A Challenge: Steampunk Zombies for Twin Boys

To keep you busy while I'm gone, here's a challenge from a reader in California named Heather:

We got turned on to Steampunk and then your blog via a friend's wedding. They had a Victorian wedding (I made the wedding dress and my maid of honor dress) while another friend hosted the bachelor party at the CA steampunk convention. We went over the top excited about steampunk. Here's a pick of my guys trying on the garb I made them for the bachelor party....

The boys on either side are 15 year old twins.

Here is my challenge for your readers. The boys have never had a decorated room. We moved into our house when they were in 4th grade and I had all the rooms painted a bland off white to be able to change at a later date. We are at a later date. With nothing further done. One twin is a cross country runner for high school, the other one is #3 in the USA for Tumbling and Trampoline. Needless to say, we spend more time away from home than in it.

The boys are very artistic and love games of all forms. They would really like their room decorated steampunk with zombies as an additional theme. How would Victorians react to a zombie invasion? How would you decorate a room in that environment? What would your readers recommend?

15 year old athletic geeks who'll wear damask and velvet (and look good doing it)? I think this could be fun! Enjoy!

Best Bathroom Design with Feng Shui

Chinese people believe that all of thing on their life should relate with "Feng Shui" a basic rule of everything. They believe that the philosophy - or art - of Feng Shui can make the home more conducive to the flow of positive energy (chi). The literal translation of Feng Shui is "wind and water." The bathroom is definitely the room that you think of when you think of water. But the water in the bathroom isn't the same as the water element. Here are several picture of best bathroom design with Feng Shui.

• The entry to the home is where career and opportunities come into the home. If the bathroom is located directly in front of the entry, your opportunities could flow out immediately. You can help prevent a loss of opportunity by always closing the bathroom door and toilet lid (when not in use) to prevent the unnecessary escape of chi.
  
• Lots of lighting, good ventilation and cleanliness are essential to a proper Feng Shui bathroom. As with other rooms, a lot of mirrors are important to reflect chi and keep it moving around the room and throughout the house.

• To help resolve the situation of the toilet being located in the center of the house (the prosperity part), place a full-length mirror on the bathroom/toilet closet door. The mirror will help deflect chi and also create an illusion of the bathroom/toilet not being there.
• Good color schemes for a properly located bathroom are light grays, cream colors and pale blues. If your bathroom is located in the center of the house, paint it red. -rol.vn--
  

Triangular Smith Tower

I'm off on vacation, to the city that is the home of this find by reader Pica Maloria: Smith Tower.

See the little pyramid at the top? Someone lives there!


It's not quite as cool as a clock tower, but it sure has character, with the pyramid shape echoed by the triangular windows.

According to the architect's website, it was a caretaker’s suite and an old water tower enclosure

Tips on How to Make Your Bathroom Looks Bigger

Small bathrooms can feel confining and uncomfortable. Luckily we can utilize certain design concepts that fool the eye and make our bathrooms seem much bigger and spacious. Some solutions for small spaces, that can make a bathroom in your home look larger are color techniques, furniture arranging, and lighting considerations can give the look of space.

Bathroom Color

Cream colors and icy blues are just a few of the best color combination that can open up a tiny room into a bigger living area. It is all about illusion. Light colors make your room look bigger and brighter.

Bathroom Furniture

Bathroom furniture is another important factor to make your bathroom spacious or not, here are several consideration you should know about bathroom furniture

• Use multi-function furniture like a small cabinet or hanging wall storage that can be used as a cabinet and beautiful decoration. Stick to clean lines in the furniture. Use an extendable table, folding tables and nest of tables, which can be tucked away when you don’t need them.
• Place the large pieces of furniture against the walls so the open space in the middle isn’t broken up.
• Scale the furniture to fit the size of the bathroom and don’t block walking pathways. With furniture and accessories blocking the view into a room and out to open spaces, a room will look cramped.

Bathroom Lighting

Lighting is a key element in opening up a space. Let the light into the room too. By letting the natural light flow into the room, you will be surprised at how this will open up the room and make it look larger. If you do not have a lot of natural light, you can add some lighting features to the room to make it look bigger. You will be amazed at how this small addition can make a big difference. If you have access to natural light, make full use of it. Bring it into your home through windows. Full height glass panes work best. Having a large picture window can make a room seem bigger because a barrier between visitor and outside view has been removed. See another tips on decorate a small bedroom.

Brooklyn Clock Loft

Brian pointed out another clock face living space (it rhymes!). I wonder how many more of these are out there? (and you'll help me figure it out, won't you?) This pushes so many of my buttons -- Turkish rugs, wood floors, old brick, and not a bit of modern furniture in the place.

From architect Michael R Davis' website: The The Clock on Old Fulton Street in Brooklyn Heights is a 1,200 square foot loft located in an Italianate storage building built in 1892 on the site of the Brooklyn Eagle Newspaper once edited by Walt Whitman. The most obviously striking feature in the apartment is the 10-foot glass and iron clock face, which serves as the living room window.

From a Time Out NY article: With the original scale and proportions restored, the sprinkler pipes, valves, and clockface, along with it's motor and steel strapping, fully exposed, the result was a return to a true loft space.
