Holy Smokes! These Bird Houses Are Like As Good As Real Houses I Think

Posted on February 02, 2012 at 23:27:27

I usually write about the houses and the homes that humans live in but now I want to write about some amazing bird houses that I've seen. Just look for yourself! Please do! They're so amazing!

At first when I saw some of the pictures I couldn't believe that they weren't real houses but they were just bird houses. So I looked closer and closer and then I started seeing how big these amazing bird houses probably are. Some of them aren't just bird houses they are more like bird apartments or bird condominiums! There are some pics in that gallery where there are people standing next to the bird houses and the bird houses are so so so so so huge! Before I saw these amazing bird houses I always thought that bird houses were usually small like so maybe only one or two birds could live in them but these bird houses look so huge that whole bird families could live in them if there's even such a thing as a bird family!

It must take a lot of work and effort and care to make bird houses that are so big and so amazing. And I think they'd look great in the yard. I still can't get over just how much detail is in each and every one of those bird houses shown in that bird house photo gallery. This is some of the finest wood working and craftsmanship that I've seen. Those are some really amazing bird houses!

A Modest House With Many Traditional Values

Posted on January 31, 2012 at 02:20:31

I like modest houses and a great example of a modest house with traditional values is this one. After looking at the floor plans I think that this house looks rustic but it also looks very comfortable. I think it would make a great modest house for a modest family who likes traditional values.

Like in many traditional house plans we find a good sized porch at the front. This porch can be a gather place where the family can sit on some comfortable chairs and enjoy a cool evening breeze while they talk and maybe even sing and play instruments and have a good old traditional time.

Going in the front door we find ourselves in the living room. This is a good sized living room and best of all it has a fire place. Fire places are a very traditional way of heating a home and so I think it's very fitting that such a modest and traditional house would have a great traditional fireplace in a common area like the living room. After an evening gathering on the front porch I think the entire family could go into the living room and warm up in front of a roaring fire and they could spend the early night relaxing and talking.

At the back of the house we find the dining room and the kitchen. These are two very practical rooms that are also important in all houses but they are especially important in traditional houses because they are another place where the family gathers and enjoys traditional family values like a large breakfast. The dining room is square shaped which is convenient for a round table. The kitchen opens directly into the dining room and it has a C shape to it. This shape gives it lots of counter space and lots of cupboards too. I think that all of these factors would make this a very practical kitchen for preparing large breakfasts and dinners that could be served in the dining room that's so close by.

In the back corner of the living room we find an entrance to a bedroom along the side of the house. I would consider this to be the master bedroom of the house because it has lots of closet space and past the closets we find a bathroom with a tub and a toilet and a counter with two sinks. The bedroom itself has a rectangular shape and it has a window looking out to the side of the house and a window looking onto the porch too. Going out the bedroom door we find a closet located under the stairs nearby.

The stairs leading to the upper level are along the one side of the living room between it and the bedroom on the first floor. The bottom of the stairs is near the front door and they lead up to near the middle of the upper floor. At the top of the stairs there's a linen closet and also a door leading to a storage area. I think that this storage area could be used for storing a lot of the traditional possessions that a traditional family would have. There is also a shared bathroom on this floor. It has a tub and a toilet and a sink. There's even a skylight above the toilet which is a nice touch.

There are two bedrooms on this upper level. One of them is square and it has a dormer looking out the front of the house. Through the closet there's also a way to access more storage area at the front of the house. The other bedroom is on the other side of the house and it also has a dormer looking out the front of the house. The other bedroom on the upper level also has a closet that's located near the rear of this traditional house.

If you look at the floor plans for this house design I think you will see what I mean when I say it's modest but traditional and it's just full of traditional family values. It has a great blend of living space and private space and practical space. Put together these are all of the elements of a great traditional house that in my opinion would be a comfortable place to live even if the family is larger and maybe even has two or three children. Traditional families like to live a lifestyle that encourages traditional family values and I think this modest house could let them do that very comfortably.

These Lamps That Look Like Balloons Look Just Great

Posted on January 31, 2012 at 01:44:21

I just saw some pictures of lamps that look like balloons. I think that this is a great idea for a lamp! They do look just like glowing balloons and they have such a great feel to them I think.

There's just something about the sight of a balloon floating in the air that can really transform a room. These lamps capture that and then they show that spirit when the room is dark which is when a room really needs enlightenment the most. I really like the design of these lamps. They just look so great!

This Great Lamp Is Made Of Test Tubes! It Is So Scientific

Posted on January 25, 2012 at 23:44:07

I've never been very good at science. I just don't get it! But when I see a lamp made of science test tubes I have to be amazed! This is a great design for a lamp!

I think that this lamp just has so much potential. When the test tubes are empty it still looks like a great lamp. It looks very regal and it makes me think of the kind of lamp you'd find in a very expensive mansion. But then just look at it when colored liquids are put into the test tubes! It's like it becomes a whole new lamp that's full of vibrant colors! You can even customize it so that it fits your personality and your room perfectly! What a great lamp design!

These Sure Are Some Great Bookshelves

Posted on January 25, 2012 at 23:20:04

Lots of people like to read books and if you're the kind of person who likes to read books then you've probably got so many books that you need lots and lots of bookshelves to store all of these books that you own. I always forget just how much potential bookshelves have to not only do a great job storing books but also to look great!

Recently I saw this list of unusual bookshelves and I think some of them are so amazing! Some of them have curves that are out of this world! They don't just curve side to side but some of them also curve outward and inward too! Curves can take a normal bookshelf and make it very very unique.

Now if you don't like unusual and fancy bookcases then there are always more traditional bookcases that you can consider for your library or your reading room. Just look at the different ways that the same bookshelf can be painted and decorated and even modified too. I think all of those designs look absolutely great! The white one with the doors looks especially vintage to me.

I hope you enjoyed looking at those bookshelves as much as I did. Some of them had crazy curves that made them look outrageously unusual and others are more traditional. But whatever your taste I'm sure there's a bookshelf that you can find that'll be just great for your room and your personality too!
