    Bamboo Shades, A Zebra Print Rug and Black Leather Sofa. 

    I’m wondering which one of the following would look really good with my bamboo shades?

    Also which curtains?

    Anymore ideas for decorating this room?

    I have top down bottom up bamboo shades as described here – so I need furnishings that will match this style.

    Thanks so much everyone!

      If walls are white, do white bamboo blinds.
      I like the woolrich [ 3rd one ] the best, if it matches the other reds.
      Add a metal, such as brass or pewter in lamps, picture frames, ornaments. [ I suggest people use the same neutral for all picture frames; such as black/white, oak/walnut,
      or brass/pewter on all frames, so you can re-arrange or move to other rooms. ]

      I think this is going to look good, curtains I would keep a plain material in black or white or red depending on the colour of the walls. I would keep my accents of one kind, pick a theme say natural elements and things like stone, marble bamboo, plants etc. Wall art is going to take some looking for but go with your instincts I would keep the animal print to the rug only as a nice accent. Hope this helps and I’m sure your room is going to be something to be proud of

      Neither. Try doing warm taupe walls with Black accents (Black Roman Blinds, Black Iron Decorations, your black furniture) and then that zebra rug, with classy, not cheesy leopard print pillows on the sofa. It’s romantic, classy, yet fun with the animal prints. Creates a soothing atmosphere.

    Are Bamboo Blinds Practical Around The House? 

    Hi Bamboo is a great natural, eco friendly product. It is well suited to high humidity areas such as the bathroom and kitchen. Bamboo blinds are easy to maintain and have become a popular choice. Hope this helps.

      Bamboo is a great product and I am glad it is making a such a impact lately from floors to clothing, to just about everything. I think that the bamboo would do great in the bathroom and in the kitchen. It is durable, eco-friendly, pretty easy to find anywhere, inexpensive, and can add an earth element to any room. Will do good in higher humidity areas such as the bathroom or kitchen, very easy to clean and come in a variety of colors and has different spacing so you can decide on how much light to let in or how much privacy you want, i think i have even found it made into the cloth covered blinds and shades somewhere if you want cloth version. Very versatile and efficient. I hope you enjoy it if you decide to go with it! Plenty of place on the web to look up bamboo, try “decorating with bamboo” and see if it helps. Good luck!

      I think you can try Pier 1 Imports…they sometimes have bamboo like blinds and things like that

      Hm, that sounds a bit ambitious, but try target or Ikea.
      If both do not work, ask your contractor.
      My mom wants a bamboo spiral staircase in her bedroom to lead up to a walk-in closet, so she’s asking the contractor.

    Tips, Tricks And Hints For Making Those Great Sushi Rolls 

    Sushi is a traditional Japanese food that is very nutritious and low in fat. Sushi is usually enjoyed on special occasions such as on celebrations.

    You will need to be mindful of a number of aspects and details before commencing with sushi rolls making. There needs to exist a good balance between stickiness of rice blend and the taste of vinegar apart from very good quality nori.

    The flavor of sushi would be really good if you choose all your ingredients, fish or vegetables, of the highest quality. It is very essential to make good sushi.

    As the sushi rolls are firm and they should be rolled in such a way so as not to crush them, beginners will find it difficult to roll sushi. The bamboo sushi mat is used to make the perfect form of the roll as it is flexible and wraps around the food. With this mat, you can roll the sushi rolls without crushing the ingredients. It is undeniable however that practice makes perfect when it comes to rolling sushi rolls into best suited cylindrical shapes. The bamboo used in the mat is the same used in for many other things, such as bamboo blinds.

    Before you begin to practice the art of rolling sushi into cylinders, you should learn to cook proper rice for sushi. The rice used is usually white and short-grained. Usually sushi rice takes about an hour to make, including the time to clean the rice and for the rice to absorb water.

    Striking a good balance in soaking and cleaning is an essential skill which people do not have and often make a mistake in it. This results in low quality rice output which ultimately will fail your sushi no matter how good you have used the bamboo sushi mat.

    You should also be careful about using flavored nori. People often use flavored nori for the sake of experiment only to find that the result is not great. Sushi should always be made with high quality and unflavored sushi. You should avoid any other type of nori to go with your sushi.

    You can use selected ingredients if you only wish to practice on your bamboo sushi mat. If you choose superior quality ingredients, it will prove to be very expensive. However, you should try not to waste food. It is an important part of Japanese culture that they do not waste food and consider it bad manners.
