This is a contemporary house, created by the Architecture bureau called Bembé Dellinger Architects, and is a perfect example of a open-space, modern architecture and living space.

Description made by architects:

A house, south of Munich, in a traditionally grown, 100-year-old garden suburb. The plot was large and it was possible to spread out. A totally transparent ground floor with a clearly protruding upper level. The view is focussed on the garden, not the neighbours. The upper storey is a simple white tube with a saddle roof built without disturbing flashings and a flush roof covering made of white fibrous concrete.

Dining room table centerpieces can be instant focal points in the room.  Whether elegant or casual, the centerpiece reflects the mood of the room or helps to create one.  Using one bowl centerpieces for the dining room table are especially easy.  They are inexpensive and easy to create, plus they can quickly be changed out to fit holiday decor or dinner party themes.  When thinking about designing a one bowl centerpiece, use the ideas below to get started.

The Bowl

Choose a bowl that is versatile enough to coordinate with a variety of holidays and decorating ideas.  Although the basic decor of the dining room is unlikely to change from season to season, the added holiday accessories may alter the decor slightly.  Choosing a bowl that matches the room during all of its holiday transitions will keep clutter down and make it easy to switch from season to season and back again.  Opt for a neutral bowl material like ceramic, glass or wood for the most versatility.  Also consider the width and depth of the bowl.  For a small dining room table, a smaller, but taller bowl would look great.  However, for a longer dining room table, a wider, shallower bowl would work better to fill the space.

While most people tend to focus on the paint or wallpaper in a room, then on furniture and accessories, floors seem to be an afterthought in a living room. Unless you give some thought to the flooring in the living room, it could take away from the beauty of the room, robbing it of harmony or causing people to miss the real focal points. Selecting the perfect carpet for a living room can be based on several factors, depending on your needs and budget considerations.

Before choosing the right carpet, make sure that you have measured the living room, and written down the dimensions exactly. It helps to make a rough sketch of the floor’s shape, so that you can note any odd dimensions or unique factors such as doorways, odd corners or angles, and stairs/obstacles that need to be avoided. Take this information with you when you shop, so you can be sure to get the right amount of carpeting for the room.

Today I felt like jumping (uhhh, and I actually jumped) while I walked down to work (I don’t usually feel this way when I have to work). Don’t know if that ever happened to you, since this is a childish thing to do, but good moods are something we all should take advantage of.

Since a good mood  can start from basically anything, like from a nice designed interior, the following artist will probably make you feel like a child again with her work. Maria Yasko of Moscow, Russia took on an interior design project for a family entertainment Center that was motivated by the collection of Moomin books, by Tove Jansson, a Finnish novelist.
