There are numerous musical applications to this mod. Whereas a volume knob takes more time and effort to turn down, the switch produces a complete and immediate cut, so you can use it for interesting effects in your playing. For example, Eddie Van Halen employed this approach on the end of the solo on "You Really Got Me" on the band's first album (around 1:50 into the track).
Note that in this case, rather than using a true "kill" switch as is described on this page, he toggled his regular 3-way pickup selector between the bridge pickup and the absent neck position. He routinely took out his neck pickup (or at least didn't bother to wire it up; see the Frankenstrat, for example), but you can accomplish the same sound by simply turning the volume on the neck pickup all the way down provided it has a separate control (e.g., as on a Les Paul).
The current master of the kill switch is the guitarist Buckethead, who employs one extensively and inventively in his (often) avant garde playing. For example, chopping up a droning distorted chord by inserting breaks via the kill switch can make it sound as though the guitar is being strummed, something that otherwise wouldn't really be possible without the kill switch.
|Pop goes the input
Cutting the signal almost always results in a popping sound on a clean, non-distorted tone. The reason is that the wave is cut from whatever amplitude it has (see the white arrow in the picture). However, if you are distorting the signal, it will clip it anyway, so this won't be nearly as noticeable. There's nothing wrong with the wiring; it's just the physics of the situation. This mod sounds best with a heavy, overdriven signal anyway, so it works just fine for most players.
Buckethead uses a momentary switch to accomplish the same thing as you might with a toggle, only the effect lasts for only as long as you press the switch. This has the advantage of allowing you to alternate between "off" and "on" even faster than via a typical "throw" type toggle switch.
There are two different types of momentary switches out there, so you need to know which you have in order to wire the mod correctly. If you don't, then the signal will be cut when you aren't touching the switch and will only pass when you press it. That would make for an awkward playing style for most pieces.
The nomenclature for these switches is as follows.N.O. contacts = Normally Open contacts = The circuit is open (i.e., "Off") when the button isn't touched. When you touch it, you make a connection between the two contacts.(Thanks to KS for pointing out the terminology.)
N.C. contacts = Normally Closed contacts = The circuit is closed (i.e., "On") when the button isn't touched. When you touch it, you break the signal.
This is modification is so simple to accomplish that I didn't even bother to draw a diagram for this page, but site reader KS sent two of the following images, then I altered his design to give another option.
This is how your output jack probably looks. Just two wires to two lugs. (If you have a preamp or active pickups, then there's maybe a third. Concentrate on the ones not connected to the battery, obviously.)
Using an N.O. switch
One approach is to use the switch to short the circuit, creating a loop from input to output that bypasses everything in the guitar.
Using an N.C. switch
With this switch you create a break in the line.
Note: I had a report from site reader Max that this version just results in a hum rather than silence when pressed. If that's the case, break the "hot" (or "power") wire instead.
Ideally, the best place to insert the switch into the circuit is just before the output jack. Some other places will certainly work just as well, but this is the safest approach so you don't end up cutting, say, your neck pickup but leaving the bridge pickup connected. That might be interesting in some ways, but then you wouldn't have the freedom to cut the signal in all positions.
However, if you have some difficulty wiring it to the jack for reasons of space (i.e., too many wires in too confined an area), then an alternative possibility is to go from the volume knob lug (either going into or out of the pot) to the ground using a momentary N.O. switch. It's an equivalent circuit, just different arrangement physically.
Like I said above, electronically there is no difference between a kill switch and a standby switch. They both cut the signal. However, the terms grew out of the fact that a standby switch is more like the "standby" switch on some tube amps. In other words, it's something to cut the signal while the rest of your gear is turned on, warmed-up and waiting. By contrast, the kill switch is a momentary interruption of the signal for more immediate musical purposes. Don't worry about the semantics; only the music matters in the end. Think about how you'll use a mod, then implement what you want as you need it.

