Our neighbor is having house renovations that’s why when we wake up in the morning we can hear the sound of power tools like the machine that is used to cut tiles. I think they are making a house extension dunno what it is for it is either for kitchen or living room.

House extension is not that expensive as long as you know where to buy cheap but quality materials, it is also a  great alternative than buying a new home. You can add rooms and install new equipment and decorations too.

If there’s one thing I could not forget it, that was when I accidentally slip of a public place. My mother and I went to town to use the internet, the shop is in a second floor of an old establishment which is made of hardwood floor including the stairs. I am wearing a clog that time going up is not a problem but going down is such an embarrassment, I slip but because my mother is just in front of me I am not able to slip further but when I step down and I asked her not to walk in front of me I slip up to the bottom and the sound is just so embarrassing that the people inside the internet cafe went out the door and look down what is happening at the stairs, I just laughed to cover up my embarrassment.

Anyway one of the major concerns among property and home owners is accident from slipping. There different forms of anti-slip flooring that could be used in any public buildings, commercial establishments, homes and etc., and this material could be in epoxy floor system, non-slip coating, functional paints and glass flake coating. Using this substances could increase the friction between two surfaces. They also served as protective layer that can prevent your floor from scratches, they are also offer glossy finish to surfaces, odorless and colorless and have fire retardant properties.

Well I think the commercial building where the internet cafe was is not using anti-slip solution and when we went there it looks like it is newly wax or varnished because the floor is very shiny.

Remodeling your home is very important because you will not just maintain the beauty of it but also improve the value of your house. By remodeling you will also improve the quality of your house and keep it from pest infestation, the kitchen is one of the place you need to consider remodeling because this is the place which is prone to heat.

Kitchen remodeling is quite  a large job but a simple repainting will do but if you want more than this you might as well consider changing your kitchen doors, moving the furniture’s and position of appliances, changing the lights and restructuring your entire kitchen.

This could be quite expensive especially if you are planning to hire a contractor but with the help of further research online you could find site like AccentBuildingProducts.com  that sells affordable but best quality materials that could help you to start your project.

One of the easiest way to change the look of your kitchen is changing the door handles and door of your cabinetry, it is least expensive too rather than remodeling your whole kitchen that would require a lot of money.

You should choose cabinet door and handles according to what you desired but you should know that there are many different kinds of colors, shape and styles to choose from so it is not an easy task to pick one that will compliment your kitchen.

There are rectangular, circular and even oblong cabinet handles which are mostly made of metals and plastics. So you should carefully choose which one you like and will give your kitchen a new look.

The most important part and prominent feature of your home decor is curtains. A house without curtains is like an incomplete home or simply like a tree with out leaves.  Curtains protect your house from excessive sunlight and gives you privacy inside your house. Curtains come in wide variety of designs, measurement, fabrics and style.  The common material used by many is cotton not only because it is affordable but it is also easy to wash.

If you prefer curtains that provide good protection against sunlight you should choose thicker fabrics, this type of curtains are commonly used in big hotels and big houses. You should also remember that using curtain is not just about buying it you should measure your window so you would know what size of curtain you need to beautify your home.

What comes to our mind when we saw grandma (gym owner’s mom) cleaning and throwing their old things from their house like tables, old cabinets, bed and even bed covers they are going to have some house expansion.

And our guess was right because after few days we saw the first floor of their house being torn down just the floor and walls that dividing the rooms, we saw a lot of sacks inside as well.

Now here is the challenge; you want to decorate your house with hip and trendy furniture, but at the same time you have to consider your young children who can hurt or cut themselves on hard materials and sharp edges – plus they will play and jump on everything that you own. This is why young families need furniture with safe shapes and soft materials that also requires low maintenance so that you don’t spend your entire day cleaning. All these requirements combined with some aesthetic design would therefore be ideal.  There is no need to compromise beautiful design for safety and functionality.

As the centre of almost every house is the living room, you should pay particular attention to how you choose your sofa. The sofa is where you will spend family time, watch the telly together and relax after a long hard day.

Firstly, think about the shape; it should be well-rounded with few angles in order to avoid any dangers for your children. Bean bags are playful and also come in trendy shapes and colours – plus they are absolutely comfy!

Secondly, as children tend to get things dirty and are often a little incautious, you should definitely think about the material of your couch.  A normal fabric cover will not be enough. The cover must be removable and washable without losing its colour. A good option is to go for a sofa made of genuine or faux leather. This kind of material is very easy to clean – you can just wipe off the dirt!

Thirdly, think about maybe creating some extra space in your house by combining different functionalities in one piece of furniture. A sofa bed, such as the Houdini Sofa Bed in a romantic red colour, is a practical solution for when you and/or your children often have friends stay the night.

Most old houses are made of wood flooring which is good because it can last for a long period of time. They are durable but quite expensive, well it actually depends to the type  of hardwood. There are solid ones which are fully made of hardwood and there are refinishing type which is made of part wooded materials and hardwood. Example of wooded materials are fiberboard or plywood, floor refinishing is the cheap alternative of wood flooring not as durable of the solid hardwood but it can still last for a long time.

If you are planning to remodel your bedroom you should try using modern bedroom furniture to make an exquisite look, elegant and comfortable stye. Using wood furniture can be stylish, luxurious and modern they are easily available in any store and even on online shops but you have to remember on buying furniture,  the looks should complement on the furniture in your home or to the design you are planning.

One of the house in our neighborhood  is using dark tint on their window maybe it is for their privacy or style on beautifying their home. Window tinting  can enhanced the appearance of windows, it can add charm and good atmosphere to your window.  Tint are usually dark in color but like most other things they came in different shades based where you are going to use it.

As what I have read there are tint that can be only used in commercial and business establishment which means they can’t be used on residential houses because of the shades of the tint, if you will noticed in most commercial establishment they are using lighter shades and if you ever saw a commercial establishment using  darker shades that’s for private and security used, I think it is the same on vehicles because most celebrity, bank and government vehicles are tinted where you can’t see who is inside but they can see you from the inside.

The government in our country has a policy not to use tinted windows and curtains on public vehicles to avoid serious crime like hold-ups, hijacking and even hostage situation.
