Delhi the capital of India is also called its heart. The city has a something to offer to everyone who decides to make it their home, even if for a short while. The old Delhi and the comparatively New Delhi with their meandering streets hide many such alleys and lanes which remain hidden from the public view but may perhaps contain the shop selling that antique chair that you have been looking for a very long time. The wide roads make all destinations seem easily approachable but once you are on the streets, you will be thankful for a road map. It is not possible even for the true Delhiite to be well acquainted with every nook and corner of the city and for a newcomer the task of finding a place or...

Kittens are amazing creatures. When they play, they play with every ounce of their little beings. Their needle-like little claws propel them up the curtains in the bedroom and down the back of a couch. Kittens can scratch your antique chair that your great aunt gave you and shred your favorite plant to pieces - but we love them anyway. We look at our beloved kitten's antics and say to ourselves, "He's just a kitten," and that explains it all. Young animals are supposed to be full of life, tearing through the house and dashing around the back yard. Their bones, muscles, and neurological connections are growing by the minute. They also need lots of sleep as well as nourishing, real food. In...

Think About itknowing about a burglar's three worst enemies -- light, time and noise -- can help you protect your home from crime. A burglar won't find your home an "easy mark" if he's forced to work in the light, if he has to take a lot of time breaking in, and if he can't work quietly. "Case" Your Place Take the time to "case" your house or apartment, just as a burglar would. Here are a few questions to get you started: 1. Where is the easiest entry? 2. How can you make it more burglar resistant? Trim trees and shrubs near your doors and windows, and think carefully before installing a high, wooden fence around your back yard. High fences and shrubbery can add to your privacy, but privacy is a...

The expectations of women have changed drastically over the past 100 years, but for many women being a mother is just as important today as it was a century ago. I remember having a conversation with my grandmother when I was in my twenties. We were sitting in her living room; me on her white, green, and blue flowered couch and she in her green antique chair. She was probing me about what my career choice was going to be; she wanted me to pursue a business career, as she had done. My grandmother had been a successful businesswoman who did not have her first child until she was 35 (something unheard of in the 1940s) and who continued to work full-time thereafter. She asked me if I wanted to have...

Any of these styles can be combined with the more modern styles to create wonderful living spaces. In this article I discuss classic styles from England and France.

Fabric chair covers are very popular because they can enhance the look of any chair very quickly. They also retain the natural texture of the original fabric and hold you in position. The quality and feel of the chosen cover is important to make it look natural and to blend in with the overall structure of the chair. Badly fitting covers can show crease lines and can start to sag at the edges when any weight is added to them. To stop this happening you can have tailored covers that replace the original fabric. This is perhaps the next best thing to a full upholstery and is much less expensive. If you go for this option it is vital that the chair is in good overall condition. Check the springs and...

Around 1720 the commodious seat was developed in Paris, France.
