Do you want to create 'distressed look' kitchen cabinets and give a whole new look to your kitchen or other areas? In decorative arts, distressing is the art of making pieces look very old and worn. Distressed cabinets are used to give a kitchen a vintage, antique style. There are many methods of aging wooden furniture. Mostly these involve removing layers of paint in uneven patches, leaving remnants of layers that show different colors, or even bare wood beneath. The aim is to have a 'look' that is rustic, imperfect and aged. Have you seen those 'distressed' pieces in trendy furniture shops where the distressing method has obviously been to press imprints into the timber or wood, with an...

How to Trace Sewing Patterns
Do you have expensive, out of print or vintage patterns you cannot bear to cut? The best way to preserve your patterns is to trace them onto pattern tracing cloth or paper. Do you have a favorite pattern that you use over and over? If the pieces are already cut, an easy way to preserve them is to fuse each pattern piece to a lightweight, non-woven interfacing. Just cut a piece of fusible interfacing the size of the pattern piece and place the adhesive side to the wrong side of the pattern on an ironing board. Set your iron on synthetic (no steam) and fuse the interfacing to the pattern in smooth even strokes. Press until the pattern is thoroughly adhered to the interfacing and trim the edges to...
No.8 Chanel Large Soft Lambskin Tote Bag
Emerging in Chanel handbag collection Paris Moscow Fall 2009, this Large Soft Lambskin Tote Bag as its Fall couture, is comparatively toned-down and does not manage to outstrip the genius of previous Spring collection. That is the annoying thing when you are competing against yourself. Objectively speaking, this tote is indelible if ignoring glamorous Spring Chanel handbag collection. All the Chanel craftsmanship was there, of course, and impeccably achieved. Soft lambskin is crafted in quilted pattern, which is the vintage appearance since Coco Chanel created and used it in Chanel 2.55, and innovated by Karl Lagerfeld in pyramid effect.

Staying in a villa on a Mallorca holiday is a great way for Brits to see the island as it offers them unrivalled privacy, the chance to unwind in their very own pool and all the mod cons which they are used to in their own homes. A trip to a farmhouse in Mallorca could be ideal for all types of holiday. From a romantic break for two...
No.5 Chanel Classical Stitched Vinyl Bag with...
Frankly speaking, I did not say any remarkable feat in Chanel’s design and craftsmanship from this Classical Stitched Vinyl Bag. It is said that all of the creative elements of Chanel’s branding are immensely, luxuriously over the top in ways that few other brands can touch, except Louis Vuitton. However, I cannot say any creative elements from this bag. What Karl Lagerfeld did is just revamping- interpreting vintage Chanel 2.55 in a new way- not yet in trendy way, just changing quilting pattern to flower plus CC logo. Nevertheless, it is still sumptuous and elegant. Copying the fa?ade from Coco Chanel destines its noble and subtle style. The quilted leather is embroidered with flowers composed...

Cover plates are a simple design that can be attached to any wall with small mounting screws. Understanding the type of plates available for the home is important before buying any large quantity of plates – this is...

When most of us think of a fireplace the vision of logs, pokers and bellows comes to mind as does the smell of smoke. As charming as it may be, maintaining a log fireplace is often quite inconvenient as wood must be carried inside, the fire closely watched and the ashes must be cleaned out - not to mention the sometimes smoke-filled room it can cause. Today...

Buying an Heirloom Vintage Watch
I receive frequent communications from people who wish to purchase a vintage watch with the intention of passing it down to a favoured son (or daughter). This is a thoughtful and admirable act that can encourage an interest by future generations in family history and add to the cache of family treasures. Providing that a benefactor has delivered the first recipient a rich or happy childhood uncontaminated by major trauma or tyranny, an heirloom watch can act as a powerful anchor that propels the wearer back in time to savour shared and cherished moments. In more egoistic terms, an heirloom watch is a way to be remembered. Let's face it, most of us would like to be remembered fondly after we have...
