It is the unique designs and luxurious facilities that make this majestic mansion in Avinissery in Thrissur stand out. The contemporary features of this house arent merely used as design elements but have utility as well. The mesmerizing designs of the structure play a significant role in making the interiors extremely beautiful and pleasant. The ventilations are built to receive the south western cool breeze and lots of warm sunshine as well.

The projected sunshades block the heat from entering the house. Smart design features like this are what make this house an amazing abode. The elevation is designed elaborately and equal importance has been given to landscaping as well. The tropical style landscape is indeed the highlight that projects the scintillating beauty of the elevation.

As there is an abundant supply of sunlight, the ventilations are arranged in a way which prevents the heat from entering the interiors. The sun shades are built on the side where there are lots of openings. The windows are installed as if they are arranged within boxes or frames. The grill works and the patio are visible on the elevation itself. The mintos and the walls are arranged after that.

The interiors stand out for the various design forms. The luxurious dcor add a regal charm to the interior spaces. The entrance door opens to the foyer space. The formal living room is to the left side of the foyer. Tiles that have a unique antique look are paved on the floor here.

It is the stunning partition wall on the right side of the foyer that draws instant attention. This beautiful wall features CNC works and High Pressure Laminates (HPL) as well. The elegance of veneer could be seen on all the wooden elements in the house. The windows and doors are made using teak wood.

The dining area and the family living area are arranged as a single module. However, a partition wall separates these spaces. This partition wall that includes a book rack, shelf, a coffee table and a TV unit also acts a design element. One could enjoy the beautiful patio from the family living area through the openings.

There is a patio to the right side of the dining area as well. Besides the openings, the louvers and strips too are the eye catching features of the interiors. The louvers are enhanced with aluminum powder coating. Meanwhile, the wooden frame lends classy look to the oval shaped louvers.

The prayer area is arranged on the left side of the passage that begins from the foyer. The custom made sliding door here stands out for its unique design. It is quite evident from its design that an industrial theme has been followed here. The U shaped stairway features the elegance of steel. Besides, it has been enhanced by installing MS bent in the shape of 7. The stairway leads to an upper storey bridge. This bridge has open spaces on both the sides.

Besides a living area, there are three bedrooms in the upper storey. All the 5 bedrooms are designed, making sure that lots of sunshine and cool breeze enter the rooms. The walk in wardrobes are arranged for storage. The bathrooms are designed based on the antique theme.

The chic designs of the kitchen make it an elegant space. A breakfast table too has been arranged as part of the kitchen. The pleasant shade of teal breaks the monotony here. Meanwhile, nano white is paved on the counter top. The shutters of the cabinets are made in veneer with PU finish.

Every dcor, design element and equipments in this house are noted for its incredible detailing and utility. The toughened glasses and grill designs makes both the interiors and the exteriors of this house amazingly beautiful. The family is thrilled and proud that they got the mansion of their dreams.

Modern Living with kathy ireland is pleased to announce an exclusive interview with Tidy Ideas Founder/President Vernon Nolan and CEO Christopher Guerrera to discuss their revolutionary new way to keep homes and cars trash-free.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) December 18, 2019

Modern Living with kathy ireland is pleased to announce an exclusive interview with Tidy Ideas Founder/President Vernon Nolan and CEO Christopher Guerrera to discuss their revolutionary new way to keep homes and cars trash-free.

Tidy Ideas is a company that has developed Tidy Hook, which is a revolutionary new way to keep your home and car clean. Whether used in the home or car, installation is quick and easy and there are no tools required.

Guerrera says that Tidy Hook is an innovative solution for keeping a car clean that has never been done before. He explains, "It's a new way of storing products in your vehicle. If you're a driver, we have a solution to trash in your car or even a new compartment for storage in your car. It's one-of-a-kind, it sits on the side of the seat so it's easy access for a driver. It's symmetrical too, so you can put it on the driver's side or the passenger's side. It's really convenient. It sits in the center so people in the backseat have no problem with storage. As a driver, you get distracted with all the things going on today -- phones, cars, changing lanes, radios. Tidy Hook is in a place where you can keep your eyes on the road and really easily take your coffee cup or water bottle and place it right in the bag. It really helps keep you focused on driving."

In addition to Tidy Hook for cars, Tidy Ideas has also come up with Tidy Hook for homes, which can be placed on cabinet knobs, cabinet handles, door knobs, grills, patio doors, closet rods or in bathrooms to give more storage and an easily-accessible trash bag during cooking, parties or more.

FERMANAGH has once again been the target of a series of burglaries and thefts. This week there are reports of crime across the county in both towns and remote rural areas.

In the Drumbawn area of Enniskillen unoccupied properties were targeted on Sunday.

A Police spokesman outlined, Police received a report of a burglary in progress at an unoccupied house at Drumbawn Close at around 5am on Sunday 15th December.

Officers attended immediately to find the patio doors smashed and flooding inside the house but no-one present at the scene. A copper water tank and pipework had been removed. Whilst in attendance officers noted damage to the house next door which was also unoccupied and found again that a copper tank and pipes had been removed. The stolen equipment was found nearby and seized by officers.

Across the county on Sunday on Main Street in Lack a home was burgled.

The Police spokesman added, It is believed that entry was gained to the house sometime around 6pm on Sunday evening with a sum of money reported stolen.

Police shared details of a Silver Audi A5 which was involved in burglaries in north Fermanagh on Sunday. Four to five male occupants were in the vehicle. Police urged locals to keep their eyes peeled in the weeks ahead as they deemed it likely the vehicle would return. Police also warned the registration plate changes regularly.

UUPs Rosemary Barton said she had been made aware of burglaries in Kesh, Ederney and Lack on Sunday evening.

It appears there was significant delay before the PSNI attended the incidents, the difficulty with the reaction time would appear to be the shortage of police personnel.

Mrs Barton called from an urgent review of policing numbers and the management of police officers time and priorities.

Further reports of alleged thefts in Newtownbutler and Lisnaskea have been shared.

A community association in Lisnaskea has urged locals to make sure doors are locked and keep an eye out for neighbours after it was claimed a home in the Carrowshee area was broken into on Wednesday last.

Local people also shared details of the alleged theft of a 14 foot trailer in the Newtownbutler area on Thursday night.

Anyone with information regarding crime should contact Police on 101.
