			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; line-height: 150%;"><img class="size-full wp-image-800  aligncenter" title="farelli home furnitures" src="http://www.homepractical.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/farelli-home-furnitures.jpg" alt="" width="461" height="108" /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Verdana;">We are now living in a modern world and we have modern homes now. It is then just right that we have modern furniture to fit the new face of our modern home. In your living room, you need to have a <a href="http://farrelli.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Modern sofa</strong></a>. That way, your visitors will feel great whenever they wait for you to come out or for other reasons that they need to wait for. In your room, you need to have a <a href="http://farrelli.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Modern bed</strong></a>, perfect for you and your wife and even for your kids. That way, your sleep will be really tight and sound. You must also have <a href="http://farrelli.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Modern coffee table</strong></a>. That way, you will enjoy drinking hot coffee with your guests or with your family. Everything should be modern in order to be in line with the age of modernity.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Verdana;"><img class="size-full wp-image-801    aligncenter" title="modern bed" src="http://www.homepractical.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/modern-bed.jpg" alt="" width="484" height="261" /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Verdana;"><span id="more-799"></span>The problem now is where you can possibly get all these modern furniture sets at a very cheap price. I mean, since you are after modern stuffs, it is expected that you will spend much money for it. But this is actually a mistake. There is no need for you to spend much because there are websites over the internet such as farrelli.com that represents companies that sell modern furniture at very affordable prices. That way, you can get all of these modern furniture sets at a very affordable price, without compromising quality of course.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Verdana;">If we want to make our homes be beautiful, we must see to it that we provide it with quality stuffs. One of the things that we must take into consideration is the kind of furniture that we have in our homes. We have to make sure that when it comes to furniture, we must have the best, we must have those with high quality. We must have <a href="http://www.indonesiafurniture.net/" target="_blank"><strong>indonesia furniture</strong></a> for our homes. If we can do that, then we can have a beautiful home that will make other home owners envious.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Verdana;"><span id="more-702"></span>For your home, <a href="http://www.indonesiafurniture.net/" target="_blank"><strong>indonesia</strong><strong> furniture wholesale</strong></a> will serve you best. That is because this kind of furniture is being distributed not just to their local market but to the international market. Their products are being exported to other countries. Do you know why? It is simply because <strong>i<a href="http://www.indonesiafurniture.net/" target="_blank">ndonesia</a></strong><a href="http://www.indonesiafurniture.net/" target="_blank"><strong> furniture manufacturers</strong></a> see to it that they just make the furniture with the highest quality possible. They live up to their reputation as one of those sources of reliable and guaranteed high-quality furniture for homes.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Verdana;">Making your home look like an inviting one is not that hard. You just have to be aware of the things that you should do in order to make that thing possible. Put your effort in making your home a very relaxing and beautiful place to stay in.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Verdana;">When it comes to choosing furniture to adorn every space of your home, proportion is important. On this aspect, take into consideration and put forward the following tips:</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Verdana;">â€¢ Measure your space. Write it on a paper. Include other details like door and window location.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Verdana;">â€¢ Source the furniture and measure these pieces.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Verdana;">â€¢ Layout the size of the furniture in your space. Use masking tape or make a cut-out to layout the furniture size on the floor.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: Verdana;">â€¢ Check if it fits. If it doesnâ€™t eat up too much space and you think that it works well with the area, by all means buy the furniture. Just make sure that youâ€™re still within your design theme.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><img class="size-full wp-image-332 alignleft" title="uratex-mattress" src="http://www.homepractical.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/uratex-mattress.jpg" alt="uratex-mattress" width="300" height="300" />Remember the fairytale about The Princess and the Pea, and how a single pea caused so much discomfort when she slept? While that was from our storybooks, it does have its basis on reality â€“ how a good nightâ€™s sleep is so important for all of us.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Considering all the stress we encounter on an everyday basis, thereâ€™s nothing so Â comforting as laying oneâ€™s head and body on a comfortable mattress. And the good news is that Our Home, the lifestyle store, where one can get great designs at great prices, has a new collection of mattresses from Uratex that combine technology with comfort, Â therapeutic benefits with great designs.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">There are therapeutic mattresses good for the health, hygienic mattresses that protect us from anti-allergy microbes, senso memory mattresses for better circulation, and Rajo Laurelâ€™s trapunto mattresses designed to make you sleep like a princess.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Now, thatâ€™s a long way when our ancestors slept on piles of leaves and animal skins, and more recently, mattresses with artificial fillers from the 1930s and with foam fibers inthe 1950s!</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><img class="size-full wp-image-186 alignleft" title="deborah-sofa-bed" src="http://www.homepractical.