Stylish Bedroom Interior Design In Black White Green Colors

Interior

With the internet becoming more and more prevalent in today’s society, it comes as no surprise that many people now have the ability to work form home. You are one of those people, and have allotted a room in your house as your office space. However, the room is rather bare at the moment, and you want to liven up your work space.

The first thing that you need to think about is the primary use of your home office. For example, will it be the kind of place that you have clients come in to visit? Or, will it be the kind of place that you use just for yourself? This will make a difference in the overall theme.

If you are going to have clients in it, you will, of course, need to choose a design that is professional. Thus, you should allot a certain area of your area to a couch or a couple of plush chairs, along with a coffee table and reading materials. Ideally, leather is the most professional look for this area.

Regardless of whether or not you will be having clients , you should make the atmosphere as comfortable as possible. For example, what is one thing that you notice? If you answered fish tanks, then you have the right answer! Why are there fish tanks in so many offices? The answer is that it is relaxing to watch the fish, and it is also a stylish addition.

Thus, you should consider having a fish tank as well. If, however, you do not want to deal with the upkeep of having one, you can also consider something in the same area, such as a waterfall. However, while this office interior design is a great way to make your home office more interesting, make sure the sounds are not distracting you from your work!

The most important section of any home office is the workstation itself. You will need a desk that can comfortably accommodate your PC as well as files and other important supplies. However, make sure that the desk is not so large that it takes up the majority of the room. You can find office workstations at your local furniture store.

Before & After With Interior Designer Marlene Buckner

We've encouraged interior designers in our area to show us their before and after pictures of projects they've completed. We want to give you an idea through their examples why we recommend you use an interior designer.

Our latest example is from Marlene Buckner, president elect of ASID Oregon Chapter, and a consummate professional having passed the National Council for Interior Design Qualification Exam (NCIDQ)

This 1916 residence in Dunthorpe was designed by famous Portland Architect Wade Hampton Pipes. The kitchen was so small the family ate at the farm table that doubled as a work surface. After Marlene designed an 8 foot addition on the opposite end of the room and developed the kitchen design with the homeowners, a new larger kitchen emerged that included an island and nook with built-in banquette seating (in the old kitchen location).



True to the period, painted cabinets with inset doors from Wood-Mode were installed and a satin-etched Mysore Black granite counter was chosen for its aged appearance.

Challenges included lacing in and finishing the new oak kitchen floor to blend seamlessly with the original 90-year-old oak floors found everywhere else. The oven cabinet also required careful modification to bypass the top two steps to the landing above that were hidden in a soffit.

Due to the complexity of this addition and the beauty of its integration with the original home, this project received the 2008 ORA Outstanding Remodeling Achievement Award as well as the prestigious national Chrysalis Award for Best Residential Addition in its price category.

Marlene Buckner specializes in Spatial Design, Kitchens, Baths, and Interiors and is a Certified Kitchen and Bath Designer through NKBA.

Thank-You Cards

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You....
Because of the exhibit showcase I just put on, we've been working on invitations, press releases, installations and so much more, but one of the things I think is still important in art and in etiquette is Thank You cards. SFGirlbythebay blog just put on a great blog post about Thank You cards, but I scoured Etsy.com to bring you the best.

(All above photos from Etsy.com, search Thank You cards.)

What do you think? Do you still send Thank You cards?

Landfair Furniture Adds Woodard Outdoor Furniture

Landfair Furniture is proud to add Woodard, an outdoor furniture line, to our list of vendors. For over five years we have enjoyed Woodard furniture in our backyard. The table chairs, and lounge look as nice today as the day we brought them home. To keep it looking nice, we cover it in the winter and occasionally wipe off the top.

For over 140 years Woodard outdoor furniture has earned a reputation as the epitome of elegance and class. Woodard is described as the premier innovator of casual outdoor furniture through an exceptional blend of design and craftsmanship. Their furnishings are created with the unparalleled standards established by founder Lyman Woodard.

Each piece of Woodard wrought iron furniture is hand crafted using the best wrought iron available.

Their casual aluminum furniture combines innovative design, superior materials and painstaking construction. Woodard says they only use the heaviest, purist and strongest aluminum extrusions available, surpassing the toughest of industry standards.

Woodards wicker line, All Seasons Outdoor Wicker is hand woven and made from a strong polyester yarn core with a scratch resistant PVC solution dyed outer wrap. The frame on each piece is guaranteed to remain rust free, and each piece is promoted to withstand the harsh outdoor elements.

We've been looking for an outdoor line. Funny, we only needed to look in our backyard.
