I am not supposed to do anything today as I was advised to take a rest. But as I was surfing the net I found these lovely unique pieces of furniture. And here I am, sharing them with you already. I love their colors, shapes, and playful designs. I thought I would just take a rest for a while in using too many words and just show them to you. I found these lovely pieces of furniture from Dust Furniture, a collection of studio furniture from craft artist Vincent Thomas Leman. All of Dust’s furniture is skillfully handcrafted by Vincent and Jessie Leman in their studio in

It is just up to you where to put it in your home, but wherever you put these nice pieces of furniture, that space would definitely be more lively and charming.

I heart this simple living room. I love the simplicity of its design and the use of soothing colors to create a very relaxing surrounding. Clearly there is balance in this cottage style living space, a sofa in the middle with two lovely lamps on both sides, the framed wall arts and the two candle wall sconces at the wall at the back of the sofa are also immaculately hanged and meticulously arranged to create a perfect balance. Fortunately, the living room did not appear dull and boring because of too much focus on balance, thanks to the eye-catching and uniquely shaped sofa with three throw-pillows, the two of which are identical and placed on the left and right side of the sofa and the other pillow in the middle. The elegantly designed fabric of the sofa adds to the cozy cottage ambiance and laid-back atmosphere of this lovely living space. Even if I am an admirer of colorful and lively spaces, I heart this simple and elegant living room.

These awesome paintable wallpapers are the perfect solution to problem walls. It can hide away all unsightly problems in your walls. It covers cracks, paneling, and even cinderblock. And it is not only good for problem walls. It can also be used to beautify your dull walls or just create a new design and feel on any space in your home. And the best part of it is that it is paintable, you can paint it with colors that will suit your home interior design and it comes with a variety of effects and designs. It adds texture and feel on the surface of your walls that are otherwise missing on ordinary wallcoverings. These Graham and Brown Paintables are also durable and it has elegant style and effects that will no doubt fit in any wall or ceiling you wish to cover. I personally like the Victorian Effect which is patterned after traditional tin ceilings and perfect for older Victorian and colonial homes and the Stucco Effect which really makes your walls have the lovely stucco walls surface which really looks thicker but without the cost and commitment of having real ones.