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/deborah-sofa-bed.jpg" alt="deborah-sofa-bed" width="250" height="157" />Dorm hunting, apartment hunting, or condo hunting all amounts to the same thing: finding a comfy place to live in. But first you have to find a space in which you can fit a small kitchen, dining area and, most important for a stressed-out student, a bed.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Dimensione offers solutions not only make dorms livable but a home away from home. Sofa beds are the ultimate solution for small spaces; these nifty pieces come in various shapes, lengths and sizes that are adaptable to whatever space you find yourself settling in. For a room with plain walls, the Darla, Danica, Dannah or Denise sofa bed is the perfect choice, not only because it accentuates the area; it also fits two people at the same time for P25,950. The Darla can give you the fluffiness of the bed you left behind but saves space as a pullout from the wall. The Danica is similar except that itâ€™s made out of micro-fiber and available in shades of red and black. The Dannah, on the other hand, is more streamlined and resembles an orthopedic bed in feel, but requires less time to set up since all you have to do is flip the seat over and put the backrest forward. It comes in red or black, depending on your color preference. The Denise sofa bed is modern in appeal with its neutral brown shade and open backrest, which when pushed down will turn into a bed.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><span id="more-185"></span><img class="size-full wp-image-187 alignright" title="deborah-sofa-bed-2" src="http://www.homepractical.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/deborah-sofa-bed-2.jpg" alt="deborah-sofa-bed-2" width="250" height="127" />For even smaller spaces, the Dylan (P17,950), Deborah (P17,950), Debbie (P14,950), or Daniela (P5,995) is the suitable choice. The Dylan, with its ottoman design, can double as a study table by day and a pullout cot at night. Because of its mobile design, you can place it anywhere in your room. If youâ€™re the type who studies better when sitting or reclining, the Deborah sofa bed not only allows you to adjust the backrest, you can lay it out flat and drift off to sleep with your books on your chest. If you prefer a more compact look with similar adjustments, the right choice is the Debbie sofa bed. A mix of the Dylan and Deborah, the Debbie is compact in style like an ottoman except with backrest. Though it needs to be pulled out flat, it also offers the flexibility of a reclining chair, whose angle can be adjusted depending on personal preference. Available in red or black, it also comes with a patterned pillow.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><img class="size-full wp-image-188 alignright" title="deborah-sofa-bed-3" src="http://www.homepractical.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/deborah-sofa-bed-3.jpg" alt="deborah-sofa-bed-3" width="250" height="211" />Called the smart sofa bed, the Daniela resembles a futon with its easy storage design in candy colors of green, pink, yellow and red. It allows for more mobility, fits into more color schemes and can even be brought along on camping trips.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><img class="size-full wp-image-172 alignleft" title="bone-china" src="http://www.homepractical.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/bone-china.jpg" alt="bone-china" width="250" height="323" />Often than not, people confuse porcelain and china. Porcelain is commonly called china as this is where the material originated.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">One type of porcelain is the bone china, which was created and perfected by Englishman Josiah Spode II in 1800. Bone china comes from actual bones of animals, fired at temperatures reaching to 1,000 degrees and then pulverized. The resulting ash is mixed with water and clay additives to come up with a wide range of ceramic wares, furnishings and decor. Materials made of bone ash are highly valued for their intrinsic qualities. Such qualities make the bone china rare and as Filipino entrepreneur Clemente Manrique Jr. and owner of CSM International Corporation, an exporter of decorative porcelain, home furnishings and holiday dÃ©cor, would ascertain, â€œbone china commands a very high quality standard and is the most difficult ceramic to work with.â€</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><span id="more-171"></span>Bone china possesses qualities such as ivory whiteness, translucency, durability and fineness making it synonymous to affluence and royalty attested by tradition. Not everybody can work with genuine bone china, most of it is done in England and few European countries but CSM general manager Manrique says that what makes their products unique is it is â€œgenuinely handmade.â€ </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Having an extensive experience in the ceramic industry along with business contacts both local and foreign established the family-owned business. â€œI was out of job after being an overseas Filipino worker for five years in Saudi Arabia and my age was already a hindrance in getting employed,â€ Manrique relates.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Now, they export their products worldwide with â€œanyone who can buy in volume be it wholesalers and retail stores.â€ Normally, one could expect ceramic plates and figurines but CSM maximized the use of bone china progressing into products that are truly unique and extraordinary. Their products made of bone china are formed into flowers like orchids, bamboo vases with birds, night light figurines and tea light candleholders, and various Christmas decor. Except for the flowers that are hand-painted, all CSM products are plain ivory white.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> Asked what the companyâ€™s marketing style is, Manrique replied: â€œItâ€™s a personal approach, knowing the buyers in a personal level, introducing the company and the products well. Participating in trade shows attract more buyers and improve visibility abroad.â€</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">At Manila F.A.M.E. International April 2009 edition, CSM showcased its world-class bone china products. â€œAlthough we are hit by the economic crisis, we plan to survive by maintaining the high degree of quality standard for bone china items,â€ he said.</span></p>
