Damage caused by scratches and spills could not be more effectively prevented by any means than by the use of glass table tops.

Glass Desks - Incredible Style, Incredible Function

Glass Desks - Incredible Style, Incredible Function

More people than ever are looking for more contemporary decorating and furniture options than ever before. The glass desk is quickly becoming a popular choice in many office and home environments, as are other types of glass tables. While they may not have the longevity that desks made of wood do, they do have a style that it is not possible to recreate.

Your standard glass desk will often have legs or a stand made of steel, most often stainless Steele unless otherwise stated. This works well in most contemporary and modern decors, and is also durable. Cheaper models will use hollow steel or aluminum, which may not last as long. If you are looking for a more functional model that will last for years down the line, it may be better to spend a little extra on a model with more sturdy legs.

The thickness of the glass on these types of desks is also important. Glass that is too thin will break easily, especially if you intend to use a computer on the surface - not to mention if you use multiple monitors. Thicker glass is recommended, at least 1/4 of an inch. Glass that is too thick can be a burden to move when the time comes, and if mishandled during transit can scratch - or worse, shatter. These are important things to keep in mind.

Etched Glass Doors For Interior Beauty

Etched Glass Doors For Interior Beauty

Are you looking for wonderful glass doors for your home or office? In the past, it's always been sturdy, heavy wooden doors that have gotten all the attention; the heavier and more elaborate the wood, the fancier your house was considered to be.

But that has changed as the modern day has dawned, and simplicity and elegance were valued over old-fashioned fanciness. Now, glass doors are more popular than ever, because of their contemporary sophistication and their ability to allow light in everywhere to give a much more open, warmer feel to the atmosphere of a room, house, store, or office.

One type of glass door in particular is the etched glass door, and these etched glass doors are essentially designs created by frosting glass. Frosted glass results in a translucent glass window, which is nice because it allows more privacy without blocking the light.

Translucent frosted glass can be used for showers and office doors-or, if you want to be a bit fancier, you can put designs on the frosted glass and make it into a glass etching, which is truly beautiful and complex.

Glass etchings are usually created by sandblasting glass in several different stages in order to create different depths of translucency if you want a more three dimensional picture (it's somewhat like shading in a drawing, and the results are very beautiful).

Popularly, etched glass is usually made up of a semi-translucent picture with a clear background. This gives the glass a nice, elegant look while still maintaining transparency and allowing plenty of light through.

Getting Contemporary With Round Bathroom Mirrors

Getting Contemporary With Round Bathroom Mirrors

Homes with modern design elements tend to stray away from the traditional straight lines of countertops, tables, rugs, and frames. Adding rounded or asymmetrical aspects to the room truly give it a more contemporary feel. If this look is what you're hoping to achieve in your bathroom or vanity area, round bathroom mirrors are a great place to start - there are so many options available, so the room will still clearly be your own.

Off-center round bathroom mirrors not only shy from the traditional square or rectangular shape of mirrors, they also add the asymmetrical elements. These are simply a circular outer frame with a circular piece of mirrored glass placed somewhere just outside of the center. They are not very large, so one, two, or three of these can even be worked with to take up more wall space if desired.

Similarly, the oval option is also a great addition to any room. It is much more chic and looks gorgeous with a few flowers or other subtle designs hung around it. With no frame, these give the room a classy, simplistic appeal. With a frame, they provide many color choices. When decorations are hung around this mirror, there are so many options for the designer to get creative and make the room unique.

How to Select the Perfect Wall Mirror For the Room

How to Select the Perfect Wall Mirror For the Room

I've been asked many times over the years, how do I go about choosing a wall mirror that will fit in well with a particular room of my home? My answer to that is you have to know what room the wall mirror will be hung in and what style of mirror will match up with the theme of the room.

Let me start with a question. Which room in your home will this wall mirror hang in? Since we are only talking about wall mounted mirrors, your first thought should be the style. For the most part the different styles of wall mirrors are Traditional, Ornate, Modern, Frameless, Venetian and Kids.

