<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It turns out that bubble wrap was first marketed as wallpaper but it proved unsuccessful. The company then turned it's focus on packaging and voila - the rest as they say is history.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since it's invention in 1960 alot of people have found alternative uses for the product. The first being stress relief. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A friend told me that she bought her son a very expensive dvd and instead of watching it with her he played with the bubble wrap for the rest of the evening.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have a look at some of the clever uses people have found for bubble wrap.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Although it seems that with the official title a heap of paper work appeared from nowhere. I have signed my signature more times in the past two weeks than ever before. Luckily I needed the practice and think I've now perfected it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">We have started doing viral campaigns and have had great response so far but hats off to OLX that's still our biggest portal for gaining new customers. From wine farms to butchers have been contacting us from this awesome site (or maybe it's our great pictures?).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Currently we are working on developing five new products to our range. Exciting new designs not currently avaliable in the market place.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The big reveal will happen at the 'Wellington Huismark' at Napier Winery, Bainskloof from 25 to 28 July this year. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"></span><br />

Clark: A Little Boy's Bedroom with Big Style</a>: <br />
<br />
<h3 class="post-title entry-title">A Little Boy's Bedroom with Big Style </h3><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-2269186111620984910" sizcache="0" sizset="1">When we moved into our house a a year and a half ago, I quickly put together my little boy's room using most of the things from our previous home, in an effort to get it "finished" for him:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" sizcache="0" sizset="1" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aDSsKvJu0xE/S-ra-k4p2RI/AAAAAAAAB1Y/6L_OXflvFRM/s1600/Kid%27s+Rooms+(Boy%27s+Baseball+Bedroom).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" closure_uid_vizq5u="2" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_aDSsKvJu0xE/S-ra-k4p2RI/AAAAAAAAB1Y/6L_OXflvFRM/s640/Kid%27s+Rooms+(Boy%27s+Baseball+Bedroom).JPG" width="640" wt="true" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" sizcache="0" sizset="2" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In the back of my mind, I've always planned on eventually changing the whole scheme of things--bedding, paint, bed, etc.. However, after seeing <a href="http://isabellaandmaxrooms.blogspot.com/search/label/Big%20Boy%27s%20Bedroom"><span style="color: #829869;">Janell's son Max's room</span></a>, I'm having the urge to work on it a little sooner. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" sizcache="0" sizset="3" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aDSsKvJu0xE/S-tRZWB0xUI/AAAAAAAAB1o/UA_OwVB_h3U/s1600/IMG_2469%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="cssfloat: right; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" closure_uid_vizq5u="3" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_aDSsKvJu0xE/S-tRZWB0xUI/AAAAAAAAB1o/UA_OwVB_h3U/s640/IMG_2469%5B1%5D.JPG" width="428" wt="true" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div>Janell, who writes the always-inspiring blog <a href="http://isabellaandmaxrooms.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #829869;">Isabella & Max Rooms</span></a>, started the design process for her little boy's room re-do by interviewing the client himself, as any good designer would do. Turns out 5-year-old Max had some great ideas, including a chalkboard (she incorporated a large chalkboard "stripe" around the walls) and maps of the world (which Janell drew herself!). <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><br />
<div class="separator" sizcache="0" sizset="5" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aDSsKvJu0xE/S-tTbxi5dxI/AAAAAAAAB1w/RACzKWV-wKs/s1600/IMG_8970%5B2%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" closure_uid_vizq5u="4" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aDSsKvJu0xE/S-tTbxi5dxI/AAAAAAAAB1w/RACzKWV-wKs/s640/IMG_8970%5B2%5D.JPG" width="428" wt="true" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I also like that she challenged herself to complete the room using mostly accessories from IKEA--some of which she transformed once she got them home.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<div class="separator" sizcache="0" sizset="11" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And, if you like Max's room, her daughter's room is just as wonderful!

