My most recent trip to Bangkok was a chilled out, very relaxed sort of trip as we’ve seen all the tourist attractions and famous landmarks during the trip prior to this one. My next few blog posts will probably detail some home-related stories from this trip.
Instead of shopping for clothes, I was more on the [...]
Always wanted one of those hideaway beds for your home? BedUp is an extremely refreshing concept in which instead of the traditional side panel foldaway beds, it has taken hideaway beds to a new concept- by concealing the bed up in the ceiling.
When stowed away, BedUp is raised to the top of the ceiling. What’s [...]

Now this has to be one of the coolest ideas ever… another one of those ‘why didn’t I think of it’ designs - a storage solution which utilises the underside of your stairs! I stumbled upon this on Unclutterer - a brilliant website which is totally anal about staying organised.
