Merry Christmas and New Year resolutions.

I have loved looking at all the most stunning Christmas pictures this year on blogs so here are just some of mine. Each picture has taken me 5 mins to load very frustrating and several times I have just gave trying to post. Never mind, I will work it out why blogger is so slow but at least I now have a few precious pictures to show you.

At the moment, like most people I know, we are busy spring cleaning and decluttering the house. There is nothing like the start of a new year to get you all inspired and finish off those projects that have lingered for too long! I have set 3 new year resolutions that I truly want to succeed in....

1. To be more organised
I have gone back to work full time this year so its important I still have a beautiful clean house, washing done folded away each night (I have 2 full loads a day hence why its an important chore), kids forms for their school activities signed and homework completed. They are my priorities for the home front. If that can be achieved then the rest will follow .

2. To be a nicer person.
Still working from the inside out...always! Not to get caught up in conversations that drag you down. I have been reading The 7 habits of Highly Effective People. I find this helps me more in my professional life but a classic book and interesting read.

3. To get my act together financially.
I love shopping and buying things but I need to take a step back and look at the real value of money. Yesterday, I spent half a day organising the study and getting all my son's old text books to sell at a second hand textbook shop. Then, I sat down for a good hour with a rubber and rubbed all the answers in pencils out of the books so the next child who bought it could enjoy it. I managed to sell the 6 language books for a total of $25 which in return I bought 2 more 2nd hand books for this year. The satisfaction I had from just a small amount was immeasurable...sometimes, just going back to basics is a lesson in itself.

Hope you enjoy my Christmas Pictures....

Minimalist Modern House Interior Design

After looking at various models of Modern Minimalist Home Design with Modern Design of a minimalist, you may ask. What about interior design and concept will be developed and built?, And various other questions.

This is the most common questions asked by people who rarely come into contact with the house Architectural Design Services. The target was initially just a minimalist, the expected course is to build appropriate housing and comfortable with a cost that is not burdensome.

So, the question to use Architectural Drawing Services when I want to make a minimalist home design certainly reasonable.

Previously, let us first distinguish between the design of the home construction and interior design. Design Construction is building design that looks outside while the interior design is the design in the building.

Home design using square footage. So usually the price of Architecture design is based on the percentage of the budget plan for the cost of building area (in m2).

Design minimalist house (or building in general) use the services of an architect can be categorized into the following categories:

Minimal: if you want to create the Architectural Drawing of floor plans, images appear and pieces and site observations / survey.

Medium: if you want to be made plus pictures bestek Architectural Drawing, aksonometri exterior (3D) in space and perspective (3D).

Full: if the picture above is equipped with a drawing of piping system, sanitary system, electrical installation, cost estimates, construction schedule and monitoring plan development (Building Construction).

Creating a minimalist home design (Architectural Design) aims to maximize all the functions on a minimalist home. Because it takes planning for what has been made not to be in vain, or make the house uncomfortable to be occupied. So when asked on an architect does not have to worry about the high cost because the cost of it is something that can be negotiated in the range of your budget.

The most important observed for the interior design is modern minimalist house Building Design lay-out for the interior space: whether it is appropriate to the climate of Indonesia or not. "Pretty-pretty facade of the house, if the layout does not match the needs, not be forced,"

The ideal Building Design House space-space should be functional, the relationship between well-coordinated space, air can flow smoothly into the Building Houses, as well as the morning sun. Thus, the existence of important openings and air vents in a minimalist home.

Minimalist house eliminates a lot of saturation on the use of decorative ornaments, knick-knacks accessories. Character and quality of spaces created is determined by the existence of space itself, not by the furniture and knick-knacks accessories in it. Space to be felt relieved as the primary needs of residents, to optimize the circulation of healthy fresh air and abundant sunshine lighting.

Typical homes have minimal natural lighting sources from windows, doors, transparent walls, shade trees, plants and pavement composition, the right will bring the shadow of the objects of sunlight reflected off the wall as a natural aesthetic separate element. While the game is very artistic lighting lamps, both spotlights, light plant, to the chandelier with geometric forms, will turn on the atmosphere of the evening in a minimalist home

Feng Shui Home Decorating Style

How to set Fengshui Home Decorating style • Draw a Layout of Your House

The first tip in feng shui is to get a plot or architectural rendering of your home. If one is not available, draw your own as best you can, marking each room, door, window, etc.
Make sure you note where north points in relation to your home or apartment. With this starting point, you can better utilize tips for improving your life. Each home has locations which focus on your family, your finances, your health, etc. Make sure you have a good foundation, by having a diagram of your home.

Is there a favorite room or spot in your home to which everyone seems to gravitate? What about an area that looked promising when you took the space, but turned out to be unused or uncomfortable to be in? Is your business prospering, or is money going out, not coming in? These situations, which I encounter frequently on initial visits with clients, can be solved using the art and science of ancient Chinese Feng shui principles (pronounced fung shway). We often hear the saying, "as goes our environment, so we go." Feng shui teaches us how to create harmony and balance around us. By taking a hard look around and opening up our environment to healthy energy (Chi), we can make changes in our work and living space that will create corresponding changes in our life.

• Door Placement

Ideally, your front door and back door will not line up with each other. If they do, according to the principles of Feng Shui, the chi (energy) will slip right through the house, without bringing benefits to the residents. If the doors do line up, you can help ease the problem by placing a large plant or other obstacle beside one of the doors, with an angled throw rug to encourage a path in a sideways direction.

• Get More Energy in Your Life

Give your life a little yang if you want more energy. Bring in the light. Open the curtains or blinds and let the sun shine in as often as possible. Green plants in your home will activate yang, bringing you joy and happiness. Yang can also be obtained from music, water, air, mirrors, wind chimes, bright colors and flowers. Try it and see!

• Make Your Dreams Come True

Do you have some positive goals or desires? To help make your dreams come true, position an indoor water fountain in a favorable area in your home. The water will attract the things you desire.

• Are You Seeing Red?

The rules of feng shui say to be careful with your use of the color red, which represents the element of fire. Do not use a red living room set. A red sofa and chair could bring undue work pressures and obstacles into your life. Likewise, don't use red in the wealth area.

• Bring Joy and Happiness In

Try decorating with more light, music, water, air, plants, mirrors, windchimes, bright colors, houseplants and flowers. Open the drapes, curtains or miniblinds all the way to let the sun shine in. This will activate the yang chi of joy and happiness.

• Get a Happy Relationship

The southwest area of your home is significant to satisfying relationships. Enhance this area, by eliminating clutter, and replacing it with symbolic items, especially in pairs. Good choices include pairs of candles, pink quartz crystals, heart shapes, or objects made of materials such as porcelain, china, clay, stone or terra-cotta. Stay away from wood or green items in this area.

• Feng Shui in the Dining Room

Round dining room tables are best because circles symbolize heavenly blessings. Dining room chairs should be of an even number and comfortable to sit in. Dining room décor should be simple, so it doesn't distract from the food

Before and After Glass Door Chalkboard

I found these beauties and they spoke to me.  Pick me, Pick me, so I did!  I had to use a degreaser because they must have been in a kitchen.  Eeewww.   I thought about breaking the glass and putting sheet metal, or a wood panel. 

 The glass panels were very yellow.  The camera is very forgiving in the shot!

Love the junk scene behind the glass panel.  I have to say it is organized chaos!  I painted several layers of chalkboard paint. 

I painted the wood panel a deep red and it's ready to be hung in a kitchen again!  I have one more glass panel left and I'm excited to see what I come up with next!
