INVISIBLE HOUSE and other three cabins

Image
       In northern Sweden, in the woods near the village of Harads, was made an unusual hotel. It is a hotel that just stands among trees and due to its unique and innovative design people adore it.        The hotel consists of four modules , located about four to five feet above the ground, and has "as a point of support" a tree. Therefore you can get in using stairs. Each room is decorated differently , and is very well camouflaged in the natural environment.        One of the rooms is designed as a huge bird nest that can accommodate a family of four.

        1.  Paint the radiator . Use a bright color to catch any eyes.            2.  Insert potted plants . I thing bathroom is a good place for plants (if only there is a window of course).            3.   Paint the bathtub . Just make sure the paint is resistant to heat.            4.  Use ribbon knots instead of shower curtain rings.            5.  Use vintage style canopy instead of shower curtains for your bathtub.            6. Use a rubber mat . There are no doubts that a fluffy fur looks really great in bathrooms. But is it functional? Just imagine how much moisture it absorbs during you bath. Silk, wool and jute style rugs can be used in a bathroom if the proper care is taken. If these rugs are not properly well dried out they can even affect our health. Just imagine how many microbes are there if you don’t give it enough care.      Another disadvantage is that a natural fiber rug can slip more easily than a rubber one.

You have to start with a perfectly clean and smooth surface to end up with perfectly painted walls or woodwork.    2. Use a primer to fill holes    3. Cover a paint tray with aluminum foil (or a plastic bag) to avoid cleaning it every time. So you won't have to buy new tray often.    4.

How to know it? very simple: put some drops of alchool on a cotton pad and rub it on the painted surface. If the paint remains on the cotton pad it means that it is latex based paint, unless it's oil (if it is oil-based, you need oil-based primer before sta
