Several words about furniture
Monday, January 18th, 2010
Just several words about objects, which are an integral part of one’s house, that means to be a part of our life. So, what is furniture? What does it consist of and what is it made of?
Furniture surrounds us every minute, every day when we are at home of in the office. It is the facility for effective work and full-value rest. One can say that furniture makes our life complete. Without furniture our house cannot become cozy.
At home furniture includes a domestic architectural set of items. The spectrum of modern living room is wide, for example a wardrobe, a bed, a bureau, a table, a bedside-table and so on.
Most valuable specimens are made of wood, for example oak. Others, cheaper variants, can be made of particle board. The latter may be found at a store selling modern furniture in New York, because wooden furniture belongs usually to the classical design.
Bedroom furniture consists usually of a bed, two bedside-tables and a wardrobe, which can be whether modern-designed or classical-styled. As for modern bedroom sets can offer lots of stuff. This concerns classical furniture as well.
I like to speak about furniture very much. And I like to furnish my house every time I am going to get my house under repair. It takes lots of energy and rich imagination. So, it is better to engage a specialist if you want to furnish your house tastefully.

Practical Paint-Based Faux Finishes
Monday, November 30th, 2009
If you have the luxury of time and a huge budget, it’s better to have genuine surface materials. However, if you’re a little low on cash or can’t wait for a time-tempered natural finish to occur (antiquing, for example), take heart, a little cheating won’t hurt. Faux finishes are almost as good as the real thing!
Don’t know where to start? Check out these paint-based faux finishes below.
Antiquing and Verdigris
This mimics the patina that metals acquire over time. The natural greenish-bluish tones of verdigris can be duplicated when a piece of metal or plastic is exposed to heat and combined with acids. The trick is to apply the layers in uneven arbitrary patches for a more natural look.
Marbling
This age-old classic finish emulates various natural marble veins, including carrara marbling which involves dipping a thin brush in black gaze and sweeping a softening brush in light, random strokes to create the characteristic marble pattern. Serpentine marbling, on the other hand, is achieved by rubbing oil paint on a surface using a tissue paper.
Faux Bois (Fake Wood)
The subtle grains and lines of wood furniture or surface can be easily recreated. If done well, you can even replicate the book matching veins and knots of expensive wood veneers.
Paint Spattering
This easy and popular finish employs tiny paint dots in a variety of colors for a rich yet effortless-looking surface accent on walls. The “spattering” effect is achieved by thumping a loaded paintbrush (or old toothbrush against a screen for small surfaces) against a stick to spatter it in different directions.
