Get organised...


Have you ever at some point think of using wooden apple crates, wine crates, milk crates in ways other than their intended use? They are well designed functional containers.

What would you do with these crates?

Would you hang them on your walls?







 Would you put them on a shelf?







 Would you make it a side table o build a table yourself?



Would you wheel them down a hall?



Or would you make them useful, beautiful piece of art in your Living room?




Using old crates can make some inexpensive storage, and you will be recycling something that might have otherwise been thrown away.

So get organised with these inexpensive vintage crates into stylish shelves.

define your word...


Bored of your regular shelves, bring a fresh touch to your room by adding a message or even a crib-defining word. today i decided to present these configurable shelving units consisting of words that can support books, picture frames and other shelf-meant objects. The ANITA Shelf was designed by Ricard Mollon and comes in a variety of ...meanings. Some of the words found on their website are "love", "books", "home", "music", but you can customize your own shelf, by choosing its color, materials and well, the word itself. With an elegant appearance and subtle contours, the shelves go great in a modern decor. The designs can be purchased online, on the official website of the producer. Don't forget to leave a comment below and share your opinions. what word you will like written in your home?

it's all yellow.........


If you are looking fora burst of sunshine in your interiors, then take a look at this beaming collection of yellow room reference, to try throughout your home.

To add a cheerful ray to your living room you could start subtly with accessories, cushions and throws, artwork, or perhaps a small accent chair or decorative screen, but if you wanted to go all out on the theme, paint a large accent wall in a vibrant shade or even have a sofa reupholstered. Of course, there are many shades to choose from, if a bright primary yellow is too overpowering for you, a lemon sherbet may be more calming on the eye. 





In a bedroom its simple to change up a color scheme with new bed linen, curtains and lampshade, but for extra zing try repainting that drab old chest of drawers and headboard, or even just a bookshelf and the frame of a full length dressing mirror.




In a kitchen or dining space, yellow is very effective as the backing color to an area of shelving, specially when stacked with other colorful items, cups and bowls.




Team your yellow with lots of white to keep the look ultra fresh.










A grey background pulls the bright shade back for a more sophisticated look.


True lovers of a yellow palette with revel in glossy color block kitchen units, or go for yellow splash backs if you are not feeling quite so brave.






A soft yellow with muted green creates a relaxing environment.











 
If you don't want to paint your white walls, bring color into your room with accessories, furniture and shelving.




Using dove grey as backdrop, duck egg blue against yellow is stunning.



 





You'll find that many colors look great with yellow, team with splashes of blue or green accent pieces to balance out the scheme.


So start today...Look around your rooms and tell me where can you fit this bright sunshine yellow.
