The work does not begin with the painting itself - are of importance at first, the preparatory work. Because only a dry and clean surface ensures optimum adhesion and even distribution of color. Furthermore, the window and door frames, radiators and floor from paint splashes are protected against any large-scale painting.

Be taken things during the preparation of the walls must be, depending on whether you want to jump on the plaster or painted on wood chip. Plaster should be scrutinized in any case for loose bodies, possibly reworked, and then with a hand brush the dust free. So the plaster does not suck the moisture from the applied paint, which may well lead to an uneven distribution of ink coverage and should have a plastered wall before painting to be treated with clear depths. The same goes for plaster walls. In wood chip is only to ensure that the glue is completely dried.

A small tributary of Dambovita, named Colentina, several lakes stretch across the city, the most important being Lake Floreasca, Lake Tei and Lake Colentina. The region where Bucharest is now located was once covered by the Vlasiei forest, which, after it was cleared, gave way to a fertile flatland. As with many cities, Bucharest is traditionally considered to have seven hills, in the tradition of the seven hills of Rome. Bucharest’s seven hills are: Mihai Voda, Patriarhiei, Radu Voda, Cotroceni, Spirei, Vacaresti and Sf. Gheorghe Nou. In addition, in the center of the capital there is a small artificial lake - Lake Cismigiu. Surrounded by gardens and parks, it has a rich history, as it was frequented by famous poets and writers. The city has a total surface of 226 km2.

Just a single apartment arranged properly. But the general opinion, it “feels good …”.

Create a universe of colors and textures :

Do not think your apartment as a place where simple greet your friends and maybe more. Think of your apartment as a journey and experience. Each piece must be a stop on this journey, and each chair during a sensory experience (by sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste … why not we will return). My apartment, for example, is characterized by two of Asia and music. So wear all Asian motifs, and each piece (or almost) has a monitoring system (even if it is plugged into an iPod shuffle small speakers) or musical instruments. There is nothing worse than a succession of rooms without thematic continuity
between them, like a patchwork quilt made at random.

Empty! Videz ! Empty!

The trinkets are the bane of apartments. They attract dust and encourage your friends to consistently offer other trinkets worse!

Generally, I avoid any element of unnecessary decoration (especially for a guy flat): no statues pitites adorable, no cut sport hard won on the last curling competition, not records or CDs or DVDs lying around on all tables and chairs of the room, no electric son lying on the floor between your computer and your toaster. Beside the pictures / tables, lighting and this will be used to sensory experiences (cushions, rugs, incense, etc..), Do not drag. Remember: “Empty + clean = comfortable”.

A balcony garden:
A house with land is not necessary to look at gardening. If you live in an apartment, a small balcony is sufficient not only to have the flowers, but also for herbs, vegetables and fruit.

The geranium is, without doubt, the most common plant on the balconies and window ledges where its bright colors bring a touch of gaiety to the façades. For planting or out, wait for late April that any risk of frost is removed quickly and get on the inside when the cold season arrives. The climbing nasturtiums or pea are very esthetic to the balcony as long as you wrap around the railings.

To start a garden apartment sow herbs in a garden, thyme, basil and cilantro do little maintenance apart from regular watering.

In separate pot, place the seeds of chives and mint flavor to your summer dishes. The cultivation of vegetables and fruits requires more attention than the spices. Soil and fertilizer are needed to help them grow and watering should be done twice daily, morning and evening, after hours of heat.

A beautiful garden for the summer:

Summer is the season where it benefits most from his garden. The garden and orchard are in full production, the flowers spread their most beautiful colors.

Land preparation:

To have a beautiful flower garden in summer, we had to prepare the land and enrich it. Annual plants have a lifetime short enough (June to October in general) and therefore need to find quickly and in quantity of food necessary for their development. Stir ground granulated cow manure, compost, fertilizer horticultural bedding plant or a slow release fertilizer. Once the plants growing, there will be watering added liquid fertilizer.

Buy plants:
Focus on good quality purchase: Plant robust, a good appearance and little or no flowers as they are in buckets. A well-flowered plant stall on the horticulturist is attractive but has already begun to suffer! It will require more energy and time to adjust to his new environment, the risk is not strong enough to suffer its first shock.

Parterres and garden:
Weeding thoroughly flat strips and plates of vegetables, to avoid invasion by weeds, from the first storm (heat + water = grows fast). Then mulch the soil with wood chips, straw to reduce evaporation and the direct action of sunlight at the feet of plants.

Pelouse Lawn:
Prefer more frequent mowing clippings short not to weaken the lawn by removing much of its foliage. The effect of the burning rays of the sun could burn the grass.

Watering:
Who said the sun, said water for plants. Watering is a passage.Plants have different water needs. Flowers and vegetables require regular supply of water but short supply, while fruit trees prefer an abundant watering in dry weather.

Drizzle as much as possible at the base of plants to avoid thermal shock and evaporation. Preferably in the evening as the water evaporates much less than full day under the sun.
Prioritize  watering which facilitates accurate and without much loss. A sprinkler disperse about 25% of the water in the atmosphere, this water does not, therefore, to plants. Once this advice into practice and respected, the gardener can take quiet vacation.
