Stained glass makes a wonderful addition to home décor. Even a little stained glass goes a long ways. Stained glass is often used in entryways, skylights, doors, cabinet doors, kitchens and baths.

Porches, Arbors and Trellises
Pinterest does it again. This site never ceases to amaze. Pinterest is so good that I have to be careful not to spend too much time there or other things won’t get done. They seem to have endless high quality images of every imaginable topic, although as mentioned previously there’s no convenient way to search their site, so I use my favorite search engine.
New Cob House Interior Design
“Our work on updating the interior of our cob house, Gobcobatron is finally complete! I think this latest design might be my favorite so far… although of course it’s so exciting just because it is “new”, too. We changed things around to make it an even more appropriate and better place to stay for renters and people who come stay for weekends.”
Tiled Windowsills
Previous blog posts have covered accent/decorative tile, saltillo tile and terracotta tile floors. Countertops, floors and bathrooms immediately come to mind when thinking of tile. Don’t overlook tiled windowsills. Besides being practical and cost effective, tiled windowsills are very durable. Tile can easily last decades if the grout is properly applied and maintained. Moisture tends to build up around windows from condensation, and so tile is a natural choice for this area, especially if you have potted plants. In addition, tile adds a nice splash of color and helps break up monotonous areas. Another plus is windowsills are usually small and do not require much tile or great skill to get good results. Free online tile instructions and/or a library book are all you really need. Tile cutters can be rented by the day.
Accent Tile
It’s easy to liven up your home with colorful accent tiles.
Bamboo Interior Design
Bamboo is one of the most sustainable building materials on the planet, and so I’d like to post a few pics of nice bamboo interiors and bamboo furniture. Bamboo is rapidly renewable, captures carbon, filters and oxygenates the air, reduces flooding and provides habitat for wildlife. Bamboo is used in thousands of useful products from furniture to cutlery to houses. There’s endless variety to choose from. These are just a few examples I found from searching the Internet.
