How to anticipate the nightmare of Christmas

by

No doubt, the holiday rush is about to befall us, financial crisis or not ... I notice more and more inevitably subtle glossy magazines flourish according to my readings women, the timing of the Advent spread in stores (and disappear rather quickly, everyone decided to plan ahead this year?), street lighting adorn themselves with stars and interlacing and promise us a fairyland full of sparkle and sweetness ...

As you all and like every year, I reiterate my promise to myself or-ga-ni-service and do not find myself to go shopping preference December 24 to 17h in search of the ultimate ideal gift. I promise this time I will anticipate, predict, prevent, taste with relish for the week of December and my loved ones are synonymous for me with candles, mandarin, tangerine or even candles and crunchy biscuits.

So I thought it would be interesting to do a small tour of the decoration and identify good ideas and stylish accessories that will definitely please Tata Suzanne or why not myself. I therefore propose to achieve over the next 6 weeks, a jumble of gift ideas that will fall just as much interest and delight your wallets.

The opportunity is too good, why not start with what makes and breaks the harmony of the interior I named: the lighting?

One can always argue that a lamp is more a curio, a fancy bauble for uninspired people, I find instead that the lights are inside the books that are in culture: a constantly renewed experience which is never a surplus.

Original and smart, this lovely lamp branched combining shades and candle designed by Suck out of the ordinary radical and seems to invite us to give free rein to our imagination to bring us to infinite sets of lights. I particularly like the switch over very retro, a real tribute to both the vintage and the cottages of our English neighbors.

On a more modern (though a touch of fantasy in a non-trivial classical can express a very good taste), the lamp Moonwalk , creating fun but not frivolous gloss Thomas de Lussac , arouses my admiration. Finesse, this minimalist silhouette painted steel whose position reminds one not of intergalactic dance to fame seems to find its place in every room of the house and play lamps living room as well as pilot lights, and lamps office or bedside ... a veritable compendium of relatively affordable elegance.

But what will be in my humble opinion the must have winter left the workshop of a heavyweight global technology, with a lamp that fits any mood as it explores the entire color wheel and down into the 16 million colors. Its rounded case with a flat bottom contains a powerful LED - recall that the LED has the advantage of not heating and is characterized by longevity which, for this case touches the decade - which can, optionally, its scroll range of colors automatically or be programmed by selecting a specific shade of color, intensity, saturation and even ...

Candles and lanterns ... I love candles

quelques belles bougies inventives

some beautiful candles inventive

Like all girls and many boys, I love candles, and in the end with some good humor dawn I see the first frosts and declining day, because I see an opportunity to transform my home me into a cocoon of warm light.

The experience taught me not to hesitate to multiply genres and media. I have a predilection for the candles that have the merit of offering an infinity of lights and colors, depending on the shape, color and material support. Another benefit of weight: the candles are ultimately very profitable as running small tea lights otherwise known Teelichte the other side of the Rhine, which are far from being the most expensive in the world.
Ideally, to create an inviting interior, is not to fear excess, keeping in mind that these lights are very soft and that their addition will not cause glare than other emotion in your guests and / or small (s) friend (s). Personally, I turn everything that makes me feel at home - and believe me if you want, the choices are not the same every day and he rarely comes to the idea of ​​lighting along with all my photophores - then leave the room for a few moments back in the doorway to test in vivo the effect caused, generally positive.
What is nice with this type of lighting is its living aspect, fluctuating, and frankly sensual - for more information I recommend warmly The Psychoanalysis of Fire Bachelard - conducive to an absolute poetic experience. The additional flavors are completely negligible for my taste, often artificial, very heady, I prefer a more personal touch: a few drops of natural essence of lavender or almond deposited on spark ignition before, and what are the hours with delicate aromas guaranteed. If you want more glamor or are more egocentric, do not hesitate to replace gasoline with your own natural scent.

Lately, however, I just tend to get tired of my lanterns, candles wax and I miss them a little big, and I discovered with joy that ciriers decorators no longer hesitate to propose creative large format or hollow candles for lighting and deep satin sustainable ...

The Spanish Cerabella bayberry is a master in the field, and offers designs without pun, decidedly bright. Japanese style of candle lanterns for a Zen atmosphere with light spheres, cones, cubes through the vessels, all containers appear to have been reviewed to provide a comprehensive range for evenings and nights of rapture. Blow of heart special reference to the folds of our childhood, floating candles shaped like a boat will work wonders on a table runner or in your driveway.

Fan of candles, I'm not so far devoid of consciousness and presence of mind: these things contain the fire, which is not risk free. It is therefore useful to recall the rules of safe way: put your lights on stable surfaces and durable, free from drafts as well as small, curious hands, and make sure all your candles are extinguished before leaving the room.
As a bonus, I submit two proven tips and tricks to live better in the joys of the hearth in miniature
- Accident wax on furniture or clothing, do not scratch échinez the task, you will only ruin definitively support. Wait until the wax dryer, place a sheet of blotting paper or toilet paper on the task, and then switch without pressing the delicate iron thermostat. The wax will be absorbed by the absorbent paper like magic.
- For a warm winter the Slav-Scandinavian accents, make candles with mandarins. To do this, cut laterally mandarin and hollow out there taking care to preserve the white rod lower - which is the wick. Cut a circle in the upper part of the cap to allow air to circulate. Fill the inside of cooking oil, leave to soak the stem and turn the wick, closing with the hat. Magic and citrus odors guaranteed!
