Designer Amy Youngs has created a table concept that I think is extremely bold and may not be appetizing to everyone: a composting table.

A composting bag is placed in the center of the table and when you’re done eating, you simply discard the scraps into the center of the table.

A living ecosystem of worms, sowbugs and bacteria are invited to this table. They are a part of the digestive system that starts with a person discarding food leftovers and shredded paper into the portal at the top.

The bacteria and sowbugs begin breaking down the waste and the worms soon join in to further digest it into a rich compost that sprinkles out of the bottom of the fabric bag that hangs beneath the table. This compost is used as a fertilizer for plants, such as those at the base of the table.

The human plays an important part at the table by eating, feeding the food waste to the worms, feeding the resulting fertilizer to the plants, or by simply sitting and appreciating the living ecosystem she/he is a part of.

A cross-section of the activity inside the top 9 inches of the compost is made visible using an infrared security camera connected to an LCD screen built into the table. On the screen, viewers can see the live movements of the worms and sowbugs inside.

The times maybe tough but it doesn’t mean you have to live shabbily! Here are a few inexpensive ways to decorate your home and beat the recession! 1. Change Things around by Aswin Widya Here is the thing. Sometimes, we already have everything that we need. It is just that they are not in the right place and we tend to get used to an item at a particular place and forget to try something new. So move things around! It might be helpful to first make the changes on paper and then see if they fit or look good.

2. Spruce up the walls with black and white photos by Lachlan Hardy Don’t go for expensive posters. Hang black and white prints of your old photos or use some of your own self created artwork on your walls to make them look artistic, relaxing and unique. 3. Old Sofa? Not Anymore Just because your sofa doesn’t cut it anymore in terms of looks doesn’t mean you put it up on your next garage sale. It’s surprising what a slipcover can do. They are inexpensive, avaliable nearly anywhere and here’s the best part: they can be removed and washed. 4. Bring in the plants, people

We know your computer is more than a tool. It’s a constant companion, a friend. A gateway to the great heights of “risqu?.” The hub to your very life and existence. But we think it should be more. It should be snuggled close to you as you sleep and clutched tightly in your clammy hands during that especially gruesome scene in The Ring. And, since polycarbonate and aluminum hardly lend themselves to cuddly-comfort, we’ve got the solution. Judging by the demand they have more on their way: Here is another cushion that prints out the directory listing in DOS. *If you look carefully, you will find a Trojan.exe listed too.

Decorating Ideas – 5 Ways

Painting Hanging Tips 1. Hang the painting at eye level. A common mistake people make is to hang the painting too high. Hanging the work at eye level ensures that the viewer is able to take in the whole picture without too much effort.

2. If you have a large space on the wall, you could either hang a single big painting or a collection of smaller paintings to fit the space. Hanging a single small painting in a big blank wall would look awkward. 3. To make a room look larger, try hanging a painting that has a distant horizon. If your ceiling is too high, opt for a painting that has a wide horizon that would prevent the viewer from gazing upwards. Likewise, if you have a low ceiling choose a painting that has strong verticals. Also, a dark room can be made to look lighter with a large light coloured painting.

4. Do not hang unsealed paintings over fireplaces. The smoke could lead to you build up on your painting. 10 Painting/Print Suggestions *This list reflects the common taste of the editorial board at Home-Designing. It is by no means a comprehensive rank based analysis of artwork during different eras. Meaning, we throw in what we like! 1. The Lady with an Ermine, Da Vinci The Lady with an Ermine is one of Da Vinci’s relatively lesser known paintings. If you think that the Mona Lisa is cliched and yet want a Da Vinci in your room, this could be a choice. 2. At The Parc Monceau, Monet Claude Oscar Monet was a founder of French impressionist painting, and his painting of the Parc Monceau is typical of Monet’s tilt towards Impressionism. 3. The Star, Edgar Degas The Star (L’?toile,1878) is probably one of Edgar Degas’s most famous works. The elevated point of view for this painting and the pale shadows the light casts are its highlights. The majority of works by Edgar Degas portray ballerinas and though his style resembles Impressionist, Degas was never fond of the Impressionist Movement.

4. Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I, Gustav Klimt The 3rd most expensive painting in the world, the Adele Bloch-Bauer I, shows off the Jugendstil style with emphasis on complex ornamentation. Painted by Gustav Klimt, this painting was sold for a whooping 661 Crore rupees(US$135 million). (If you are curious about the world’s most expensive painting, here it is) 5. Autumn Landscape with Four Trees, Van Gogh Van Gogh’s paintings and drawings include some of the world’s best known, most popular and most expensive pieces. The Autumn Landscape was completed by him in the Autumn of 1885. 6. Discussing the Divine Comedy with Dante, Dai Dudu If you want to be in the company of the famous, there is no painting better than this!
