I recently was introduced to a gorgeous blog named Scrapbook, written by Melissah who just happens to be located in a favorite spot of mine, Australia! I was immediately taken with what I saw and here is one of her posts, just to peak your interest...
Cheap and Chic
When it comes to decorating I am great believer in a little bit of imagination, good taste and style can get often get you a lot further than a pocketful of money. I started off my career as a fashion designer so I have always been handy with a sewing machine. When I moved out of home and moved into my a shared house I would get to work. I painted rooms, pulled up carpets and lime washed floor boards, whipped up curtains and doona covers on the sewing machine and put together a stylish collection of furniture from opportunity shops and second hand markets. Every place I have ever lived in has been cheery and homey. I think there's no excuse for not living in beautiful surroundings not matter what your budget!
I could not agree more Melissah, and to see more visit Scrapbook. Janell
{p.s. for those who may not know what a "doona cover" is, first of all it is not a typo! I googled it to make sure. Rather it is another term for a duvet...see, I've already learned something from her blog!}
All-In-One-Room of Apartment in Vasastan, Stockholm
After seeing the pictures from different angles of a room of this apartment, you may be surprised that an apartment located in Vasastan, Stockholm only have 44 meters square from the whole area apartments. this bright and cozy studio seems to have it all: a delightful contemporary design, function and an overall welcoming atmosphere. According to Alvhem Makleri & Interior, this is an apartment that exudes peace and tranquility. The living room is a bright and social space with openness to both the kitchen and sleeping area. Large glass walls dissolve the border between inside and outside allowing natural light to reign. We are certain you already noticed the alcove, large enough for a king-sized bed. This may be a small apartment, but the design approach used to enhance it inspires only “over-sized” ideas.

An Ingenious Architectural Design by Jakub Szczesny from Centrala
If you want to have a private apartment, and maybe you only have a very narrow field of space to be built on an apartment, so we will try to show a unique design for your apartment. Here's a clever arsistektur work, which utilizes a narrow space between the gap of two large buildings left right beside it. Keret House is a project envisioned by Jakub Szczęsny of Centrala, soon to be developed in a narrow void between the buildings on 22 Chłodna Street and 74 Żelazna Street in the district of Wola, Poland. Keret House is said to have an interior that will vary between 122 centimeters and 72 centimeters, making it an extremely narrow crib. With a total area of 14,5 square meters, the new house will accommodate a workspace as well as a guest studio. The project was especially created for Isreali writer Etgar Keret who believes this type of interior will provide great work conditions. In case you were wondering, electricity will be ensured by a neighboring building. And yes, the stairs will be retractable and controllable through a remote. Even though we are intrigued by this original living solution, you have to admit such a design is not for everybody.

One of the Sponsors of House of Fifty is Dumond, which has created a great product for the DIY'er, Smart Strip! I discovered Smart Strip this past year when I was experiencing a definite lack of success removing paint from a light fixture...here's the post:
While looking for a light fixture to hang in the dining room, I remembered a fixture sitting in the garage that could possible work. The problem? I had previously painted the lovely brass with not only black spray paint, but PRIMER!! Obviously my intention had been to have the paint adhere extremely well, never in a million years thinking a day would come when I'd want the brass back!
While looking for a light fixture to hang in the dining room, I remembered a fixture sitting in the garage that could possible work. The problem? I had previously painted the lovely brass with not only black spray paint, but PRIMER!! Obviously my intention had been to have the paint adhere extremely well, never in a million years thinking a day would come when I'd want the brass back!
After chipping away at the paint with a plastic implement proved to be successful, but excruciatingly time- consuming, I went online to see if there was advice for preferable methods.
One suggestion was to use a hair dryer. Yes, I just went back and looked at the article to confirm I read correctly. This in no way worked even remotely!
So I ordered up a can of Smart Strip, inspired by these claims:
Smart Strip™ by Peel Away® Paint Stripper is user friendly and does not contain methylene chloride, caustic or toxic chemicals. Smart Strip™ by Peel Away Paint Remover will NOT Burn Hands. Water based paint stripping formula. 100% biodegradable paint stripping product. Works wonders on painted brick, all kinds of wood products, metals, stone, plaster, concrete, fiberglass and much more! Great for Acrylic Paint, Latex Paint, Lead Based Paint, Oil Based Paint, Shellac, Stains, Urethane and Water Based Paints. AMAZING RESULTS.
After it arrived I laid out a heavy plastic tarp and slathered it on. (After a test, of course, to see if it would damage the brass. Thankfully it didn't.)
Then I waited, a couple hours...
...and then I noticed this! The paint was beginning to bubble up from the brass!
On the cap the paint literally did just peel away.
The smaller areas of the fixture are proving to be a bit more demanding, but wow. A product that actually has lived to to its claims! So...if you ever find yourself in my situation, regretting a paint job, you know what to do.
And I've just found out it works equally well on wood!
{More on this project soon at Isabella & Max Rooms}
Thanks Smart Strip, for a great product which makes many a DIY job significantly easier, and for sponsoring HOF!
