The Saint of the Day

At the Saint Blaise, in your sink you feel at ease.

Among the great joys and little annoyances, I have not been very prolific lately ...

If the joys abound in my life with many children, small household hassles are not non-existent (I admit there are worse) ...

In particular, I more and more regularly in trouble with the towel from the kitchen, which always has the knack to get stuck in the most inaccessible location of the sink (full), carefully squashed between pot cast iron and porcelain plates, forcing me to put up my brackets for the dishes to indulge in advance to a perilous rescue Speleological said sponge, where the risk is great to see pottery and utensils collapse in joyful and sharp debris.

It is perhaps time that I remedied the problem by opting for a sponge holder which would give it a place suitable and immutable, unsurpassed accessibility, properly noted on the inner edge of the sink.

In Umbra , there are several kinds in mesh or plastic , sink single or dual , and feature a patented adhesive system that apparently ensures a sure grip.

porte-eponge umbra

However, I will not deny that the sponge holder from home C.Quoi , is far from displeasing me. Loving her little air seems to give a smile to all who are not the dishes an innate predisposition and there are many , All at a cost comparable after all (press patriot and more :) ...

porte-eponge C.Quoi

The alternative, it would obviously have this

lave-vaisselle retro Smeg

But there I borders on off-topic!

J-7 ... we do not panic

So you either you have not finished shopping despite your good resolutions passed? I share your concern with all my heart, I'm not that far from being in the same case.

    However, all that I'm disorganized, I none the less good girl who is reluctant not to give you my final recommendations for a successful Christmas ideas (and the top 5 of my gift ideas, go here ).

    Re Begin our weekly selection with some basic otherwise known as the tasteful choice that will satisfy everyone:

      Photo-willow

      Weeping willow design not

      Like you, I have attended in recent years the rise of digital photography and the decline of old-spouse silver photographs. Although I am as much delighted to be able to fit my bad shots without wasting film, I harbor a certain nostalgia for paper prints, those who caused us some nice surprises and excitement awaiting crossbred to idea of ​​discovering the appearance after dropping the little box at the photographer. This is my kind of nostalgic for that I dedicate particular tree weeping willow how to pictures Fotofalls home Umbra (who says?) who offers to do anything other than snapshots of our parking them at the bottom of an album that we no longer look at the evening a little depressed last day to ruminate on our lost youth. Seriously, I am excited by this find that, cleverly decorated, is an authentic object of decoration customizable at will.

      Having spun a sweet romance, Ms. Shim and Mr. Disco married and had many children of all colors:

      pretty lamps for ambience seek to define home

      It is indeed, every fairy tale aside, the natural descent that comes naturally to mind when I look at the pretty lights Impact acrylic transparencies in any rainbow. Fun, retro, baroque and modern at once, they will make a lamp perfect atmosphere for the inputs and cozy lounges. I personally have a soft spot for the black color trend of the moment if any.

      Table hours

      Useful gift, gift futile? nay, especially if they were from Black & Blum , two designers of obedience Helvetian-Anglo-American who can reinvent our functional objects to give them a new youth dimension, like the table-clock Time Square where you will have time to either:

      - Design your menu for Christmas Eve and shopping related

      - Organize your appointments most urgent

      - Display photos of your vacation / Cherubim


      Although the season does not lend itself, I have a real shot in the heart that I wish to share the planters with reservoir from home Rephorm , come with an adjustable mounting bar for all frames, allowing you to green balcony and the windows without the risk of falling below your plant. From there give me a green thumb, there is a canyon that I dare not, however, certainly not cross. However, it seems to me he found a gift for all gardeners, who will inaugurate the early hours of the spring, ensuring that your present for more than a sustainable ...

      Good luck to all for the last steps of the ante-Christmas marathon

      Hook Noster

      Did you know that the peg that serves us so opportunely to hang our jackets and coats, thus sparing us the pain of our closet space - it is always too busy - takes its name from its resemblance - in terms of form - a small eponymous dish, which in ancient times was used to collect offerings?

      If you're one of those that the difference between the hanger and the hanger above challenge, so here's one answer: literally, the coat is the entire device, more prosaically the bar as such, the hooks being the ornament to hang on to your belongings. I agree, the changes in forms and materials are more confusing than ever.

      Any consideration etymological aside, I convince myself every day just over the great utility of these accessories, and now being free as the wind came, all I have difficulty in finding, for my coat , a location that allows it to be at once accessible and not to tie up the space ...

      Nothing upsets me more than to attend the wandering of my static three-quarters of a chair or couch, which is enough to destroy all my efforts to make my home an ordered space ... if it is having to store it in my closet, and I engage in dual quest and handlebars, and the ideal space that will not look like a pile of rags on my next outing.

