Basically taking the principle of lighting in a bottle, this creative masterpiece from In-Es should be something that would start some new trends and improbable creations as far as honing up the in-home ambiance using the unlikely stuff.

Take a gander at Kaspar Hammacher’s first piece for his furnishing series with the Stein No. 1 coffee tables. The piece offers sound organic qualities to which artificially manufactured items would perhaps have a hard time duplicating.

The table has been sawed and sanded from a segment of an oak tree’s trunk to produce a sumptuous sculptural stone-like creation that still celebrates its winsome woodgrain texture. It is dubbed as the “the anchor for balance and tranquility in the life of its owner, as if it would still rest on the riverbank with water slowly forming its signature”.

From the looks of it, the coffee table would be a great addition outdoors although from the make, it seems like a cool addition to your living room.

Painting over Paneling can be tricky and if you don’t want to hire a professional keep these tips in mind:

Painting Directly Over the Paneling
Painting directly over the paneling is your easiest option. Follow these steps:

1. If necessary, use finish nails to tack down uneven seams.
2. Wash it down with a grease-cutting detergent or trisodium phosphate (TSP).
3. Prime with a good bonding primer.
4. Caulk gaps and seams, and fill and sand holes. If the paneling has a grainy texture, use your finger to fill little holes so you don’t create big flat spots.
5. Finish with two coats of good latex paint. I suggest flat paint, because the flatter the finish, the less irregularities will show. Most good paint companies now carry excellent washable flat paint.

DIY: Painting Directly Over the Paneling

At times, we find ourselves content with the standard furniture but may eventually look dull. While it does serve its purpose initially, as creative artists for home designs in our own right, we have an idea or two we are sure to have in our heads to which we cannot readily do mainly because we find it something not needed today.

But we can make a difference if we try. All it needs is one task and the rest will follow. For sure one of them is turning to possible reupholstering or having slipcovers that can brighten up an old couch or chair.

Consider this approach. It may be the secret to spicing up certain areas of your home or not the home as a whole:

Consider the suitability of fabric weight (thickness), weave and texture for the intended use.

A fabric with texture, versus a smooth finish, is less likely to show dirt, wear, and spots.

Durability: including an understanding of the natural life of some fibers is key.

Ease of cleaning and overall resistance to wear, dirt, and spotting is another important factor.

I cannot fathom the inspiration behind the Meltdown Chair but maybe the designer himself was have some kind of meltdown when he designed this bizarre chair.

“This chair is created by heating and pressing a seat-shaped former into a ball of polypropylene rope. The rope begins to liquify as it comes into contact with the heated former and, as it cools, it sets in the shape of a seat creating a contrast in form and texture to the remaining rope”
