History of fireplaces goes back many centuries ago. The word "fireplace" is translated from Latin as a "hotbed". Since ancient times fireplace is an essential element of the room. People at that time did not suspect what they create. Even a fire in the cave can already be compared with a fireplace, because requirements both of them remain unchanged to this day - to give people a warm and comfort. "Fireplace is an element of architectural design and it is a furnace with a chimney. Fireplaces are designed for heating of facilities or food using directly flame of burning fuel. Fireplaces use the following fuel: wood, coal, gas or electricity.
The main functional requirements to fireplace are the same from since. In the previous centuries - always in accordance with the style of the age - fireplaces were done large and overly decorated. Today we have unlimited opportunities to build fireplaces, ranging from simple brick up to high-tech solutions that characterize this age. Fireplace had been and remains as the main room decoration, though, if earlier, it was tied to only one room, then fireplace now is established as a "fitment" that play a central role in whole apartment or villa. It is important that in today's mechanized world our apartment or house will have this "home", the fireplace around which WE HUMAN BEINGS can sit down and talk, forgetting for a short time about gaining increasing popularity of TVs and computers in the world, which loses its HUMANITY, and where there is a genuine revolution in telecommunications. Fireplace as the main part of our living space will be a really good, if aesthetic point of view would be consistent with the environment if it would "unite" premises around it, organizing them into a coherent whole. At the same time, we rightfully expect from the fireplace, that together with the "living" in it natural elements - fire - it would be romantic and practical at the same time, that is, that it, fireplace, work well.

Cannot remember the artist of classic painting - Girl in a Field ....? My boyfriend puchased an Orlando Quevado for my birthday. Orlando's incorporates many different classic paintings into one painting and, thus, creates an even larger scene.
The painting I received is entitled 'Harmony' -- a woman standing beside a piano in a room with a fireplace. She is looking out a large picture window. Outside the window is the classic painting of the girl sitting (nearly sprawled) in the field (a wheat field?). All you see is the back of head. She is looking back into the distance toward a house/farm on a small hill. I get the feeling it is somewhere in Kansas. Here is the url to the painting I received. Can anyone tell me who painted the window scene and what the name of the painting is? ... Wait a minute. the scene he has painted is the Wyeth painting. But Orlando has not copied it exactly - probably because he would be sued by Wyeth's heirs. He has added a tower or tall building in the background, which is not in the original painting. Check it out and compare with your picture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christina's_World:

Ideas for Changing 80's Style Country Home to a Rich Tuscan or Mission Style on TIGHT Budget? House is currently 80's country. The woodwork is lt golden oak, white cabinetry & shiny hardware, shiny brass glass fixtures - my style is Tuscan, darker woods, marble, iron, rich earth tones. Mission also appeals to me, again, medium to dark woods, black iron, ect.
I am repainting the entire interior - walls & ceilings - that's already in the budget & is top priority. I'm thinking a shade similar to latte but w/ a neutral to slightly warm cast to it due to the woodwork. I want to incorporate as much antique looking black accent as possible, I love the old look & I have a lot wrought iron decor pieces. For furniture, I'm thinking leather, classic medium brown leather sofa/chair, need to find a dining table that is that... brass & glass? tape off the glass, spray paint the brass with a flat black spray paint made for metal.
paint kitchen walls a soft yellow (matches with the existing colors) and pick areas to go over in a darker shade of the same color. what i did was to buy a gallon of dark gold paint...then i mixed a small amount into a gallon of white (same brand, with about 2 cups removed & reserved) and painted the kitchen. then i used the dark gold and watered it down a little and rubbed it in some areas. then i went over the same ares with the dark gold not watered down.(kinda like layering on blush or eye shadow. lol) then i used a little bit of the white an rubbed it in small patches randomly. the overall effect was that the walls had aged and mellowed over time. ... |
