Put thought into your Patio Design
Location, location, location.
In the garden, the patio is the place where everybody congregates. Usually my clients want to know where to locate their patio and what size it should be.
The best place is where you have a natural tendency to sit; a comfortable area with ample room. If you prefer sitting in the sun, I would look at the sun pattern (during a day when you are at home) and figure out where the sunniest area of your garden is situated. The sun is the most intense between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.

ECO FRIENDLY MINIMALISM is a phrase we enjoy hearing; Datumzero allows us to listen to it three times over with their series of personally named cocktail tables. Jimmy, Ruthie and Gabi are all pleasant variations of the familiar wood-and-metal juxtaposition, each of them featuring a rectangular Beverly Hills: Block / Leather Sofa Sets (made from formaldehyde free resin MDF) over skinny metal legs. All three share a small sliding drawer on one end; we definitely prefer Gabi as it is the only table with a hollowed out interior.

Gaining and Adding Space to Your Home without a Major Renovation
Have you ever thought to yourself that you like your home's layout or the area, if only you had a little more space for that home office, craft room, or game room? Moving to a larger home doesn't have to be the answer. More than likely, there is unused or ignored space in and around your home that just needs a little TLC. If you want to keep your home and add a little more space, consider finishing your attic or adding a sunroom to enhance your homes square footage. These types of renovations typically cost less than full additions or major home renovations, and still increase your home's value.
There is a lot to consider when you decide to finish your attic, the most important of which is making sure that it is structurally sound enough to handle what you are planning for the space. For example, your attic floor may be strong enough to handle being walked on and used for an art room, but not capable of holding a billiards table that weighs 750 lbs. If the game room is your dream, just be aware that the floor may need to be reinforced, adding significant cost. Get a professional opinion from a contractor, or a structural engineer to be certain you are able to achieve your plans for the space.
This before photo is the perfect example of an unloved space, which has the potential to be so much more.
And this is what happens when you give an attic a chance to shine. The space was always capable of being gorgeous; it just needed someone to care about how it looked.

Designing Rooms for Children
When designing a room for a child, so many things are possible. The room can be soft and subdued to calm a tense child, or loud and bold to really bring out the personality of other children. Themes can be used with such flair and can be a whimsical wonderland or a unique retreat for kids.
Unlike other rooms in your home, your children's rooms don't have to have the same flow as all of the other spaces in your home, however they should reflect a similar style that somewhat resembles the rest of your home.
In formal Traditional, cottage, or country style homes can support whimsical children's rooms similar to the ones below:
This pretty in pink girl's room has touches of elegance and playful use of antique qualities. The gold leaf patterns on the walls and the bed give the space a rich look, as does the draped gold toned organza hanging behind the bed. Organza and a decorative cornice frame the headboard and make the bed the true focal point of the room. The distressing on the bed and side table gives the furnishings a well-used look that contrasts with the richly decorated headboard and drawer front. A heart shaped ottoman has been covered with splendid fabrics and trim that stand out against the distressed cabriole legs. Simple sheets with a small pattern and a solid colored comforter or quilt complement this style fabulously.
