326. Why You Deserve Custom Wood Furniture June 04, 2014 There was a time when everyone had high quality wood furniture gracing their home—and each was handmade. Carpentry was an in-demand vocation and skill, and “handmade” was a given, not a rare gem that came only at a premium price. When you shop for furniture these days, it’s kind of like shopping for a new tech gadget. You assume the piece will only last for a few years before wearing down, breaking, cracking and becoming so outdated that you start eyeing a newer model. You can blame IKEA and like brands, but the simple reality is that furniture has turned into a disposable commodity. It d... (read more) Author: Jen Stott

333. Movement and Synesthesia in Modern Art March 20, 2014 This sense of process as inspiration for a form is often created as an illusion in abstract art that was painstakingly planned in execution instead. But sometimes the illusion is faithful to the artist's mode of inspiration. In developing The Rope Dancer Accompanies Herself with Her Shadows to describe a vaudeville performer's tightrope dance, Man Ray initially discarded several scraps of colored paper he had cut for the collage to create shapes reminiscent of her acrobatic movements. But when he noticed the chance arrangement they made on his studio floor formed an abstract pattern of in... (read more) Author: Alex Fabelli

334. The Importance of Color in Abstract Art March 18, 2014 Abstract art gives prominence to the color, shape and volume as visual subjects all their own. Interpreting the play of form and color involves engaging with color meanings viscerally. Whether you are looking at a Fauvist painting as Franz Marc's Blue Horse series or an abstract expressionist painting as Wassily Kandinsky's The Blue Rider, color announces itself as part of an abstract artist's private alphabet, rich in associative significance. If the Fauvists like Franz Marc and Marc Chagall took the use of color as a subject further than the abstract impressionists, these early modern... (read more) Author: Alex Fabelli

The roots of modern design began in Germany in the 1920s, as a rebellion of sorts against the ornate, over-the-top Victorian style. The movement began with a minimalistic approach of function over elaborate form, incorporating clean, simple lines and natural materials. In the U.S., th... (read more) Author: Jen Stott

337. How To Choose Mahogany, Teak And Walnut Home Office Desks March 08, 2014 The actual difference between making use of a wooden dining table or a wooden PC desk is the space for storage supplied.

339. Do You Need Extra Paste Or Activator For Pre-Pasted Wallpaper? March 05, 2014 Pre-pasted wallpaper sounds like a timesaver when you decide to paper a room. If you've never wallpapered before, selecting pre-pasted rolls of paper are a good way to learn, but require a leap of faith on your part. What happens if the paper doesn't stick?

346. How to Remove Wall Decals Without Damaging the Wall February 09, 2014 LAST UPDATED ON: November 30, 2017 First, let me say what I hope to be the case, and that is that you painted your own walls prior to apply the wall decals or stickers, and not only that, that you did it the right way, which I will explain now.
