As a self-confessed modern day woman, my sister-in-law used to buy furniture made of leather, glass, and top quality woods. She is the type of woman who would never go for plastics and ordinary woods for home furniture. She has always wanted her house to look stylish and elegant by furnishing it with classy fixtures. During our weekend family get together, I have told her about my husband’s (her brother) plan of purchasing a wooden book shelf he found on the Internet. She was initially noncommittal.
But the expanded bamboo shelf system that my husband bought was totally adorable. When it was delivered to our house, I already knew why my husband fell in love with it and insisted on buying the bamboo book shelf. The wood book case gave my husband and I a motif for our home’s new parlor.
The expanded bamboo shelf system is a robust furniture made entirely of bamboo. It is an ideal shelf system spacious enough to hold books, picture frames, and other knickknacks that very much go well with the shelf’s design. Crossbars at the back of the unit ensured further stability. It is a furniture perfect not only in living rooms but also in the den. Own one now for only $249 at www.stacksandstacks.com.
When my sister-in-law first caught sight of our bamboo-inspired parlor, to my surprised, she was amazed. For the first time she has appreciated furniture not made from leather and glass.

I’ve always wanted my kids to play with toys that they can also learn from. Educational toys are just awesome because they make for great gifts, and your kids will really find a lot of use for them. I happen to have the same sentiments when it comes to functional furniture. Pieces of furniture that could pass off as toys are also great items to have and give as presents. By choosing convertible furniture toys, you can involve your kids in designing their own rooms. This will definitely make them feel more valued and respected even at such tender ages.
The Kid’s Dollhouse Book Shelf creates the perfect setting for your kids to expand their skills. This kid furniture book case looks like a very large toy indeed (something my kids really enjoy), but it’s also very functional. Teach your kids to organize their toys and their books while they are also learning about potty training. Learn and play with your children as you take their favorite story book out of the shelf and instruct them to put it back neatly — it’s a fun and time-saving game every kid and their parent can play. Purchase this dollhouse book case for only $139 at www.stacksandstacks.com today.

I’ve always wanted to learn how to make a great cup of cappuccino. I look at the professional baristas in all the coffee places I usually go to and they do it with such ease — I’m this close to hopping over the counter every single time just so I can watch them more closely. My kitchen doesn’t have a cappuccino machine so I decided I should make do with my own version of the delicious hot drink. Who needs foam when I can make a good cup of joe and pump a hefty amount of fluffy cream on top?

Room make-overs are a pleasure to do, especially if you are working with a theme that tickles your fancy. It would be nice to experiment with different color palates and designs, but when you’re doing a room on a limited budget (and limited time), you instantly go for motifs that are close to your heart.
My husband’s favorite great aunt passed away early this year, and she certainly has been missed. Recently, my sister-in-law just finished fixing up a room in her house in honor of their late great aunt. We call it the Queen Elizabeth suite — she probably had zero amount of royal blood in her but she was definitely loved by all.
The guest room had a floral motif, something their great aunt was truly fond of when she was alive. To help with the finishing touches, my husband and I added a beautiful three-panel floor divider to the room. Now, the whole room looks absolutely amazing — their great aunt would’ve been happy to see it.
The floral room divider is an elegantly hand-painted piece that would fit any room or style. Use this folding room screen to part a seemingly larger space, decorate a corner, or create a more privacy. Order it now for $359 at www.stacksandstacks.com today.

After graduating from university, my mom and dad shared a few words of wisdom that only parents can say at the perfect time — dream big, start small, and work your way up. It seems like a no-brainer adage but many years later, I do appreciate their kind and encouraging advise. Even with simple tasks at home, I still keep those words in mind. If there’s an overwhelming pile of laundry to do, I just get in the zone, separate the whites from the colors, start with the kids’ extremely soiled clothing, move on to my husband’s shirts, finish up with mine, and before I know it, I’m propped down on the couch enjoying an afternoon mimosa.
As far as furniture shopping is concerned, there’s no point in buying the first four-poster king-size bed you see only to realize that you don’t have any space left for anything else. You can’t get a mansion-worthy dining room set either if you haven’t even considered the rest of the furniture you’ll be needing in the room. Dream big, start small — pick out something tasteful, refined, yet extremely adaptable. The Bay Dining Set from Powell Furniture, for example, is a dining room collection that’s all about smart buys and lush living. Get the dining room pedestal and chairs for $907.43 at www.everythingfurniture.com.

The latest trend in home and apartment plans today is the open area style. This is where the entire areas of the home — aside from the bedrooms and the baths — flow together. Walls are essentially seen as obstructions not only in air circulation, but it also cramps up a home and takes up a whole lot of space in the process.
For some, however, too much open spaces may cause privacy issues with the whole house visible to anyone. Dividers and partitions are an excellent choice since it does not completely shut out a room, while still hiding a portion of it from view. In the Luxury Housing Trend’s blog, LHT writes that textured partition glasses from Australia is something that should be given a second glance.
Made of glass, these great wall dividers still allow sound and light to pass through, but because it is textured, the elements are diffused, giving the occupants of the other room privacy. This is ideal for living or dining spaces, separating one from the other, especially if the space is limited. The bonus is that the textured partition glass is a great way to liven up a home. Guests may find themselves gaping in surprise and admiration at your great new functional decor. The downside is, since the partition is textured, there is a very slim chance of anyone running through it, so you can kiss that funny home video goodbye.

For art enthusiasts and artists, here is another fun way to add art into your homes. I am not going to talk about an artist or some painting he did which you can hang to your walls to brighten up your homes. If you are fond of still life paintings, I found this cool idea at ApartmentTheraphy.com which you can more or less consider artsy. The first time I read about it, it really made me smile, just as the author hoped.
According to the blog I read, designers Andre Klauser and Barnaby Barford have come up with the Still Life Fruit Bowl. You might wonder what is so fascinating about a fruit bowl. Well, the Still Life Fruit Bowl has an attached frame that makes the fruit you place in it look like a beautiful masterpiece. Not only is it very nice to look at, you can also reach inside the frame and grab the fruit if you happen to get hungry staring at it! I figure the Still Life Fruit Bowl would be an incredibly clever centerpiece for dining tables. The Still Life Fruit Bowls cost $75 a piece — not at all bad for a work of art, don’t you think?
