Quiet Time- Good Reads


My faith is strong and for that I am thankful. However, to say I don't have moments of doubt about my actions and if they are enough would be a lie. To be a believer is more than just going through day to day life, being a good person, it is about being a disciple- and I fail at that constantly. I was reading Livi &B this week and followed Donna's link to this post:

How the Kids & the Neighbor-Next-Door Might Really Become Christians?


So many points made really hit home with me. It is worth reading, even if you don't have kids. Here are just a few lines that made me sit and think:

Doesn't anyone take the witness stand for the God who laid it all down? Have we not seen? Heard? Touched? Why shrink away? Why lie about it?

And maybe the answer is that, whether we realize it or not, every moment is our testimony before a world who has Christ on trial.

I pray my hands are a better witness than my words.

In my prayers I thank God all the time for his patience with me. It is comforting knowing we serve a loving God who loves us despite our flaws.

Modern and Classic Home Interior Design Ideas


Amir and Laura Neyestani built their home just over a year and a half ago, in keeping with the character of Vancouver’s eclectic Kitsilano locale. “We wanted a home that reflected the architecture of the neigbourhood, which is somewhat Arts and Crafts in style, but with a modern, open-plan interior,” says Amir. But when it came time to dress the space, they went back to their own Yaletown neighbourhood and a favourite boutique, thecrossdesign.com. Liking everything they saw, they ultimately hired one of the shop’s lead designers, Peter Wilds, to help merge their two distinct styles.

Untuk produk furniture outdoor. Tahan terhadap cuaca dan terik panas matahari.
A2. Solvent base (dengan pelarut thinner)
Produk dengan metode penyemprotan ini mempunyai hasil akhir paling bagus dan halus, semua produk mewah dan premium memakai metode ini. Kualitas thinner sebagai pelarut sangat berpengaruh pada hasil akhir.




b. Berdasarkan metode pengeringan :
B1. Sistem 1 komponen (1K)
Sistem penyemprotan dengan metode ini tidak memakai hardener untuk pengeringannya. Hasil akhir tahan gores terhadap tekanan pensil 2H.
B2. Sistem 2 komponen (2K)
Sistem ini menggunakan hardener sebagai pengering. Kandungan asam yang ada pada larutan hardener membantu proses pengeringan.

c.Berdasarkan metode pewarnaan (toning/ colouring) :
Pewarnaan langsung (direct colouring)
Pewarnaan tidak langsung (indirect colouring)

d.Berdasarkan system pengecatan (finishing system) yang dipakai :
D1. Transparan / dyestuff

D2. Solid / enamel laquirer
Lebih dikenal dengan nama umum cat duco. Sistem pengecatan dengan metode ini menghasilkan warna-warna solid. Cocok untuk furniture modern / bentuk minimalis.
D3. Fancy NC
Perpaduan antara sistem pengecatan diatas. Serat kayu masih tetap terlihat. Cocok untuk produk office furniture.

e.Berdasarkan bahan finishing yang dipakai :
E1. Melamine System
Finishing dengan sistem ini paling banyak dan umum digunakan untuk produk-produk furniture lokal. Memakai thinner sebagai pengencer. Jenis 2 komponen (memakai hardener sebagai pengering). Hasil akhir halus. Cukup tahan terhadap goresan sampai dengan ketajaman pensil ukuran 2H.
E2. Nitrocellulose System
Atau lebih dikenal dengan nama umum NC. Jenis 1 komponen tanpa hardener. Sistem pengecatan NC menjadi standar minimal untuk ekspor, dikarenakan bahannya anti toxic /tidak beracun. Hasil akhir serat kayu tetap terbuka (open grain). Daya tahan terhadap goresan tidak begitu kuat. Furniture lama yang memakai pengecatan metode ini lebih mudah dikoreksi atau direvisi (re-finishing). Hasil akhir lebih bagus daripada melamine system.
E3. Polyurethane System
Lebih umum menggunakan nama PU System. Jenis 2K yang lebih terintegrasi. Memakai pengencer thinner khusus agar hasil lebih maksimal. PU system saat ini digunakan untuk pengecatan barang-barang / produk mewah (premium product). Contohnya pada piano (pianocract quality), automotive (mobil mewah) ataupun produk-produk yang membutuhkan finishing/ hasil akhir yang sangat halus dan bagus. Daya tahan terhadap goresan paling unggul dikelas finishing solvent base (dengan pengencer thinner). Ketebalan finishing / dry film thickness bagus dikelasnya.

Sistem ini tidak menggunakan airspray pada umumnya. Banyak digunakan di furniture/ interior modern sebagai variasi. Bahan terbuat dari serat fiber sintetis dengan ketebalan dan corak yang bervarisi. Kekuatannya sangat bergantung pada


kekuatan lem dan proses produksi (steril). Macam yang ada sesuai kelasnya, dari kelas supercon, tacosheet s.d HPL.

g.Powder Coating
Finishing dengan system ini masih tergolong baru. Tidak menggunakan thinner sebagai pelarut. Cara penyemprotan menggunakan spray khusus yang dialiri electrostatic. Serbuk cat akan menempel pada bidang kerja kemudian dilumerkan di oven dengan suhu s.d 180 derajat celcius minimal 2 jam. Hasil akhir mempunyai karakter anti gores yang paling kuat dikelas apapun. Kehalusan permukaan (smoothing) tidak lebih dari PU system. Ketebalan finishing (DFT/ dry film thickness) paling unggul. Lebih cocok untuk produk-produk alat pabrik, produk-produk outdoor yang membutuhkan hasil akhir yang tahan terhadap cuaca dan goresan /benturan ringan.

Produksi mengacu ke standar lebih daripada produk umum. Untuk menekan harga produksi, berdasarkan pengalaman yang ada dan yang terus kami update, kami me-mixing bahan dan sistem yang dijelaskan diatas dengan tujuan produksi hasil yang bagus dengan meminimalkan harga yang di investasikan oleh customer kami (best buy). Untuk produk dengan hasil warna transparan kami memakai melamine system sebagai dasar (base coat) dan NC system s.d PU system pada tahap selanjutnya (toning& topcoat). Pada produk-produk dengan memakai warna solid kami memakai system NC pada tahap awal dan system PU pada tahap akhir agar hasil maksimal dan optimal. Selain bahan-bahan produksi diatas, kemampuan SDM dan peralatan pendukung (tools) juga sangat berperan di hasil produksi.

You could take inspiration from the bathroom collections available in-house. You could also play with different hues of blue, grey and brown. But if I was you, I would stick to the classy, timeless white exteriors which are shown below.

Outlandish Storing Cabinet, Milan 2010


When I first saw this storing cabinet at Milan Furniture Fair, its unusual look and black finish got me thinking at the Adams Family cartoon. Or maybe it was just the freaky mannequin which acted as a trigger, who knows? Either way, this is a cool and peculiar furniture for sober interiors or users with a taste for strong sensations. The overall design can remind one of old furniture items we only see today exhibited in Eastern European castles. I really like the fact that the lamp is in tune with the rest of the storing cabinet, having the same type of stem as the locker’s legs.We imagine that because of its impressive size, it is also quite practical.
