The Aquaracer, one of TAG’s leading watches, has been on the market for several years. The Aquaracer series is a top-of-the-line, high-class, professional marine sports watch. Numerous modifications have been made to the original design and various features have been added to adapt to changing market needs. However, it has retained its unique and elegant design.

To familiarize you with the TAG Heuer Aquaracer series, let me introduce you to one of the best creations in the series, the TAG Heuer Men’s WAF1110.BA0800 2000 Aquaracer Quartz Watch. This is one of the company’s best releases. It’s a high-class dive watch with performance you can trust. It has an elegant and sophisticated navy blue color.

The dial window material is made of anti-reflective scratch resistant sapphire. It has a calendar date function at the 3 o’clock position, like most watches. The case as well as the bezel are made of brushed and polished stainless steel. The bezel has unidirectional function. The case is 38.4mm in diameter and about 10mm thick. The band, which is also stainless steel, is 20mm wide. It weighs about 1.8 pounds and is waterproof to depths of 984 feet. The bracelet is made of a very resistant material and has an invisible double safety clasp that locks it in place.

It can be used over a diving suit due to its extension. This watch has the world-renowned Swiss quartz movement that is trusted, copied and admired around the world. The hands, the bezel case and the indices are luminescent. The yellow seconds hand also has an additional coating on the tip.

Farmhouse decorating is often referred to as a “rustic” decorating style and can be created whether you live in a cabin-style home, a mountain retreat, or a modern city apartment. Your home is your castle and you can create the look and feel of a country house no matter where you live.

Cottage-style homes are often made of stone or logs and offer a comfortable “home” feel and are typically simple, charming, and unassuming in their decorating style. You’ll want to incorporate the use of stone and natural woods, such as pine, which can be unfinished, aged, weathered, and hand-painted with designs such as birds, animals, country landscapes, flowers, or leaves.

Rustic country decor is all about handmade objects and furniture that connect with nature. Rustic country decor can begin in the kitchen with a large, weathered, distressed rectangular pine table along with ladder-back chairs. Antique wrought iron or metal tabletop chandeliers are suitable for lighting rustic decor, as well as for hurricane and oil or kerosene lamps.

Vintage hardware in wrought iron or metal is a great idea for decorating a country house and is available in many different styles and finishes. Use cabinets and cupboards with open shelving and dish racks to display colorful plates and dinnerware collections in earth tones, off-white or blues and greens, glazed earthenware and glass jars.

Add a rustic butcher island and copper or cast iron pots and pans with clean lines. Another popular farmhouse idea is to stencil decor themes like roosters, hens, apples, or cows onto vintage wooden shelves, the wall trim, or a rocking chair in the corner of the room. Use lots of baskets to store fire logs, pinecones, and sewing.

Country-style living rooms start with bare or waxed hardwood floors or stone materials combined with floor coverings like wool oriental rugs for warmth and texture. Add a warm bedspread or “throw” on the sofa, stencils on the walls, and flower and wreath decorations.

Gingham patterns create a country home feel and can be used for window treatments, dining chairs, upholstery and wallpaper. Wreaths make a cute rustic decoration for a wall or door and can be found in many colors and materials such as pine or boughs. You can make your own by shopping at craft supply stores and choosing from many different color schemes.

Add rocking chairs, Adirondack chairs, trunks, chests, and vintage or reproduction furniture. You can find cheap, inexpensive antique furniture at yard and garage sales, flea markets, thrift stores, and consignment stores.

The country style bathroom will feature a Clawfoot tub and pedestal sink with antique brass faucets and vintage rustic cabinets and hardware. Use plenty of baskets to store your towels, loofahs, and shampoos. Your country-style bathroom should create an atmosphere of calm and serenity. Don’t forget the candles for a calming and relaxing bath after a long day.

Rustic farmhouse or cabin decor includes items that are more simple, personal, comfortable, warm and inviting and can be created to express your personality no matter where your home is located.

You’ve made the decision to sell your home and you want to make a great impression on potential buyers. There are some simple and inexpensive things you can do around your home to prepare for that all-important first impression. The same information applies to rental property if you hope to attract tenants.

