Does your toast smile at you in the morning or is it a grumpy old man? Quirky as it may sound, I think small nuances (or gimmicks) like this can really make a difference in your day. Bring out your shiny smile for the Smile Cooking Toaster! Think hair straightening iron for a moment, similar to that clasp design is this appliance. Difference lies in the electric-heating nano-membrane and different smiley faces you can use to singe on the bread. The transparent style really adds to the elegance and the timer display (with heating controls) makes sure you don’t ever burn your toasts! Smile your morning blues away.

In his incessant search for inspiring design ideas, Michael gathered a collection of 21 fabulous pools in order to boost our reader’s spirits. You can take them as beautiful ideas and you can appreciate their shape and style. But what we would like you to do is keep the designs in mind and consider these pictures as inspiring concepts for your future pool, whether its construction will occur in two weeks or ten years. They are all outdoor pools, some integrated in the house construction, others in the perimeter of the domain, close to the actual building. The ones that are located near the sea are particularly spectacular. We also like the wooden decks and the gazebos. Hope you will enjoy this display of elegance and design eccentricity and if you have any pool ideas you would like to share with us, don’t hesitate!

From Agraz Architectures this amazing looking residence was built in collaboration with many artists, leaving nothing to chance. The house belongs to family Espinosa Viramontes, who wanted a place that would fit well in the neighborhood and also take on the challenges of the complicated terrain. We think the team did a great job at covering the owner’s demands and below you have the fantastic results. The construction not only has an impressive and unusual exterior, built in a triangular shape and looking very dynamic, but the interior stands out as well. A spiral staircase is the centerpiece of the home and connects the levels. Glass and wood are present all around, creating a homey feel. The furniture is minimalist and also features wooden themes. We appreciate the overall simplicity and elegance. Now- what do you like about this place?

Abril is the latest collection of furniture from MOBILFRESNO, expected to be launched this April. The elegant set brings together dining chairs, bed frames, interesting wardrobes and great looking night-stands. The designers like to say they are “suffused with the self-same light of the serenity and elegance of April”. Leaving poetry aside and looking at these interior from a practical point of view, we can not help but noticing a harmonious combination between classic and contemporary. The items go great in combination but can also be purchased individually and be integrated in any  similar classic-modern environment.  Elegant and refined, some of the products (such as the desks) could also be used as office furniture. The unusual shapes contribute to the collection’s originality. Feeling inspired? -via 3rings

When looking at modern houses lately, I couldn’t help but notice curtains are no longer a point of interest. Their place was taken by the contemporary blinds, which are a lot easier to take care of and manage. However, you have to agree with us on the fact that curtains give a special feel to a room and in those homes they do exist, they bring wonders in matters of overall interior design. they have the ability of completely changing the way a room looks and also bring elegance to any space. To us, they still remain a great decorative item and a pretty convenient one as well. We put up together a few such examples. We hope you will let yourself be inspired and remember the old days when curtain ruled the world of indoor arrangements.
