A project by Longhi Architects, the house was a challenging develop positioned proper on the sandy dunes of the shoreline, with a requirement for a wide-open style that did not sacrifice privacy. The house’;s reduced floor is covered in glass windows, and consists of nearly all of its public rooms. A smaller upper level, situated principally at the beach side, has windows only along 1 edge, facing the shore. This section of the house includes its private bedrooms and bathrooms, and sits above a portion of its outdoor deck. Bordered on each sides by stone privacy walls, the rear deck contains expansive space for entertaining and lounging, including a lit infinity pool which adds visual interest and color to its beachside facade.


Inside the residence, a exclusive arrangement of rooms is employed to make the most of the coast’;s sights and sounds while keeping person isolation in mind. The complete very first floor of the dwelling is dedicated to entertaining and living, with a living/dining area combination which stretches a full two and a half stories tall, all completed in transparent glass.

An incredibly novel “bridge” runs from the entry foyer, above the living area, to the module which includes the private areas of the home, enabling that section to remain completely separate from the public wing beneath.

The result is a cohesive yet separate set of spaces within a single expansive area.

Beautiful Table From 350 Year Old Oak By Braun And Braun

Beautiful Table From 350 Year Old Oak By Braun And Braun


stunning table year oak braun and braun thumb Beautiful Table From 350 Year Old Oak By Braun And Braun others One strong plank of wood from a 350-year-old Oak tree was employed to generate this quite impressive 320x110cm table. Developed and produced by Christa Braun and Christoph Braun from Berngau, Germany, Table 0007 is an amazing instance of what can be carried out with a little vision and the correct tools. The weight of this plank demands substantial support, yet the base does not overpower the best, in reality it is perfectly proportioned with the thickness of the slab. What an great table for either a dining space or a conference.

With every row defining a year of growth, and every single knot highlighting the location of a branch, the plank tells the history of the oak making this table a correct storyteller.

Beautiful Window Treatments for Bedrooms





Author Jackie Dishner




Whether looking for romantic ambiance,

blinds to control sunlight or window treatments to protect your privacy,

design experts uncover seven ways to dress up bedroom windows.




Drape With Silk

For a luxurious and romantic ambiance in the boudoir, designer Sharon McCormick pampers the bedroom in silk drapery panels, choosing a restful, sea glass color. Add pleats, tassels, crystals, beads or buttons for a custom touch. Included underneath is a remote-controlled window shade for privacy.



Metallic Finishes

If it's drama you like, you can get it with hardware. New Englander Sharon McCormick loves bedroom drapes that hang from large wooden rods in metallic finishes. Add more personality to the frame by selecting elaborate, crystal or fabric-wrapped finials.



Mix It Up

Designer Kati Curtis favors a combination of simple sheer and opaque draperies in her Manhattan bedroom designs. The sheer fabric stays open during the day to allow light in. At night, the opaque panels help buffer sound and keep light out for a good night's sleep. For a sleek touch, hardware is hidden in the window pocket.



Pleat From Floor To Ceiling

Choose a traverse or gathered rod and cover the entire wall by hanging pleated window treatments from floor to ceiling. Chicago-based designer Mary Susan Bicicchi creates a coccon-like feel with black-and-white patterned drapes in her own bedroom. Use the treatment to make a small room feel larger or open up a room with tall, skinny windows like hers.



Hang in Layers

To soften the look and add dimension to a bedroom window, California-based designer Lada Webster loves to use layers. She suggests adding a pattern to one of the layers to create a whimsical look or touch of character. Then it becomes a focal point in your private space.



Oversized Hardware

DrapeStyle designer Rick Thompson created this urban chic panel with oversized grommets and topped off with chocolate brown silk banding. The lighter metallic mesh fabric provides privacy, yet still allows light into the room. Oversized grommets work well in a smaller space with fewer windows and in contemporary settings, if you want the hardware revealed.



Trim With Fabric

Add a fun element to the bedroom decor with a simple, rectangular valance accentuated with beaded fringe, says Washington state designer Natalia Smith. It's a clean, unobstructed look that opens the room to light and color and adds the finishing touch — as long as the fabric in the valance matches what's on the pillows and bedding. Smith prefers a cornice with simple padding and a finished edge at the bottom for transitional, as opposed to traditional, style.

10 Beautiful Living Room Spaces

Creating living spaces that are beautiful, trendy yet comfortable may not seem easy, but a look below will come in handy. Here is our Friday round up of some cool living rooms that we have come across lately.











2012 Ideas for Beautiful Living Room Makeover

Boring, boxy rooms with zero personality: Raise your hand if you've got one. Better Homes and Gardens decorating editor Amy Panos did. Take a peek at how she and BHG remodeling coach Meredith Ladik turned a 1970s suburban room into something special.


Creating a Peaceful Space 

To dress up the space and create unity between the dining room and living room, Amy and Meredith chose to add instant character with classic-looking wainscot. Amy chose to wrap the room in urethane trim because, compared to wood, it comes in more styles, is lighter in weight, and is easier to install. 

Editor's Tip: It's perfectly OK to place furniture in the middle of a room. Just keep the visual footprint light (a pair of chairs works better than a sofa) and pick pieces that look good from all sides.


Window Wise

Vinyl replacement windows with Energy Star-rated glass are more efficient than the 1970s originals, and the trim never has to be painted. Plus they can be ordered to the size of the existing opening, which saves on installation costs.


On the Ledge 

Three styles of molding were stacked to create a chunky ledge atop the wainscot. The result: a built-in spot for displaying art at eye level.


Desk Space 

Amy took the corner of the room and created a little office that is perfect for paying bills. 
Editor's Tip: Picking paint colors is a challenge, but landing on the right blue proved extra tricky. If you want a gray-blue, like Amy did, you have to go much grayer than you ever imagined. We must have tried a dozen different shades. Thank goodness for $4 sample paint pots.


Pretty Dining

To connect the dining and living room, Amy continued the color scheme and wainscot around the room. Adding more storage in the dining room was a must. Replacing a pair of rickety bookcases with glass-front cabinets gives the dining room structure and storage capacity. The cabinets are semi-custom, meaning you can choose the door style, finish, size, and extra trim for the top and bottom to give them a built-in look.


Handy Hostess Station 

Pairing 12-inch-deep upper cabinets with deeper lower cabinets allowed the units to tuck neatly under the existing soffit while still offering plenty of storage. It also left space for a small countertop -- handy for setting dishes or food to serve.


Hidden Storage 

Tucked below the window seat, large drawers are the perfect place to hide extra china and crystal but keep them handy if needed.