Are the outlet plates old? Is it the light switch covers? Or worse yet, are they painted? White or off-white plastic covers are about 50 cents each. You can replace an entire house for $20 – $30. If you have a little more money to spend on your makeover, shop for shiny brass countertops for the living room and foyer. If you can afford to do the whole house, consider adding the master bedroom to the list. At about $5 each, brass covers add a lot of class for a small amount of cash.

Are the interior doors basic brown hollow core doors? Consider replacing them with nice white doors. You can paint your existing doors, but it will take about three coats of paint to adequately cover the brown siding, so it may be worth spending the money on new doors. A pre-assembled and pre-primed hollow core door will cost about $20. Also consider replacing any door knobs or handles, especially if they are old, worn, or painted. A nice brass-finish doorknob will cost around $10. S-shaped handles add so much class and are only around $20 each.

The walls look pretty good, so you’ve decided not to paint. Paint the trim at least. Most rentals and modern homes have off-white walls with white trim. Use a semi-gloss paint for trim around doors, windows, and on floorboards. If your floor boards are worn, you can get prepainted foam molding at any DIY store for about 50 cents per linear foot. Consider adding crown molding at least in the living room and entryway.

As the old saying goes, you only get one chance to make a good first impression. Think of the front door, which is the first thing people will notice. If your front door is cheap and old, the property will look the same. If the door is heavy, paint it a bright color with high-gloss paint. If you have to replace your front door, a new one will cost around $125 and the return on investment will be well worth it.

Is the entryway or hallway covered in linoleum? Consider replacing it with Mexican tile. An 8 x 8 area will only cost about $100 in materials.

One that is often forgotten or overlooked is the bathroom. Hang up a new shower curtain. Replace the old shower rod. Use new shower hooks. A nice shower curtain makes the bathroom look more finished and will only cost about $40. Again, that’s not a lot of money for a lot of class.

Most Americans spend most of their time in the kitchen if they are not watching TV or sleeping. Take a look at the kitchen cabinets. Is it the dark woods from the 70’s? Are they scratched? Worth? Ancient? Just ugly? paint them Don’t worry about painting the inside of cabinets unless you have a spray gun. Paint the cabinet doors and trim with a semi-gloss paint and swap out the knobs for nice plastic ones. Putting a good faucet also makes a good first impression in the kitchen. They’ll cost around $150, but if you look at the newspapers and flyers, DIY centers will frequently hold sales on overstocked merchandise.

Following these few tips and spending a little money can mean the difference between selling your house quickly or renting it quickly.

Dive watches can be quite a burden on the wallet if you don’t know what you’re looking for. Fortunately for those of us who want to keep our wallets happy, Invicta is here to save the day with their Invicta 8932 Pro Diver watch. It’s going to save the day because it really is a high quality watch at a very low price (if you buy it online)… So why is it so good? Let’s take a look.

I could start by talking about the bad parts of the watch. Now these are pretty minor complaints and if they were fixed we would be looking to pay a lot more than we are paying now. But anyway, the biggest flaw this watch has is the dial. It is made of ore, not sapphire. This means that the dial can be scratched a bit more easily; compared to a sapphire dial which is almost impossible to scratch unless you have some diamonds lying around…

The second flaw is more of an annoyance, it has to do with the size of the adjustment knob on the side of the watch. It sticks out a bit too much and some people have complained that it sticks to their wrist. This has never really been a problem for me, but usually my watches adjust a bit. Either way, it’s something to think about.

Now onto the good parts of the watch. The Japanese quartz movement is reliable and very precise. Again, although not top of the line, Swiss quartz is better; but we’re not paying $300 here, right? You really shouldn’t notice any major gains or losses over time. In any case, maybe gain or lose 10-15 seconds per week, very acceptable.

The band and clasp are made of high quality stainless steel. The clasp is strong and won’t accidentally come loose and the band has a nice brushed finish that looks good and helps with scratches.

