The Many Uses of BreezeBlock

August 5, 2021

Breezeblocks have a vintage vibe and provide an ornamental look to any design. There are so many ways to incorporate breeze blocks into your landscape designs.

Breezeblocks were very popular in the 50s & 60s. Not only do they provide some privacy but they allow ventilation, making it a perfect solution where privacy is an issue but you want some breeze coming through.

 

Sideboards, Credenzas or Buffets

It seems just about every dining room has either a sideboard, credenza, or buffet.  They are a staple to any dining room. A great way to store all your items. 


If you went shopping for these items you will know that they can be very costly!! But these pieces have the capacity to make a statement and are well worth the cost!!

Here are some examples of the many different styles. Each style is beautiful in its own right.

Do you remember the craze in the 90s when that Tuscan look was so popular? Well, it’s back. Of course, it’s not exactly the same, designs are always changing. But I love the raw feel of it. Reminds me of Europe. 

There are so many different techniques and styles. As you can see, there are many variations. Choose what’s best for you!!

Here are just a sample of what is out there.

Contemporary Shelf Designs

April 15, 2021

Contemporary shelf designs are an interesting way to add storage and interest to any room design. Some shelf comes in metal other or wood. Some are symmetrical and some are asymmetrical.

Whatever style you choose will add to the style of that space. It also helps display any collection you may have.

So tell me, where would you put these shelves? 

Open Concept On Its Way Out??

April 1, 2021

Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of designs with room dividers. Could this trend be the cause of covid? Maybe, but like anything else, design is always changing. 

However, it’s not exactly back to the way it was. Instead, we are now seeing what we call room dividers. These dividers can give you some privacy without completely cutting off the room. 

I really like it.
 

Suspended Kitchen Shelves

January 20, 2021
Suspended kitchen shelves are mounted on the ceiling and not attach to the walls. They hang down using metal supports with either glass or wood shelving.

They provide open storage. Definitely a unique look in kitchens!! They have a contemporary feel and blend really well with transitional kitchens. They can float over an Island or Penisula without blocking the view or light.

The one drawback; you have to keep them clean. They easily collect dust and you need to style them, so they look appealing.

Peel & Stick Wallpaper

January 6, 2021

Peel & stick wallpaper have been making their presence known as of late. They are a great alternative to wallpaper. Why? They are easy to apply, making them more versatile. And they are a great source to the renters.

Consider the many options. They can be used on the back of bookcases, on furniture, and in closets!! You can even have peel & stick wallpaper that looks like wood!! There are so many uses for peel & stick wallpaper and they come in many colors and patterns. Give them a try!!

 

Color in the Kitchen!!

November 13, 2020

Color in the kitchen!

 

Color in the kitchen? Why, yes, please. Today’s kitchen has a lot more color than it has in the past few years. Do you remember the 50’s when colored appliances were all the rage? Since then, color in the kitchen has all but phased out. But I’m starting to see the return of color in the kitchen, and I love it.

 

 

Don’t want to invest in a major (color appliance) purchase? Afraid it may be outdated in a few years? Then how about using smaller appliances?

 

There is so much to choose from. Anyone of these appliances can add so much color to your kitchen without a considerable commitment. Are you tired of the color? Switch it out to another color. It will indeed be expensive to switch out your coffee pot, toaster, or blender, but it’s a lot less than switching out your stove.
