This is not an egg

poubelle tri ovetto I was the first to think that said sorting, bulky trash said ... It was good to show some imagination ... While it is obviously impossible to ignore the different compartment that are the essence of said sorting bins, but - it was enough to think about it! - There is no reason to optimize space and ingenuity in design! A ingenuity that undoubtedly awaits its peak with the model Ovetto , created by Italian designer Gianluca Soldi .

What I do not miss

What is nice with having a third child, this is nothing that touches the need of early childhood is foreign to you and that one is able to provide a survival bag for all contingencies in two minutes by my watch.

With experience, I feel more able to distinguish between essential and superfluous (which does not mean I'm not adept as the superfluous!).

At the forefront of what I lack not there this

poubelle à couches Sangenic

Beware, I am not saying that diaper pail is inherently a useless invention, its indispensability seems even proved in spaces where our children thrive, as in nurseries.

Perhaps because our bins we have easily tends to fill faster than reason, I have myself never felt the need to enclose the remains of exchange in a container that traps odors and bacteria and ... cut short any reflux nauseous, I finally always found old newspapers offered a very practical package.

And I say this not only because I've always had the greatest difficulty in the world to throw the layer correctly in this trash bag and turn to the mechanism correctly after closing the lid!

100% VIP (P)

It's summer, between torpor and holidays, I feel a duty to offer a little culture by launching a large deco edutainment series:

"You also discover the story behind a brand."

Today, let's look at the brand Vipp , a happiness of Danish Scandinavian design roots well anchored ... Did you know that this prestige brand (if you do not believe me I'll leave the price of sifting) was his existence to a single hair salon?

Not?

Owl, you lie down with the feeling of having earned your day!

The purpose of Vipp lighthouse, one by which awareness comes, it's trash , gold, said bin was invented the day or Madam Vipp, a hairdresser by trade, solicited a metallurgist husband to the dustbin of manufactures teaches his future.

    [The scene takes place in Denmark in 1939]

    [Mrs Vipp (whose real name is Marie Nielsen)] - "Tell me Holger, where she is this garbage? How do you want me to have a customer if the ground remains of the store is covered with hair?

    [Mr. Holger Nielsen Vipp alias] - (It annoys me with his stories of trash, I'm milling my turner, not Gyro Gearloose ...) [aloud] I'm working my angel, I'm working! ...

(Author's note: the context and the dialogues are purely fictional. Any resemblance to existing facts or dead is purely coincidental.)

The bin in question was an immediate success and overwhelming to customers, marking the beginning of success and fame for Mr. Nielsen and his creation he named "Vipp", Danish verb meaning "switch" in reference to the mechanism foot.

The factory is growing, but the pattern changes little, keeping at heart to preserve square lines softened by rounded corners ...

His second commercial success, the Vipp is the youngest daughter of Nielsen, who took over the business upon the death of Mr, and decided to offer the bins to individuals - so far, only professionals had access.

Today, there is no stopping the brand after the launch of his collection of linens in 2006 - cotton towels and bamboo fiber - these are the accessories for the bathroom that have the wind in its sails ... The design is characteristic, but the palette (including graphics) is diversifying, and it is likely that the small Danish brand will bring more surprises for next season ...

Would I be the victim of a curse health? it is unconsciously the latest posts to date are devoted to a common theme :)

Join the fun at the trivial

Passion of the dispensable, when you hold us for several years ... Trying not to throw myself so completely brainless in the consumerist fever, I consider it my duty not to too often buy what I did not need objectively.

And as I also try to have two fingers savvy, I know it's interesting to desire something, it is the latency period prior delicious, one where we feel we get into the promised joy of finally having been long-awaited ...

But I'm submitting myself to this (monastic, it goes without saying) measurement discipline and temperance, my natural tendency to return a futile gallop ... I let myself necessarily take trap Game menus accessories and other fine things which I think the acquisition would make my life oh so delicious ... more It remains for me to indulge in a game rhetoric and dialectic with myself in order to justify the absolute necessity of my whims to the smooth running of the home ... Lab:

how to make every sack

how to make every sack

Among the current stimuli of my bad faith, there is the vase Sack , in anticipation of which I have constructed a rationale quite infallible like me you probably noticed that there was never the correct container when we offers flowers. It is still too wide, too tall, too narrow ... To highlight the beautiful grasses. With him, no more cutting moments in haste - and heartbreaking enough for a result - a bottle of mineral water to hold together a pretty flower arrangement: indeed, it turns at will thanks to its composition PVC thermoformable .

The principle is simple: it becomes malleable spent under hot water, then stiffens in cold water once the appropriate form found. This bright idea comes from PA Design , who strive to offer us decidedly everyday objects revisited through humor and difference.