One of the best parts of the watch is the coin-edged bezel. If you are a diver I would recommend buying this model of the Invicta 8932 c watch as the coin edge bezel is much easier to grip and use when you are in the water. It moves smoothly and is very precise, you won’t have any problems with it. Additionally, the watch is water resistant to a depth of 660 feet, earning it the title of a professional diver’s watch.

When preparing for a kitchen remodeling project, homeowners should consider all of the elements that they would like to change. This includes colors, lighting, countertops, sinks, floors, walls, appliances, cabinets, and backsplashes. Since there is a lot to digest, it is a project that should not be decided quickly. Some homeowners prefer to enlist the help of a home remodeling company to help with interior design; others prefer to make most decisions on their own and then hire a professional to do the job. Here are some of the choices homeowners can make to transform their kitchens into a place they love and a place they love to spend time in every day.

colors
While many people prefer a bright and cheery kitchen environment, the calm attitude of earth tones or soft pastels are also popular. White is making a comeback in many modern kitchen remodeling projects. Colors and materials should be chosen for the walls, floor, ceiling, backsplashes, countertops, appliances, window treatments, cabinetry, and additional accents and decorations. The type of materials used will often dictate the color scheme, and how well the various pieces work together should be considered when making selections.

countertops
The countertop is typically used for meal prep, but it sets a backdrop for the overall tone of the kitchen. Popular choices for today’s modern kitchens tend to be natural stone, ceramic, stainless steel, and natural or faux wood finishes. How easy it is to clean and maintain, how it will be used, and its height are all important considerations for practical use. Countertops should be coordinated with the sink and backsplashes in fit, material, and color.

Turning on
It is easier for cooks to see what they are doing and to do it well when there is sufficient lighting. Certain areas of the kitchen should have additional or focused lighting, such as cooking surfaces, shopping and meal prep centers, and the sink. Separate lighting for various activities is useful for a larger kitchen, and dimmer switches are appropriate for the eat-in kitchen.

accessories
The size and capacity of the oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave, freezer, and other kitchen appliances are important to the operation of a kitchen. The color must coordinate with the other decoration and allow for maximum speed and quality in firing. This is a great time for homeowners to choose between electric and gas appliances and update outdated plumbing and electrical wiring, regardless of the type of appliances they choose.

window treatment
The use of natural light has a great effect on the room throughout the day. Window treatments can be sheer or heavy, drawn or open, depending on how the rest of the room looks. Window treatments should tie the room together and provide privacy as needed.

flat
The type of flooring installed in a home remodeling project largely depends on the amount of traffic the room sees. Wooden floors, natural stone, laminate and tiles are all possibilities. The amount of time and effort spent maintaining shine is an important feature for many homeowners, especially those who do their own cleaning.

Once the main elements of the project have been chosen, the home remodeling contractor can help the homeowner carefully choose the detailed pieces. Staying within budget and completing the project on time are important to the success of your home renovation.

In this article I will tell you how you can get a high-end kitchen and save thousands of euros!

The most common way to shop for a high-end kitchen is the same old routine of visiting a showroom, running into your enthusiastic kitchen salesman over their free coffee. Once you’re out of the way, it’s time to choose the kitchen you really want. From the traditional Shaker style kitchen to a modern luxury gloss white kitchen, hundreds of designs and finishes to choose from! Quite a stressful and time-consuming scenario, causing you to hand over a check for £20,000 and walk off hoping everything will go according to plan.

Step 1 – Spend £2000 – £5000 on the cabinets. How? I would advise finding a local bespoke furniture manufacturer. They may seem a little less professional, but they will certainly be more skilled and knowledgeable than an independent kitchen showroom salesperson. Always ask to see their work and an advantage would be that they are handmade and available to measure. Tell them what you want and get a price and time scale.

Step 2 – Spend £700 – £1200 on kitchen doors and kitchen drawer fronts. How? Look online or visit a local mall for your kitchen doors and kitchen drawer fronts. They will be of the same quality as the kitchen doors in the showrooms. There will also be a wider range of options allowing you to get the exact design and finish you want.

Step 3 – Spend £1000 – £2000 on appliances. How? Again, look online for your appliances, you’ll find them much cheaper than the showroom sticker price. Alternatively, visit a local appliance center to see exactly what you’re buying in the ‘meat’.