glitter has been sometimes been credited to American cattle farmer and
machinist, Henry Ruschmann, shortly after the start of WWII. With German glass glitter
unavailable due to the war, Ruschmann found a market for scrap material ground
into glitter made of plastic. He founded Meadowbrook Inventions, Inc. in
Bernardsville New Jersey, and the company is still a major producer of
industrial glitter today</span></span><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span><br />

characteristics, glitter has also proven to be useful forensic evidence.
Because of the tens of thousands of different commercial glitters, identical
glitter particles can be compelling evidence that a suspect has been at a crime
scene. Glitter particles are easily transferred through the air or by touch,
yet cling to bodies and clothing, often unnoticed by suspects</span></span><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">.</span></span></span></span><br />

However, gold sequins were found in King Tut's tomb. Excavators also found a

Since this Egyptian King lived from approximately 1341-1323 B.C., sequins are
thousands of years old.</span></span></span></span></div>

was taking down the decorations after a party at a really big theatrical revue
called "le Casino de Paris" They decided to cut up the decorations
and drop them on the guests the next evening. No one had seen Confetti before
and was enthralled to the point of giddiness. Within 4 Years Confetti was being
made by machine and being sold all over the world. </span></div>

"pressure" part only gets at part of the treatment process.
Manufacturers use pressure to force chemicals like </span><a href="http://www.healthybuilding.net/formaldehyde/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">formaldehyde</span></a><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
into the wood. The idea is to prevent decay and pest infestation, but you
definitely don't want those treated pallets inside your house or touching food.
Fumigated wood is treated with pesticides, which also isn't great from a health
standpoint.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

road trip to the Karoo for our honeymoon in September and came across the most
creative people with a fresh approach to design that inspired us to no end.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt;"><o:p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt;">The people in
the Karoo lives quiet and meaningful lives at a very admirable slow pace. Don't
plan on finding anything open between one and two in the afternoon on a week
day as this time is spent with family having lunch and sneaking in an afternoon
nap.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt;"><o:p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt;">Ever
heard of a place called Herelogement? We found this little speck on the map
that indicated caves so we had to go and find it. The road was very bad and
<span style="font-size: x-small;">sandy so</span> be warned. This is not a town but a settlement of a few houses and
farms. Simon Van Der Stel camped out here with his party back in the day and
it's rumoured that Olof Bergh (the brandy guy) wrote his name down in the cave.</span><br />

The inscriptions that dated back to 1921 was so neat an almost Roman type face like while the modern ones was quite messy and not as well rounded (could this be due to our computerized age where we don’t put pen to paper anymore?).<o:p></o:p></span></o:p></span></div>

we spent in Doringbaai and were truly moved by the ruff and wild force of the
sea and the textures it leaves on buildings and the original jetty. You truly
get the sense that nature's in charge here and it gives you new appreciation
for our beautiful shoreline.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

destination was crossing the border to enter the Northern Cape and what a
spectacular wonder of nature this is. Van Rhyns pass climbs very steeply and
when you look down you look upon 'kners vlakte'. Once you get to the top the
ground stays level and you realise this is what they mean when they say 'above
sea level!'.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt;">While walking
in the veld we picked up quartz crystals that shines just like diamonds and
christened them ‘Karoo diamante’. It would be great to link up with a local
jewellery designer to really develop a unique product to the market.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt;">We were introduced
to a couple that mines ‘lei klip’ on their farm and cuts it into shapes. The
wonderful thing about this natural product as it can be used as a hot plate by
heating it in the oven before serving the food directly on it. We will be
adding this awesome line to our range soon.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt;">Calvinia is
the heart of red meat country so Derick was super excited to stay over for two
nights.

town.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt;">In the museum
we came across a room with four of everything – baby cribs, school cases,
christening dresses – belonging to the famous Lombaard identical ‘vierling’.
The state sponsored their milk and the youngest was named after the doctor
because they ran out of family names. The Karoo folk say if you’ve seen one of
them – you’ve seen them all!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt;">We were so
lucky to be invited back to Loeries to attend ‘nagmaak naweek’. This is when
the NG kerk does their ‘kerk bazaar’ and 46 ‘lammers’ gets hauled over the
coals and the award winning ‘Riel dansers’ showed us their stuff. It is quite a
spectacular event. It looked more like a music festival than the bazaars I’ve
been too – one thing always stays the same – the colourful instant bazaar
pudding.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt;">At the bazaar
we met die eldest of the ‘vierling’, Oom Klaas. A lovely eccentric man with a
loud voice and great sense of humour. He said that he was dragged out by his
feet and born first and his other brothers came crawling out behind him like
mice – that’s why he’s got such big feet.</span><br />

