Using Surf Theme Bedding To Deliver The Beach Into Your Home
One of the problems people face when they decide to makeover their bedroom is choosing a style. They simply don't know how to pick one. An option that most people don't consider but should is a vacation theme. All you have to do is pick your favorite vacation destination and decorate your bedroom accordingly. For example if you love the time you spend at the beach each summer, you should use surf board bedding and other beach themed decorating ideas to bring a little bit of the beach into your home.
To begin transforming your room, choose a new paint color for your walls. To keep the room feeling like a seaside retreat, think of the shades of the ocean or the sky. Cool blues or soft sea greens are good color choices for a relaxing feel. You could also use a neutral tan color similar to the color of sand to evoke a feeling of luxury.
Next you will want to consider you floor. One way of recreating the beach is by finding a soft rug that reminds you of the way the sand feels against your feet. You will want to use a rug that is a nice neutral shade, something sand colored is usually a good choice. The rug you choose can either be a wall to wall rug, or you can use a smaller area rug that is great for accenting and furniture grouping.
Since you are making over your bedroom, it is important to remember that the bed is going to be the focal point. It needs to be pushed into a prominent position and artfully arranged. The bedding you choose should be inviting, the kind that makes you want to spend all day under the covers. The bedding should also reflect your favorite aspect of the beach, such as surf bedding.
The little things that you use in your bedroom makeover are often what seems pull the whole thing together. A couple jars of seashells strategically placed all over the room create ambiance. A kite that you flew the last time you were at the beach will add touch of nostalgia to the makeover. Don't forget that shadow boxes are both a simple and elegant way to display photos and trinkets.
Last, but certainly not least is the addition of artwork to the bedroom. The artwork you choose is going to reflect your personal taste. Some people like to use posters or postcards. Others like to look at a seascape painting as the fall asleep. On thing you should defiantly consider is enlarging some of your favorite photos you have taken during your beach vacation and using them as your art.
When you have finished your Dean Miller surfer bedding makeover you will find yourself wondering why you put the project off for so long. The small things you've collected during your trips to the beach will complement your freshly painted walls and beach like carpet. Crawling into your surfing bedding each night is the perfect way to dream of the beach as you sleep.
New way to stop the bleeding (MIT)
MIT engineers have developed a nanoscale biological coating that can halt
bleeding nearly instantaneously, an advance that could dramatically improve
survival rates for soldiers injured in battle.
The researchers, led by Paula Hammond and funded by MIT’s Institute of Soldier
Nanotechnologies and a Denmark-based company, Ferrosan Medical Devices A/S,
created a spray coating that includes thrombin, a clotting agent found in
blood. Sponges coated with this material can be stored stably and easily
carried by soldiers or medical personnel. The sponges could also prove
valuable in civilian hospitals, says Hammond, the David H. Koch Professor in
Engineering.
“The ability to easily package the blood-clotting agent in this sponge system
is very appealing because you can pack them, store them and then pull them out
rapidly,” she says.
Hammond and her colleagues described the technology in the Dec. 27 online
edition of _Advanced Materials_. Lead author of the paper is Anita Shukla PhD
’11, who is now a postdoc at Rice University.
Uncontrolled bleeding is the leading cause of trauma death on the battlefield.
Traditional methods to halt bleeding, such as tourniquets, are not suitable
for the neck and many other parts of the body. In recent years, researchers
have ...