Step 4 – Spend £50 – £1000 on handles and knobs. How? Probably the most important purchase you will make to achieve the look of your luxury kitchen. Handles can complete the look and make your kitchen stand out from the rest. Try searching online for handle manufacturers and don’t be afraid to import from abroad.

Step 5 – Spend £2,000 – £5,000 on work surfaces. How? Definitely buy your countertop directly from the manufacturer. Granite is the best option. Try searching the internet for commercial granite suppliers or take a look at your local yellow pages.

Step 6 – Spend £1000 – £2000 on installation. How? Ask for recommended local Carpenters. If they are fully qualified and genuine, you will find that they will already be booked for a couple of weeks.

kitchen design ideas –

Are you designing your kitchen?

A kitchen is the headquarters of the family. The kitchen is often the showcase of the home, yet it is required to function well for a wide variety of tasks. A well-equipped and beautifully dressed kitchen will provide both a sense of well-being and a favorite spot in the home. When planning your new kitchen, you need to consider both utility and appearance.

Kitchen design ideas: choose the one that suits you best!

When coming up with ideas to design your kitchen, you can consider one part of the kitchen at a time or choose an entire theme. A complete theme could be something like a Feng Shui based design that incorporates all of its principles. Feng shui refers to the art of placement and could help you organize your kitchen in a way that enhances its good energy. For example, according to feng shui, the cook’s back should never face the kitchen entrance, so he should design accordingly.

Now, the other way around, you could choose a particular look for your kitchen floor, walls, storage place, etc. This can be done in a number of ways depending on the amount of money you are willing to spend, the design of the kitchen, and your taste. Here are some specific design ideas for your kitchen:

*Kitchen floor: the choice of floor is important, as it will set the tone for the entire kitchen. The quality of the floor texture always attracts the eye and has a radical effect on the way one perceives the room as a whole. For kitchens, the two most elegant floors are tile/stone and laminate or wood flooring. Ceramic tile is a premium product for a kitchen and is a stunning upgrade over any other flooring. The only disadvantage is the feeling of cold. However, if you wish, you can also opt for an underfloor heating system.

* Kitchen Countertops – When choosing your countertop, select a color and texture that complements your choice of cabinets, flooring, or paint. Don’t be afraid to combine two or more countertop materials. Complementary colors and textures on adjacent surfaces create visual interest. Also remember that it pays to select a material that will withstand years of use without extraordinary maintenance requirements and that is easily repairable in the event of an accident. Granite and marble are solid choices.

* Kitchen lighting: You may have a large ceiling light, equipped with energy-saving fluorescent tubes that provide plenty of well-diffused general lighting. However, you can leave it working in its own shadow on the sink, stove, and countertops. These areas of your kitchen need additional lighting. Also placing your windows is a tough question.

kitchen layout –

the perfect arrangement

Kitchen design is highly subjective, so a design that might be perfect for one person may be disastrous for another. This is mainly because people’s tastes and ways in terms of work habits and styles are very different. Therefore, kitchen designs must be made according to the needs and specifications of the main user of the space, who has definite ideas about how he would like his workspace to be. But aside from this subjective perspective, there are certain steps you need to take when designing your kitchen floor plan or layout. Following are the stages –

Stages in the design of the kitchen

Follow these simple steps to get your kitchen space put to good use while looking desirable.

1. Measure your kitchen in detail, the position of doors, windows, electrical points, drains and sinks, etc.

2. Demarcate the kitchen areas into three – Storage, cooking and cleaning. Plan the space with these three aspects in mind.

3. Make a list of the appliances you are likely to use in the kitchen and arrange them according to their dimensions.

Keep these three points in mind and then design your kitchen in a style that suits your tastes. The following are some of the stereotypical kitchen layout designs that are used:

Kitchen Design Layouts – Types

These are the 4 basic kitchen designs that are generally followed when designing a kitchen:

1. Layout of the corridor – it is intended for a narrow kitchen, where there are two rows facing each other. One for storage and one for cleaning and cooking. Make sure there is a minimum gap of 1200mm between the two rows.

