Stone Bathtub
Bathtub hand carved into a solid mass of natural stone has and always will be within the reach of only a privileged few. The selection of a suitable block of stone requires the highest degree of professional experiences, and the characteristics of each stone, either marble or granite block guide the ultimate design and shaping of the marble or granite bathtub. The pure joy of bathing inside the heated stone is an experience never to be forgotten.
Color Me Good
Last Fall, I had the opportunity to spend some time with designer Amanda Nisbet and discuss her then soon-to-be-released line of lighting for The Urban Electric Co. For those of you who know Amanda or who are familiar with her work, you know that she is a designer who has never shied away from using color. Perhaps it's a result of her colorful personality, one that is bubbly, exuberant, and just plain fun. This sense of playfulness comes through in her design work, and I'm sure it was a big influence in her now newly released lighting line.
What makes this line unique is, surprise, surprise... Amanda's use of color. All of UECo.'s lights are available in a variety of standard and premium finishes and glass options. And in the case of Amanda's new line, some of the lights also come in a choice of different vivid colors like Forest Moss and Million Dollar Red. (Color matching is also possible.) It's such a great way to perk up one's walls and ceilings. I admit that when choosing fixtures for my house, I stuck to the basics: chrome and antiqued brass. But now with this new line, I finally see, um, the light of day. Leave it to Amanda to show us that lighting can also be a lot of fun, too.
For more information on Amanda's line, visit The
Urban Electric Co.'s website.

Easter at Ladurée
One of the beauties of being an adult is that you don't have to wait for Santa nor the Easter Bunny to bring you what you want. You can simply go out and buy it yourself. In my case, that would be Cadbury Creme Eggs, something which I know a lot of you find to be downright dreadful looking and tasting. I really and truly find them delicious. Now what I can't stand, though, are Peeps. Just the thought of them makes me queasy. Oh well, each to his own.
I think that one chocolate we might all be able to agree upon are Easter candy and pastries by Ladurée. I can't vouch for the taste, but the confections look beautiful, perhaps even too beautiful to eat.
Their Easter macaroons include Chocolate & Lime, Chocolate & Cherry, and Chocolate & Passion Fruit.
Moulded Chocolate Eggs are filled with sweets and pralines.

Modern Round Beds
The main attraction of this new circular bed is its circular structure, which achieves a feeling of floating on a cloud, very good choice for those who enjoy a good rest delight. This extravagant design shows a size larger than an ordinary bed is ideal for relaxation. For those who prefer not as chair, and only interested in a particular shape, offers two wedges to fit the desired degree.
It features elegant curves and is wrapped in leather. It’s especially appreciated by men and women for its capacity of conveying powerful emotions. This unique round platform bed shows a true willingness to be something different and puts a lot of style in the bedroom interior. The designer has caught the eye of both designers and architects in residential, contemporary hotel and nautical furniture markets.
Round beds are quite trendy sort of modern beds. Uncommon form attracts an attention and make this kind of beds excellent and quite original component of any bedroom. Even though to locate site for the round mattress you need to to have quite a huge bedroom mainly because it has to be positioned in the middle of the area. In this place it seems the most fascinating. To make round mattress more sensible you could select a model with rotating mechanism. Beds with built-in lights could also help you to generate an amazing romantic environment in your bedroom. Such round beds you could locate among goods of Prealpi.