Compare Indoor Rowers
How to choose an indoor rowing machine and why Fluid Innovation matters.
It can be difficult to compare types of indoor rowers on the market when you don't know what the features and benefits are. Each indoor rowing brand and technology used varies considerably in terms of quality, level of resistance, stroke profile and closeness to real on-water rowing simulation.
Common types of indoor rowing innovation include air, electromagnetic or water resistance technology. Your exercise goals, budget and the level of importance you place on performance, will impact your selection preference and enjoyment level.
In the following table, we compare First Degree Fitness' Fluid Innovation to the other two most commonly purchased indoor rowing resistance options with respect to the system design and innovation used to simulate the experience of real on-water rowing.
|FDF Fluid Rower
|Other Water Rowers
|Air Rowers
|System Design
|Patented twin tank with triple bladed stainless steel impeller to create variable water resistance rowing.
|Single tank with two blade plastic impeller.
|Chain driven internal flywheel fan with airflow interaction.
Tank Performance
|Internal baffles maintain resistance while providing a realistic on water rowing feel and sound.
|Smooth walled internal tank allows water to accelerate as it free flows without respect to length and rate of stroke.
|Air rushes noisily through the fan blades as the metal chain is driven with each stroke.
|Tank Engineering
|Two-part tank joined by durable tank seal and screw fixings.
|Two-part tank glued together.
|There are many inexpensive imitations. As dust gets sucked into the machine's vents, the performance characteristics change.
|Level can be changed at the turn of a dial for multi-user interval training.
|Water must be manually added or removed to change level.
|Very little ability to change resistance ±10% at any given stroke rate.
|Stroke Profile
|Constant catch on initial pull with tank baffles holding the resistance during second half of the stroke to produce a more realistic on-water rowing feel throughout entirety of action.
|Resistance typically peaks at around 35% of the stroke pull and falls away as water freely accelerates within the tank. Resistance does not increase proportionately with speed of the pull-through.
|Resistance lag at beginning of stroke followed by a rapid increase to peak resistance, which then rapidly falls away before the end of stroke. Not conducive to good stroke technique.
|Force Curve
|As stroke profile is more robust, more work can be comfortably achieved per stroke. Alternatively, resistance can be reduced or increased at a turn of the resistance dial.
|Limited ability to increase power by "pulling harder and faster" but effectively restricted as water free-flows in tank reducing actual workout intensity from perceived effort.
|Inconsistent stroke pull can create a high perception of 'work', but less effective stroke power output.
|Performance Monitor
|Computer can be set to allow for different water levels and resulting resistance changes to calculate new outputs.
|Computer does not adjust to different water level so workout becomes unmeasurable other than at one set water level.
|Extensive computer, but display seems to ignore registering considerable resistance lag at beginning of every stroke pull.

As humans, we like to be right.
Yes, that is right. The other person has moved on and more than likely have stopped even thinking about the event as they have justified to themselves that they did the right thing. You on the other hand are constantly talking and thinking about the event, continually creating ill feelings in your body, which may in turn create sickness and disease in your body.
The purpose of our life is to live in ease.
The more we create a life of ease the more we manifest a prosperous and joyous life. Our language once again, tells us how to live. When we are not in EASE we are in DIS-EASE and that is what our body attracts.
The quickest way to live in ease is to forgive any perceived wrong doings that have happened in your life. Yes, forgive the perpetrator. Even if you feel this is impossible, do it for yourself. By constantly bringing it up and not forgiving, the wrong doing is being done repeatedly to you and every single cell in your body is being affected.
Sometimes in life we have our heart set on something and it never eventuates.
In this situation, there was not a perpetrator for us to blame, it is just something we really want though for some reason, it is not happening for example, wanting a baby and not being able to conceive. In this situation, the person to forgive is yourself and /or your partner. Then start looking at your life and you will see that you have exactly what you have wanted it's just in another form. Be it to a god child, niece, and nephew or maybe at work you are helping your co-workers or employees giving them the guidance they require to fulfill all their dreams and desires.
Yes, forgiveness is as much about us forgiving ourselves as it is about others. We may have, in hindsight, foolishly trusted when we should have been wary, that does not mean that we should never trust again, learn the lesson and live a life of love and joy instead of anger, fear and regret.
Are you ready to stop the blame game and come into love and forgiveness?

Video: BMW i8 Electric Supercar Caught Out In The Open
As a car company, BMW is an unlikely champion of green cars. But between the electric Mini E, its clean turbodiesel engines, heat-recapturing technology, and a sub-brand of plug-in hybrid vehicles like the i3 and i8, BMW is really looking like a leader in clean performance technology.
On the subject of the BMW i8, a green supercar that the German company has pledged to build, we have this video showing an i8 test mule out driving. While the looks appear to have been toned down, the scissor doors have not. What is it with electricfied cars and funky doors?
I don't know, but BMW is stepping up to the plate much the same way Porsche has. I have high hopes for the i8, which has matured from a fanciful concept named the Concept Vision Efficient Dynamics to the car in this video. The plug-in hybrid i8 will supposedly deliver up to 22 miles of all-electric driving, after which the 1.5-liter turbocharged 3-cylinder generator will give drivers up to 80 mpg, in a sharp-looking performance package.
How well it performs is anybody's guess… but after watching this spy video I've got to say that I am more interested now than I was before, and it is apparent that BMW really is moving forward with these efficient hybrid cars, whilst maintaining both its luxury and performance heritage.
So maybe that's the point of the scissor doors, to make EV's look cool? Well I hate to say this but… it might be working, 'cause the BMW i8 looks hella cool, especially in the snow.

