Ice Warning

I've been following news about the Artic ice pack, and this year it appeared we were going to get a break from the rapid melt that resulted in a record ice minimum last September. This optimism was expressed as recently as July. Alas, apparently it is not to be. The Beaufort Sea was the site of dramatic change according to this article at The Guardian, and now all bets are off.The scientists

More On Peak Oil

While the price of oil continues its way down, to the relief of many, Tom and I are engaged in a civilized conversation regarding peak. I happen to believe that drilling will happen, and Nancy Pelosi will be forced to back down. It's just a matter of time and compromise. However, only 18 billion barrels of ~72 billion are estimated in the off-limits area. The balance is sitting in leaseholds

Elements of a Country Living Room Design

By : Albert Lee

When one says he/she wants a country living room design, there a number of things that come into mind. The usual common impression however, is that the house is somewhat "homey" because this is the striking quality of country living room design.

The evolution of such design style has introduced a number of looks and now country can mean modern country, cottage country, eclectic, or the traditional country look.

Regardless of what style of country you want to achieve in your country living room design, there are specific elements that must be present to give it an authentic country touch.

Country design can also vary depending on geography that is why the French country look is different from American or English country. History and sentimental appeal is introduced with vintage or vintage-looking pieces from the specific country.

So, if you are planning on having a country living room design then try to do some research on the country look that is unique in your part of the globe. The important thing to remember here is that regardless of geography, country design takes elements from the old look of the past.

Now if you decide to go for a traditional country look, remember that is still dependent on geography, but you will easily know it is a traditional look if majority of the room's shell, furniture, and accessories are made of wood and have intricately hand-carved details. The colors are often sunny and bright or muted and toned down, or even a mixture of both.

Meanwhile, a modern country living room design combines elements from the past with that of the present. The use of wood is no longer dominant because there a good number of pieces that speak modern, and this is through the use of materials such as polished metal and glass to name a few.

The colors of the room usually belong to a pastel palette or that of earth tone and muted-down colors. Minimalism is observed in the design of furniture pieces, and clean lines or slimmer silhouettes are evident in a modern country living room design.
