The gorilla is one of the most recognisable of primate species and this is in part thanks to contemporary cultural references in art, wildlife documentaries and movie-making. This wooden gorilla statue with moveable limbs is a decorative piece reflective of the iconic appeal this majestic beast has gained in recent decades. The giant primate’s features lend themselves perfectly to sculptural décor and anatomical figurines that can enhance a table top or shelf.
This impressive looking wooden gorilla statue is named Hanno after the famous Hanno II of Carthage (also known as Hanno the Navigator) who lived around 500 BC. Hanno and sixty ships were given the task of exploring and colonising the north west African coast. On this perilous journey, they came across what they described as hairy and savage peoples on an island they found. During this period, the explorers labelled these African people as gorillae and when European explorers came across the same lands in the 19th century, they at first presumed these beasts were the people the Carthaginian explorers had described. Hence their name, gorillas.
Hanno the wooden gorilla statue is the creation of renowned American sculptor David Weeks and is part of the Areaware series. Made from sustainably harvested beech wood, the beautifully formed gorilla sculpture is ideally made to suit a regular home interior setting. Placed on a table in a living room, dining room, bedroom or hallway, the wooden gorilla with moveable limbs will become an exciting decorative feature that will garner many comments from visitors to the home.
The hardwood frame means the gorilla can be placed into a wide variety of poses from the hunch position as seen in the image to a standing or even sitting position. For anyone who has a fondness for animals, especially those from the heart of Africa, this brave and strong animal sculpture will make a lovely addition to just about any type of interior setting.

Shabby chic dressers for a bedroom interior echo the relatively new style first coined in the 1980s by designer Rachel Ashwell. Originating in Britain, the shabby chic design fashion evoked the mansion house interiors where worn and faded furniture and fabrics combined with old paintwork and wooden doors to create a marvellously elegant and old-fashioned milieu. The famed understatement of the British character echoed into the unassuming attractiveness of the large country home interiors.
In this regard, shabby chic as a term points to a decorating style that uses furnishings and décor that are, or at least seemingly are, from a bygone age and are combined with more contemporary elements. In many ways it is similar to a Bohemian style which has been written about before on this blog and elsewhere. Shabby chic dressers for the bedroom interior are perfect furniture additions to a sleeping area where a little historical and imperfect furnishings are required. Combined with interior décor of a similar worn and aged nature, the room itself can become a work of art.

Shabby chic furniture like these dressers can come from a variety of historical design periods and locations. From the beautiful shaker furniture to more classical French styles, the type of dresser or cupboard is largely irrelevant compared to the quality of the finish and color. With special ageing techniques, just about any furniture piece can be given a shabby chic look which will compliment an existing interior. However, if you don’t have the time, inclination and resources to do it yourself, you can buy a shabby chic dresser from online.
Everyone wants their honeymoon period to be a unique and memorable moment in time. People try to find the best hotels or vacation villas at home or abroad in order to savor the beautiful moments of newly married life. When it comes to extraordinary honeymoon accommodation, the glass suite submerged below the Indian Ocean has to be ranked as one of the most unparalleled interiors on the planet. You’ll be sharing your intimate moments with the surrounding aquatic life.
The location of this ocean based honeymoon suite is in the waters off the Maldives in the Indian Ocean, south-west of India. Conrad Hotels are behind the amazing location which is situated in the Maldives Rangali Islands resort. Guests will experience the beauty of the ocean from below the waves but thankfully with glass in-between them and the sharks that swim by. Also included in the entertainment are a variety of color fish including the blue-striped snapper, the parrot fish, eels and sting rays.
Whilst you and your newly-wed fall asleep each night, you can both look up at the sky, just visible above the surface and perhaps at the moon shimmering in the darkness. Just try not to imagine the glass beginning to crack or be scared by a passing shark wondering what you taste like. If you can stomach all this, then the price tag on this experience could set you back a cool $2,000, per night. A complimentary champagne breakfast does follow the next morning however.
Whilst one won’t be able to recreate such a suit, unless you are a billionaire, some inspiration can be taken from the scene as shown above. Various photographic prints, canvases and wall stickers can be employed to mirror the ocean scenes one might see in this suite. A child’s bedroom can be enlivened with a blue ocean-themed ceiling with a myriad of little colorful fishes and fantasy characters. Gaze on the scene for a while and you will no doubt come up with possible interior additions to your own room which will echo a scene from below the waves.
If you had the money, would you sleep in an underwater glass suite like this?

Simple black nightstands are ideal furniture pieces for a variety of children’s bedroom sizes and designs. Whether the room is large or small, modern or traditional, one can rarely go wrong with a nice black nightstand like the one in the picture below. Placed next to a platform bed or just about any kind of kid’s bed you may have, this item will act as both a storage area and a handy bedside table for the placement of cups, lamps and trinkets.
It’s interesting to note that the nightstand harks back to the days before indoor flushing toilets were commonplace. The primary function of the stand was as a storage area for the chamber pot. Nowadays, the nightstand acts as a general table and drawer space for bedside accessories. Some have drawers, whilst others are crafted with open shelving like this particular easy-to-assemble black nightstand for children made from engineered-wood products.
Whatever items you or your child desire to keep close during the sleeping hours can be placed within or on top of this nightstand which is covered with a pure black finish. These might include a lamp, a couple of books, a comic, an alarm clock, a glass of water and stuffed toys. The open shelving space forgoes the need for drawers which can be tricky to open for little children.
