Unicodechecker is a free tool with the possibility to convert your unicode text into html, without having to change brackets included in the text and all that ..
If for some reason you’re looking for the html encoding of a special charachter - UnicodeChecker will display that character along with its UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32 encodings, XHTML entity, Unicode Name, mapping information and much more …
Some texteditors may have this option included in their software but if they don’t unicodechecker can save you a lot of valuable time …

A + R is a online design shop, which is also based in LA.
I found some cool stuff on their website I wouldn’t mind having at home…

For instance this frame with grass to hang on your wall …

or these very kitsch curtains

or maybe this hub ..

Hopefully our dressing room will look a bit like this one when it’s finished ..
Maybe only a bit more clothing :-).

A while ago we started looking for new faucets and showers to install in our new bathroom.
We immediately fell in love with the Dornbrachts showers (here underneath you can see one of the Rainsky Models).
But the dream fell apart when they told us the price …
Why ooh why :)…

Most faucets of Dornbracht are really nice - here you can see their eMote (works with an infrared module).

We chose these ones …

Lately I’ve been searching for nice lighting.
There is so much choice - and it’s difficult to find the right lighting for a specific room.
Since we are still refurbishing our home, these are some of the lights I stumbled upon.

Dark (BE)

1) Crosslight

They are available in different colors and versions.
You have for instance a wall-version of this model, but I wasn’t so fond of that one.

2) D2V2

Truly nice. Also available in different colors and versions (hanging or standing).

Baulman (DE)

There are many LED lights available on the market for use in staircases, but most of them are not very minimal.
This one is, in my opinion.

Bover (ES)

For reading in bed. Very clean if you ask me.

That’s all for now …

Just installed Mac OS X Leopard on my laptop at Netlash and I’m damn happy about it.No need for a reinstall - I just put the cd in and clicked on ok twice or something - then - archive … and hupsakee.And untill now only Little Snitch broke … but I can live with that.

This will be my lecture for the weekend.

Lately I’ve been looking into a lot of interior designs, since we are in the middle
of refurbishment ourselves.

I already saw several decals - and I really liked the idea of it.
Decals are big or small illustrations, stickers to paste on your walls,
floors, windows, … or wherever you’d like to. Most of them are made in some kind of vinyl.
The nice thing about them is that when you get bored of them you can tear them off again.
I’d like to create my own designs for our home some day. The only thing I need is … time.