Now that I have (legitimately) awarded a new jig, my (hypothetical future) kitchen (fitted) is already much better. Alas - thrice alas, I still have that banal pots, which do not allow me to cook or to proof as it should be my gardening shop market ...

after fridayware, cookware

after fridayware, cookware

Fortunately Royal VKB thought of me: I confess to remain completely speechless at the beauty of the vintage variety of casseroles Cookware - Dutch oven, exactly what I was missing! It's amazing how life is made.

They are not beautiful, these containers designed by Dutch designer Jan Hoekstra, here in full demonstration?

He thought his range taking into account the aspirations of every lover of the kitchen to the handling and performance: even if you cook an egg is a challenge, you're always a day or the other faces the problem of empty water in a pan without scalding and / or spread half the contents down the sink obviously crowded on all sides because it is so funny to wait until the previous meal reliefs are fossilized on plates to start the washing .

Here the problem is doubly easy closing system thanks to covers that offer you the luxury of emptying said water majestically, and finally broad and bent handles that allow a full grip. I'll have to find a way to make my cooking tools unusable.

In terms of interior design, I have a Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, that of small lights. My collection is starting to be consistent between lamps, lanterns and candles. But this is naturally enough, I always find most attractive.

So allow me to light this brick edited by Suck , which contains bulb photovoltaic (implying the total absence of any electrical system), I'll just content myself to play the card of emotion and the economy ecological.

I'm sure you're full of resources and also to ensure you provide decorative small pleasures ... Now that I have given you some of mine, I expect yours!

Between Heaven and Earth

Something new in the field of adhesive ... I know, this is typically the kind of hackneyed phrase by dint of being repeated, which is more respect for the ultimate decorative accessory of the moment *. (You have not guessed? Go down quickly at the bottom of this post for the answer Connaire)

Although I'm not, far from it, amateur of the genre, however I do not balk at recognizing a smart idea and interesting ... this is the case with two new models very nice:

a hopscotch adhesive to spend despite the rain

a hopscotch adhesive to spend despite the rain

Notice to the souls of children - which is not lulled by the comforting nostalgia of primary school ...? - Here is a real find, the sticker hopscotch, simple, elegant, discreet, because devoid of frills inevitable that the trend turns more and more likely to overload ...

This is Alaro fertile and talent of its creator Bérangère - who may succeed to reconcile myself with the stickers - that we owe this hopscotch and innocent as if she had just chalked ... It is in some a kind gift idea all found to be more credit for small and large detach from the console to get them, casually, to outdoor games indoor ...


le plastique c'est fantastique

plastic is fantastic

And if like me you become a Doctor of spots to force me to fix your missteps, or if you're tired of asking you whether or not to put salt on red wine (the answer is no), why no coating change and opt for carpet sticker designed by Ephemeral Invasions , led by the abundant and beautiful Sofia Antonovich?

delete langle death

remove the blind spot

Its floral arabesques give it a little side Laura Ashley very much in the cocooning trend of the moment. Composed of four triangular panels that can be associated with the center of the room, it is also very stylish as ornamental corner, why not in a kitchen or under the umbrella of the entrance.

dinquiétudes more ....

most concern ...

A real bargain, anyway, that this carpet, Pierre Richard for all budding or in the flesh: it cleans with sponge, resists scratches as the blows of heels, and not likely to become a nursery to dust.

* The answer is: the adhesive vinyls, more commonly known under the term Anglo-Saxon stickers. Etymological brief aside, note also that the noun adhesive is from the Latin adherare: be firmly attached to something, and that the verb to be stick from a proto-Indo-European term referring to what is left permanently in place ... interesting nuance, is it not?

I Want the Sun (2): mens sana in balneariis Sanis

Following our great series on the influence of a deco successful morning on our moods today:

the morning ablutions.

If like me you have an old gas boiler generation, you know the cruel dilemma of Scottish shower and the torment of boiling it ... tough choice enough to ruin most of my mornings, I try to decorate my room bath so as to have the heart and mind occupied by other considerations.
And it is at the light - as always often - everything is played ... It's hard in a bathroom, not to quickly descend into kitsch, if like me you have spent a long time to survey the rays of light fixtures stores in search of a wall that does not remember forever the shower in a hotel for 30 years, you probably understand my torment.

As so often, salvation is trans, I do not see that Artemide to save face ... Round or square , its moisture resistant wall are ideal for ponds and scientific and literary minds. This changes the eternal ceiling paper folding ...

Naturally, there is always a bit tricky to stand fully in the bathroom: whatever you do, the pre-requisites are more or less identical, sinks, shower / tub / cabinet (s) Storage / towel-thrown-in-bulk-to-s' soak-d'humidité ...
But it seems that the madness of creative hobbies affecting more and more surely the design world, I recently discovered a sink that will delight the most daring - and wealthy - who of us is reminiscent of the below from flat to decorate yourself, you know, these models are double glazed with small compartments that can enhance the environment in a thousand little things. Here is a giant version of a model 100% transparent glass (very strong) Italbrass home, not only stylish, but also incredibly subversive because it can act as an aquarium ...