2. L-Shaped Layout – This is a layout where the rows are diagonal to each other, thus forming an L-shape. This puts the kitchen workspace in the corner, thus giving plenty of free space for move.

3. U-shaped design: This is the best option for small kitchens and also very convenient.

4. Island Design – This one, on the other hand, is meant for large kitchens. Here, the cooktop is a completely different box unit, while the L-shaped row is for the sink and storage.

These are the different ways you can plan your kitchen design and also make changes and modifications according to your preferences.

While factory-made RVs and RVs are popular, you’ll find plenty of bus conversions for sale on the market. This is because a portion of buyers is skewed towards this category, and for good reason. Old and dilapidated city and school buses may not seem like much at first, but you can easily transform them into comfortable living spaces. There is something personal and intimate about owning a bus conversion, customized to your requirements. Turning these compact RVs into a cozy haven is easy, and full-time RV users can make life on the road more comfortable with the following features:

brighter interiors

Keep interiors bright and white. Not only does this provide a cleaner aesthetic, but it also helps to easily separate your living space from the kitchen. In addition, it gives the illusion of more space and lifts the mood of the passengers.

Useful changes in the kitchen area

Add plenty of shelves and cabinets to the kitchen walls for easier storage of food and produce. You can also install hooks to hang towels and cleaning rags. If you’re adding a counter to the kitchen, be sure to make the most of the available space by installing a dishwasher in the lower half and a gas burner on top. If there is more than one counter, you can add other useful appliances like freezers and sinks.

Add more space for your storage needs

When you plan to live in a converted bus full time, you can never have enough space for storage. You need to be creative and find new ways to store your stuff. For example, if you have a sofa in the living room, you can turn the armrest into vertical storage while the bottom offers horizontal storage. Not only is this an inexpensive solution, but it also helps keep your trash out of sight.

The space under the sofa seat offers enough space to store electrical equipment and batteries.

The more space you save, the more modifications you can make to the inside of your computer. For example, using the sofa spaces to the maximum allows you to install a large door in the middle of the bus, which allows fresh air and light to enter the platform.

Build a pet-friendly workstation

You can set up a workstation in the front of your vehicle. The desk should be a decent size that allows you to stand up and work. If you have a pet dog on board, you can add a kennel under the workstation. This means that your pet can keep you company while you go about your business.

focus on the bathroom

A full-time RV-er will require a spacious bathroom. Add storage space to the door to keep your essentials close at hand, like toothbrushes, pastes, lotions and shampoos. If you have enough space in the bathroom, install a bathtub and place the shower head right above it. Getting ready in the morning will be easier if you put a mirror over the door.

Eager to buy that bus conversion you saw on sale the other day? Go for it! Though not your first choice, but if the life of a full-time RV-er appeals to you, then you’re in for a treat. Bus conversions offer more flexibility than conventional motorhomes and you can customize the vehicle to your requirements.

When undertaking the task of kitchen remodeling, there are a number of items that need to be considered to ensure that you get a functional yet beautiful kitchen. The following article will discuss the various elements that need to be focused on when undertaking kitchen remodeling.

Cabinets are the most important aspect of any kitchen. There is an overwhelming availability of choice when selecting kitchen cabinets; therefore, the right choice must be made. The cabinet design will be a statement of the type of look you want to achieve for your kitchen. It must fit according to the type of decoration you want to opt for. Within the kitchen remodel, the layout of the cabinets and drawers must be perfect so that you can achieve the look that you want. Some popular options to select from when remodeling your kitchen include Art Deco, Early American, Cottage, Mid-century, Modern, Victorian, Retro, and many more. The cabinet doors, which you have selected for your kitchen remodel, also have a role to play. You can select between those with frames or those without. If you want to go for a more classic look for your kitchen remodeling idea, then framed cabinets would be a better choice as their wooden frame can be seen from the outside. Frameless cabinet doors are more of an Italian design, so whatever option you choose, make sure it matches the overall look.

