece a surprising flare. Perfect for an entrance or as a buffet in a smaller dining room.