CAMPAIGNERS have reacted with fury after losing their battle to maintain services through Hockley.
Bus company Arriva has announced its proposed cuts for the No7 and No8 buses have been agreed and will be going ahead from February 9.
It means just two buses an hour will run between Rochford and Southend – one No7 via Ashingdon and one No8 via Hawkwell.
Brian Guyett, chairman of Hockley Residents' Association, who fought the changes, said in a letter to Arriva: "For the vast majority of Hockley and Hawkwell, there will be only one service an hour. Your comments are simply 'spin' and the reality is something like 20,000 people will have minimal access to Southend Hospital.
"Arriva has ignored suggestions put forward by residents to find a compromise and this gives the impression the whole consultation exercise has been a window dressing whitewash."
More than 100 residents packed into a meeting with Arriva to express their concerns earlier this month.
Malcolm Spalding, commercial manager for Arriva, said the company recognised there had been tensions between ensuring the commercial viability of services and meeting the aspirations of residents.
Mr Spalding said: "While the principle of an hourly service on both the No7 and No8 routes between Rayleigh, Hockley and Southend remains, we will be providing some additional journeys in both the morning and evening peak periods and in the period immediately after 9am on weekdays.
"We will, of course, monitor the services closely when it changes and if customers experience any difficulties with the operation of the service I would encourage them to contact our customer services team."

This video has been influenced by Albert Camus and his essay L'Été (1954). It is a response based on the replication of his words. As such, Variations is an echo of his point of view about how useless is the human effort, and how limited is the vision of the mankind. Which constructs structures and develops infrastructures that are prone to fall down – to become ruins.
HDV, 16:9, colour, sound, 2' 24".
"These stones, torn from the mountain, serve man in his plans. (…) Of course, destroying stone is not possible. It is merely moved from one place to another. In any case, it will last longer than the men who use it. For the moment, it satisfies their will to action. That in itself is probably useless. But moving things about is the work of men; one must choose doing that or nothing." Albert Camus (L'Été)

Tonye Cole Renewable Energy Top Tips For Making Sunlight Meet Your Needs Exactly
Are you presently looking into shifting to solar energy? Changing to this very sort of energy levels is a bit more advantageous in the typical styles of electrical power. This short article can provide you with solar power information.
Two classes of solar power systems are obtainable. Poly-crystalline are less costly but less reliable Tonye Cole when compared with mono-crystalline. Get the right structure you can afford.
How dense a board is decides its functionality. When you purchase solar panels along with a great occurrence, even though these solar panels are usually more pricey, it is possible to produce a lot more electrical power. Consider the occurrence of numerous individual panels in advance of deciding on one particular.
You could start out compact using minimal-scale solar energy programs. You can do this two techniques. The 1st way is to find solar panel products which you can revitalise very small electronic products like handsets and tablet computers and remotes. The 2nd is to search for solar power machines focused towards hikers, that include lanterns and stoves. Every single minor bit can help you cheaper the fees!
You ought to work out how you may retail outlet power as soon as you grab it created by the solar power method you're implementing. You may want to receive a battery power that merchants the energy or market it for the electronic agency.
Know about allows and incentives available. The price to receive a power from the sun method up and running are generally overwhelming, on the other hand you can often locate aid. Shop around and you could look for amazing products that give Tonye Cole discounts, gives or another rewards to provide you the solar technology machines to acquire setup. This reduces the rates drastically. Examples of the obligations may very well be insurance deductible on the property taxes.
Make certain you verify the inverter if you are able to put in solar panel systems. A solid environment friendly light-weight is what you are looking to discover. Erratic blinking or no light might possibly alert a fail to function properly. When you find out about solar power systems, but it is recommended to call up an experienced, you are likely to come to be ready to discover minimal issues your own self. A house get in touch with originating from a services expert ought not run you anything but if your individual panels possess a guarantee of 25 years.
Using solar power panels or adding a solar power hot water heater, you can greatly reduce the quantity you invest in electricity. These particular individual panels perform best in sections with no less than your five continual numerous hours of sun light. For those who have a pool that is warmed up, pv waters heating systems can decrease your invoice.
Co2 based mostly pollution are going to be enormously lower when motors which might be powered through the direct sun light get accessible. We already have many stand-alone products and systems that leave superb utilisation of the energy in the sun. Solar energy operated generators, as an example, are accessible. These are an appropriate resolution in the eventuality of an electrical power outage.
It is advisable to investigate solar panel technology for doing it if your main new home is going to be produced. Power from the sun is an effective way to electricity a establishing considering that it doesn't have that a lot of an effect on the surroundings. This can be the ideally suited time to carry out additional research on solar panel technology.
You don't ought to be around the grid if you are using solar powered energy. Solar power can allow all your family members or online business to turn into individual of electric powered enterprise and increasing power bills. This means you can look forward to will no longer electric bills.

