			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Green is a relaxing color and therefore makes a perfect backdrop for just about any room in the home, especially a bedroom. That’s why I like to use <strong>green wallpaper</strong> when I get the chance and this warm and cheery green leaf design wallpaper with red flower accents is one that caught my eye. It will enhance an interior very well, whether it receives a lot of natural daylight or not. </p>
<p><a href="http://homeinteriordesignthemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Green-Leaf-Wallpaper-with-Red-Flowers.jpg"><img src="http://homeinteriordesignthemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Green-Leaf-Wallpaper-with-Red-Flowers-300x183.jpg" alt="" title="Green Leaf Wallpaper with Red Flowers" width="300" height="183" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5978" /></a></p>
<p>Green of course is abundant in nature and this leaf and floral wallpaper theme is great if you’re putting together a design theme which is based on wildlife, forests or a rural setting. For kid’s rooms in particular, this rich and vibrant green wallpaper will make the atmosphere akin to that of a glorious sunny day in a meadow or ballpark. </p>
<p>A sense of tranquillity is very much gained from this style of wallpaper. However, too much green can be off-putting and so the red floral highlights nicely break up the expanse of green and create important focal points for the eyes and bursts of energy and vitality. The best rooms in my opinion for wallpaper of this sort are a child’s bedroom, home study or a game’s room. </p>
<p>You can buy it from here: <strong><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=334883&#038;b=167768&#038;m=17801&#038;afftrack=&#038;urllink=www%2Eburkedecor%2Ecom%2FFloral%2DLeaves%2Din%2DReds%2Dand%2DGreens%2Dby%2DCarey%2DLind%2Dp%2Fsbk16252%2Ehtm">Floral Leaves in Reds and Greens by Carey Lind</a></strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Floral curtain panels</strong> that allow natural daylight to filter through can be used for decorative purposes in a wide variety of locations in the home. We usually think of curtains as rather formal and functional accessories to keep light and prying eyes out of an interior. Yet this does not always have to be the case. This supple cotton graphic curtain panel by John Robshaw called &#8216;<a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=334883&#038;b=167768&#038;m=17801&#038;afftrack=&#038;urllink=www%2Eburkedecor%2Ecom%2FStone%2DCurtain%2Dby%2DJohn%2DRobshaw%2Dp%2Fwcur%2Dstn%2D96%2Ehtm">Stone Curtain</a>&#8216; is ideal for a large window or door frame. </p>
<p><a href="http://homeinteriordesignthemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/cotton-stone-curtain-john-robshaw.jpg"><img src="http://homeinteriordesignthemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/cotton-stone-curtain-john-robshaw.jpg" alt="" title="cotton-stone-curtain-john-robshaw" width="323" height="324" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4671" /></a>The beautiful <strong>translucent</strong> effect of this floral curtain panel allows light to filter through into a room whilst diminishing the blinding glow of direct sunlight. Delicate floral patterns add an aesthetic charm to the feature as well as echoing the possible scenery just outside and behind the cotton panel itself, as noted in the picture above. When placed over a door frame, the curtain panel allows for easy access in and out whilst keeping the interior private. </p>
<p>The designer behind this &#8216;Stone Curtain&#8217; is John Robshaw who has taken a great deal of inspiration from the art and design found in China and India. The fabric-making traditions of artisans in both these countries led to the development of his own unique style which have become a fascination both for himself and many around the country. With decorative and translucent cotton curtain panels like these, one can place them anywhere in the home, whether against a window or door, or alternative in the very center of a room to act as a spacial divider. </p>
<p>You can buy this curtain from here: <strong><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=334883&#038;b=167768&#038;m=17801&#038;afftrack=&#038;urllink=www%2Eburkedecor%2Ecom%2FStone%2DCurtain%2Dby%2DJohn%2DRobshaw%2Dp%2Fwcur%2Dstn%2D96%2Ehtm">Printed Cotton Graphic Curtain Panel</a></strong>.</p>
<p>Price: $150</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Chintz</strong>, which is a cotton textile, frequently glazed and usually displaying a flower pattern, commonly on a light-colored ground, is normally considered to be quintessentially English. However, as with numerous Western concepts, the origins of chintz can be traced towards the East. The Indians were the first to master the skills associated with painting and printing motifs on to cotton and linen employing dyes and pigments with the help of mordants to prevent the hues from fading. A majority of these textiles, which were imported into European countries from the 17th century, were generally hand-painted, even though facets were hand-blocked. All the hues were vibrant, uninhibited and happy.</p>
<p>Composed mainly of intricatel <strong>flowered shapes</strong>, the patterning came to be both punctilious and visually gratifying, plus there was substantial variety in the designs developed. As opposed to the first printed fabrics of Europe, which usually were an attempt to imitate the more pricey woven materials of the time, the Indian printed designs were noticeably determined by close observation of nature, the harmony of their forms together with their versatility to the printing method. Indian artists exhibited sizeable originality and talent in the planning of the design.</p>
<p><center><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=homintdesthe-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;asins=1851775323&#038;fc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;lt1=_blank&#038;m=amazon&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;bc1=000000&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe></center><br />
