Organizing Trick: Hooks for Hanging Clothes

Years ago, I seen a trendy organizing idea in a buddy’s apartment. She owned a massive collection of jeans, which can be bulky to keep in a dresser drawer. So instead, she chose to hang them metal hooks in her bedroom. The hooks maintained her jeans neatly from the ground, and the row of jeans lining the wall actually looked pretty rad. The chances for hooks are really limitless. Below are some suggestions about the best way best to use a few hooks to help organize your wardrobe.

ZeroEnergy Design

This Shaker-style hook rack generates an orderly place to hang jackets and some sporting gear, while the cubbies give extra storage.

Janice Peters, Distinctive Decor

Some of my baby girl’s clothing are so adorable that I have considered this idea: hang up a couple of favorite dresses. It keeps everything nice and lovely — and the clothes double as wall decor.

Erich Ginder Ghost Antlers – $309

Ghost antler hooks mounted on the wall create a modern spot to hang up your coat.

TIP: Hooks is both functional and decorative. Consider how you need to utilize your hooks until you mount them that will allow you to decide the spacing for a pair of hooks. If you plan to use all of the hooks in a functional fashion, consider the length of time the clothes will hang down so that which doesn’t look jumbled together.

Gast Architects

Mount a lineup of hooks beneath a floating shelf, and you have an instant hook platform for hanging up your clothes and towel as you shower.

LDa Interiors & Architecture

If you do not have a separate mudroom, the best spot to hang a couple hooks is right next to the front door. That way you have a place to drop off your luggage, shoes, and jacket — and also you won’t track dirt via your residence.

Cosmetic Outburst

This colorful iconic Eames hook rack will never go out of style. The hooks display a enjoyable, mod soul whether you’re decorating a child’s room or your front entryway.

Tim Cuppett Architects

Every home doesn’t come complete with a full size Martha-style mudroom. However, you still need a place to hang your hat and coat at the end of a day. Hooks up high and a little bench below create a functional mudroom space from the corner of an entryway.

A system of hooks on your entryway makes it effortless to keep track of hats, hats, and winter accessories.

TIP: Hanging up your gear isn’t just about looking organized. Wet winter hats and scarves will dry out faster if they’re hung up.

This idea works for the kiddos and the grownups: hang up the outfit that you wish to use tomorrow so getting ready in the morning is that much simpler (and faster.) And hanging up your day’s outfit on a pretty hook makes your clothes feel a bit more special.

TIP: For floral hooks similar to the one shown here, have a look at Pier1 Imports.

Cosmetic Outburst

Following is a way to provide your kiddos the organizing bug from the start. Hang the hook rack at their level so that they are easily able to hang up their jackets and hats at the close of the day (all by themselves.)

Anthropologie

Bract Hook – Anthropologie.com – $24

Design Approaches: Fabric With Tea and Finishing Furniture

Nightwood has been one of my beloved Brooklyn designers for years. Their furniture blurs the line between rustic and contemporary in a means that appears so harmonious in the home. Recently Nightwood designers Nadia and Myriah are experimenting with the art of moms dying. I’m such a lover — the tea gives the wood and the cloths such a distinctive end. Nightwood recently opened a store in the Williamsburg area of Brooklyn to home their designs. Here is a peek at a few of their tea-dyed pieces.

Would you believe you are able to dye timber with tea? This cupboard showcases the subtle colour effect of tea-dying. Additionally, it is a excellent alternate to paints and stains.

Here are the results of tea-dying fabrics for furniture reupholstery. The effect reminds me of a modern take on tie-dye. I’d really like to embrace this chair!

From afar, you can tell that tea-dyed wood furniture has a unique quieter colorway than other timber furniture. The subtle difference is that it is a little more grey in tone than many unpainted woods.

Up close, you can see that dyeing timber with tea highlights the beauty of the patterns in the timber. This end adds a lovely natural decorative to a room.

Many of the textiles that Nightwood functions with the tea dye treatment today, including these pillows.The tea-dyeing adds a simple wash of colour to the textiles.

