Double Glazing Cost Comparison

January 5, 2010 · Filed Under Home & Garden · Comment 

Double Glazing Cost Comparison We’ve all heard the hullabaloo about global warming and climate change. And whether you believe it or not, the fact still remains that you can save on your utility bills and help do your bit against pollution by undertaking some simple changes in and around your home. This can include installing Double glazed windows – where two sheets of glass are separated by a thin vacuum (or gas-filled space) to reduce the amount of cool or warm air entering or leaving your house. Double glazing can mean in winter your heater is not wasting its time by warming the air only to have it escape through the glass in your windows. Or, cool air filtering into your house won’t need to be heated, thus decreasing your bills. The reverse applies in summer. The cool air is kept in, and the warm outside air is kept out. When you think about it, it makes sense. Even if you don’t care much for saving the planet, you will more than likely care for the money leaking from your pocket – and double glazing can help stem that flow.

Joanna Perry Hand Painted Murals

October 24, 2009 · Filed Under Family, Home & Garden · Comment 

Children's murals I create original hand painted wall murals to enhance any room. I’m based in Cheshire and cover the whole of the county and the North Staffordshire area. My contemporary and children’s murals at www.kidswallmurals.co.uk are an exciting and original alternative to wallpaper as well as a cost effective solution to re-decorating a room.

Whether it’s to theme a nursery, update a child’s room or enhance a living space, you can have any style or design, tailored to suit your specific taste and budget.

The Design

As an experienced muralist, all of my murals are drawn free hand with no stencilling or projections involved. This allows me to transfer your ideas directly onto the wall with no scale or design restriction. I can work to all scales and budgets, producing either simple colourful wall murals to enhance a style of room – or completely theme a room in intricate detail. No project is too large or too small, and every project is treated with the same personal care and attention. When producing an interior scheme I can either translate your specific ideas directly or if you would prefer I can produce imaginative design creations for you. You may already have a room decorated and decide you want to take details from a border, curtains or duvet cover and create a mural to finish the room off.

Healing Problem Houses

June 10, 2009 · Filed Under Environment, Health, Home & Garden · Comment 

Healing Problem Houses We’ve all heard someone say ‘that’s a sad house’. Either more than one person living in the house has passed on, or people become sick. Perhaps the house has seen more than its fair share of divorces or arguments. It may be known locally as a ‘haunted house. The atmosphere surrounding the house is negative, and no-one seems to know why. Maybe you own such a house and want to sell. Or maybe you’re tired of being sick all the time. The good news is: there is a cure, and it will work.

Look After Your Leather

May 9, 2009 · Filed Under Home & Garden, Shopping · Comment 

LiquidLeather Leather has traditionally been used to give the feeling of luxury to automobiles and furnishings. Hand-built cars and furnishings were trimmed in leather and exotic woods. This tradition continues today on the production line, but as production techniques have changed, so has the leather, it is now much thinner and needs more careful care. In addition, leather is now tanned with recyclable materials which reduces process times and waste by-products, but also results in the attractive "smell" traditionally associated with quality leather being lost.

The need to care for such leather finishes has lead to the creation of specialist leather care products such as Liquid Leather which clean, soften, protect and restore all leather articles from jackets, handbags and saddles to car and domestic seating. The Liquid Leather products are available with Scotchguard ™ for water and dirt repellence and the latest formulation even adds the traditional "smell" to new and old leather products. A full spectrum of leather colours can be treated with Liquid Leather and the range also includes specialist leather furniture care products such as Scuff Master leather dyes which are able to cover unsightly "scuffing" or rubbing that can often result in areas of heavy or continual usage.

Hooks Are No Longer Boring

April 14, 2009 · Filed Under Home & Garden, Shopping · Comment 

Hooks Three things you need to know about me.

  1. I am clumsy.
  2. I live in a teeny tiny apartment.
  3. I love hats.

The second of these means I need storage that allows me to tuck things away where no-one can see them, and that does not take up too much room. The first means that I tend to bump into things (or drop things). Door knobs are my favourite, and my upper arms are a tribute to the many door knobs in my humble abode. The last means I need places to hang my hats. But with the clumsy situation taken into account, anything too sticky-outey just results in more black and blue testimonials.

Eco Lighting

January 19, 2009 · Filed Under Environment, Home & Garden, Shopping · Comment 

Eco Lighting You must have often wondered how you, as an individual, can contribute to making the Earth greener and more eco-friendly. You don’t have to clean your street everyday to show your environmental concerns. Instead, small changes in your lifestyle - like the bulbs you use - can make a big impact on the environment. For example, the normal incandescent bulbs that you use convert only about 5 to 10 percent of electricity into light. The rest of electricity consumed is released as heat. This is not only harmful to the environment, but also to the people who use these bulbs. So by using green lighting, or eco lighting, we are not only saving our environment but also saving ourselves from the harmful effects of ordinary bulbs.

Celebrating Memories On Canvas

December 3, 2008 · Filed Under Home & Garden, Shopping · Comment 

Photo-to-canvas Nothing has evolved more significantly and at a faster rate than the visual media, thanks to photography and its related developments. Capturing images in the mind and transforming them into art and sculpture was prevalent among all civilised human societies since the earliest times. However, it was only with the discovery of the printing process that the art of photography assumed importance and reached the heights of glory that we now experience today.
