Modern Home Interior Design by Hand
Hand is a French designer firm that has unleashed a set of contemporary interior designs. The collection is a mix of modern and mid-century shades, patterns and designs to create an ambient interior. Designed by Pierre Emmanuel Martin and Stéphane Garotin, the use of both pastel and vivacious colors as a combination along with print patterns, simple and elegant furniture and warm lighting, bring in a “very homely” feel to the design. Unique lamp shades, snug-looking rugs, a blend of various types of chairs and plenty of accessories, give the rooms a unique and trademark look. – via

We’re always updating our website and making sure we provide the best service to our customers. Maintaining our products is key to ensure we keep out customers updated and while updating our products we discovered that the Joseph Anica is to be discontinued.
It’s a rather unique looking bed with a silver metal frame and white head end, it’s pretty slick and modern and there aren’t that many similar beds around, which makes it a real shame.
Saying that, we had a good look at our entire product range and found some similar looking beds to suggest to our customers. Joseph actually do similar beds and the Joseph Kava has the same modern style with a silver metal frame but features a dark head end.
If the darker wood doesn’t suit your bedroom, you may like the Joseph Arizona with its silver metal frame and black base.
You may also be interested in the Hyder Manhattan, although it doesn’t have the extra head detailing, it has a modern silver frame and a simple but contemporary design.
Why not take a look through our entire metal bed section and maybe you’ll find something else that catches your eye, as we have a great range of metal beds in different styles.
If it’s the Joseph Anica you’re really after, you’d better hurry up because you won’t find it anywhere soon!

Matilde House - luxury home
Matilde House designed by Ailtireacht Architects, located in Rathgar, Dublin.
Information from Ailtireacht Architects:
The existing two-storey return was at a scale not befitting such a large with cramped internal dimensions making the spaces unusable. Traditionally, Victorian returns consist of a series of functional and subservient spaces to the mainhouse. The design exploits this premise, in the creation of a series of generously proportioned multifunctional spaces, accommodating the contemporary needs not afforded by a typical Victorian House, spaces envisaged for working, playing, bathing and sleeping. The functional materiality of the proposal is selected in response to the existing condition of unpainted render at the rear terrace and the subordinate functional spaces contained therein.

Modern Wallpapers from Osborne and Little
Don't you just love "Mad Men"? Aside from the fabulous characters, clever dialogues and story lines, the set on the show is just awesome. They really got it down. Doesn't the wallpapers in the show make you just dizzy though?
Things have changed since then obviously. Nowadays you most likely see wallpapers in the bathroom, powder room, hallway or just one wall. They are used as an accent or an exclamation point.
We thought we show you some new patterns from Osborne and Little this spring. If you follow this post you'll see that this is our favorite wallpapers line. It's not for the faint-hearted though, as it's rather bold and daring. You'll have to have steady nerves to take on this line.

Top Home Interior Decorating
Top Home Interior DecoratingSome people prefer light colors, while others prefer heavy and striking upholstery. For windows, curtains, blinds, rods and panels should be attractive and appealing. You need to attend to all parts, namely, doors, windows, floors, furniture and accessories. Before actually starting the work, you need to be sure whether the emphasis is going to be on beauty, comfort, or the appearance of your home.
A good interior decorator should be able to help you in selecting the correct interior decorating solution for your home. As far as home interior decorating is concerned, every nook and corner has to be studied so that the available space is utilized to the maximum. Decorating includes both the interior as well as exterior aspects. It also demands hard work and devotion, as it is not an easy task. Home decorating means a lot to the owner.
After all, it is a place where we spend most of our lives. We build our homes with the utmost care and sincerity. A home is cozier and more comfortable than any other place. Whoever it may be, whatever position he or she may hold, finally everyone returns home to find peace and relax.
“East or West, home is the best,” is a common saying. There is no better haven than our home.
Fantastic Faux Leather from Silver State
The other day we came across an artitle about the danger of cheap food in Time magazine. The article talks about how our food has become so industrialized to make it as cheap as possible, and how we've endangered our environment and our health as a result.
We probably can easily dismiss it as one of the many things that is better not to know-- as it only makes us depressed, really. Besides, what can one possibly do? It's not like you can grow chicken in your backyard, right?
But the article did make us pause and think about what we do eat, and how by doing little things we can change our habits, and hopefully, do our part to help the world in the process.
If you are interested in the article, click here. A note of warning: it's really, really long. Like 3,251 words long to be exact! And it makes you want to stop eating for a few days...
So may we suggest looking at faux leather vs real leather when you decorate? We were doing a restaurant project a few months back and we discovered a great faux leather line from Silver State. No one heard of them, but if you follow this blog you'll know that we are suckers for small, boutique vendors that are not well-known.
We ended up using the faux leather for the restaurant banquets and they turn out marvelous. Not only that, they are way cheaper too. Whereas real leather is sold by the square foot, faux leather is sold by the yard like fabric, which means you get way more for your money.
What we like best about the collection is the colors. You might not be able to see the real colors here, but trust us, in person they just POP! The quality is really good too. It's very soft and supple, not plastiky at all...
The faux leather shown here sells for about $80-100/yard. You can find pricing information as well as the rest of the collection on our faux leather section. To see more of Silver State products, check out their web site. It's not a very well-designed web site though, so you have to click around a bit.
Suggestion: these are awesome as wallpapers as well. You need to find a good and patient wallhanger, but they look amazing as wallcoverings, and they are very durable.

