The Weird And Wonderful World Of Wallpaper
Submitted as: pangsiyan
In his latest book, At Home: A Short History of Private Life, Bill Bryson takes his reader on a tour of private life through the ages, revealing as he does that, historically, our home life has been at best unimaginably uncomfortable, and at worst a death-trap.

Submitted as: pangsiyan
Since the recession struck a year and a half ago, designs with a "humourous" edge are on the rise with irony, wit and lashings of absurdity cropping up all over the interiors sector.
But, while not many people would argue with a reason to smile, sometimes, one has to question whether humour in the home décor should ever stray further than a novelty cushion, a silly apron or, better yet, be eternally relegated to the downstairs loo.(read