How to Install Steel Pipe Yourself

One of the plumbers tasks that you may need to do yourself is the installation of steel pipe. If you’ve an old home, then there’s a good chance that your galvanized pipe systems need to be extended at some point.

The newer water supply lines are often made from plastic or copper, however, if you need to repair or perhaps extend your galvanized pipe, it may be worth it to use similar materials. Working with steel is not really that difficult, especially if you follow the steps below.

Here are a few steps on how you can install the steel pipe by yourself.

Tap Into Line

First of all, turn off the water line. Tap to the middle of the waterline when there’s no union fitting nearby. Cut through the pipe using a reciprocating saw with a cutting blade made of metal. You can also use a hacksaw for this plumbing service work. Next, unscrew the pipe in both sides of the cut portion.

Wrap Threads

Before you thread a pipe to a fitting, cover the threads with numerous windings of the pipe-thread tape. While the end of the pipe is facing at you, wrap the pipe clockwise. Otherwise, brush the pipe joint compound into the thread of the end of the pipe and in the inside of the fitting.

Tighten Pipes

Twist the pipe or fitting using your hand. If it won’t turn easily, then this could mean that the joint isn’t straight and that the threads are crossed. So go back up and do the process again. Tighten the pipe or fitting firmly with the use of a 14-inch pipe wrench. You might need to use a second wrench in order to secure the adjacent piece on steady.

Prep for Final Section

As soon as the tee fitting of the new line has been installed, attach a nipple and then slip on the nut for the combination, making sure that the threads are in the joint. Apply the tape and then install half of the combination. Set the second half in place and then take measurements for the final section of the steel pipe.

Attach the Final Piece

Next, attach the second half of the combination to the final piece of the steel and install. It’s important that both halves are lined up well so they can be set against each other. Slide the nut up and tighten with your hand. Afterward, tighten the nut completely using a pipe wrench in order to complete the attachment.

How to Install a Dielectric Fitting

Another plumbing repair work that you may also need to learn is how to install a dielectric union. To do this, screw the threaded part into the steel pipe. Before sweating out the brass fitting of the copper pipe, slowly slip the nut and sleeve and then push them far from the heat that the torch produces. As soon as the fitting has been sweated and starts to cool off, join the two parts together. Use groove-joint pliers to tighten the nut.

Color Inspiration From the Mediterranean

Colours of the Mediterranean reflect some of the very best and most interesting facets of this area’s culture and natural environment. Color inspiration stems from the vibrant blue sea that surrounds the Greek isles and the golden yellow tones seen in a Moroccan spice market. The sun-baked clay buildings in Spain and Italy, along with the lush vegetation found in the South of France will also be influences. With so many colors, patterns and textures, Mediterranean interiors are a feast for the eyes and also can spur creativity in your home, wherever you reside.

RAFAEL DAVILA

Venetian plaster is a classic paint finish in Italy and other Mediterranean countries. The original technique involves applying several layers of plaster. Fortunately, now we could purchase acrylic “plaster” for easier application, or we could employ an excellent faux artist! Colours like terra cotta and blue are commonly seen in this wall treatment.

Linda Medina Interior Design

In the outside spice markets in Marrakesh, Morocco, you’ll see an abundance of yellow-gold hues in the form of saffron or cumin. These colors deliver a warm and inviting glow to any room.

Carolyn Chadwick

In Greece, it’s very common to see white houses with shutters and doors adorned with a deep shade of blue. The blue echos the blue skies and sea. Azure is a color that matches many other hues very well and it creates a fantastic, eye-catching exterior color.

Terra cotta, umber and ocher represent the rich clay and soil of the Mediterranean. These enveloping hues are fantastic for a foyer, as they’ll give your guests a warm welcome.

Allison Cosmos

This color of the space was probably motivated by bougainvillea, a lively flowering plant seen across the Mediterranean region. Blossoms vary from fuchsia to purple and apricot — all brilliant hues for enjoying dialogue and a fantastic meal.

RAFAEL DAVILA

Bright color combos are a tradition in nations. Influenced by sub-Saharan Africans and Arabs, this region offers a kaleidoscope of hues that work in harmony. If you adore vibrant colors, take your inspiration from this part of earth.

