Kitchen

Filed under: Kitchen

Kitchen is the one of the places at home i usually hangout! I really love to prepare foods, cleaning the kitchen and even organizing the kitchen utensils. It’s  a fact that when your things are fully organized you could easily work anytime and very comfortable whatever you wanna do.

 As what you see nowadays a modern kitchen in the affluent parts of the  world is typically equipped with a stove and possibly a microwave oven. It also has a sink with hot and cold running water available for cleaning food, for providing water to cook with, as well as for washing dishes. One or more units in which to store food, and to store utensils, pots and dishes, are also usually present in or near a kitchen, or more commonly as kitchen cabinets and a refrigerator. This stuff could make you work easily on your kitchen because all the things you need is nearer to you.

If someday If i could have another house on my own i’ll make it sure that the kitchen is to wonderful and very organized just like the above image of this post.

Bedroom Interior Design Ideas

Bedroom is one of the most important rooms in your home because this is where you usually spend most of your time. It should be your own personal space, and sometimes it can even be your home away from home. It can be that special room where you can find solace and peace.

For many people, a bedroom is so much more than simply a place to sleep. A bedroom can be a refuge, a place to escape the demands of everyday life and a place to find that sometimes needed silence and solitude. Simple bedroom decorating ideas can help you turn your bedroom into a beautiful

1: Paint
One of the best ways to give your bedroom a lift is to paint the walls. Inject some of your favorite color into your bedroom by giving the walls a fresh new coat of paint. Your bedroom will feel brighter and cleaner. Try a bold new color or a soft neutral.

2: Blinds and curtains
Try changing the look of your bedroom by changing the blinds or curtains. Curtains are available in a wide variety of patterns and fabrics. Choose a color that works with your theme or try something entirely different. Sheer drapes and velvet curtains are two of today’s hottest trends.

3:Pillows and cushions
New pillows and cushions are another way to add a dash of color to your bedroom. Multiple pillows and/or cushions on the bed make a lovely accent and allow you the opportunity to see how new colors work with your current color scheme. And, best of all, they can easily be changed when you’re ready to update again. Blankets and throws are another fun, but functional accessory. Keep a matching throw, strewn over the bottom of your bed for a slightly different look.

4: Duvets and bed skirts

The bed is the focal point of most bedrooms, so for the most impact a new duvet cover is likely to do the trick. Bed skirts are available in a wide assortment of colors, fabrics and textures and are a wonderful finishing touch on any bed.

5: Wall hangings
Artwork, mirrors, shelving – all of these are easy ways to dress up the walls in your room. Beautiful artwork can be found in any art shop, or try something more creative and frame your favourite photos or pictures from books or magazines. Simple or elaborate, a framed mirror is not only an attractive touch but will help to make your bedroom look bigger. Wall shelves are easy to install and make the perfect home for accessories (framed photos, candles, books) that speak to your personality.

These are just a few easy and inexpensive ways bedroom decorating ideas that will add some life to your space. Don’t forget that bedside tables, lamps and area rugs are among the many other bedroom accessories that can be added or replaced to create that new look.

Dinning Room Interior Design

Filed under: Interior Designs

Basic Consideration

Before choosing out what wall colors and what type of table and chairs you will going to purchase for your dining room it is important to consider the basics of interior design as they apply to a dining room. The basic rooms you have to work with as well as how you plan to use it are crucial factors when designing your dining room.

I. Size 

The size of the room helps dictate the colors and furnishings that are most suitable. A very small dining room, for example, would feel cluttered and overcrowded when paired with dark, heavy furniture, dark walls, and heavy drapes. Large rooms, on the other hand, will feel empty if the table is tiny and there are no other furnishings, particularly if the window is bright and airy and the walls are light-colored. If the room is very small, consider adding an additional window or wall cutout to enhance the space – windows that open into the kitchen are especially valuable and efficient. To shrink a large room to a more manageable size, add tall plants, rich drapes, or additional pieces of furniture (a china cabinet for example).

