Do you think that your home door knobs are just so plain and boring?

The Architectural Digest for instance featured unique door handles that will lend uniqueness and character to your home. Singapore Location

“Noting that doorknobs are often ‘the jewelry in a room,’ Suzanne Kasler sometimes likes to give them an unexpected finishing touch. The 1021 knob from Nanz offers plenty of room for experimentation, she says, because it can be ordered with inserts made of metal, wood, or a multitude of lacquered colors. ‘It looks beautiful in the metal finishes, but I love that it can also be lacquered any color,’ she says. ‘That detail of color would be such a special touch. You could do metal throughout the home and change to a lacquered color in just one room.’”

Pay attention to the Doggy Door

Why you should take notice of your doggie door

The doggie door can be very helpful for households with pets, but getting too lax about it may pose security risks in your own home.

The Website Concealed Nation for instance featured a story on a home intruder who barged in an unsuspecting home through the doggy door. SG24HrSingapore #1Locksmith

“The suspect, who is believed to have entered the home through a doggy door, was confronted by the homeowner after the homeowner arrived home to find items scattered around his home. Apparently carrying his firearm, the homeowner fired several shots at the suspect, hitting him multiple times. One of those shots hit the suspect in the head.”

Read the rest of the report here.

Another type of intruder

Animal Rescue Site meantime featured a different type of doggy door intruder.

“Forget about installing a doggy door! This clever tortoise, Jeffrey, doesn’t need any special contraptions to get inside the air-conditioned house. He might move a little slowly, but he’s discovered how to open the sliding glass door and amble inside to beat the heat, reports The Dodo. Unfortunately for the owners, Jeffrey hasn’t quite figured out how to close the door behind him, so the household may be stuck with some high electric bills in the future.”

Watch the video here.

The Independent Journal Review meantime featured a heart-warming story on doggy doors.

“Anderson enlisted the help of the park rangers, but could find no trace of her dog. The rangers warned Anderson that the preserve had a large population of coyotes, making it unlikely that Georgia would survive. Anderson didn’t give up hope. According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, she and her daughter made the 70-mile round trip from Carlsbad to Los Pensaquitos over and over, hoping to find Georgia. Little did they know that Georgia was already headed for home. Nine days after she went missing, Georgia let herself into the house through the doggy door and jumped into Anderson’s bed. She was thinner, covered in scratches, and very tired— but she was home.”

So do you have a doggy door at home?

When the lucky young man found this beautiful safe he finally managed to open it, and when he looked inside he was probably just as amazed as we were. Beautiful little pieces of the past from his dear grandfather. Every single piece tells a story”

Whether you are decorating for your own home, office, or commercial establishment that you own or work for, Christmas lights take the Holiday Celebrations a notch higher – and a lot happier looking.

Hometalk shares a great idea on how to make Christmas even more sparkly and happier through DIY Christmas Lighted Décor. Electricians

“I just love the glow of Christmas lights. The more the better in my book! So I decided to add more to my decor by making a lighted Christmas canvas with a special ‘Believe’ message.”

Know how to make a lighted Christmas Canvass here.

Light up!

The most common Christmas fixture in any establishment – be it a home, office, or a shop is the Christmas tree. And nothing could make it look livelier, and more joyful than Christmas lights!

Two Twenty One shared how to put on Christmas Lights to your tree. Builders and Contractors    

“It’s true. I have a system when it comes to putting lights on our Christmas tree. But just hear me out. Growing up, we would throw the tree up and wrap the lights around it. I would stand on one side and my mom would stand on the other, and we would loop the lights around the tree, encasing it in lights. Not until I was older did I grow to not really like that look. It just looks too messy to me. And the tree doesn’t glow like I think a Christmas tree should. Enter Martha Stewart. I was watching her show a few years back when she demonstrated how to put lights on a Christmas tree. Martha said that you should wrap each branch with lights. Eureka! Now, Martha demonstrated on a real tree, which would be more difficult to execute than the type of artificial tree we have.”

Check out her picture guide here.

