Freshome Moved To a New Server

For those of you who had problems this weekend accessing Freshome I want to announce that the website was moved to a new more powerful ( an expensive  ) virtual dedicated server to avoid any problems in future. I’ve decided to move to a new server because in February, Freshome experienced a massive growth. I don’t think that you are interested to much about Freshome problems, so let’s get back to some fresh & inspiring content. - I wish you a wonderful day !

White, Clean and Elegant Interior Design Pictures

White is the most commonly used color in interior design, especially in areas where bathing, cleaning and food preparation are prevelant. This is due to the fact that you can see anything that appears on white and wipe it up, keeping the surfaces clean and germ free. White combines well with black to form a stunning high contrast look. With the popularity of minimalist homes, decorating is lending towards using neutrals again. Keeping the interiors crisp white and clean, with often the use of subtle textures in kitchen bench tops, carpet or timber floors. Today I’ve found a great example of using white in interior design, combined with a little black. The final result is an elegant design with clean lines. These pictures are from Martin Dyrlov interior photography portofolio.

Shearling Swan Chair

The Swan Chair is designed by Arne Jacobsen and is and iconic lounge chair with a 4-star aluminum swivel base, satin-polished steel pedestal and black rubber toes.

At a first glance this chair looks very comfortable, sweet and very good for the winter season. You can buy this chair from SuiteNY and the price is available on request.

Embrace Lounge by Tanya Aguiniga’s

At a first glance the embrace lounge doesn’t look to impressive, is looking like something very simple, but the embrace lounge has a hidden, body-shaped curve in it, allowing you to feel the comfort of a warm embrace. This piece was inspired by the need for a hug while away from home. The embrace lounge was designed by Tanya Aguiniga’s, a Los Angeles based furniture designer/maker raised in Tijuana, Mexico. Her work encourages users to reconsider the objects they use on a daily basis by creating work that explores an objects’ unseen aspect, such as half chairs that rely on the wall to function and whose image is only complete as its shadow is cast upon the wall. - Via - Notcot

Wooden House of the Future, in Australia

We at Freshome, love wooden houses. Less conventional and recreating a “warmer” atmosphere, this wooden house of the future, is located in Sydney, Australia, the modular prefabricated house is the work of Xenian who built it in a workshop and transported later, on site. And more to it, the house seems to be eco-friendly. It features LED lighting, a rainwater collecting system that makes it drinkable, has a structure that enhances natural ventilation and some solar cells embedded in glass. Get’s an A+ from us, for aesthetics and functionality. - via

50's Retro Refrigerator and Vintage Appliances from Big Chill

I don't know about you but most of my time in the kitchen is involved in socializing and having fun times cooking and visiting friends. The kitchen is truly the most used room in most homes and it is the center of action especially for those who entertain a lot. Big Chill has a really cool less formal retro line of kitchen appliances that make the plain old square refrigerator, stove, hood vent, and dishwasher seem boring. Their 50's style rounded fronts with big steel handles, cursive writing, and outstanding color selection, some in two tones, add a real splash of style in your kitchen or great room. Big Chill appliances look old fashioned on the outside but they come with modern functionality, efficiency and dependability, ice makers and even defrost. The latest addition to the collection is the range stoves and hood vents due out very soon to complete the retro look through out your kitchen. See the entire line of appliances, specifications, and color choices here.

timepieces by anthony dickenstags: miscellanea

AUDI AND RED BULL love Anthony Dickens for his creative d furnituremercially sensible hand; we therefore hope these timepieces see production sometime soon. For those who love the idea of linear time, Timeline’s fixed red line is suspended above a strip of numbers that moves right to left (or, more romantically, from future to past). More traditional yet simultaneously quirky is his Around About, which wraps time around a circle. Watch the clock using the static red bar; the cylinder itself rotates d furniture Popularity: 2% [?]

Furniture for Primary School Children

It doesn’t matter how hard times get, people will spend money on their children. Parents will throw bus loads of money at anything they think will help their children perform better in school, to get ahead, to go to a better school, to get ahead, rinse and repeat.

Use Stairs to Store Something

After I’ve presented you the Toekick Drawers, today we have another interesting idea for storage. I’ve found this ingenious idea on Desire to Inspire, and maybe some of you already use this idea, as a secret place. Sorry if I’ve unveiled the secret.
