Tastefully in Wood

Hua Hin, the fastest growing city in Thailand.  The reasons are many.  Its proximity to Bangkok, just a couple of hours away by car, makes it very easy to get too.  In honor of the 60^th anniversary of his majesty the King’s ascension to the throne, Hua Hin is being transformed into his “Paradise City”, with many beautification projects planned, competed or well under way.  Also, the King’s decision to make family friendly Hua Hin his primary residence has resulted in a true sense of safety and security unrivaled by any of the major resort areas in Thailand.

The benefit of this area’s growth is the development of many fine properties offering world class views, services and amenities.  A fine example is a beautiful condominium complex located just a few kilometers south of the city center offering stunning sea and mountain views.  This meticulously managed property boasts two swimming pools, a fitness facility and concierge service.  Just steps away you will find an elephant park, a fishing village and a long white sandy beach with delicious beach front restaurants.  These fine residences are a perfect holiday home offering peace, tranquility and security, a haven from the hustle and bustle of urban living.

  Decorating with Rugs

Decorating with rugs is one of the easiest ways to update, revitalize and beautify your home. Rugs can add dramatic color and design to every room; create a focal point or define areas; add warmth to the look and feel of tiles, stone, or concrete; protect hardwood floors or wall-to-wall carpeting; and tie elements of a room together. You can change rugs when the seasons change and take them with you if you move. It is not surprising that home rugs are of great interest to the do-it-yourself decorator.

If a rug is to be the focal point of a room, consider purchasing one with a central medallion, which is a popular design for an oriental rug. If the medallion will be hidden for the most part by a piece of furniture – the dining room table or a bed, for example – forget the medallion and select a rug that has an allover design, or one with detail on its borders.
