Transforming a Basement into a Family-friendly Colorful Entertainment Room

Debbie Wiener of Design Solutions – a Freshome reader that is also an accomplished designer with a successful book, another on the way, and a soon to premier furniture line wanted to share with us a makeover story of a traditional living room into something both beautiful and functional. Her focus isn’t on creating showroom homes instead its on creating designs for real living. Such is the case here. Debbie took a basement family room and made it into a family-friendly colorful entertainment room that encapsulates her design ethos: fun, inviting, and best of camouflage for all of life’s messes. She installed a dark chocolate rug to cover up the dirt of two teenage boys, had a Warhol-esque family portrait commissioned and used a sofa from her own Slobproof! with Crypton furniture line that is stain-repellant and guaranteed long-lasting. With beautiful collectibles put into a glass display case, she was able to show them off the heirloom pieces without worrying that the family’s children would destroy them. Take a look at the before and after pictures of this project and tell us what do you think about the final result.

Could this be the Future of Interior Design ?

Designed by Amirko aka Amirkhan Abdurakhmanov this concept (if it becomes real) will give you the possibility to completely change the look of a room without having to reach for the paint buckets. Called simply “Change it!” this is basically a big wall of small triangle panels, which can be rotated to get the color of your choice. Each triangle carries white, black, and rainbow shades. I feel that in about four or five years this idea could be on the market, and then you’ll be changing the way your studio apartment looks everyday, and who knows maybe things like this will be the future of interior design. – Via – Yanko

Megan Fox’s New Home in L.A. an Impressive $2,94 Million Mansion

Located in the Los Feliz district of Los Angeles, California, you are looking at Megan Fox’s latest real estate acquisition, this  impressive $2,94 million mansion. The place stretches 5,200 sq. ft. and houses 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a spa, a huge soaking tub and a giant outdoor pool. The furniture is a combination of old and new, with a lot of interesting details. We really took a liking in the piano room, with the wooden centered table, painting and the fireplace. Bedrooms are painted in white and each of them has at least one distinctive element:  a door with shelves, interesting and luxurious carpets, classic chairs. Every room can be characterized by volume and a particular style. The place also “offers” amazing views on the city and the near-by hills. -via TMZ

Beach Retreat for the Weekend: Beautiful 2 Bedroom Home in Malibu

This small, but stylish home is located on the California shores, close to the beach and is meant for weekend gateways. The exterior, a modest but great looking building, with a metal roof and countryside feel creates an impression on the interior as well.  Tall, white walls,  plank floors and open ceilings really do great in optimizing the space. Wood is preset everywhere, giving a rustic and classic touch. The two bedrooms feature king-size beds and spacious wardrobes. Comfortable and warm, this place is quite inviting.  Even though this house is situated in a green area, this does not have any serious effect on the ocean views; the owners can enjoy a great scenery from every room of the residence.  In addiction, an outdoor terrace, perfect for enjoying  the breeze.- via Chris Cortazzo