II. Formality

A formal dining room meant for use only on special occasions needs different design consideration than an informal eatery. While candid family pictures may be appropriate for a casual setting, a formal portrait is a better accent in a formal room. Furthermore, a crystal chandelier is out of place in an informal room, while generic floor lamps are not suitable for a fine dining room. Choosing the formality of the room will help determine these basic interior design choices.

III. Frequency

Designing your dining room can be an expensive project, and before you choose to create an opulent formal setting, consider how frequently you will use it. If the dining room is pressed into service regularly for Sunday dinners, dinner parties, and holiday gatherings, it may be well worth it to seek professional advice, whereas if it is to be a casual or less frequently used room, your personal preferences may be all the design consultation you need.

IV. Accessibilty

One often overlooked consideration when designing dining rooms is accessibility. Naturally, there should be easy access to the kitchen, and if you plan on extensive entertaining it should be accessible to other gathering areas as well (living room, home theater, etc.). Furthermore, the dining room should be near a bathroom for convenience.

Not only does a dining room need to be accessible to other parts of the house, but it should be roomy enough that guests do not need to vacate their chairs to let other people pass or to retrieve dishes from a cabinet.

V. Furniture

The first consideration for dining room furniture should be the number of necessary chairs. Nothing will destroy a carefully designed dining room more quickly than importing folding chairs when extra seats are needed. Table size is also a factor: be sure to leave at least 24 inches of clearance around the perimeter of the room (while the chairs are in place around the table) to allow guests to move about freely.

Additional furniture in a dining room is a matter of personal preference. Many people choose to incorporate china cabinets into the décor to highlight fine china and crystal, and a wine rack would certainly not be out of place. When adding these extra pieces, however, always consider the available space and whether they will make the room uncomfortably crowded.

 VI. Lighting

Lighting is a crucial consideration when designing your dining room. Guests should have adequate light to appreciate the food without squinting, but the light should not be so harsh as to glare off a white tablecloth or dishes. Chandeliers are common fixtures in dining rooms, and they can be purchased in a variety of designs and styles to match any level of formality. When choosing lighting fixtures, take into account the presence of natural light: if you plan on hosting dinner parties, avoid western-facing windows that would focus the setting sun into your guest’s eyes.

Morning chores

Filed under: Housekeeping
My friends told me that I am a meticulous in organizing everything. Well, I really agree about that. I just want my things at home fully organized. I don’t like to see the bedroom and rest room a total mess! What I did after I woke up I need to fixed my bed  and clean my room  - I really make it sure that it is clean enough before I go out. After wards I would go to the rest room brushing my teeth and cleaning the restroom/bathroom. Then it’s time for me to cook my breakfast. Later on, breakfast is already served. After eating my meals I need to clean the kitchen, dining room, the living room and the foyer. After I finish cleaning my house then it’s time for me to clean myself! I take a bath, brushing my teeth once again, taking on my clothes and finally I’m on my way to the office!

I considered my morning chores as my healthy exercise it makes me more energized and make me satisfied to see everything i left is fully organized and clean… Later on I start my office work progressively and everything follows smoothly.

Start your day with a smile

Filed under: Behavior

I usually got off my bed with a smile on my lips. It helps to work out effectively all day long  and you become more productive and energized. Have you ever noticed how the way you start you day affects the way you feel throughout your entire day? When you start your day with a frown then your entire day will be a total mess!

It is possible to pick and choose how we would like to feel.Think of the wonderful things you have done. Remember It only takes a few seconds each morning before you get out of bed. Tell yourself "today is going to be a  wonderful day". Think about all the things you’re going to get done, all the fun you’re going to have, all the experiences you’re going to enjoy.Think about how good you’ll feel when everything goes well.

Then try to jump out of bed with that smile on your face as you begin your morning routine. Set your mood and make your day complete!
