Loft Living

The LA Times has an article on loft living that's worth checking out. It features four lofts in the Toy Factory building, done four different ways.   The one shown below is our favorite.  It's so unique!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1bP0gWiyhdyaT5AP7eVwtl2k7uxTRuUkKmCRM4eAJiFDryBJhvIDGbuuyXpQOmpkSepDoly3aXw0d3kle8xTSPTf_l1TlGJaqkUWiIGfXdZPSWYaYnYv0LejrPIiy7N2Xnl-1ZkMfYp4P/s1600-h/loftliving1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ct="true" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1bP0gWiyhdyaT5AP7eVwtl2k7uxTRuUkKmCRM4eAJiFDryBJhvIDGbuuyXpQOmpkSepDoly3aXw0d3kle8xTSPTf_l1TlGJaqkUWiIGfXdZPSWYaYnYv0LejrPIiy7N2Xnl-1ZkMfYp4P/s400/loftliving1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Image  via <a href="http://www.latimes.com/" target="_blank">LA Times</a>.</div><br />You can check out the rest of the feature<a href="http://www.latimes.com/features/home/la-hm-toylofts-photos,0,4101547.photogallery" target="_blank"> here.</a>

Interior Design Ideas

<span id="articlebody"><p>Interior design ideas these days are dime a 12. If you watch a television show that is dedicated to interior designing for one hour, once you come out, you would have enough knowledge that you can design for complete home. The main drawback of a television show when compared to applying these ideas in life is these are tough to document. If you don�t sit next or in front of the TV and scribble down madly onto paper piece, it is really difficult to remember all the ideas that you get watching the show. The key for a successful interior designing is planning.</p></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span id="articlebody"><p><img alt="http://archinspire.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/modern-loft-house-interior-design-ideas8.gif" src="http://archinspire.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/modern-loft-house-interior-design-ideas8.gif" style="width: 398px; height: 311px;" /></p></span></div><span id="articlebody"> <p>Replicating or trying to copy an idea or design from a TV show for your home could include additional planning or steps which might not be shown in an hour or a thirty � minutes of a show. This being the reason it is necessary for one to go through the entire dry run of the design or idea before we actually execute it. There is a fair chance for figuring out and taking corrective measures to make sure a hassle free application.</p></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span id="articlebody"><p><img alt="http://ethicalweddings.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/interior-design.jpg" src="http://ethicalweddings.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/interior-design.jpg" style="width: 427px; height: 321px;" /></p></span></div><span id="articlebody"> <p>The only resource for ideas and information for interior designs is not Television. Books always remain as a better help for designers of any experience and background. The information we get in the books is more or less explanative and thought-out material when compared to a TV show. As book demand more basic information and material than a Television show can have in a limited segment of time. Not only this, books are written by two or three authors together for such subjects and are also edited before it is released to the readers in any form. So, the information would be edited and re-written by two to three parties. Exceptions for the rules are always there but, this would be the normal scenario.</p></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span id="articlebody"><p><img alt="http://i.ehow.com/images/GlobalPhoto/Articles/4805191/online-interior-design_Full.jpg" src="http://i.ehow.com/images/GlobalPhoto/Articles/4805191/online-interior-design_Full.jpg" style="width: 418px; height: 278px;" /></p></span></div><span id="articlebody"> <p>If you feel reading a book is time consuming for tedious task, then you can always choose to read a magazine article as another source of information for interior design. You always have the benefit of pictures or visual representations of the designs and its concepts in a magazine that you can look into or hold on for a particular period of time. Professional interior designers collect all these articles in big numbers along with the visuals and keep them in a format that can be accessible to everyone easily. This is a perfect source for getting specific information, feel or look that is difficult to describe in actual terms of industry for a client. Terminology used in these articles are self-explanatory although people who don�t have much expose to this jargons might find it difficult to understand few phrases or concepts that are used to define the interior design areas. Most of us are aware of the words �modern� and �traditional� design but, the magazines would not find it difficult to say �Americana� or �Minimalist� for these terms. You need not think its incomplete just because you are not aware of these phrases, you have to understand that the process of learning takes time and hence is exactly termed as a process.</p></span>
