Diamond Faucet for your Bath

This faucet is so much better than the Swarovski crystal toilet I wrote about in January.  For starters the Oz faucet is made of white gold and over 10 carats of diamonds.  If that doesn’t impress you, then the clean lines will.

The Oz Diamond Edition Collection from Teknobili, designed by architect Nilo Giaocchini, was reproduced by master jeweler Professor Alberto Cotogno with 282 VVS diamonds.  This handle is available on both the lavatory and bidet faucet.

Hunter Fan Illumi-Heat

hunter-fan.jpgThis might look like an typical ceiling mounted light fixture, but this new light fixture from Hunter Fan Company actually contains a heating element.

The Illumi-Heat Fixture has a 700-watt ceramic heating element that can be used in bathrooms, mudroom, or any small room that could use some extra heat. 

Operated by remote control, the heating element can raise the temperature of a 215 sq. ft. room 5 degrees in an hour.  When you don’t need the extra heat, the fixture operates as a any other normal light fixture.

This is such a great product.  I’ve been in many homes that could use this very fixture.

Exotic Hardwood Floor

Exotic Hardwood Flooring | KitchAnn StyleA great way to make a room a showcase is to install exotic wood flooring.
According to Shannon, who blogs at Floor Talk! exotic wood floors will set your home apart from others that have more traditional wood flooring.
Over 60 species of exotic woods exists around the world.  Popular flooring choices include Santos, Mahogany, Brazilian Walnut, Tiete Rosewood, Brazilian Teak and Amendoim.  The flooring is available solid or engineered.
Like any unique flooring or design purchase, be sure to view or request several different samples to see the range of color and grain in the floor. These natural characteristics are part of what makes the item exotic.

Also make sure you understand how hard your wood floor will be.  Many people are under the misguided notion that hardwood floors will not dent under heavy pressure.