Next you should think about what shape you would like this wall hanging mirror. Here your choices are rectangle, square, round, oval, arched, abstract, sunburst, octagon and custom.

What I call custom, is a wall mirror that is shaped in a non-uniform manner. An example of a custom wall mirror is a framed sectional mirror. There is a vanity mirror with a carved wood frame that actually holds 3 separate mirrors. There are 2 arched mirrors on each side, with a rectangle mirror in the center of the frame. Let me tell you this piece of wall mirror woodwork is absolutely gorgeous! Another simpler example of a custom wall mirror would be a triangular shaped mirror.

The next question you should ask yourself is do you want beveled glass or flat edge glass for your wall mirror. Here your choice is a matter of your own taste. Some people think that beveled glass mirrors are more elegant, while others prefer the clean look of flat edged glass wall mirrors. All you have to do is shop and compare until you have made your decision.

Designing a Swimming Pool with Glass Mosaic Tile

Designing a Swimming Pool with Glass Mosaic Tile

Incorporating glass mosaics design into your swimming pool can be just the thing to make your pool come to life, it will keep your pool from being ordinary and suffering from the ho hum's.

Colored cementacious finish coatings that are pretty typical today. After some years they start to wear and fade. With solid colored glass tile you will never have to have your pool walls recoated again. This can save quite a bit of money in the long run.

Glass tile is forever, it will never change its look or loose it's vibrant color due to the wear of chlorine and sun. Maintenance is a snap as the glass tile is non-pourus and cannot be penetrated by staining from unwanted objects that can wind up in the pool such as leaves.

There are so many colors, sizes and styles available it is sometimes difficult to choose. Some have a reflective quality. They are manufactured using a mirror backing with a transparent colored glass overlay. While some glass mosaics are opaque and others semitransparent. They all have unique qualities that work for many different looks and effects.

There are even photo luminescent tiles that absorb ambient light during the day and then at night they give off that stored up light. Glass mosaics are fantastic for your waterline as opposed to the everyday tiles offered from most pool companies. Some pool tile suppliers have special software that allows you to design your own blend or design of pool tile mosaics.

One feature that colorful mosaics are great for in modern swimming pool design is the vanishing edge. This is usually one side of the pool that has no coping; instead the top of the swimming pool wall is flat and lower than the surrounding coping. The water flows over the top of the wall and down into a reservoir and is recirculated back into the pool, it looks as though the water just vanishes over the edge.

Add Elegance With An Oval Bathroom Mirror

Add Elegance With An Oval Bathroom Mirror

A wall mirror in the bathroom is a functional item but it can also be decorative. With its rounded edges and unique shape, an oval bathroom mirror adds elegance to the room. It is much more attractive than the traditional rectangular or square mirrors placed on the wall to aid in shaving, makeup application, and hair styling.

Custom mirrors in an oval shape make even more of a statement because their handcrafting means no two are exactly alike. Considered decorative wall mirrors, they include designer accents like metal sculptures of colorful flowers. With some, the sculpture is independent of the mirror so each piece can be hung in different configurations. This provides more design options than the traditional bathroom mirror.

To display the custom made mirror, hang the mirror first and then hang the sculpture wherever it is desired. It can run along the top of the mirror or even down the side. Though it looks great in the bathroom, this mirror will also look nice in other rooms such as the bedroom or even in a hallway or entryway. Any area that can benefit from soft curves and gorgeous colors will be perfect for this item.

An oval bathroom mirror that is custom designed makes any home stand out from others in the neighborhood. Observers automatically equate oval curves with relaxation and they immediately feel at ease. Since the bathtub and shower are places of relaxation, the bathroom is the perfect spot for one of these beautiful mirrors. People spend their early morning and late night hours in this room so it is comforting to have such an elegant piece on the wall.
