10 Super Home Offices and Work Spaces
Even if all you do is email, it's beneficial to have a space designated in your home to give you privacy. If you have everything you need already organized and on hand, the risk of losing your concentration will be kept to a minimum.
Storage is essential. Tidy or messy - make sure your stuff is easily accessible and organized - in your own special way. A regular chest of drawers found at a thrift store and painted up works just fine as a filing cabinet. The photo on the right © Lynne's_Lens
No matter if you have space under the stairs or addition of your own, your space should be comfortable and a reflection of you.
Good light is essential. Daylight, whether a skylight or high window, lets in a cool, even work light. The white walls reflect the light and the warm wood tones.
Rugs help to muffle sound, they're comfortable to sit on, and they add some warmth and definition to space.

How to Dress to Look Slim
If you want to dress to look slimmer stay away from these:
1. bold patterns - plaid, paisley, large glen check
2. bulky fabric - flannel, tweed, corduroy, velvet
3. contrasting vest
4. double breasted jacket
5. horizontal lines
6. pocket flaps
7. wide spread collar or lapels
8. bulky clothes = bulky you
9. cuffed trousers
10. long jacket
11. chunky shoes
12. hair that is full on the sides
horizontal stripes add girth, tweed adds bulk, double breasted jackets widen
widespread lapels, collar and a pocket square pointing outward leads the eye outward, cuffed trousers stouten, contrasting vest accents the mid section
pocket flaps add bulk to the wrong sections, long jackets shorten, bold prints, like glen check, magnify

The Vandaam House: Hitchcock's Iconic Structure
Along with the telephone, I loathe the television.
However, once I learned from my fellow Bette Davis loving neighbor that I could subscribe to a channel that aired classic movies 24/7 I got the old 13 inch Toshiba pumping out radiation and squealing its high pitched love palpitations asap.
Lounging around in a heat wave that would melt the S out of Son of Sam I flicked on the radon box and began watching North by Northwest, a Hitchcock classic. When what to my wondering eyes should appear but a house on a cliff that proved all too unreal, With a look like Lloyd Wright, so modern and sleek, I knew in a moment I must Google it.
Before I continue in full on anapestic verse I direct you to Stewf who will explain how things are not always as they seem.

Design Lover: Alessandro Albrizzi Fireplace Tools
Albrizzi's name became synonymous with cutting-edge interior design. His trademark chrome and acrylic home furnishings were known for their sleek, clean, versatile shapes and took the form of desks, tables, stacking cubes and accessories like lucite backgammon sets and fireplace tools. In 1970, Vogue magazine declared Albrezzi's shop in New York's Carlyle Hotel the place "where chic people of all ages seem to find the very thing for their own or their friends' houses."
Albrizzi's fireplace tools came in materials such as lucite and brass, steel travertine and rosewood, brass and wood and brass and black lacquer.