Hann Builders

Striking blue Spanish tiles create a superb focal point in this kitchen that is otherwise neutral. From time to time, a rich color works best in tiny doses.

Moorish tiles are frequently utilized in Spanish and Moroccan interiors. These tiles are very colorful and geometric, and they’re able to add a lot of attention to your property. Look beyond your toilet and kitchen to areas like stairs and laundry rooms.

Thought of the Week Lights from the Kitchen

The kitchen is among the most difficult rooms to light. Not only are there plenty of nooks and crannies that need to be lit for practicality’s sake, but in addition, it is important to light each working surface for safe and effective cooking. Many kitchens rely on recessed lighting to light countertops and other workspaces. However, several modern kitchens are utilizing daring and striking fixtures to help create a unique atmosphere.

ZeroEnergy Design

In this eco-friendly Massachusetts house, interior designer Lisa Kauffman Tharp installed several pieces of bold lighting from the kitchen. The pendants over the island are stunning — but what really caught our attention were the two-armed wall lighting over the top cabinets. Instead of installing recessed lighting underneath the cabinetry, Tharp decided to provide the kitchen a lofty, almost art-gallery like look.

ZeroEnergy Design

Even though they’re normally employed as wall-mounted lights, Tharp decided to install these fixtures on top of the cabinets. The wiring moved into a gap on top of the cabinetry where the gabled roof stops. These lights not only highlight the cabinetry, but if you pull them forward, they light up the countertops below perfectly.

Houzz Tour: Rugged, Modern Florida Getaway

Houzz consumer Nicki Conway knew she wanted her house to be contemporary, and a warm texture to her home was equally as important. With her lot near the shore in Sarasota, Fla., easy transitions between inside and out was vital, too. Conway recruited two natives — architect Peter Hofmann and designer Pam Picozzi — to help her create this setting. Together they came up with a concept that uses warm natural tones and near-seamless connections to outside living areas.

The dining and living areas are contained by 1 room. “I could spend hours in there,” Conway says. “At the end of a very long day, I find myself wanting to unwind and spend the rest of my time in the living space .”

White walls make the couple’s colorful artwork collection stand out. Interior designer Picozzi additionally suggested a warmer colour on the television wall for comparison.

The couch is W. Schillig’s Telluride model, and the coffee table was custom made by a local artisan. The shag carpets throughout the house are from Samson Shag Rugs.

A screened-in porch space extends out from the main living area. Although it seems like this area is enclosed by glass windows, then it’s actually surrounded by metal displays. This exterior room is shut off from the rest of the home by sliding glass doors. A screen door at the end of the patio leads to the outside pool area. Cartagena chairs offer a contemporary option for outdoor furniture.

Ledgestone panels on an accent wall mimic the stone on the wall in the living room, in addition to an outside wall on your garage. This result helps tie the house together and blend the outdoors with the indoors. Durable travertine tile was installed around the pool area.

The exterior paint is a hot white called Greek Villa out of Sherwin Williams. Conway loved the colour so much, she decided to use the same hue on the outside and interior of the house.

The home is located on a plot in a gorgeous section of Sarasota a block in the bay. After discovering this dream lot, Conway recruited builder Phil Torrence of Ridgeland Homes to start the construction procedure.

Travertine tile lines front entrance. The landscape was designed by local landscape architect Lee Alderman. “Some of the landscape choices were our toughest,” Conway says. “Lee really wondered how the landscape and outside space would encourage our lifestyle.”

While the architect originally drew an open kitchen design, Conway insisted on creating the galley-style kitchen independent. “I see a lot of houses where the kitchen is right next to the entryway,” says Conway. “I knew I didn’t want that. I simply don’t enjoy the idea of people walking into my home and visiting the kitchen straight away.”

The kitchen cabinets — plywood boxes and rift cut white oak — were custom made by a local company. Absolute Black granite was selected for its countertops, and a glass tile in a soft ocean blue was installed since the backsplash. Conway discovered the unique pendants on the internet, and the barstools are out of Advanced Interior Design.