Five Favorite Round Dining Tables
We love round dining tables, mainly because they are cozy and pretty. People say round tables make for more intimate conversation, but we don't think that's the case. It's not like you can't have an intimate conversation with a square table or a rectangular table!
At any rate, we think round tables are sexier and they fit better in a small room or a kitchen nook. Here are five of our favorites:
This one is a perential classic. It is called a Versailled Pedestal table and it's from Nichols & Stone.
This one is made of solid iron. It's from Noir.
This one has a stone base with a top that can be custom-finished. It's from Hickory Chair.
We love this one. It's from Oly Studio. 
We sell tons of these. It's fabulous in a black glossy finish. It's from Noir. 
If you need pricing information for any of the above, drop us a line.
Check our post on some fabulous dining chairs that you can use with these tables.

Candice Olson Fabric for Kravet
Candice Olson is everywhere nowadays. First she did furniture , then rugs, then lamps and now fabric for Kravet.
We love the Candice Olson show on HGTV. The problem with too much licensing, though, is that you kinda lose that originality that got people to like you in the first place. Remember Pierre Cardin or Halston, anyone? Also a great designer does not neccesarily makes the best product maker. There are many factors involved, such as manufacturing, distribution and other business issues that can impact how the products actually turn out.
So we have to say, we're not that impressed with the fabric collection from her. It's okay... It's kinda ordinary, actually. Most of the stuff we've seen before and it's like, heh...
We thought we show you some of the more interesting ones:
Most of the patterns retail for $119/yard (you can get it for less at the upholstery fabric store on our site). To see the rest of the collection, click here.

Tolo House - Holiday Home Design
Tolo House, a holiday home. Designed by Alvaro Leite Siza, located in Lugar das Carvalhinhas - Alvite, Cerva Parish, Ribeira da Pena Commune, Vila Real District.
Architects: Alvaro Leite Siza
Client: Luís Marinho Leite Barbosa da Silva
Location: Lugar das Carvalhinhas - Alvite, freguesia de Cerva, Ribeira da Pena District
Site Area: 1000 sqm
Constructed Area: 180 sqm
Contractor: Óscar Gouveia
Landscape: Alvaro Leite Siza Vieira
Materials: Concrete
Services: GOP
Project Start: 2000
Project Complete: 2005
Photographers: Alvaro Leite Siza / F&S Guerra
A holiday home with three bedrooms, a social bathroom, a living room, a dinning room, a small kitchen with a support washbasin, pantry, and even a small outdoor swimming pool.
This road leads to the northern higher part of the lot. The roof functions simultaneously as pavement support for the gardens: similar to the traditional threshing floors and patios in the northern regions of the country with hilly terrain.
The terrain’s instability together with modest economic resources gave rise to a house with triple function: the itself and its interior space; the organization of outdoor leveled patios corresponding to the roofs of various levels which permit the outdoor use of the garden; and finally, the creation of a pedestrian link between the paths of the upper and lower levels that border this lot. The exterior stairs that create a link between the patios mirror the stairs that have the same function of linking the designed compartments that are also developed through levels. In this way, the stairs correspond to the interior ceilings.

Circle Kitchen - Designed by Compact Concepts
If you’ve been looking for a stylish mini kitchen set, because what you own so far is not big enough to fit up the load, how about the Circle Kitchen? Designed by Compact Concepts, the kitchen furniture manages to address space problems in a highly functional and stylish manner, although it only measures 1.8 square meters. It features all the characteristics of an usual kitchen. Integrated with the ability to rotate as much as 180 degrees, the Circle Kitchen is able to provide all items that is being offered from a regular sink, to dishes, a microwave and even a dishwasher. Although we’re totally sold on the idea, such a circled design will cost you between $6,500 and $15,000 (Around Rs.316000 to Rs730000) to get and that doesn’t even include installation costs.