Tonye Cole Solar Energy - An Alternate Power Source Which Has Been All over For Quite A While
A different Tonye Cole source of energy which has been available for quite a while. It is among our most plentifully form of strength but still incredibly not being employed utilised. Solar energy is produced by direct sunlight. Direct Sunlight is essential for existences of the experiencing issues on our planet. The power within the Sun is definitely an continuous research project by scientists due to the several possibilities works by using.
With the price tag on our fuels and utilities frequently increasing we are seeking a much more affordable way for you to accomplish our vitality must have. Use of power from the sun will help reduce the need of a number of our non-renewable fuels. This is a considerably more less risky mode of vitality than exploration for coal or drilling for essential oil who have expense the unwanted decrease in day-to-day lives. Solar panel technology is found in two types. Photovoltaic graphic voltaic stamina sections turns the Sun's rays to functional electric power. Pv energy electricity individual panels pull together the Suns high temperature.
There has been significant questions over the utilization of energy sources Tonye Cole as well as result on our plant. Choosing a cleanser supply of stamina is impertinent for our tactical. Questions throughout the greenhouse results additionally, the loss being done to our own planets ozone layer. These improvements have took place by our dependency for the use non-renewable fuels. Solar energy is usually a wash reusable kind of potential.
Now we have come a long way seeing that solar power was initially used. By the use of solar collector sections many important organization go green. Solar collector sections are popular throughout the world. The energy savings would be astronomical if all new homes built had solar collector panels. They now are available in many different dimensions and could be used to function everything that will take some sort of electrical present-day.
Photo voltaic photo voltaic power may be used for electric power which is often retained by battery finance institutions or grid inter-fasten. Battery power like all those designed to retail store power in order to operate a car till the solar cells inside the battery power end. Photovoltaic mobile electric batteries can be used in different solutions from timepieces to out home nighttime light bulbs. A big use with the photo voltaic cell batteries have been in hybrid cars.
A most widely chosen approach is the grid inter-tie. The place your solar technology is strapped right into your home or business strength grid. Throughout this method on weeks whenever you are not having to get the utilization of electricity it is really becoming fed into the energy grid including your meter will jog backward. Solar energy Tonye Cole Energy energy levels is saved by using a energy size, water tanks or rock and roll receptacles that maintain hot environment. Than while you do require it you design it lower back out should the Sunlight is just not providing you with solar power. Some might want to use a variety of equally methods of keeping their solar powered energy for electrical energy.
Photovoltaic energy energy levels individual panels collects the Suns warm up in either water as well as contra --freeze blend. Solar thermal strength can be used for room or space heating and water home heating. These techniques are accustomed to heat your home or office together with the water. Photovoltaic energy energy levels panel enthusiasts have a few grade makes use of.

Should you want to know something about military operations near the Persian Gulf, the Dupuys will take you from the reign of Lugalzaggisi of Erech (died 2325 BC), down to the current war between Iraq and Iran.
Their "series of chronologically and geographically organized narratives" makes a handy reference work, but it's a trifle old-fashioned. Topics on which much writing has been done in recent years--the economic foundations of war, battle as an experience of common soldiers, the effect of war on civilian society--get left out.
Some assertions are questionable. It isn't the case, for instance, that at Trafalgar Adm. Horatio Nelson "destroyed French naval power." The French had plenty of ships left after that battle, and the British continued to fear them.
Every encyclopedia offers a point of view along with the facts. This one tilts to the right. Arms control, for example, comes under the heading "Disarmament," even though many arms-control advocates have no wish to disarm. And under the Sandinistas, the book says, Nicaragua "became an important conduit in the flow of Soviet arms and munitions from Cuba to the various Central American countries, and particularly El Salvador." Not a claim the Reagan Administration would object to, certainly, but other observers have.

