We have recently brought a play system that includes a climbing frame from the great selection of climbing frames that Rainbow Play systems offers, they are great and what a selection – ok sorry enough of the plug – I don’t work for them honestly! What I really wanted to blog about is getting back to your child hood. We both work from home and now that we have had the play system / slide /climbing frame installed I decided to have a go when no one was looking – put on my track suit and thought I would see what all the fuss was about – and well it was fantastic. We used to have an adventure play ground near my child hood home in Buckinghamshire – you won’t find them anywhere now that the health and safety people have got their hands on them and shut them down but I used to love spending the long summer days there risking my neck on the death slides. Anyhow I spent nearly four hours! Jumping up and down on the trampoline or climbing like a crazed monkey on the climbing frame part of the play system – I think the neighbours either side must’ve though I was a loony but I tell you what I felt blooming brilliant and was chuckling to myself the whole of the four hours plus it was a good workout too!!
Most homeowners like to have an extra bedroom in their home in order for guests to have their own place when visiting. When decorating your guest room certain considerations can help make the room quite appealing and comfortable for your house guests.
When placing a bed in a guest room do not put a cheap, old mattress on the bed. Nothing makes for a worse visit been getting a restless night of sleep on a poor quality mattress. If your budget can afford a new good quality mattress considered air mattress. Today’s air mattresses are quite comfortable and can be placed upon a current box spring mattress or perhaps even on the floor.
Another piece of furniture that you should consider adding to your guest room is either a small table or bench. You can also buy a luggage rack specifically made for this task. Even a chair works wonders as a luggage rack. This will provide a space for your guest to place their suitcase. Having the suitcase at waist level would keep them from having to steepen over onto the floor or utilize bed space.
Other furniture that you can consider putting in the guest bedroom would include seating. Some guests like to have a place to sit other than the bed. With a table and lamp close by this is a perfect place for them to relax, read or perhaps complete other tasks.
Also consider the types of linens that you will put in the bedroom. If you can afford them take the time to buy high quality linens that will provide comfort to your house guests. You might also consider a down comforter, a soft pillow top for your mattress and soft pillows. Also supply the guest bedroom with bath linens that they can use while visiting.
A great online store where you can purchase good quality beds and mattresses for your guest room, or any other bedroom in the house, is http://www.bedstar.co.uk. They have a massive collection of different beds, such as sofa beds and divan base beds.
A dim light in your room can have two kinds of effects- a soothing romantic effect or dark dungeon-like effect. Basically, it depends on the lighting you choose and how it is placed. If you have a big house, go for a traditional-style chandelier. But take care that it goes well with the furnishing. For smaller houses, you can use brass or copper lanterns. Add elegance to your room with crystal and frosted-glass. Painted china lamp or ginger jars could also be a good option. A Tiffany-style and mica-type can add elan to your sitting room reflecting a subtle glow to your interiors.
