Mellow Yellow: At the Mall

When we’re wandering a mall, we often see interesting things, right? I don’t shop clothes often, but I love to see big discounted items. Who doesn’t? Perhaps I can find good stuffs in best prices…

For Mellow Yellow, I share here two photos; sale items and children on a ‘golden carriage’. All are captured by a camera phone. I asked their mother’s permission to capture her children.

New Practical Uses of Everyday Items

Sharon Tanenbaum and Ashley Tate wrote this article. Have you noticed that every day items like rubber bands, tooth picks, post-it note, salt, and many more have many new uses? It’s interesting. Check this out:

Rubber Bands
1. Open jars with ease. When a small lid won’t budge, wrap a rubber band around it several times to give you a better grip.
2. Decorate Easter eggs. Arrange rubber bands in a pattern around hard-boiled eggs, then dip them into dye. Remove the bands when the eggs are dry.

3. Bring order to your dishwasher. Tether stemware and other delicate, wobbly items to the rack.
4. Wrap a gift. Use multiple colored rubber bands instead of ribbon to add modern flair to a small present. (Particularly handy when you can’t find the tape.)

Toothpicks
1. Label meat. Are these burgers rare or well-done? They all look the same on the outside. Identify just-off-the-grill meats with different-colored toothpicks and they won’t get mixed up.
2. Find the end of the roll. When you’ve finished using tape, wrap the end around a toothpick so you can easily locate it the next time.
3. Glue beads and sequins. Use the sharp ends to apply teensy items to a craft project.

4. Sew a better button. Place a toothpick between the button and fabric so it doesn’t go on too tightly and end up tough to fasten.
5. Press a gadget’s Reset button. What fits perfectly into that tiny hole? You guessed it.

A Passing By Train

The train was captured from the 3rd floor. At that time, I and my husband were at a restaurant that has a wide balcony.

Mellow Yellow: Goal…!

Yesterday-Sunday morning, I and my husband walked to a little park near our home and sit on the bench. We saw several boys were playing football on the field. It’s actually a multi purpose field; you can play football, volleyball, basketball, and any other activities.

I share here a goal moment. It's a pity, a basketball pole blocked the boy’s face that made the goal kick.

An Office Building at the Airport

Last Tuesday; I, my husband and brother in-law went to Soekarno-Hatta Airport (Jakarta, Indonesia) to take my sister in-law who will go abroad. When I was walking around, I saw one office building that attracted my attention. I think it looks good in b/w.

Choosing Modern Bathroom Vanities Tips

Choosing Modern Bathroom Vanities Tips  -If your home’s style is a modern one; you should read this. When buying furniture for your modern homes, consider these: practical, minimalistic, and space-saving. This time, it will focus about bathroom at your home.

Bathroom vanities are the center in your bathroom. If your bathroom is already looking dull, replacing your old vanities with the stylish one will make a big difference to your bathroom look. You can get vanities in various sizes and kinds, but you have to pick the one that's just right. At present, modern bathroom vanities usually have following features:

1.Minimalistic. Go for simple one-color or bordered finishes, clean and simple lines.

2.Transparent. Glass is "in" in a big way. Your vanity could have a glass paneled door, or even a glass sink.

3.Small. If you have a small bathroom, make sure that it's friendly for emergency access. Wall-mounted vanities let you access a lot of floor space, while serving as storage units as well.

4.Vessel sinks. Vessel sinks are mounted on top of the vanity rather than embedded into it. While glass vessel sinks can look stunningly contemporary, stone vessel sinks in a variety of finishes - marble, malachite, granite etc - can serve as a pleasing vintage-y contrast to your ultra-modern bathroom.

5.Adventurous faucets. Today, faucets come in stainless steel, bronze, chrome, nickel and even black finishes. Beautifully crafted in thousands of designs, they let you choose from knobs to levers to automatic infrared detection. They may be wall mounted as well as attached to your vanity.

6.Storage space. Modern homes need storage space. A classy bathroom vanity can let you store your towels and bathrobes as well as cosmetics without looking ugly.
