Revamping God’s home into your own: Holy home in the UK

The idea of living in a church is both beautiful and disconcerting at the same time, but that has in no way stopped these fabulous folk in UK to turn God’s adobe into a cozy little place that is their home. The owners bought the church for £92,000 and then went on to spend a whooping £300,000 on renovations to give it the shape and look that it currently sports. The vast interiors, sweeping spaces, stained glass and the Gothic theme really floor you. Despite the decorating falling short of all the grandeur that surrounds it, you cannot but marvel at this bold experiment. With the dead still resting in your backyard, this is one exceptional home indeed! No?











The Urban Lounge – An ergonomically pleasing seat

Crafted by renowned Chicago based designer Scott Collins, this comfortable chair is part of the new Urban Lounge collection which focuses on outdoor modern furniture with simple and minimal curves. Made up of a single piece of bent plywood, the super relaxing lounge chair goes with your natural surroundings and fits nicely with any modern environment. We can only imagine plopping a cushion on it and spend some quality time relaxing or sun bathing close to the swimming pool or into the garden.

Now, that truly is a dynamic design!

Modern Space Saving Mini Kitchen from Ensci

The Modern Space Saving Mini Kitchen from Ensci is great in places where the space is premium. The mini kitchen is quite an invention and will even let you enjoy keeping everything you need at your fingertips. The countertop is movable and slides pretty well to reveal the range, sink, storage, cupboards and even plenty of cabinets. Imagine, all this in just one kitchen unit. When you are not using it, the kitchen closes up, giving a minimalist, streamlined look and some much-needed organization to what is the most-used, most-chaotic room in the home.
