When we move into a new house we all have our own perception of how it should look, we often study the latest design magazines, look through the internet for the latest fashions, some even visit show-homes to see what the interior designers have to offer. One thing is for sure we want it to be clutter free, inviting and emitting a warm welcoming feeling.

Did you know that there are some people out there that think a chair is just a chair, hmph, imagine.

There are many takes on famous chairs as contemporary young designers and manufacturers continue to bend the rules with unusual materials, to form their masterpieces. They may look great but are they comfortable?

Is it just my imagination or has this winter seemed to drag on for ages this year? This may be due to the fact that most of the country has been buried under a few feet of snow and ice, then there was the cold wind, driving rain and the short days. Seriously, the Sun I have seen in the sky these last few weeks is a phoney, an illusion, a conspiracy by the energy companies to make us all stay indoors and plough all our money into heating our homes. Making us all wish that Spring/Summer would hurry up and arrive soon.

There is a good reason why people dislike winter time: cold weather; rain; snow; and then there’s the dark nights – all these factors can take their toll on a persons mood. I’m sure you’ll agree that there is nothing funny about leaving work and trudging home through cold heavy rain, wind and even slush.

I’m not sure about you, but one of the first things I do in the morning is to walk straight into the kitchen and put the kettle on. Then sit down and enjoy a lovely cup of hot coffee. I know, it’s no secret that caffeine gives our bodies the boost it requires to function for the day. But most importantly for me, it helps wake me up!

Oak is a dense hardwood which is naturally resistant to being attacked by insects and fungi, therefore it is the ideal wood for making very long lasting modern furniture. However Oak furniture is not by far the cheapest furniture on the market, but, when buying your special piece you have to consider all the options such as look, style, quality and endurance.

A few years ago, I remember, walking into a Doctors surgery and the first thing I noticed was a large fish tank which ran the length of the wall. As I sat there, waiting for my name to be called, I watched the fish swimming around the various rocks and plants, I thought to myself, an aquarium would be a nice addition to my home. As my eyes followed the fish to the edge of the tank, I noticed an elegant looking oak bookcase, which was on the other wall. It was filled with various annuals, magazines and a few kids toys shoved in the bottom shelf.
