Coat Stands, Not All Of Them Get To Dance

Coat Stands, Not All Of Them Get To Dance

I first fell in love with a coat stands when I watched one dancing with Fred Astaire in the 1951 classic film, A Royal Wedding. Of course, Fred ended up with the girl, not a coat holder, but just the same I knew that when I had a house of my own, I’d have one just like it. Of course, that was a very long time ago, but classic coat trees like the one that tripped the light fantastic with Fred are still available at better furniture retailers, along with some exciting new renditions. Not all of them can dance, but they all serve a quite useful purpose. Coat stands, (also called coat trees or in some areas, hall trees) are designed for the express purpose of holding ones outerwear (coats, jackets, sweaters, hats, etc.) when you enter the house. This being the case, you’ll usually find them in the entry or foyer of the main entrance to the home. While some look like trees, others resemble benches with raised poles on either end sporting brass hooks to hang items. Many even include a metal bin for umbrellas. While coat stands tend to get more use in the wintertime, wet weather gear...

Café Furniture Ideas Brings Outdoor Charm Indoors

Café Furniture Ideas Brings Outdoor Charm Indoors Do you want to pull of the look of a street-side café in Paris, on a budget, even better, inside your own home? Go ahead. The charm and ambiance of a Parisian bistro can be imported from the outside to the inside with a few décor modifications and the result can be festive, light-hearted and fun. You’ll need to prepare the space, select the appropriate style and size of café furniture and add a few special touches to make it your own. Start by choosing a room with lots of windows. If you don’t have windows, then be creative. Paint windows on the wall or hang large paintings of outdoor scenes that make it look as if you can see outside. If you’ve got Paris style landscapes, it will be all the better. Mirrors to reflect the view from a smaller window will work, too. Then, clean out everything nonessential. If you’ve already got tile floors, perfect! If not, try using a few throw rugs to simulate a tile pattern. You want to keep it informal and fun! The café furniture should be the same sturdy stuff you’d use out of doors. Inside, however, you probably...

Bathroom Storage The More The Better

Bathroom Storage The More The Better

I personally do not believe you can have too much bathroom storage. Let’s face it. There are lots of things that you need to store in the bathroom, where you use them. It really doesn’t make a lot of sense to store your soap, shampoo and conditioner in the laundry room, when you don’t shower there. Unfortunately, most bathrooms are sadly lacking in adequate built-in storage facilities. That means you either put up with a cluttered bathroom or you go shopping. Bathroom storage needs to hold a lot more than just those spare rolls of toilet paper. Let’s start with the basics. You need linens. Towels, washcloths and other bath linens have to be somewhere when they are not hanging on the towel rack. You could put it under the sink, in that tiny cabinet with the drainpipe hanging down in the middle? But, if you’re like most folks, you’ve already got that pretty full with things like spare rolls of toilet paper. So, why not purchase a towel cabinet, either the enclosed, wall-mounted variety or a stand up that creates open shelving above the toilet tank? Both would hold lots of spare linen and solve one of your storage issues. Another...

Dining Set Add Sophistication to Your Dining Room

A good dinning arrangement adds more value to your dining room, as well as to your food serving. When you are going to buy a dining sets, you must consider the size of your room and some other facts. If you have a large dining room, you can go for a large dining set. But if there is small space in the room, a large dining set will look odd and more congested. If you live in a dusty area, never ever go for a light color. Otherwise, it will look older within days. If you have small children at home, a wooden dining set will be ideal. And a glass-top in such case will be much riskier for your kids, as well as financially. If you want a dining arrangement that looks very rich, have high-armed chairs and build everything high in the middle together with tall glasses, tall decorations etc. You can have a rich arrangement with low chairs as well, but the chairs should not be ordinary. Small details can make things look classy. But for everyday necessity, have easy-to-use chairs that are light, can be pulled out easily and are made with a fabric that doesn’t get...
