minimalist chrismastAt this point in the year, is forced to spend a few minutes to ask the decoration with which clothe our homes for the coming days. By now our cities are already full of lights, color, giant fir … It is the starting gun, touches put to work, develop our creativity and enjoy it, just a month.

Christmas minimalist monochromatic and minimalist trend reaches all aspects of decoration, also for Christmas, which in recent years has undergone a remarkable transformation, from the moment of charge, where we filled our house with colored lights, tinsel, garlands … until that minimalism that prevails at present, made an appearance at Christmas.

We must not give up the huge offer we have on Christmas items, but not overdo it and reload the environment greatly.

One of the most successful betting is to opt for monochrome decor, color blends are risky, and give fullness and disorder.

Drawers

Maybe it’s a defect, a manufacturing defect, a hobby … or maybe all this is just a ridiculous excuse for justifying the clutter of belongings which has always accompanied me. But a disorder that has a peculiarity. Disorder outside, not inside.

I will not hide from recognizing that one day I can forget the toothpaste tube on the counter of the sink, the pants that I used yesterday on the bed and the closet may be a relative order. But when they open a drawer verify that 2000 piece puzzles have no secrets for me.

The drawers have been my greatest allies to achieve that domestic order.

Drawers large, small, deep, narrow, long, double bottom, divided internally with accessories, for rushing antigolpeo systems, wheels that are sliding glass fronts of the drawer … The world amazes me.

A garden gazebo is the perfect way to accentuate your patio. Imagine walking down the path between the koi pond and flowers, CETOS and willow tree, pausing to rest on a bench inside a gazebo. His shadow can comfort him, and its architecture may add a bit geometry to your garden, striking the balance between nature and humanity. Regardless of the type of environment that has its garden, there will be a gazebo that can be incorporated.

To create a garden gazebo, first choose material that will go to use either wood, metal or vinyl. Wood is the most common option, and for good reason: it works well with natural environments. Woods available are pine, cedar and redwood. Pine is the most gentle, aging to a rich yellow and complements the natural environment. The cedar is harder, less prone to rot and aging to a gray brown. The American redwood is the darkest and most durable wood. They can also use other woods, but these three are the most common options.

The graphics come in aluminum metal or iron. In order to achieve a dark, durable, choose the steel gazebo. That we are born generally have the roof open, and are perfect for storing plants, ladders and other materials, while providing a good shade during the changing seasons. The vinyl comes in white or black. As with wood and metal gazebos come in a variety of sizes and styles. Get mesh walls for a cottage effect.

To use the gazebo in less favorable climatic conditions, use one of the roof closed. This can be achieved with movable partitions or screens can be completely enclosed with solid walls and laminated windows. Whether it is trying to expand a garden or just trying to give a touch of beauty to your neighborhood, a garden gazebo is a structure that will invite you to relax, meditate, or meet people to enjoy the weather.
