Valentine’s Day Decorating

If you’re going to celebrate Valentine’s Day with your beloved, we suggest starting with romantic decor. Thus, our goal is to turn an apartment or house in the love nest, where everything breathes of love and happiness… Red and pink colors, which are associated with this holiday, will help us. It’s better to choose silk bedding, curtains and lots of soft cushions to create the necessary atmosphere. And, of course, no one has canceled the traditional rose petals. An interesting solution may be a vinyl wall sticker with the theme of Valentine’s Day. And of course, hearts and colorful confetti, red, pink and white candles, chocolates and sweets are still relevant. We wish you happiness, love and a wonderful Valentine’s Day!

Woodland Home: The Hobbit House by Simon Dale

Isn’t it great to live in the house that you built with your own hands? When you are your architect, you put your soul into your house design and make everything exactly how you want it to be. It’s also the best way to save money. Simon Dale and his father in law built this beautiful house in Wales by themselves and only a little help from their friends. It seems that they mostly used the materials found on the building site – the cost of construction is approximately 3000 pounds. Look at how cozy and unique this house is – the hobbits would love to live there. The house makes Simon’s family feel as close to the nature as possible and it has minimal visual impact being dug into the hillside.
