This time of year a small heater can come in handy to warm a bedroom, bathroom, or living room when it is needed. Most of the models on the market don't take much of a design approach and as a result, don't complement the décor of the home. The model featured here is "Bambu" from Deltacolor that was designed by Studio Dell'Acqua-Bellavitis. Here they take metal tubes up from a narrow base and fray them on the ends to create a natural look much like is seen in plants. The end result is a small heater that adds to the beauty of your home.

Having just had company over I realize that I could stand to clean my carpet. Invariably, children, wet weather, and foot traffic in general will put dirt into carpet and slowly change its color. The Bissell ProHeat Cleanshot is a vacuum cleaning system that is designed to tackle carpet cleaning. Now, I am just as skeptical as everyone since there are so many systems out there that all claim to work and are rather expensive. The key feature in this system is the heated water. Hot water greatly improves the ability to loosen up dirt while at the same time kills bacteria, mold, and mildew. The system works by heating the water up and then adding the cleaning solution. The mix is sprayed onto the carpet, gone over by brushes, and then picked back up by vacuum suction. I think a big question for any family is how much to spend on these types of products and whether or not to have carpet professionally cleaned every so often. If you prefer not to have any type of solution on the carpet, than you may want to consider investigating steam cleaners which use only steam as their cleaning agent. Price: $299. Product: here.
A bathroom towel warmer can come in handy during colder months. Towel Spa can warm a towel, robe, or blanket in minutes so that you can immediately warm yourself when stepping out of a shower on a cold morning. Unlike towel racks, Towel Spa can be stored away during warmer months when it is not needed. The design purpose behind this product is for you to enjoy a heated towel much like you would if you were visiting a spa. Price: $79.99. Product: here.