In his annual "State of the Judiciary" speech, New York's chief judge Jonathan Lippman covered a wide range of topics, from juvenile justice to mortgage foreclosures to cameras in the courtroom. But one topic in particular caught our attention: bail.
As we wrote in our cover story last spring, bail in New York is an incredibly discriminatory and unjust institution that puts thousands of innocent people in jail each year for no other reason than that they are too poor to make bail. For many more New Yorkers, prosecutors' threat of bail forces them to plead guilty to charges that they would otherwise fight and beat. In short, Bail is Busted.
Refreshingly, Lippman said the same thing in his speech today, though his phrasing was slightly more diplomatic: "We still have a long way to go before we can claim that we have established a coherent, rational approach to pre-trial justice."
"Our overriding goal must be to ensure that pre-trial detention is reserved only for those defendants who cannot safely be released or who cannot be relied upon to return to court — and to do all we can to eliminate the risk that New Yorkers are incarcerated simply because they lack the financial means to make bail. More than simply being unfair, incarcerating indigent defendants for no other reason than that they cannot meet even a minimum bail amount strips our justice system of its credibility and distorts its operation. Jailing defendants before trial can subject them to economic and psychological hardship, limit their ability to assist in their defense and place them at a serious disadvantage in the plea bargaining process."
To achieve this goal, Lippman recommends expanding supervised release programs like the one currently being tested by the New York Criminal Justice Agency in Queens. He also takes a swipe at the bail bond industry, noting that bail bondsmen for the most part won't even work with people held on low bails because they can't make enough money from them. Lippman contemplates what it would take to remove the profit motive entirely from the process of getting people out of jail, and name-checks the Bronx Freedom Fund, an experimental nonprofit that sprung hundreds of people from jail before a judge forced it to shut down. (As we wrote in our follow-up story, the Bronx Defenders, who ran the fund, had the last laugh, successfully pushing through legislation last summer that makes it much easier to legally run a non-profit bail fund.)
Here's the complete text of Lippman's speech:

Part of FringeNYC: When the Greek goddesses throw a bachelorette party and crash a legendary strip club run by American folk heroes like Pecos Bill and Johnny Appleseed, all Hades breaks loose. Myth, sex, romance and culture clash in this outrageous cosmic comedy. More…
Categories: Comedy, Drama, National. From Epic Theatre Company. Written by Kevin Broccoli. Directed by Kevin Broccoli. Choreographed by Kevin Broccoli.
"The problem with 'American Strippers' is that, even with its long run time, it doesn't do enough with this concept, and it's unclear which point Broccoli is trying to make about this country, if any...It's in the monologues that Broccoli always seems on the cusp of something...The strip numbers are fun, though at times the actors aren't completely in sync. And it is refreshing to see so many sexually fluid characters." Full Review
"Broccoli seems determined to justify a ridiculous premise with intellectual heft. As a result, he creates an overwhelmingly complex set of rules and conditions, rooted to varying degrees in myth, that precipitate one plot twist after another...He manages so many diverse points of view surprisingly well, but it's a structure that begs to be simplified...In an attempt to avoid cheap laughs, we instead end up in a world of contrivances and melodrama." Full Review
See it if you're curious about the current (and future) lives of characters of Greek myths and American folklore & enjoy clever writing, often poetic.

Water pipes, or bongs, have now become quite widespread as great smoking devices, presenting them as alternatives to conventional cigarettes and offering a better, more varied smoking experience. They were quite unpopular until recently when more and more people's curiosity was piqued by the rather unusual way these smoking device work. The internet and technological advancements have only accelerated the spread of bongs to an extent that they have become a worldwide hit.Now you might be wondering where these devices first originated. First of all, it is not wrong to say that hookah pipes have quite a long history behind them, being first used several centuries ago some parts of Asia. Their exact origin is still debated, with many countries, including India, Iran, Egypt, Syria and many other Asian countries claiming to be the first to introduce hookah pipes to the world. The most likely explanation for the origin of the hookah is to assume that several countries made some pipes with similar working conditions and properties, with their designs finally blending into one accepted standard through the trading and exchanging of technologies. Even nowadays, Asia is the region which manufactures most of the hookah pipes used throughout the world.
The first and most primitive hookah bong design is one that uses a coconut shell as the base of the hookah with a pipe attached to it for smoking. Materials used to produce the smoke itself are usually believed to be opium or hashish, although it is quite likely that some other herbal products could have used in their place.With the passing of time, the hookah pipe evolved into something different. This evolution can be noticed very well when we consider about the Turkish and Persian varieties of the hookah, which are known as Nargile. These finally made use of tobacco as the standard smoking material, with fruity flavours being added to give a better smoking experience to the user. The main talking point of the Nargile, though, is how well-received it was by the community. The smoking device itself was considered as a symbol of wealth, with most upper-class men and women having at least one device in their homes that they used on a frequent basis.
The other thing of note about the Nargile is how Turkish craftsmen found a way to use the water bong as a way to display their artistic creations: this is the period that started the trend of decorating and customising hookah pipes to please one's appreciation of aesthetic beauty.The bongs we use nowadays are still based on these Arabian designs. The only major change is the fact that people have finally started using modern technologies to make better smoking products and a glass interface to improve a hookah's durability and the smoking experience it can deliver to the user.

