Fire Burning in the Living Room

I may be irrevocably in love with this fire table by Planika Fires. Can you imagine this on a cool fall night? Or maybe instead of candles on date night? I think adding a table top fountain nearby would be perfect. They have outdoor models too, all modern and gorgeous and wish list worthy!

According to Planika Fires, they use a special liquid FANOLA®. The fire is free of smoke or smell and is a biologically clean product of plant origin. Only water vapour and CO2 are emitted - in proportions similar to those contained in the air exhaled by humans.

Their website states "FANOLA®, burning in Planika Fires as well as in other equipment with open fire requires a regular provision of air (room ventilation system in a good working condition). In apartment conditions (with small cubic capacity) a slightly opened window will do."

All I can say is DO WANT!!!

Considering a Change to Swedish

I've been considering changing the colors/decor in my living room recently. Of course, being unemployed means I need to do this on the cheap (or postpone it). I certainly don't want to postpone it... so I'm hoping I can figure out some cheapy ways to get what I want. I'm thinking spending money on just some couch covers (my current couches are black Ikea couches)

ANYWAY... Looks like I'm gonna have to go with light/whites... here's some inspirational images I found at Design Home Interior.
