Everything! The fact that I have a roof over my head. My family, food in the fridge. Simple things that we often take for granted and yet so many people lack. We are all so fortunate to have any home. Please take some time this season to give a little something to those who are in need. Happy Thanksgiving!

What colour/fabric for soft furnishings
Q
Kommentare (19)
Hi Ella, first of all, let me say that you have some really nice vintage pieces in your home! If you are planning to keep the light grey rug I would go with a darker shade of grey for the daybed and a lighter shade or a completely different color for the fabric of the sidechair (e.g. like the dark blue in your third photo) in order to create more contrast and give the room a more dynamic feel. You also mentioned a portrait to be hung above the sideboard - maybe the colors of this picture can aslo inspire the fabrics, it's always nice if the same color pops up in different details of a room. I hope this helps in your decision making process and I would love to see the results. Many greetings Anita Goda from Studio Wunderkammer

Bewertung der Beleuchtung am Wohnen Messe in Finland 2017

I´ve read that article as well and think your statement is absolutely right: the meaning - or maybe better - the worth of correct lighting seems to be underestimatet. Clients often rather invest in design of a certain lamp than in quality of light. Another interesting fact you mentioned is the choice of surface in accordance to LED-lighting to minimize reflections. - Easy to understand but seemingly often forgotten. When we built our new home, my wish was a complete, in parts dimmable LED lighting system, that we realized in collaboration with a lighting designer. - So some of your aspects were already base of our working together. And although it looks rather technically (what I love indeed) it´s able to create both: warm light in the evening whilst sittig together with friends and family and a clear bright light for (e.g.) working or cooking. But apart of my own "homemade" experiences, I think it is a stunning service you offer clients by visiting all these projects at the fair and assess them under the specific criteria of correct lighting. Thumbs up! - Wish that more of the readers here notice your work and share it. It is a "mission" for you, isn´t it. ;-)

Colorful carpet

Hi Valerie, Thanks a lot for your suggestion. I am trying since forever to find some pillows in a similar color like the mint in the carpet, but with no success till now. The carpet is 190X290 cm, in the pics is not completely unfolded. Hopefully it will fit well. A big piece of artwork is also on my wishlist, but i feel i need to buy those pillows first . Not an easy task to find the rigt color and material. Regards, Andra

Kitchen/dining room wall
Q
Kommentare (5)
Hello! I would definitely recommend to take out the wall. Your room will feel so much more spacious and bright because you'll also get the light from the window when you sit at the dining table. Kitchen island is a perfect idea – it creates a lot of extra storage and is ideal for a communicative kitchen/dining situation (no divider between kitchen and dining area). With various shelves and built-in cabinets you can create even more storage room. Living in a space before making any changes is a wise decision – as long as it comes to furniture. When it's about taking out a wall you'll probably never do that later on ;) Happy to discuss if you need more inspiration / ideas – Just book a time that suits you. Cheers Anna

I am thankful for my family, friends, health, everything I have and the Soldiers who defend our freedom so we can live in this wonderful country of the USA. Please stay thankful and grateful for all you have and on Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday DO NOT go shopping! Maybe these greedy retailers will close their doors so families can celebrate the holidays. Happy Thanksgiving!

That it's mine, lock stock and barrel. NO MORTGAGE, it's paid for and I have a big wood lot for my wood stove.

My husband - he's the nicest, sweetest, coolest (and obviously sexy) man ever! Even if he's a bit geeky. And sometimes rather foolish. Some other times - a dictatorial monster (when he doesn't do as I say). But still, he's the nicest, sweetest, most caring, etc guy ever. And he's rich too. Rest my case. (we've just celebrated our 7th anniversary - I'm allowed to be emotional, people!)

I am thankful I have the home I do. It's spacious, great for entertaining and welcoming. ONE exception...I have a dysfunctional kitchen - but since I don't like to cook, I deal with it.

I am grateful for so many things in my life, but today 2 specific things have been front and center in my mind ....

First, I am grateful that I grew up around family. My Italian immigrant great grand parents lived about a mile away, and my maternal grandparents were a few houses up the street. All 8 of our grandparents were at our wedding, and I didn't loose my last grandparent until I was in my 40's. We're now in our 50's, and we both still have all of our parents with us (as well as all of our aunts/uncles & siblings). Looking back I can't imagine my life without our family in it, and I am feeling particularly blessed about it today.,

Second, I am thankful I grew up in the 60's-70's. I would not want to be a kid today.

Our view of the mountains around Durango is wonderful and a reminder that beauty is more than just furniture and accents but nature as well. Of course, having family to enjoy the view makes it that much more special.

I'm thankful that I HAVE a house. So many of my friends and family lost their homes to Hurricane Sandy and more than a year later are still living in temporary housing with no home to go to at the end of the day. Mine may not be big or perfectly decorated but it is my sanctuary.

So much and so many things. We missed being hit by recent tornadoes. Neighbors and friends who were hit are alive. Miracles do happen, sometimes measured in seconds or by feet.
We have a wonderful family and extended family and overall, life is good.

All thanks to the Creator just look at all the beauty of the universe. I am thankful to be struggling since it tells me I'm alive. Happy to have a home that I can decorate and arrange however I want on my budget however small. This gives me a challenge which I love even more. After all anyone can make a space amazing with the right amount of $$$ but how many can do it on a shoestring budget. Really so much to be thankful for it would not fit on this post. Family friends pets food good wine ...even Houzz

Thankful for the generous human spirit . . . which rises to the occasion when others are in need, and celebrates being alive. Thankful for creativity . . . another expression of the life force and what it can make here in the physical world. Thankful for years of love, healthy sons, friends far and near and the freedom to contribute and design my own life on a daily basis.

I am thankful to be in our new home following the loss of our home to fire. I am even more thankful for my husband who survived open heart surgery (2 valves replaced, 1 repaired and a double by-pass), defibrillator implant, and hip replacement all within a year's time. And I'm so grateful to our family and friends who supported us. We are very fortunate and very thankful. We also live in a wonderful part of the world...Oregon. Our daughter introduced me to Houzz and for that I'm glad too. Happy Thanksgiving!

Just a small thing, but still, something I'm thankful for right this minute: Having pretty "sheers" on my living room windows, so I can cover up the fact that I never got around to cleaning the windows!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone :)

I am thankful for the roof over my head, my husband and son who have lived with me through menopause and my sweet scottie dog who is still with me after her cancer diagnosis. I also agree with the other comments, don't go shopping on Thanksgiving!

Sites such as Houzz represent what I think of as "the highest and best use" of the Internet, and serve to remind me that, by and large, the world is full of good people, and I am grateful that we can connect with people from all over the world!

A wonderful husband, two wonderful kids, and a dog that volunteers to try out every piece of furniture, pillow, and heating vent to see if it's an acceptable napping spot. Thank goodness I no longer have that additional stress.
