Dance like nobody's watching, love like you've never been hurt. Sing like nobody's listening, live like it's heaven on earth. -Mark Twain-

Working in the kitchen

                                  
Not everyone has an extra room for a “home office.”
Sometimes you have to get creative and double your living space as a work space.

Check out some of these very neat work spaces.







                           

Falling Leaves

            
Little leaves fall softly down
Red and yellow, orange and brown
Whirling, twirling round and round
Falling softly to the ground
Little leaves fall softly down
To make a carpet on the ground.
Then, swish, the wind comes whistling by
And sends them dancing to the sky.

White tabletop accessories

                    
Everyone knows that white never goes out of style, so why should your tabletop? Investing in classic white tableware and accessories is a must for the avid entertainer.


A white ceramic jar is one of the most multifunctional pieces you can buy for your tabletop -- it can hold flowers, cutlery, sugar, milk, etc.


This quilted cotton table runner is the perfect way to add some texture to a neutral tabletop. Plus, I love the French Country style it evokes.
 
 
Since soup comes in all shades and colours, you'll want to have a neutral tureen to complement any kind you serve up.
                           

Is it over yet... Nooooooooo!

                        
A fun patio party has a pretty basic formula: great company + fab weather. But if you want to heat things up a couple degrees, you need to set the scene with a few key summer essentials. Pretty outdoor decor, candlelight, music, food, wine or cocktails fit the bill. Here are some versatile finds that will help you create the perfect patio-party.


9 Drinks
Sangria. Without fail, it's the best summer party drink. And when you add edible flowers and different-shape ice cubes to the bowl, it becomes your centrepiece.

10 Back-to-nature decor
Simple, colourful decor, using whatever you happen to have on hand, as the way to go this summer.

11 Mood lighting:
Use hurricane lanterns, votives or twinkling string lights to create a winsome mood.
Ensure safety with path lights or landscape lighting along paths and near decks and patios.
 
12 Atmospheric essentials
Setting the mood at a summer party is pretty easy: strategic candlelight, music and a nice tabletop pretty much set the mood. The sultry weather, starlight and great company take care of the rest.

Amazing Door Design

                        
Absolutely fantastic idea from Simpson doors, they are magnetic chalkboard doors. Write on them, stick magnets to them, let your kids have fun writing on your door. These would be especially nice for people who don't have a ton of room to work with and need to utilize every inch of their living space.


The minjjoo children’s door makes the little ones feel big. Via the small door children have access to their own room and their personal world…also, This door can be painted on!!!!!


HoHo.. The effect is to cool you have to admit. It is done by a talented artist from Argentina named Leandro Erlich.


Jei, A funny Ping Pong Door


The series of holes in the door can be opened and closed by sliding the knob; which adjusts the amount of light, air and noise between two rooms.