It is a great way to discover and try cult brands, up-and-coming lines, and everything in between...Then once you've found your favorites, you can purchase them in the birchbox shop.
The collaboration between Habitat and Birchbox takes the theme "Do Try this at home" and is a celebration of the makeover: Whether it's with your beauty regime or your at-home furnishings and decoration.
"March is the time for renewal, renovation and refreshment across the board"
(Extract from the H/BB press release)
So as we all sat down at the beautifully dressed table (Of course, I did not expect it to be less than amazing), we were given a short presentation as to what form this collaboration would take!
There was a great atmosphere as the beauty and interior worlds collided, and as the interior bloggers gasped at the thought of putting lipstick on the eyelids! (Apparently it doesn't crease, like ever!!), the beauty bloggers were happy to hear that Habitat wants to re-introduce the dressing table into our interiors in their new SS15 collection!
I adore Habitat, as I feel that they are one of the few UK interior retailers that taps into that Scandinavian ,Mid century modern sensibility, that I love, when it comes to their furniture design!
But also because they, after 50 years of making their affordable outstanding designs accessible to all , have stayed true to their revolutionary, in house design ethos.
And with Habitat announcing their new SS15 collection of dressing tables and beauty storage, their new partnering with Birchbox makes sense:
"We wanted to show fans of Birchbox that as well as feeling good through a fresh new beauty regime, re-imaging your interiors with great design can also create a sense of rejuvenation"
Holly-Anne Rolfe, Design Manager for Habitat
The presentation of the collaboration on the night , cleverly introduced 3 different make up looks from birchbox, paired with a habitat dressing table "to match the personality" of the girl:
Birchbox's peachy and romantic look was paired with this elegant, new design classic: The Emil natural birch wood dressingtable:
I loved the simple lines and the blonde wood of this one, and with it's huge round mirror it was pretty much everyone's favorite on the night!
The more affordable Limbo oak dressing table and stool was also a huge success with everyone:
With it's big mirror and pale oak finish, paired with it's compact design makes it ideal for small space living, perfect for a London girl. The Birchbox make up look, a strong, modern smokey eye look reflected this perfectly!
Lastly, and paired with the most populal make up look of the evening:The marsala (Pantone colour of the year), was the Fleur dressing table:
On the night , I was not too enamored with this dressing table, as I got caught up in the twee-ness of the ceramic drawer pulls, but on reflection, I actually love the mid-century-modern nod in the clean lines of this design....I would just change out those knobs...but, hey: That's just me and my taste!!
It was a great evening with great food and conversation!
And there is something very exciting about being in a shop after closing time....I felt a bit like I was in toy story....only that I was surrounded by fabulous furniture and design instead of toys! LOL! It was a real pleasure to attend, and to get to meet some fellow bloggers and the fantastic people at Habitat!
And I am getting very excited to see what more these sort of unusual collaborations for habitat is going to bring!
Of course we were lucky enough to take home a huge mystery goodie bag:
Which contained the latest birchbox with a nice variety of products:
As well as this gorgeous Grey lacquered habitat Maisie storage box to keep all our beauty bits and jewelry in:
I love it, and it fits perfectly in my bedroom on top of my chest of drawers!
This sleek, functional and modern design with the pops of neon is typical of the home accessories, juxtaposed with the 70's feel ceramics available in the new SS15 collection at Habitat....perfect for creating that Eclectic look I've been harping on about in my last few posts (here and here)!
Make sure you check out Habitats new collection....it really is worth a look!