Everything is provided, the openings at the top removable, light filter, to animate the bathroom ...

If the fact of your makeup over a vivarium bother you - myself am not sure to find my account - it is also possible to decorate the basin of sand and dried flowers, shells, logs, plants, or holiday memories.

An idea that will probably his way ... I bet a box of chocolates that find this kind of configurable to suit his moods will make its way into more than one room in the house.

This is certainly one way to distinguish his devilishly original bathroom and take pleasure in entering it, even after a short night.

But the approval may take forms more accessible, and on this point, I still think that the accessories have a fundamental role to play. One pitfall, however: the abundance outrageous (it is not necessary to mutate the piece gadget-mobile). But few small items will have the practical and original gift to brighten your space while promoting his organization.
A nice little example (attention, prudish minds refrain): these fun coat hooks Fifi and Fafa imagined by Banal Extra away so naughty male and female attributes to accommodate bathrobes and towels.

Vulgar? at all, look at these lines naive, this simple design, these solid colors, there is much humor and detachment in these objects, and what force the admiration of your friends, who, themselves, would never such streak of humor.

Do not despair if you are more blue flower, you too, elegance and lightness are available! Just little to give a pond a little fresh air and happy, such as a bung original created by Funtastique Plastic, like this bathing cap fantasy float shaped like a boat.

It is not cute, this little boat worthy of our best folding child?

Another good idea, this country with this hold true basin of green rubber in Umbra , who with his son long imitation grass is ideal for storing toothbrushes and toothpaste for children and adults.

And to defy the laws of gravity at all times and have clean towels and folded well in hand, I can not resist the pleasure to introduce you to, always with Umbra, the towel invisible , intelligent real wall shelf provided with a thin strip which slides in the towel, creating a stable and unique, giving the impression of floating in the air like a beautiful carpet.

Farewell bad morning, the bathroom becomes a design piece in itself!

Stay tuned for new adventures .... Deco

des poubelles qui inspirent

bins that inspire

What is frustrating to be with the everyday world of design is to detect quickly enough that without enough available stock, place or just need real, the thousand and one inventions frisky fashion objects remain largely elusive. For example, I recently took the full measure of functional beauty bins Brabantia , especially models Touch Bin from which are constantly making me look with profound contempt my ridiculous plastic trash. Unfortunately for me, it is still in perfect condition, and I'm not so violent that I come a deadly drive for it. But what a fright when I see it, with its lid to grow naturally permeable to all odors and waste tights. And to think I was so happy when it was acquired, for the first time, I had the feeling of being in possession of a suitable receptacle, large (30 liters!) Cylindrical, finally sober, which made me go in the course of the great offering me to indulge in endless considerations on different brands of trash bags and not to keep me abreast of plastic bags which I try also to make use of smaller , false good environmental conscience requires.

So it is with unconcealed joy that I can now fill this gap by measuring all the necessity to have a bathroom trash can . As this is an accessory which is still lacking, I did not hesitate any longer.

This light note, however, conceals a real inner torment for amateur interior maintenance I am. Do not get me wrong, I obviously more projects in life than living in the household and detergents, but like many, I have a little tendency to fussiness for matters relating to cleanliness, although I claim to be blameless in this regard. Going back to my torments household - joining some difficulties in my rational storage of all my store - I would dream of renewing all that can fully participate in household hygiene

Same cause and same effects with regard to the laundry ... I did not complain since I recently acquired a laundry basket quite lovely wood and fabric that would be perfect if the quality of fabrication for fantastical did relax the seams to make it look like its contents: a pile of clothes in despair. I have an idea of doubling the basic basket of a second, stronger probably - it's not just Brabantia in life, aim a little model Vipp minimalist design perfect ...

ceci n'est pas un thermos

this is not a thermos

And ... to propose a new destiny by turning it into basket for ironing clothes ... because it's nice to be able to hide its dirty laundry, it is still necessary to do the same once the clean, dry cloth, everyone not lucky enough to have a cleaning lady.

Despite a sometimes inadequate equipment, I try to keep my home free of dirt. I give you some bonus tips for effective cleaning without being too aggressive for the environment: white vinegar (a classic) to polish the chrome and remove limestone, and baking soda to whiten the enamel. All the subtlety lies in the fact of depositing the powder in a thick layer and leave on for fifteen minutes before scrubbing and rinsing. Miraculous results guaranteed! And dust, adopt glycerin: soak the cloth with a few drops of this liquid slightly viscous, the dust is captured by the cloth and your furniture will shine brightly.
