Reactive Paint (by @baekdal) #design Shi Yuan has created a way to turn normally passive things into something with a life of its own. Like this wallpaper that reacts to heat, the painting that react when you touch it, or the daily calendar that fades away during the day. It is made using heat sensitive paint - and it is incredible. Heat Sensitive Wallpaper Turn up the heat and your wallpaper starts to blossom. Here with the radiator is off... ...and now on. A painting with feelings Show people how you feel by touching the painting. The day that simply faded away... Watch how the day slowly fades away with this calendar (Via Shi Yuan) Follow: 42Concepts Strawtec.com.au :: News A Brief Overview My name is Amos and I live in Brisbane with my Wife Natalie and my beautiful 3 year old daughter Isabella. Over the past few years Natalie and I have been looking for ways to live a self-sufficient lifestyle with a particular emphasis on a healthy and energy efficient home. When we began learning about sustainable building, straw bale homes caught our attention. What appealed to us was the organic, warm look and feel about them. To learn more about this building material we signed up for a 5 day straw bale construction course in November 2011. We plan to build our own straw bale house sometime in the next 2 years, so the more knowledge and experience we have the easier the build should be. The working bee was 10km North of Dungog NSW. Day 1 It was a long drive from Brisbane; however an experience like this gives you the confidence that no theory can. What I found most enjoyable about the working bee were the people I worked with. Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Conclusion

How to create a fiber optic starfield ceiling Hi everyone, This is a quick instruction guide on creating a fiber-optic starfield ceiling. The stars have a very natural twinkle & glow. This is my very first instructable, so I hope everything comes out well. My wife and I are expecting our very first baby in about 4 weeks. I've seen instructables and "how-tos" on creating high-contrast mobiles and decorations, but the 'blinking lights' part escaped me. I made a small video to summarize most of the starfield features. The effect is much prettier in person and it's a very simple process. French Apartment in Moroccan Style ♥ Френски апартамент в марокански стил | 79 Ideas - a blog about decoration, design, decor, fashion, food and other pretty things Two apartments combined into one made it possible for the owner of this home to bring Morocco and the influence of Mediterranean Africa in a small town near Paris. From the entrance you can feel the blue mood, which goes from one room to another. Parallel with it you can feel the femininity and exoticness in the details - gorgeous wooden furniture, impressive textile and amazing decoration. I just love the arrangements with hands of Fatima on the wall. It is popular amulet throughout the Middle East and North Africa and represents a protection against people with bad intentions and ill-wishers. Два апартамента, комбинирани в едно дават възможност на собственичката на този дом да пренесе Мароко във френско градче близо до Париж. Аз специално особено харесвам аранжимента с ръката на Фатима - това е много популярен амулет в Средния Изток и Северна Африка, който се използва за предпазване от лоши очи и недоброжелатели.

Emergent Patterns: Game Wallpapers Beat Dull Wall Decor Repeating patterns are at the heart of most wallpapers, as they are part of the core of many simple, old-school, paper-and-pen games. While elementary in design (and execution), these basic black-and-white wallpaper designs feature an element of creative, unique and ultimately unpredictable emergent design that makes them grow more complex with tiime. The first layer – the original printed design – is as simple as it gets: a series of mazes, tic-tac-toe boards and crossword puzzles that naturally lend themselves to virtually infinite extension in any direction. Created by CinqCinq, these have been placed as the backdrops of art installations and waiting room interiors- perfect places to encourage spontaneous interaction. By setting out specific colors of pencil, pen, crayon or marker, the designer (or space owner) gets to exert another level of control but ultimately leaves the finished product in the hands of people who pass through a given space.
‘Hook Wall’ System: Multi-Use, Wall-Mounted Metal Storage Inspired by a combination of rhythmic regularity of computer punch cards and decorative whimsy of musical note scores, this modular system of wall hooks is designed to be more than just a minimalist storage surface – it is also an idea for animated a home or office wall in a new and interesting way. Known for taking anything from large-scale contemporary architecture to small-space modern interior/furniture design and then adding his own unique twists, Jean Nouvel made this custom corrugated metal ‘wallpaper’ to perform a number of basic functional tasks: supporting works of art, filing cabinets, decorative shelves and so forth in a home or office setting.
Reader requests - bathrooms with colour This request comes from Becky: "I need some help revamping my bathroom. Right now its a soft gray and I'm kind of tired of it, kind of blah. So I'm wondering if you have any inspiration for color in a bathroom? My bathroom is a medium size with a claw foot tub and white subway tile in the shower, dark stained vanity with Carrera Marble top, so a bit old fashioned however I am a lover of vintage modern so if you have any bathrooms that might meld the 2 styles I would be eternally grateful!" Now I have quite a few bathroom photos stashed away but to find some that were colourful, with traditional and vintage modern styles mized together etc etc was not bloody likely.
