Here is an interesting modern bed from Italian manufacturer Sanatambrogio Milano. The design theme is "glass" where the entire bed frame is made of glass. Now, you are probably wondering about the strength of such a product and the propensity for breakage or cracking. Obviously, you would need to have the right kind of home life and activity to support a piece of glass furniture. Besides the bed pictured, they also have a bathroom, bench, and kitchen constructed of glass. It certainly makes for an interesting picture. More information: here.

Here is another modern furniture release from Munich based designer Matthias Demacker that will debut at the IMM Cologne Furniture Fair this year. The Moon Table is a collaboration with Seefelder and is produced in chromed or lacquered steel tube, with table tops made from scratch resistant powder coated MDF in white and black, matt or high gloss finishes. The set of tables can be arranged and used separately or overlapped, "an abstract symbol for the individual phases of the moon- a clear allusion on the symbolism of the Yin & Yang". If you like the Moon Table you will like the rest of the Seefelder modern furniture collection with a distinctly European flair.
Searching for doors can be a bit of a challenge when you shop around. There are several varieties of doors including exterior, interior, and sliding to name just a few. Depending on its function, the door is usually constructed of varying degrees of strength. Obviously, an exterior door needs to be very strong to prevent unlawful entry into a home. A challenge I have is finding decent pictures on the web for doors. I was able to find some today from a company called Tre-Piu. Their Polis line is what is displayed for the interior and exterior doors. There is a variety of choices in the product line as well as five colors: dark walnut, light walnut, cream, white, and cherry. The sliding door models are available in inside wall and outside wall configurations and several color options as well. More information: here.

Below is the Q & A session I did with this aspiring designer:

Grippiks is a wonderful product of adhesives that are specifically designed for Ikea furniture. The great thing is that you can change the look of your home furnishings by applying different colors and patterns. The adhesives are easy to put on and easy to take off. I like this idea since it is a frugal approach to creating a new look for any room. Ikea's furniture generally is solid colors, so it is easy to even start out with the idea to customize with patterns. A nice thing about the website is that you actually shop by finding the Ikea name like Stranda, Malm, etc. This ensures that what you order will be the right size. Buy product: here.
