White Bookcases and Other Cheap Office Furniture

April 13th, 2010

I have always liked white bookcases – the type you get for not very much at the local hardware supply store. In fact our local now has a whole range of bookcases which you can match with cupboards and wardrobes. It makes it very easy to build a cost-effective home office which looks clean modern and practical.

The trick is of course to compromise on the standard sized units which are usually 1800×600x480 -though the shelfs themselves can be adjusted. Custom made office furniture is of course designed to fit – so if you go with cheap flat pack furniture for you new office you will have ot design around the standard sizes. You can often pick up a brochure that will give you all the standard dimensions for the units and sometimes give you scaled paper and cutouts to plan your home office design painlessly.  

Setting up a home office means that you may not have the budget for expensive furniture – but inexpensive white bookcases and cupboards may be just he solution you need. 

How to Cope With Dry Skin

April 8th, 2010

Dry skin is a condition that causes the skin to be red, scaly and itchy. The condition tends to appear or get worse during winter as the cold and dry air causes the humidity to drop. People become more susceptible to the problem as they age and the skin loses it natural moisturizing oils. It most common on the legs, arms, hands and face but can appear on other sections of the body.

As people become older, the skinâ??s ability to contain moisture lessens due to a decline in the number of sebaceous glands. These glands provide the oily layer that moisturizers the skin naturally. Genetics are also a factor with dry skin being passed down the generations.

Treatments for dry skin involve looking at what factors in the environment are contributing to the problem. If you have a central heating system that is drying out the air then a humidifier can help replace the moisture. A protective layer of oil based moisturizing lotion can also be effective.

Your doctor can recommend certain creams that are specifically designed to treat dry skin. He or she can also take a look at the bath products that you use and whether they are contributing to your problem.

Is Ivory a Better Wedding Colour?

April 6th, 2010

I’ve never been a fan of white wedding dresses – in my opinion ivory weddings are far more attractive. Pure white is a harsh colour – while ivory is a lot more forgiving for many brides. Ivory is easy to match through too with decorations, flowers and jewelry all readily available in ivory.  To give it a bit of oomph I would probably dress the bridesmaids and attendents in a strong primary colour such as a dark red or old gold – which would contrast nicely with the bride’s ivory wedding dress.

Ivorty will work with either silver or gold jewelry – although a string of pearls would be perfect too.  A wedding veil in gold lace would have the wow factor – or a simple hair piece featuring fresh flowers and pearls would be a less traditional look. If you wanted an antique or Victorian themed wedding ivory would make an excellent colour choice.
