How was I not aware of Tonic Home,? Just when I had been perusing the lighting section of blinkdecor for a highly trafficked area in my home- meaning nothing fragile, nothing valuable- this site came across my desk. This chic collection of home furnishings, lighting and accessories is definitely worth a bookmark.

After the renovation is complete, and those lovely custom windows gleam, why cover them up with decorative window treatments? We love bare windows at blinkdecor- no shades, no window treatments, just light shining through and through. Occasionally, however, the glare on the computer screen requires some light blocking measures. Thankfully, The Shade Store , has a solution for the curtain (or worse) drape phobic. The solar shade, with three different densities, allows you to choose how much light you want to seep through. Now you can block the glare or annoying reflection without sacrificing the view or light. The Cellular Shade purports to be energy efficient, designed to trap air within its cells which insulates the window from hot or cold.

The unsinkable floats from Frontgate deserve a glowing recommendation. Weve had our floats for three seasons now (a lifetime in kid years) and they look as good as new. Their durability wouldnt be as impressive if we were merely drifting around the pool all summer, but given the countless rounds of gladiator and slip and slide that these floats have endured, its quite worthy of an endorsement.

Another Dwell article featured architect Jeff Kovel and his remodel of a former decrepit bathhouse that eventually became home to Kovels design business, Skylab, the furniture store, Intelligent Design, and his familys home. His vision not only brought businesses to the slowly gentrifying area of southwest Portland, Oregon, but also enabled him to create unique interiors suited to many types of venues.

Rejuvenation carries many period specific items. For example, if you are looking for doorbells or floor registers that would have been used during the Arts and Crafts period, this is your place. While many renovation resources carry an eclectic mix of period details, it is nice to find a site that actually categorizes these historic eras for you.

The indigenous, rambling stone walls of New England conjure up many images, from neighborhood kids playfully walking on natural balance beams, to over-the-top expenditures required to build the real thing around the property of new construction. The bottom line, these natural (dry-wall construction) stone walls are simply beautiful, this is what makes New England and the Lake District of England so uniquely charming. If you are not building an entire retaining wall this summer, we love the idea of designing a small stone wall to define a garden area. Tim Snyder has written a great online tutorial, detailing step by step how to find, design and build a stone wall, without any mortar. I, for one love a recipe that only requires one ingredient!

The summer issue of Beautiful Homes highlighted a couple of interesting options that could complement your design style rather than appear too decorative. For a contemporary setting, the stainless steel bar graphic pattern by floppingfish.com has a great urban aesthetic. For a period-authentic look, consider the hand hammered antique switchplate finished in copper patina by Switch-Hits.

Designer Ron Rezek has a minimalist style, incorporating geometric forms and modern finishes for his designs. His artistic interpretation of a rather functional product has attracted hip clients like the Cavalier Hotel in Miami Beach and the W Hotel in Los Angeles.

When I came across these decorative globes from The Conran Shop it was a eureka moment. I am so tired of seeing those shell balls ( see I dont even know what the technical term is) I could die. Lets just hope everyone doesnt get these as it is nice to be somewhat unique when accessorizing.

Be Jane helps many women learn how to do projects usually left to hired handymen. I love the bookcase for the flatscreen problem or the how to make your own compost suggestions. A simple tutorial on the site describes how to change your old toilet seat, which I know most women would rather defer to a man. Yet deep down I know we all think, we can do anything he can do!!!