Conway made sure the structure of the home was kept simple and streamlined. There’s no crown molding in this house, and no door casings. They did have a simple baseboard designed to safeguard the walls, but it’s hardly noticeable. The table in this breakfast corner has been custom designed by their cabinetmaker. The stools are Kartell Ghost Stools in a punchy red-orange.

The dining area, open into the excellent area, is a fantastic spot for both informal lunches and more formal dinner parties. The Philadelphia Dining Chairs and the Horizon Low Cabinet against the wall are by Callagaris. The chandelier is a unique and eye catching lighting fixture out of Possini.

Like the rest of the house, the bedroom is contemporary, warm, simple and soothing. The ceiling fan is out of Lumens, and a Sevilla Bench is at the foot of the bed.

The bed rests on a contemporary Gamma Platform Bed, while Conway picked out soft but simple bedding from Macy’s Hotel Collection. A soft blue rug in Samson Shag Rugs rests underneath the bed frame. Walnut floors were installed throughout the majority of the home’s living spaces.

Conway picked a NeosTile for the floor and shower partitions in the master bathroom. The identical granite countertops in the kitchen are used in this space, and a Kartell Ghost Seat is tucked underneath to create an easy built-in vanity.

Decor In the Forest and Sea

As we all do our day character walks this summer and pick up interesting stones, feathers, shells, twigs, and maybe even antlers we locate on our way, let’s think about creative ways we can integrate these tiny treasures in our decor, either as temporary reminders of this character outside or inspiration for a permanent fixture.

Jennifer Grey Interiors Design & Color Specialist

The smallest finds are the ones which can easily get lost in the shuffle or look junky. A traditional way to elevate those finds would be to bring a sense of wonder by exhibiting them beneath the glass of a bell jar, otherwise known as a cloche.

An intriguing arrangement in this bell jar stipulates a delicate bird’s nest sitting on small tower of books. The only real nearby provides a relaxed note to the analysis in character.

Jamie Laubhan-Oliver

Some people are turned off my the rustic lodge look of antlers along with the concept that a deer was hunted to display the antlers.

10 Ways Photos Can Make a Room

Photos are a wonderful way to decorate your walls, whether you are into Richard Misrach, Ansel Adams, Margaret Bourke-White, humorous old photographs found at flea markets or displaying the very best shots you took of your vacation or children. There are endless ways to set and arrange them.

TILTON FENWICK

One large-scale photograph. This striking landscape overlooks the walls; the skies, clouds, and top of the tree create a strong effect on the color scheme and disposition of the space.

A triptych. If you are a fan of architecture, a triptych of the three favorite buildings makes for an incredibly pleasing wall. Sizes and the frames of this trio makes them more cohesive.

LUX Design

Using architectural graphics from your favorite city is a great way to tie the subject matter jointly.

TEA2 Architects

Here each individual picture in the triptych features one person.

Shoshana Gosselin

A well-composed wall of smaller photographs. Sticking to black and white and utilizing fitting mats and frames ties together the group, regardless of subject matter.

The makeup here alternates vertical and horizontal orientation. The artwork pops against the paint.

Ian Moore Architects

Produce a very long gallery wall. Here the frames have been wrapped perfectly in a row, highlighting the length of the space. Horizontal lines have been further emphasized by the amount of art lights and the very long console on precisely the exact same wall.

John Lum Architecture, Inc.. AIA

Use a picture railing. This shallow shelf retains photographs lined up perfectly along the floor, while heights vary.

Kevin O’Connor Design

Prop it on the counter. Placing a photo on the counter tops and leaning it against the wall adds style to a minimalist kitchen.

Extend the eye up from the headboard: This very low mattress had something to navigate all of that white space between it and the ceiling. By centering this photograph overhead, a point is created.

Give the essay from rhythm. This room has rhythm from audio, from the timber grain, and from the sculptural acoustic . The arrangement of the photographs on the wall includes a rhythm too.

Vanessa De Vargas

Split the glass block. A big expanse of glass block can be an institutional-looking snooze. Why not break it up ?
