Hi Thien Trang
hello Dan Tam, how are you?
I am very good, thank you
you know, I received a question from a viewer last week
asking if she should re-use her furniture from the old house for the new house
of course you can only if they're still in good shape
especially the frame has to be in good condition
you can also re-upholster your chair
if you don't mind looking at your old furniture
you can pair it with a new coffee table, decoration of pictures and new color on the walls
by doing that, you've created a new space by using your old furniture
I can help you on that
but I need you to send the picture of your space to me
Dan Tam and I will take a look at it and give you some decoration ideas
yes, Trang can draw it out and show it on the next show
so that you can see how your space will look like
Trang, like you said, you can change the fabric of the pillows on the sofa to give your sofa a face-lift
you can also add window curtains in your new home
that's way you will not recognize your old sofa in your new space
also the size of the furniture needs to be proportion with the new space
if your new house is larger than your old house
your old furniture might not be the right size for the new space
but if the size of the old furniture fits the new space
so why not use them
today in the show, we will bring to you these topics
first, we will give you all the information you need to know about some of the design's events that you might be interested
we will then share with you some of the very cute and modern planters for your front and back yards
last, we talk about sustainable design
designs that environmental friendly
before we show you those cute planters
there are some events that are going on right now and I think you should check it out if you can
there is an event in Cape May; New Jersey is called Cape May Designers House
which is going on right now until the end of October
there is self guide tour to visit beautiful condos at that location
some of those condos are up to 2.2 million dollars
you can check out those condos as well as the area around it
the self guide tour is daily from 1pm to 4pm
if you prefer a guided tour, there is the afternoon tour at 7pm on Thursday, Friday, Sunday and Monday
I really like to visit this kind of tour
I think people who are in the interior design field would be very interested about this tour
for me, when I go there, I pick up many small ideas about interior decoration
some of the decoration might be over your budget
but you can always get inspired by them
yes, you can get inspired by simple decorations such as the candle, or the way they hang the pictures
the next event I want to share with you especially for those you like photography and architecture
I know that Hung Phan from Techtivi show will be interested because he really likes taking picture
this event displays more than 100 pictures of architecture at Washington Design Center and Dodge-Chrome
there are photograph of interior spaces and architectures, indoor and outdoor from many famous photographers
this event opens on October 21st
main photographers are Morgan Howarth, Eric Taylor, Jeff Wolfram and many more
among the show’s highlights is the iconic photograph of the Beatles' first U.S. concert in Washington, D.C
the Beatles is a very famous band, so that's why it first show is the hightlight of the event
this event is at Washington Design Center at 300 D St. SW. Washington, DC 20024
more information can be found at www.dcdesignceter.com
if you are in Washington DC, there is another event for you to check out
it is the Dream House 2011: Jewel Tones of Design
these are interior designs inspired by jewelries
I think most of the female will like this one
they ask 8 interior designers to design the house base on the jewelry that they're given
7 jewelry shops and 1 jewelry designer had selected and donated 8 pieces of jewelry for the interior designers
sometimes an object can inspires designers to create a beautiful space
this event has started and continued until December 9th from Monday to Friday 9am-5pm
I think if you live close to the area; you should definitely check it out
so there are two events at the Washington Design Center this October
another event is the Modernism through the Ages
for those who loves moderns and contemporary designs
these are interior designs for your home
this event is in San Francisco in October 7, 8, 9, 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, and 23
they open on Friday's night from 6pm to 9pm and 10am to 4pm on Saturday and Sunday
