Elegant Dining Room Modern Design
Dynamic design is characteristic of the collection Lifeline. Interesting is a game inspired by the color contrast of black and white. let us remember that there are no rigid rules that would give a universal recipe for the perfect home decor for everyone.
Interior Dining Room Style Design Ideas
Dining room interior design begins with an assessment of your space. When you understand the elements as they currently exist, you will then be in a position to master that reality or revise it to suit your needs. If on the other hand you have a larger rectangular space, an oblong or rectangular table will likely be the wiser choice. Again, choose a table that fits proportionally in your space and allows for ease of movement within the room.
Dining Room Modern Design Ideas
Embellishments help add character to a room; however they should be chosen with consideration. They should be placed in such a way that minimal re-arrangements are needed to accommodate different meals. One of the major decorative accents in the dining room is a centerpiece. Make sure that it suits different holidays or events and is not so tall or bulky that it block outs guests sitting across from one another.

A Dog's Rules for Christmas
#1 A big man with a white beard and a very loud laugh may emerge from your fireplace in the middle of the night. DON'T BITE HIM! Believe it or not, he comes bearing gifts.
#2 Don't pee on the tree.#3 Be tolerant if your humans put decorations on you. They seem to get some special kind of pleasure out of seeing how you look with fake antlers.
Wishing you a happy holiday season
filled with love and laughter with your dear ones
two-legged or four!

Home Security Interior Teknologi
Physical security is not a modern phenomenon. Physical security exists in order to deter persons from entering a physical facility. Historical examples of physical security include city walls, moats, etc.
You can see them more often now, these home security camera systems. They have become very popular in the last few years as crime rates rise and technology does everything it can to keep up with it. There are two different kinds of home security cameras: wired and wireless. The wired type needs a connection made with cables or wires from one component to another like the power outlet, the recorder or a sensor or transmitter. Most offices and homes can use this type, but it is harder and costlier to install since the wires need to be built into the walls.
The wireless home security camera systems are much easier to install and are convenient to use and may be easier to place. If you need to set one up in an obscure place where wires cannot be exposed then you are better off getting a wireless system. Basic home security camera systems use an auto-focus lens and a camera that can work with moderate lighting. If you are using it to monitor an area outside that is not lit, you may have to get an upgraded model, or add some extra lighting to the area.

These Pictures Make Me Smile
I just couldn’t resist posting these pictures and words of wisdom I got in an email from my Dad today. I usually do not read these types of emails when I receive them other than from my Dad, as he always forwards me the Best of the Best. It made me smile and feel good, for our little furry friends really do give so much to us. I hope that it will put a smile on your face also!
A Dog's Purpose? (From a 6-year-old).
Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker and they were hoping for a miracle. I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn't do anything for Belker and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home.
As we made arrangements Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience. The next day I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker’s family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes Belker slipped peacefully away.
The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after Belker's Death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives. Shane, who had been listening quietly piped up ''I know why.''
Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation. It has changed the way I try to live.
He said “People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life -- like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?''
The Six-year-old continued “Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long.''
Live simply
Love generously
Care deeply
Speak kindly
ENJOY EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY DAY!

First Snowfall in Vancouver
We had our first snow fall in the City last night. I woke up to extreme quiet and looked outside to a winter wonderland. It is unusual for us to have snow this early in the season if at all downtown……so if this keeps up we will have fantastic ski conditions in Whistler!
Have a wonderful weekend wherever you are.

Interior Design Business
The sense of interior designing and decoration comes naturally to people who have an artistic slant of mind. They are very creative and innovative in their own ways. Just for the sake of specializations, some people study designing at graduation level; deciding at a later time in their lives to pursue it as a career. It is obviously a growing profession that has a lot potential growth in the future years. The designers and decorators are more systematic and professional in their work; they know each and every detail of this field. Emphasis is placed on the designing of common rooms, living areas, guest rooms and bedrooms.
Hotel Interior Modern Design
In a hotel during the day people are attracted by the interior design, by furnishings, shapes and colors. But at night the hotel has a second dimension, since the guest needs to stay in a safe, comfortable and protected atmosphere, but even relaxing, clean and efficient. It's clear that only artificial lighting can satisfy this mix of needs.
So the first thing to do is assure the highest comfort both to guests and to the staff. The hotel in fact is a place of work and as such it has to lighted, even if the lighting elements which assure a good view to the staff have to harmonize with the characteristics of a pleasant lighting for the hotel guests and have to be able to adequately vaporize the different areas.
A reception for example is a place that has to immediately draw the attention of the guest, as soon as he enter the hotel. Its lighting has to be at the same time attractive and impressive, with decorative elements that communicate the quality level of the services at disposal of the guest.
It's fundamental to have a good lighting of vertical surfaces and to limit horizontal lighting of working surfaces, in particular those of the reception. On the wall behind the concierge there should be much light since this is an element which draw the attention of the customer.