The color that enters any room can create a great atmosphere and vibrate or it can cause the look of the room to be completely damaged. Therefore, the color you choose for kitchen remodeling is a very important factor. Along with color, the wood you select will also have an impact on the overall outcome of your kitchen remodeling project. Depending on the type of wood you select, other finishing touches could enhance the look of your kitchen. Oak, for example, would give your kitchen a dramatic look as it is dark in colour, has thick grain and gives it a bold look. Cherry, on the other hand, has medium grains and is available in warmer, richer shades. Most people tend to go for maple as it gives the kitchen a sophisticated look due to its lighter tones and even grain. Maple is also better at absorbing stains, which is why cabinets made from this wood are found in numerous finishes.

In addition to focusing on cabinets, you’ll also need to decide where you’ll put your kitchen cabinets during your remodel. The best way to create more space is to simply maximize what you already have instead of finding more space. By doing so, you won’t even have to worry about changing your kitchen design during your kitchen remodel. If you want more space, buy easily available shelves in the market. These can be placed anywhere in the kitchen and the items placed on them would be easily accessible and in sight. This would also be a good way to keep your items more organized. Aside from shelves, you could have pull-outs installed inside your existing cabinets. These would be supported with the help of ball bearing guides. Since the cabinets contain vertical slots, it allows you to make the most of the space inside the cabinet. Cabinets come in all shapes and sizes and different designs can be found to suit everyone’s requirements. Cabinets add convenience to any kitchen, so they should be given some attention during kitchen remodeling.

It’s time to remodel your kitchen and if you’re like most people, you want your new kitchen to look beautiful but also to function properly.

You’ve probably thought about what kind of cabinets, countertops, flooring, lighting, and appliances you want, but this is just the starting point. In order to have a well-designed kitchen that meets the needs of your home, your kitchen must function properly and have adequate storage.

My favorite place to start when designing a kitchen is with storage! It sounds boring at first glance, but believe me, a designer who cares about the proper placement of his kitchen essentials is worth his weight in gold.

So how do you determine the right amount of storage for your space? Let’s start with some basic concepts.

There are three sizes of kitchens defined by the National Kitchen and Bath Association. There are small, medium and large.

The small kitchen consists of less than 150 square feet. The medium kitchen starts at 151 square feet and goes up to 350 square feet. While the large kitchen is defined as a space greater than 350 square feet.

The first step in designing a kitchen with the right storage is to figure out what size kitchen you have. Each kitchen size has its own set of guidelines set forth by the NKBA to ensure the proper amount of storage is accounted for.

Is that how it works. A designer will take the overall layout of a kitchen and break it down by cabinet front. Each cabinet can be calculated as follows.

Cabinet width in inches x number of shelves and drawers x depth of cabinet feet = front of shelf and drawer.

A small kitchen requires 1,400″ of shelf/drawer frontage. A medium kitchen clocks in at 1,700″ while a large kitchen requires 2,000″.

Once you know the amount of frontage required, you can determine how many cabinets are needed in your layout to give the space the adequate storage it needs to function.

When determining which cabinets to use, not all cabinets are created equal. There are cabinets for pots, pans, utensils, cookie sheets, dry goods, trash cans, appliances, lids, chemicals, and food. If it belongs in the kitchen, you can guarantee there is a cabinet or cabinet accessory designed specifically to house it.

After determining how many cabinets will best fit the square footage you have to work with, you need to look at each cabinet and what it will hold. This is a very important step in the design process that is often overlooked. Many professional remodeling companies will install basic cabinets to fit the space without delving into what will actually be stored in each cabinet. A cookie sheet cabinet, often called a cookie sheet divider cabinet, will be of little use if it’s far from the stove, while a pull-out trash can will lose its effectiveness if it’s out of reach of the sink.

Then there are guidelines specifically related to storage near the sink. The sink is one of (if not the most) important elements and work areas in the kitchen. NKBA guidelines state that a small kitchen must have 400″ of storage space within 72″ of the primary cleanup/prep sink. A medium kitchen should be 480″ and a large kitchen 560″.

Simply put, a kitchen can’t just be designed to look, it must also be designed to function.

A proper kitchen should have storage for every item used and will work best if the NKBA guidelines are followed.
