Fall into Autumn with This Cozy Destination

Enjoy the Autumn colors and scenes in Central Vermont at Twin Farms, an all-inclusive Vermont Resort & Spa. Nestled on 300 acres of forest, meadows, and ponds, Twin Farms gives its visitors a “sophisticated escape steeped in playful romance.”

Autumn in New England means one thing; fall foliage, and with over 300 acres of land, Twin Farms is your ideal destination. Lace up your boots and explore the area independently or with an expert guide, or lace up your trail running shoes and take a jog or hike throughout the groomed trails and hills. If you’re more interested in water activities, fly fishing, canoeing and kayaking also land a spot on the list of activities that Twin Farms provides you with.

For those wanting a laid-back experience, enjoy a picnic on the grounds, or escape to the spa for a massage, facial, scrub or pedicure, but don’t forget to end the day with a wine tasting.

Twin Farms allows you to define your level of escape in various lodging types. You can choose to relax in a freestanding cottage with screened porches and a fireplace, a suite located near the Main House, or in a room in the Main House. Whichever option you choose, Twin Farms promises to bring “unparalleled beauty in shades of red and gold bathed in crisp air, with the promise of warmth and intimacy at the end of the day.”

Unique and Stylish Closets to Suit Your Personality

When we think of closets most of us think of a place to store things, a place to hide away the things that we don’t want anyone to see.  This view point is becoming less and less common as we start to look at closets as a place to showcase our beloved items, a place to luxuriate in our belongings and express ourselves through design.  This trend is not just popular amongst women but men as well. Walk in closets, like any other room can be altered and designed in many ways to accommodate your storage and display needs but also to incorporate your style preferences.

Some of us choose to go the minimalistic route. This style screams clean, neat and chic and keeps everything streamlined and easy to find. This type of closet is simple yet sophisticated. The sleek edges and dark vs. light style makes this composition very design savvy and of course, enjoyable.

Others of us choose to display more and make our closets a place for everything to be seen. These types of closets usually incorporate display boxes and open shoe shelves as well as strategic lighting used to showcase certain items.

Another closet style to point out is the sitting/dressing room. This is more of an extension to the bedroom than it is a closet. This style usually incorporates one or multiple sitting areas and tables, there may be a desk along with many mirrors and even a tub. This style also tends to incorporate more design elements such as accessories, rugs, and pillows.

Whirlpool's CoolVox Hi-Fi Fridge

The kitchen should be a place of relaxation. It is a space for cooking and not for clutter. Unfortunately, extra counter space is usually hard to come by in many kitchens. Hoping to help solve this, a new invention will be hitting the appliance market sometime in the not-so-distant future. Made by Whirlpool, the new CoolVox fridge answers the question of counter space vs. music. Available so far in stainless steel and white ice color, this refrigerator places speakers inside the doors.

Especially in kitchens, consumers want to make the most of the space they have, and often times that means choosing between counter space and other electronics. With this fridge, the need for speakers or an iPod dock while cooking is eliminated. Listening to recipe podcasts has never been easier.

With the wireless Bluetooth connection the fridge includes, consumers can sync smartphones with the fridge, as well as stream from a computer or a tablet.

According to Whirlpool, the idea was created to let you “play what you want, when you want – helping you to create the moments that matter most”.

 Although it is still in its concept phase, this innovation could pave the way for other appliances like it, and start a new range of devices with music.

Another item that always seems to take up counter space is a coffee-maker. With the new Black Luk wall-mounted coffee maker, there is even more space available! 

This unique design is mounted on the wall and dispenses coffee through a small opening. It is perfect design for a modern home.
