Small Guest House

The guest bedroom is the one room in the house that you aren’t decorating for yourself. Therefore when you go to design the rooms décor, it is important not to get in your own way. Overdoing the decoration in this room will be a disservice to guests by reinforcing the fact that they are not in their own home. As comfortable as they may be with you, they will never be as comfortable in your home as they would in their own setting. On the other hand, failing to place those few simple pieces that make a space feel personal; will leave the guest room feeling cold and empty.

The idea behind a small wedding is to share your special day with only a few special people. Since the size of the wedding party and guests is easily manageable, small weddings ideas often allow you to pursue the wedding of your dreams when otherwise it wouldn't be possible. Whether it's a fancy, elegant wedding or a few close friends sharing a common interest, the choice is yours. Make your small wedding a wedding that you'll never forget.

Maximize space in a small room by using the most functional furniture available -- a futon sofa sleeper. Guest rooms and children's rooms are typically too small to fit both a couch and a bed, and, if a kid's room, leave room to play! Futon sofa sleepers are specially designed to provide both a sofa and a comfortable bed in any small space. They even work wonders in college dorm rooms and are much better than hide-a-beds. Todays futons are wonderful pieces of furniture!

The charming suburb of Lakeside in Cape Town is situated in between the suburbs of Westlake and Muizenberg, with the jagged Steenberg Mountains as a prominent backdrop and the Zandvlei (sandy lake) in the foreground. The Zandvlei Lake lies below the suburb of Lakeside and presents a range of exciting activities including canoeing, yachting, windsurfing and other water-sports.

Building a shed house is a very intriguing concept to me. I have always liked the idea of small spaces built for specific uses. The idea of a shed house to me seems quite unique. Now when I say build a shed house, I don't mean build an eight-by-ten storage shed and live in it. My vision is a small outbuilding built with the expressed purpose of being livable or usable for some purpose that requires finishing. Think guest suite, detached office, sewing room... the list could go on and on.