Painted and printed calicoes used to be imported into Europe by the East India Companies during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Within France they were recognized as <em>indiennes</em> or alternatively <em>chittes</em> whilst in England <em>chints</em> or <em>chintz</em>, from the Hindu word that means &#8220;speckled&#8221;. To start with, the cloths were not to be found in substantial sections and as such were utilised only for such uses as table carpets and stool covers. Steadily, on the other hand, as the European marketplace increased, the Indians began to cater for <strong>Western preferences</strong>, and the calicoes were then employed also as drapes, bed and wall hangings, bed covers as well as garments. When business multiplied, the hues and designs were modified in order to comply with a more restrained design suitable for Europeans. Patterns were sent to India from Britain, France as well as Holland, influencing the size, composition and pattern.</p>
<p>Indian bed coverings called <em>palampores</em> ended up being imported in great quantities. Terrific examples of Indian patterning, they&#8217;ve presented inspiration for countless textile plus wallpaper styles. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are searching for a <strong>decorative serving tray</strong> for your kitchen and dining room, that has a South American theme, then I can recommend this Peruvian decorative serving tray which incorporates the stunning reverse glass painting technique. I&#8217;ve written about this glass design technique before because it is such a fascinating theme that permeates through much of Peruvian arts and craft. This decorative serving tray will certainly catch the attention of family and guests alike. </p>
<p><img src="http://homeinteriordesignthemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/espiga-decorative-serving-tray-peru.jpg" alt="espiga-decorative-serving-tray-peru" title="espiga-decorative-serving-tray-peru" width="477" height="337" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2345" />Reverse glass painting originated in Europe, specifically in France and Italy. However, it was the Spanish who took the glass art technique to South America. There the craft took hold and evolved into a new and unique cultural design phenomenon that has made Peru famous as being one of the leading exponents of reverse glass painting. </p>
<p>The basic idea surrounding the <strong>reverse glass painting technique</strong> is the application of paint to one side of a glass panel and the reverse viewing of the completed art form once finished. By that I mean, the glass pane is turned over and the art work is viewed and admired from the other side. It&#8217;s more difficult that one might at first image because the layers of paint must be added to the glass in reverse order to the normal way of painting. </p>
<p>This particular Peruvian decorative serving tray was made by artisans in Peru who are experts in the reverse glass painting technique. The floral design on the surface of the tray is one well known to the region and is referred to as <em>Espiga</em>. My translation is probably a little rusty but I believe this means both &#8216;ears&#8217; and &#8216;sprig&#8217; and therefore I believe it refers to the latter word as it is of a floral nature. </p>
<p>You can buy this tray from the following location: <strong><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantID=22149&#038;userID=334883&#038;productID=465557548" target="_blank">Espiga Natural Decorative Tray from Peru</a></strong>. </p>
<p>Price: $92</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I came across this <strong><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantID=22149&#038;userID=334883&#038;productID=465557462" target="_blank">reverse glass painted waste basket and tissue box</a></strong> on my travels around the web. What struck me was the amazing technique with which these <strong>Peruvian made</strong> bedroom and bathroom accessories had been made. The floral patterns on the <strong>Baroque style waste basket and tissue box</strong> were created using what was, in the beginning, a Byzantine art form. </p>
<p><img src="http://homeinteriordesignthemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/reverse-glass-painted-waste-basket-tissue-box.jpg" alt="reverse-glass-painted-waste-basket-tissue-box" title="reverse-glass-painted-waste-basket-tissue-box" width="423" height="419" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1067" /></p>
<p>The Middle Ages saw the birth of the <strong>reverse glass painting technique</strong>. As the name suggests, it is where a piece of glass is painted and then viewed from the other side. This was first used in the decorating of icons in the Byzantine Empire. Over time, it spread across into Central Europe and played a large part in Renaissance designs. From the 18th Century onwards it flourished after being favoured by the nobility and the church. </p>
<p>This particular waste basket and tissue box comes from <strong>Peru</strong>. The Spanish were responsible for taking the <strong>reverse glass painting technique</strong> to South America in the 15th Century. Since then, it has taken a different road to the European styles and this is evident in the floral designs one can see on the side of the basket and box. Indeed, reverse glass painting has become an <strong>integral part of Peruvian art and culture</strong>. </p>
<p><img src="http://homeinteriordesignthemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/reverse-glass-painting-accessory.jpg" alt="reverse-glass-painting-accessory" title="reverse-glass-painting-accessory" width="347" height="348" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1068" /></p>
<p>If you are looking for some decorative accessories for your bedroom or bathroom, then this <strong>reverse glass painted waste basket and tissue box set</strong> from Peru will add an aura of cultural sophistication to your interior. Each time you venture into the room, you will be reminded of the incredible history of this fascinating art form. The floral designs are appealing and the Baroque shape and style will compliment many existing furniture pieces and fittings.</p>
