Classic Corner Tables – Decorating Tips from Style At Home

April 11, 2012 by Joanna

Style At Home, a leading magazine featuring design and decoration ideas recently featured a very well done article titled “4 essential chairs”. What is interesting to note is the pairing of the chairs with beautifully wrought iron corner tables.

Classic furniture refers to furniture that never goes out of style. There are classic love seats, sofas, corner tables and much more, each with a distinctive style of its own. The true beauty of classic furniture is the marvelous way in which it blends with virtually any type of living room décor. Furniture can be made from leather or upholstery fabrics, and wrought iron combined with wood provides a very elegant finish to the room.

Wrought Iron Wood Storage – Fireplace Decor Options

April 7, 2012 by Joanna

Traditional wood burning fireplaces require vigilant maintenance and hence you need the right set of tools for the job. Wood storage is one of the main issues that needs to be dealt with. You need to keep the firewood stocked close by so that you can easily add a log to the fire when required.

Even if you have an electric or gas powered fireplace, placing a wood holder with a few logs of woods next to the fireplace will add a cozy touch and an inviting feel to the room.

Wrought Iron Decorating Ideas from Ashlee Simpson’s Home

March 28, 2012 by Joanna

When singer and actress Ashlee Simpson listed her 7,100-square-foot villa in the Beverly Hills Post Office area for $3.69 million in spring of 2011, realtor.com posted 20 photos of the fabulous Mediterranean style house on its website. With five bedrooms, six and a half baths, a pool and spa, media room, meditation room and breath-taking views of canyons, mountains and greenbelts, the listing was sure to go fast.

Not surprisingly the listing agent, Sotheby’s International, reported the house had sold by June 2011 for $3.475 million, not too far off the asking price in a slow real estate market. While we’re sure the meditation garden and gourmet kitchen had plenty to do with the quick sale, what really attracted us about the photos of Ms. Simpson’s home were the many and varied uses of wrought iron. From the railing on the second-floor balcony to lighting fixtures and accent pieces, wrought iron is a repeated decorating theme throughout the home.

A Hollywood Mansion for Big Bang Theory Actor Simon Helberg

March 20, 2012 by Joanna

Charlie Sheen made quite a splash when the drug- and booze-fueled antics in his Mediterranean-style Hollywood mansion came to light. As a result, the new owner of the home – “Big Bang Theory” actor Simon Helberg – will likely be a much more popular tenant in the historic Los Feliz neighborhood. Helberg acquired the mini-mansion, built in 1927, for $2.9 million and now has 4,200 square feet of luxury to explore. The Los Feliz home has been on the real estate market since 2009, just two years less than Helberg has starred on the hit TV series.

March 12, 2012 by Joanna

First-time visitors to the Eiffel Tower are surprised when they see this mass of steel curves, scrolls and other delicate ironwork. How could anyone make lace out of steel? French engineer Alexandre-Gustave Eiffel did, earning the title of “magician of iron” after the tower’s 1889 Parisian debut, reports Biography.com.

Eiffel — like blacksmiths and ironworkers centuries before him — knew that, behind its rock-hard exterior, wrought iron could be as beautiful as it was functional.

We take inventory of our blessings, see how much of our resolutions for the last year were actually accomplished, and what resolutions or wishes are still left.

Don’t feel sad if you couldn’t accomplish your goals for the previous year. You still have time, you can use your resolutions from last year to help create a more practical and feasible resolutions list for the year 2012.