with a couple that got married three months prior that invited us to stay on

Driefontein. Adre insisted that their wooden cottage on the dam is the perfect
way to end off our honeymoon … and it was!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt;">We did not
expect to see such a vast expanse of water in the Karoo with a magical Poplar
forest that looks like a scene from Robin Hood. They also took us to go see the
canyon and the sight and size took our breath away.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt;">I would
highly recommend you pack your family and give these guys a visit! The rates
are more than affordable and the experience – priceless!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 9pt;">Other gems
found in town was Die Blik Bazaar where we got a complementary glass of wine on their stoep to
toast to a long and happy marriage. This little coffee and gift shop is filled
with all things made of tin. Tin plates transformed into small mirrors and

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">Therefore I thought it an excellent idea to research the topic on how to decorate with books.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">Have a look at these very quirky and sophisticated tricks.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">Lots of love,</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #444444;">Greys are still all the rage in the décor world and we were inspired by vintage chalkboards that after years of work turn a powdery charcoal colour.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #444444;">Charcoal is such a nice deep variety of grey that really works well when black’s too harsh.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #444444;">The word falls nicely on the ear in winter and reminds us of fire places, overcast weather, art work done in charcoal, stately grey suits and even river pebbles.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #444444;">We have found some great pictures that just had to be shared.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Calibri;">Enjoy, D&M xxx</span></div>

This is not a new concept but so few are brave enough to do it and it really adds so much personality to a room.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">We will be sharing some very clever ideas to inspire you to take the leap of faith.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The first question your partner will ask is - it's all good and well honey, but how do we get the paint of the wall when we move house?<br />
how to ge chalkboard paint off your walls: </span><a href="http://www.ehow.com/how_5572811_remove-blackboard-paint.html"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">http://www.ehow.com/how_5572811_remove-blackboard-paint.html</span></a><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Over time you will need to repaint your wall but here's some tips on how to keep it looking good and not full of chalk clouds or chips. </span><a href="http://www.ehow.com/how_4740758_care-chalkboard.html"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">http://www.ehow.com/how_4740758_care-chalkboard.html</span></a><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>Blackboard border </strong>We love this pink wall bordered with a blackboard strip. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><strong>Under counter art</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Great for little ones to draw at just the right hight - this under couter chalkboard is sure to add loads of fun while no ones watching.</span><br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dMnXrJTRAFM/T4AD_i2JE2I/AAAAAAAAAZo/CxDnZC-Yrks/s1600/DM_profile.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" nda="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dMnXrJTRAFM/T4AD_i2JE2I/AAAAAAAAAZo/CxDnZC-Yrks/s1600/DM_profile.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">We have always wanted to start our own decor range and all things fell beautifully in place for us to do so. With a love of all things pretty and quirky we started D&M made with love.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Our current range consist of color chalkboard cut outs in fun shapes that will add the perfect focal point to a any room and comes in handy for to do lists or a much needed inspirational quote.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">We then designed smaller fun chalkboard peg shapes that is perfect for dinner parties or name tags for gifts. Inspiration struck and we developed a new and exciting product in the shape of a mini menu napkin ring that could also be used as a fun ice breaker at dinner parties. By writing a section of a quote on the napkin ring you get guests to arrange them to make the quote. Loads of laughs guaranteed.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The river rock door stops have been our most successful product to date. The contrast of the natural rock combined with a door handle is cheeky and fun. We add a felt heart at the bottom of the rock to protect your floor surface.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Our range will be growing with us and we hope to bring you very innovative and happy items that will rock your socks off!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Planning our wedding at present we have already come across things that is near to impossible to find and hope to add them soon. Heart shaped sparklers for instance ...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Recently we had a family with kids over for a good old fashioned braai and it was amazing to see the kids react to our product. They all went home with one of our bunny cut outs sold with a satin bag with chalk. It kept them busy for hours and one of them went to bed with theirs. Priceless.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Thank you for all the support we have had with D&M from friends and family. We will keep you posted on how we grow the brand.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Lots of love,</span><br />
