The Rocket Launcher Alarm Clock is

Tanya — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 18:48:47 +0000

The Rocket Launcher Alarm Clock is yet another clock that gets the job done. On the desired set time, the alarm begins a countdown. If the unsuspecting owner doesn’t haul himself out of bed in time, the rocket gets launched and one has to find where the rocket has landed to silence the alarm.

The i-sleep may just be my new best friend. Designed by Ivonne Dippmann, the i-sleep is a pillow that gets inflated once attached to a laptop. Not only that but when the pillow gets inflated, one also gets to hear some relaxing music.

Le Clochard by SNURK may not be a hit with the design aficionados but it surely makes an important statement. The cotton bedding set looks like real cardboard boxes and the income generated from the sales will go to various housing projects. Their tagline is “Sleep under a cardboard box so a homeless young person doesn’t have to”.

Langley headboard

HomeAndBedroom — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 09:03:36 +0000

Sometimes something ornate is just what fits. Sometimes it is something spindly and windy that you want to have in your bedroom. Other times, however, you want something simple and plain but that doesn’t lack in style. This is where metal headboards come in. Unlike wood, metal headboards can be bent, twisted, and melded into a pleasing shape. If you’re looking to have a more feminine touch or something that is whacky to look at, metal can be twisted and transformed into that. If you’re in the mood for something more solid and straightforward, however, you can find that in metal as well.

The Langley Headboard is the perfect example of a contemporary headboard that is made from metal. The design is classic: solid metal poles going down with a solid bar on the top. Each bar has a rounded ball at the end of it and the entire thing, from spindles to posts, is a deep copper that has a layer of black antiquing over it to give it even more style than it would have had if it were colored any other color.

This piece of affordable bedroom furniture, made by the Fashion Bed Group, is a one that is ideal simply because it fits in almost any room. You could buy this headboard in a king size and use it in your master bedroom. You could buy it in a twin size and use it for your teenaged son’s bedroom. Or you can get it in a full or queen and use it in the guest bedroom. This headboard is so versatile that you could even use it as the bed in a home office type of situation! If you’re looking for something simple yet solid, this is the headboard for you.

Class comes in Black and White Designed Furniture

brian yalung — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 18:38:06 +0000

Color combinations happen to be a drag for some people, especially if you cannot figure out how to blend everything with the millions of potential color combinations that your room and chosen furniture would be. Apparently you can simplify it all by focusing on two colors: Black and/or White.

Sounds simple? While many feel that they are dull colors, they are actually classy and exotic designs that redefine home and room designs today. Rarely can you be able to see rooms that offer a common theme with two basic colors. It can range from wallpapers, chairs, beds, and even standard furniture tables to boot.

Simple can sometimes be classy. It all depends on how you make it all work and fall into place.

Video Games in Bed Lead to Sleep Deprived Teens

Tanya — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 08:00:06 +0000

According to a new study which got released first at the Australasian Sleep Conference, teens are not getting enough sleep due to watching TV, playing video games and listening to music in bed.

Associate Prof Kurt Lushington, of UniSA School of Psychology, says:

“Sleep is very important for learning and memory, particularly in year 12 when pressure is on to perform. A lot of kids are reporting that they’re tired when they wake up and there are quite a few reporting they’re sleepy during the day.”

Mulberry Daybed with Link Spring

HomeAndBedroom — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 07:38:07 +0000

Your children have left the nest, and you would like to turn one of the bedrooms into a sewing or craft room. The only problem, however, is that you need a bed as well. After all, you enjoy having the house to yourself after all these years, but you want to make sure that there is a place for your children to spend the night if they just happen to pop by for an overnight visit. One way to solve your problems in a unique and beautiful way is to bring in a daybed.

Daybeds are very versatile, as they can work well for almost any type of a situation or décor. For instance, if you’ve got a craft room and you want to add a couch, but also want to have a bed for your family to sleep in should they come by again, a daybed would work beautifully. The Mulberry Daybed with Link Spring is designed elegantly, with metal twisting and curving to creating a very feminine look to it. The camel back design is unique in that it is two pieces that meet together and then swirl down, which is unlike most camel back designs. The posts are solid enough to support the bed and mattress while still keeping the elegant design with the rounded balls on the top of each post.

Created by the Fashion Bed Group, this metal daybed is ideal for those who are searching for an elegant bed that they can add to their room. It is finished with a dusky bronze finish, making it perfect in a lightly colored room. With a daybed you will have a place to sit when you want to rest and you will have a place for your children to sleep when they come to visit!

Make Way for Green Appliance Demands

brian yalung — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 00:04:53 +0000

The by-word today is conserve and save as much as you can. And for homes, saving means trying to cut down on energy consumption, something that we can often trace to our usual home appliances that we just plug in and turn on.

Today however, new energy conserving devices are available in the market. They boast of various eco-friendly compliance standards, helping consumers through using energy-conserving appliances based on remodeled appliances that should save consumers a buck or two.

“If you can save money on your energy bill and receive a government subsidy at the same time, why not [buy energy-saving electrical appliances]?” she said, adding that an energy-saving refrigerator can save up to 40 percent on electricity costs compared with a traditional one.

Recalls on Hammock Stands and Appliances Announced

brian yalung — Sat, 04 Oct 2008 16:21:45 +0000

Ok here we go again. A new round of recalls has been announced due to some safety issues but this time around they are not from China. Rather, thanks to the incidents that have been reported on one occasion or another, it can be seen that these stuff which include hammock stands, toasters, chest drawers and boilers have caused injury to consumers who have bought them.

• Hammock stands. About 30,000 wooden hammock stands, manufactured in China and imported by Pottery Barn, because the stand can deteriorate over time when used outdoors. This poses a risk of falls and cuts. The company has received 12 reports of injuries. The stands were sold through the Pottery Barn catalog and Web site between March 2003 and July 2008.

• Toasters. About 210,000 General Electric toasters, manufactured in China and imported by Wal-Mart Stores, because they can short-circuit and pose a fire or shock hazard. The toasters were sold at Wal-Mart Stores around the country between September 2007 and July 2008.

• Chest of drawers. About 5,000 KVIBY chests, manufactured in Denmark by Ikea Home Furnishings, because the glass knobs on the drawers can break, posing a risk of cuts. The company received three reports of cuts in the United States that required medical attention. The chests were sold at Ikea stores around the country between August 2007 and July 2008.

• Boilers. About 4,600 Vitodens 200 boilers, manufactured in Canada by Viessmann Manufacturing, because the gas can leak. This poses a fire hazard. The boilers were sold by plumbing and heating contractors around the country between January 2002 and December 2007.

If you think you bought any of these during the said dates, check out your receipts and the brand. Do not allow yourself to be the next victim.

Calvin Klein will introduce two designer furniture lines this spring ‘Calvin Klein’ and ‘The Curator collection by Calvin Klein Home’. “Strategically, the addition of furniture is very significant for us as it further extends the Calvin Klein Home lifestyle product offering,” said Tom Murry, Calvin Klein’s president & chief executive officer.

The Calvin Klein furniture collection will be sold exclusively at Macy’s as of January, and consists of three groups - City, Weekend and Destination - with each group having a specific wood finish of walnut, whitewash and teak, respectively.