      In short, in a nutshell, I'm ready for buying a coat worthy of the name.

      It's Umbra probably wins the prize for the smartest coat - which also prevents it from being also very stylish - with its model Flip wood with hooks shrink. Me that prefers appreciate a clean and simple decor, I could not remain indifferent to this elegant copy, which will bring style to all entries.

      The problem is that it is nowadays rarely broken only one equipped with its cape. Hats and other hats aside, it is rather rare not carrying around an armada of essential Telephone and other accessories wallets that take over the hood of that purse, including yours, gentlemen, if so. Calligaris overcomes this eventuality and allows us, with the coat rack in wood and steel Lanscape , gather everything you or your guests will have to unload before crossing your threshold. The shelf is a 25-cm depth, detail and comfortable I imagine savament ... As for the lines studied, they are the very image of the Italian brand: elegant, neat, wonderful ...

      But this time it is to Paolodesign and mini Teddy coat that my interest lies. No doubt this crunchy little face and his ursine paws welcoming the gift will bring their little dose of good humor to the most austere days. I would also like to take this opportunity to me openly rebelling against the fact that these hangers - one of the variations of a wildlife series fantasy - are in the collective imagination exclusively for under 13. I really do not see why the innocent joke would not have its place also in the world parts of adults, but not!

      Mirror, mirror ...

      This is the ultimate accessory of the moment, at a time when the trend is for small spaces and narrow parts. The mirror, in fact, is not only essential attribute of Narcissus on all sides, but especially a great provider perspectives, reducing the temptation claustrophobia inherent in the fact of change in a small space.

      Indeed, intelligently placed, a mirror may well overcome the narrowness of an entry or a small kitchen. Another advantage is that said mirror and said reverberation as possible to fully illuminate parts too dark.

      In terms of design, the reflective gear are unaware of the crisis and come in all shapes and sizes ... Here is a small selection which will allow you, if your heart tells you, to transform your home into a veritable hall of mirrors!

      If the media and traditional settings bother you, you, thanks to the inspiration of Matali and Domestic, the opportunity to admire in a free from the constraints of the genre, with its shaped silhouette face, the mirror Alice plexiglass adhesive will invite you to dream heroine of Lewis Carroll, as suggested by very explicitly aillor its pretty name ...

      It is difficult to say that the mirrors so-called "practical and functional" embody itself the epitome of elegance. No, I do not deny in their deep utility, even their indispensability to ensure "full length" of his good behavior and check that our pants fall correctly on our shoes. But, like ironing boards, brooms and vacuum cleaners, they are inevitable but rarely won by fever aesthetic. This glaring fact at least has the merit of allowing laudable exceptions stand out dramatically from their congeners, the mirror image of Trellis door clothes at Umbra , underneath whose four supporting bars clever storage ...

      It goes without saying that such an accessory gives us no excuse to throw our clothes around our room and do not plan before going to bed we held the next day.

      The news will not surprise you, to strengthen the impression of space, it is useful to boost prospects. An interesting solution could be hung in strategic areas different styles of mirrors, to create a play of light, which, through multiple réfléchissements, can help to illuminate both the parts properly and indirectly. Natuellement, have an accurate eye, time and patience for this task are hardue serious advantages.

      Attractive alternative, you can also opt for an unstructured mirror, which will gradually reflect a single light source. It's a crazy idea, always performed by Umbra, who with his mirror Mosh , succeeds the bet to renew a chestnut tree decoration ... I let you enjoy this overlap of 11 mirrors, sometimes vertically, sometimes horizontally and often diagonally. For the record, Umbra to recognize a great humor and deep knowledge of the lexia Punko-hardcore, as the Mosh is a dance (?) Well known to regulars of heavy metal concerts consisting mainly arms and legs waving frantically and jump from one against on the other ... a kind of pogo to the extreme in some way ... I bet after that brief language, you consider this mirror from a new perspective (that which is perfect for a post devoted to reflection ...)

      On a more peaceful, I could not end this entry without you present one of the countless wonders of the French brand Bleu Nature. This porthole mirror is both simple and highly sought after in my opinion deserves the epithet '... Nothing is too wonderful or too little here, the framework, composed of twigs, driftwood, masterfully frames the ice surrounding it with a unique natural setting. Like all other creations of the brand, this mirror brings to life what nature has immortalized: in fact, in addition to their method of construction crafts, products Bleu Nature have in common to be created from materials gleaned at the option beaches and promenades, in the image of these branches frayed by water and wind. I'll come back more substantially on other works of the brand that deserves a long detour by itself.

      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