Nothing however could be fancier than Christmas Lights Display.

The VeteransSite.Com lauded the effort of this family to put up a very patriotic Christmas lights display in their home.

The display is a tribute to our fallen soldiers, pulsing to a unique remix of Lee Greenwood’s “Proud to be an American”. Prepare to be amazed at the display, and grateful for our freedoms!”

All about Key Organizers

An assortment of keys

Never misplace a key anymore. (Photo Credits)

Keys are important in everyday life, but because it is often shrugged off, it usually gets misplaced. And losing keys usually happen right before you will need it.

And this is where key organizers come into play. Instructables.com says you do not have to shell out a lot of money to get one of your own, because you can make one yourself! “These are pretty cool right? What’s not cool is their price tag, so why not make one that is just as effective and durable for a fraction of the cost? This project in all of its entirety costs ~$6.80 (not including keys). That’s more than $38 dollars less than the name-brand key organizers! Today, I have the honor of showing you how to make your very own KeySmart/KeyBar/Key Organizer. It keeps your keys all organized, easy to use and take out, and no more key ‘jingle!’”

Check out the instructional guide here.

Lego-Inspired Key Organizer

Singapore Office Lifehacker.com meantime shared a step-by-step instructional in how to make a key organizer apt for Lego fans.

“Even though I have a “spot” for my keys and wallet, I still end up misplacing them. The LEGO organizer is a fun and convenient place to store all of your everyday carry things. A standard LEGO base plate is stuck to a wall, while bricks and plates attached to everyday items make them attachable to the mat—never to go missing again. Here’s how to make your own. This fun and colorful project is a great way to keep things organized and show your love for LEGO. LEGO purists beware: I had to modify the pieces to work with my idea!”

Check out the procedure here.

Youtube Channel Vat19 meantime featured a key organizer that will help eliminate the bulk of keys in your pocket. The Key Ninja organizes your keys like a Swiss Army knife, preventing them from becoming a huge wad of metal in your pocket. And despite its slim, half-inch thick silhouette, the Key Ninja can expand to fit up to 30 standard house keys. The handy tool also boasts built-in dual LED lights (so you can see your lock at night) and a bottle opener because you never know when a cold one might come your way. An included “S” hook ensures you can attach a larger key fob.”

Light Shows to See

Amazing Light Shows

The Magic of Light Shows. (Photo Credits)

Ask any kid or kid at heart if they would like to watch a light show and chances are they would want to watch one.

This star wars themed light show for instance was featured over at someecards.com. Builders and Contractors   

“Calling the crazy light show on this guy’s house “Christmas lights” is a bit of a stretch. It’s almost as if the holidays just happened to arrive as YouTuber Tom BetGeorge was put the finishing touches on his Star Wars Rock & Roll Light Show Extravaganza. Sure, there’s a large Christmas tree, but there’s also a drum kit in the driveway! The candy canes make sense, but look like they’ve been sidelined in order to make room for the giant, flaming guitar. The display has been featured twice on Good Morning America, as part of a contest called “The Great Christmas Light Fight,” but it could just as easily been a story about a technically gifted music fan who has lost the plot when it comes to both Christmas and Star Wars. Nice to look at, though.”

Watch the video here.

Let it go

Rare.US meantime featured this house that exhibited a frozen-themed light show as their house Christmas display. “One family from Austin, Texas wants everyone to ‘Let It Go’ this Christmas. The Storms, who have been putting together elaborate light shows since 2010, decided to go with the Frozen theme this year…It took three weekends to set up the more than 25,000 lights, but according to the Storms, it was well worth it.”

Check out the video here.

This wedding cake featured over at ViralNova.com meantime gives way to an amazing light show. “Disney is taking wedding cakes to a magical new level by creating interactive cakes that recount classic Disney tales. They achieve these amazing results with the help of projection mapping. In layman’s terms, that means lighted images are projected onto a white wedding cake. The animation appears to scroll down the tiers, adding a whimsical, oh-so-Disney touch to the celebration.” Electricians
