Surreal Images by Hengki Koentjoro

I’ve always been immensely fascinated with photography and the idea of saving a moment in time. But its photographers like Hengki Koentjoro who take it to a whole new level.

Through his own unique techniques and long exposure, he transforms the ordinary into something out of a fairy tale. His black and white images are so gorgeous that his subjects often seem suspended in space.

When asked about how he became the photographer that he is, heres what he had to say:
“My Mother gave me a Kodak Pocket camera when I was Eleven years old and I never look back ever since. I fell in love with the idea of preserving what I was seeing, and it was about the beginning of my love affair with photography. From that moment forward, I began documenting, photographically, the activities of my family, as well as the community surrounding me.”

Keep Your Baby Clean

Keep Your Baby Clean

Being a mom or a dad is not an easy job and those who have recently become parents can confirm this. The thing which I consider to be the most difficult is giving the baby a bath. He is just so tiny and gets dirty so easy!

Fortunately for me, Cleanwater Baby Bathtub has been invented. It is a cool bathtub that drains the dirty water and also has a thermometer that changes its color in order to display the water’s temperature.

It is friendly and stylish so that you can always keep your baby clean and healthy!

Tips On Finding The Right Canvas Wall Art For Your Home

Hanging canvas wall art in your house is important if you want to create a homey and well decorated look to your house. You can also use paintings to set the mood or to add an accent to a very simple room. Hanging artwork in your home can also finish the look of your interiors.

Paintings today are not as expensive as they used to be several years ago. More artists are finding affordable art supplies and buyers for their work which drives the prices down. Artworks are usually sold in art galleries, art festivals or on the internet.

Your choices at an art gallery may be limited to only a dozen or two pieces. Hunting for art at a festival is fun but it doesn’t assure you that you can find a suitable painting for your home. You might have better chances of finding what you really need on an online art store.

On the net, you will find hundreds of artworks in various subjects, painting styles, sizes and mediums. The possibility of finding something perfect for your home is better. With so many choices on the net, it can also get a bit confusing.

Before you start surfing for artwork online, write some notes about the kind of painting you need. Take measurements of your wall space. Look at the color theme in your room. Decide what subject would look appropriate for the room you are decorating.

If you are buying artwork for you dining room, stick to paintings that depict food, landscapes or flowers. Of course you can also get an abstract canvas if your dining room and home look modern. Match your painting to your furnishing and decor style.

If you are decorating a traditional home, go for traditional canvas wall art. If you are a casual and easy-going, your house should reflect that too. You might want to consider a casual contemporary piece. If your interior design is Asian inspired, then choose Asian canvas wall art.

Modern Decor For A Kid’s Room

Today’s children are more sophisticated than kids a few decades ago. Kids today want modern bedrooms with the latest gaming-ready laptops adorning their study table. Gone are the days when little girls died to have four poster beds with canopies.

Boys today are more modern too and prefer to have modern beds and abstract canvas wall art in their bedroom. Pastel colors are out, and in come bright and vibrant colors. Even their tastes in furniture and decor have gone high tech.

Although tastes in design and decor have changed, the fact remains that fixing up a child’s room should still consider transition from one age group to another without having to redecorate the whole bedroom too often. Here are some tips on how to decorate a modern kids room.

1) Never mind the four poster bed, pirate ship bed, or Ferrari bed. These days, kids like adult looking furniture, which could be an advantage since the bed or other furniture won’t need replacement when they get to their teens. Drop the wooden bunk beds made of expensive high end wood. You can use cheaper materials painted in bright colors that will appeal to kids more.

2) A bubble chair would look very modern but still suitable for a kid’s room. You can hang a bubble chair in a spacious area of the room. It’s called a bubble chair because it does look like a floating bubble like something out of a science fiction movie. It is made of a ball-shaped plexiglass with an opening on one side where your child can get in and sit on a pillow or cushion. It swings slightly and is a cool addition to a modern kids bedroom.

3) Use bright colors to make simple furniture made of affordable materials look good and interesting. Simple and boring lines can look very attractive if painted in bright colors. You can use 2 to 3 colors around the room, from the bed, walls, to the fitted wardrobe cabinets and shelves. Use brightly colored decor accents like canvas wall art, lampshades and area rugs.

4) Have fun with geometric shapes and lose the frilly flowers and intricate cutesy designs. Geometric shapes in vibrant colors can make a child’s bedroom look striking and upbeat. Instead of using wall paper, paint vertical or horizontal stripes across the walls, or even the ceiling. Use geometric patterns on the area rug, artwork, bed linens or a comforter.

5) Get rid of the blinds and heavy flowery drapes and replace them with ultra modern shades with modern prints and materials. There are roller shades, solar shades, pleated shades and cellular shades. Cellular and solar shades look ultra modern and are also durable and energy efficient by insulating heat or cold.

6) Use wall decor in a kid’s room but skip the dainty flower canvas wall art or traditional landscapes or animal art. Instead, use abstract canvas or modern offset canvas art sets that will go with the bedroom’s color theme and modern concept.

Designs for childrens rooms have come a long way. Today’s bedrooms for children consider costs, practicality, and a child’s more contemporary tastes. Check out some modern bedroom designs in the video below. You’ll wish you had a bedroom this cool when you were a kid.
