In this environment make family meals, dinner parties, intimate evenings, etc, so it becomes a place to enjoy. The set should look smooth, table, chairs and sideboard must have something in common. Plugins can take a note vintage such as crystal chandeliers. In modern styles the trend toward sleek design and lacquered tables, metal or glass and chairs combine lighter than the classic. One tip is that before purchasing the chairs to taste them, since they must be comfortable. Invest in a cupboard that has sufficient storage capacity and is tough, remember that the household weight.

Whistler Luxury Record Sale


Whistler has a new real-estate record with the pending $17.5-million sale of a sprawling luxury home on 1.9 hectares with a view of Blackcomb Mountain. The house, a five-bedroom, 5,000-square-foot wood-and-stone luxury home at 6715 Crabapple Dr., was listed on the Multiple Listing Service last July for $22 million.The property’s listing firm, Thornhill Real Estate Group, confirmed the sale to The Vancouver Sun.

The deal has not yet closed, but the $17.5-million price tag will make it the second most expensive home to sell in all of B.C., according to data compiled by Landcor Data Corp. from the provincial land titles registry.The most expensive transaction, according to Landcor’s list, was the $28.2-million sale of 3330 Radcliffe Ave. in West Vancouver. That house previously attracted attention in 2004 when it sold for what was then a record $17 million. In an earlier interview, Thornhill said she has noticed money coming back into Whistler over the past 10 months or so, following a lull in the market that has lasted several years.However, while buyers were taking a breather on Whistler, other high-end resorts saw their markets rise, Thornhill said, so now Whistler isn’t the highest-priced real estate. Patrick Kelly, with Whistler Real Estate Co., said market activity has not been the strongest at the “super high-end,” but “certainly interest has increased for more expensive family-oriented property.

“And that’s a trend right across North America. That’s not just a Whistler thing.” Kelly said that Whistler is becoming more of an icon resort because of the Olympic venues that have been built there. “I haven’t talked to anybody who’s been to the new [Olympic] Nordic centre who isn’t just raving about it,” he said. “I don’t think it will ever be an Aspen or a Vail,” Kelly said, but right now Whistler’s stock is rising.

The largest yellow diamond in the world

Tiffany diamond


The famous Tiffany diamond, flashing yellow beams of light and weighing 128.54 carats, is on loan to the National Museum of Natural History until September.

The jewel, one of the largest fancy yellow diamonds ever discovered, was lent by Tiffany & Co. for a rare trip outside New York.

The diamond, mined in South Africa in 1877, was cut from its original 287.42 carats by famed Tiffany gemologist George Frederick Kunz.

"This is one of the world's great diamonds," said Jeffrey Post, curator of the museum's National Gem Collection. "The color is intense and even in 1878 it made a splash, and Kunz cut it for its brilliance." It has 82 facets instead of the usual 58.

The diamond, which is about an inch wide, will be displayed in its current "Bird on a Rock" setting by Jean Schlumberger -- a brooch with a bird of yellow and white pavé diamonds with a ruby eye perched on top.

Two more images after the jump.

.
In them odern Chinese Document A whole , Reaped ground character is a form of its own, representing a particular sound and at least one meaning.

In other words, each Chinese Emblem is a unity of form, sound and meaning.

To Be informed of Chinese writing, you need to know each Chinese symboi or Moral qualities individually. You will need a vocabulary of at least 3,000 characters to understand 90% of what you read.

A vocabulary of 4-5,000 characters allows you to understand almost everything written in Chinese in the modern context. Although there are more than 60,000 characters listed in the largest Chinese dictionaries most of them are ancient symbols and no longer in use.

Only a very small proportion of Chinese characters- some 300, perhaps- are simple representations of natural objects; all others are composite signs.

Each sign generally has two components: a graphic component (which repeesent a man, woman, tree etc.) and a phonetic component, which gives Some people idea of the pronunciation.

Learning Chinese writing is quite different from learning a Western language.
To learn a Western language like English, you need to know a whole series of sounds. If you take an English word apart, separating it into its many phonetic syllables, it would lose its meaning altogether.

In learn Chinese writing, you first lean the characters and then you learnn the wor.dTake, for instance, the Chinese da4 xue2 ?? which means "university". First you learn da4 “big” and xue2 “school; learn” separately.

Although the meaning of da xue has to do with da and xue, it is not a simple case of da ”big” plua xue ”school”. It does not mean "big school".

If you were to take the English word “university” and try to figure out its meaning based on the m3anings of the five syllabic components u/ni/ver/sit/ty, you would not understand anything because they mean nothing.

So, the Chinese character forms the basis in learning Chinese writing whereas the word or sentence forms the basis for learning a Western language.

In Chinese writing, the symbol is the unit carrier of meaning whereas in English it is the word which serves the same purpose.

Chinese characters are essentially pictures and they appeal to the eye. In comparison, Western letters and words are based on
sound rather than sight.

It is also important to choose the correct orientation for your furniture. You can meet your furniture to some architectural focal point, such as:

Fireplace

Large windows overlooking the garden or outdoor

Arch

If no such focal point in your home then you can create one by hanging pictures or paintings on the wall.

4) Use Area Rugs to define seating areas. They not only add a splash of color to the decor, but also tying things together. Especially when your living room is divided into two or three seating areas, using various carpets clearly define these areas.

5) If your furniture is in neutral colors, then add a very colorful and decorative pillows. This adds color to it and also creates many guests and a cozy feeling. This is especially important in winter. Adding casts can also serve the same purpose.

Matilde House - luxury home


Information from Ailtireacht Architects:
The existing two-storey return was at a scale not befitting such a large house with cramped internal dimensions making the spaces unusable. Traditionally, Victorian returns consist of a series of functional and subservient spaces to the mainhouse. The design exploits this premise, in the creation of a series of generously proportioned multifunctional spaces, accommodating the contemporary needs not afforded by a typical Victorian House, spaces envisaged for working, playing, bathing and sleeping. The functional materiality of the proposal is selected in response to the existing condition of unpainted render at the rear terrace and the subordinate functional spaces contained therein.
