Lofts - dark and dirty warehouse or nice and tidy place to live?

Today I want share my love for lofts. I always thought where I am going to live when I will be older and I imagined having a big, modern and luxury house somewhere far away from 'urban noise'. But I'm growing and my 'taste' and understanding what and why I want it more also changing. 

So I want to say that, once my eye saw a beautiful place, maybe apartment (can't find correct word to describe it) but it just catched my eye and it looked so good for me. So I wanted to find out more about that type of buildings maybe houses or just places. So one time I was looking through interior design's magazine and I found something looking similar to that place I saw before. LOFT, that was the word which was in that magazine next to those amazing pictures of lofts. 

This is one of the examples how loft interior looks like.

So now move on! If I just say I like it, it's not enough because you have to know why you like it or what do you like about it. 

So for example, I like lofted places because it reflects my personality which is that I am really orderly person. I don't like really like 'crowded' or 'messed up' areas, so that means that loft is really good place to live for me. 

In the picture above is a loft building.

If you don't really know and still not really imagine what loft is, I will try to answer to this questions  based on really good answers which I found in the internet. 

What LOFT is? 

• A loft can be a storey in the building, directly under the roof. Alternatively, a loft apartment refers to a large adaptable open space.
• Later lofts been converted into living spaces known for incredible space and light very different from available apartments. First they have been converted by an artists who used the space to live in studio and later developed by builders.

This answer you are going to read now is not from a very good 'side' about lofts, but it's also good example:  

"One apartment would take an entire floor with no room separations, except for a bathroom. Meaning your bed is out in the open with your kitchen and living room. They are usually huge spaces and have a very industrial look with exposed bricks and pipes and lots of industrial windows."

So yeah, it says: "...they have a very industrial look with exposed bricks and pipes and lots of industrial windows", but that is one of the things I really like about lofts. So how I said it depends on personality.  

• The other use for loft is when you have an area of your house or apartment that is upstairs but it isn't as big as the downstairs. It's sort of like an indoor balcony - you can look down and see the floor below you. You can have an office or even a bedroom up there, although the bedroom would be 'open' to the rest of the house, your privacy comes from being upstairs from everyone else.

Also I want to share with you the characteristics you may see in loft buildings or inside the lofts:

• Usually lofts are located near downtown
• Very high ceilings 
• Exposed pipes and ducts in the ceiling 
• Floor to ceiling windows
• Exposed interior bricks
• Modern
• Open and airy
• No yard or garden

I think that's it I wanted to share with you today, about my love for lofts. Hope this post will inspire you and might you will start like lofts!

Lot of ideas all around you, but they still didn't come to your head?

Today we're taking a new topic, which is about ideas and where good ideas comes from. Also you will find some really helpful advices! 
So I am going to be a bit selfish and look at this really serious problem for me and might for other people.
So I searched the internet about the ideas and where are they come from? And after a few articles I realised that a lot of ideas are hiding near me!

What do you need to do? Answer is very simple - just concentrate on what you are working on, look everywhere around you! Even a plastic bottle that you're 

going throw to the bin could become a brilliant idea! 

Also these days are so much social networks, where you can find an inspiration, ideas and other people! You can talk with those people, ask them a questions. Maybe they can help you by - knowing that only one thing that you need to finish your idea, project or work with.

Before I realised what real ideas are and where they come from, I was looking at the pictures or drawings which I found on Google by typing that single word - IDEAS. All I want to tell you by saying that is - it is not an idea if you just copy that drawing into your sketchbook, it is just a copied work from someone else. But you can make a new your own idea by adding or changing something. Also it could be an inspiration for you but no ways an idea. 

Continue on point, that if you you're making an idea from someone else's work just call it - developing ideas.

I read one post which was about ways of developing ideas and there I found really good advices how you can develop your ideas or make them look better, it depends what work you are doing - if you are writing something, you can make it more interesting by developing your idea you are writing about. You can find examples of ways you can develop your ideas in this link:  http://www.bang2write.com/2013/05/7-ways-of-developing-ideas-by-daniel-hartropp.html

Also I want to share a really inspiring video on YouTube, which is about - Where good ideas come from.

That's all I want to share with about this topic - IDEAS. Hope this post inspired you and also I hope that this post will help your ideas become amazing things!

Stay there! I'm coming with new ideas in my blog!

The most of my time I spend by reading other's architecture and design blogs and sites. So by saying that I mean that I am realized how architecture and other blog should look like or what notes or ideas and articles should appear in the blogs. 

Sooo lets make this article a start of new inspiration! 

In the past I posted the articles that I found in other blogs but now I'm going to post more articles or short posts which have been created by me. But it doesn't mean that I am not going to share interestings things I found and you haven't. Don't worry!

1. GET A BLOG. If you don't have a blog yet, get it! At this time I know only two famous blogging sites: Wordpress and Blogger (my choice). 
2. CHOOSE A TOPIC. Pick a topic that you are interested in and what do you want to share with other people. Show them how you really like it!
3. HASHTAG. In every your article put hashtags. It will help for people who are looking in searching sites such as: Google. Thats how they will find your blog by your hashtags.
4. LINKS. Put some links into your blog which will direct your blog followers to other sites, similiar topics as you writting.
5. STAY ON TOPIC. If you are blogging about architecture(the same as me) then stay on blogging about architecture. If you going to start blogging about music in architecture's blog then you will lose your blog's followers because they chose your blog to read because it's interesting what you are putting in it.
6. MAKE YOUR BLOG UNIQUE. Make your posts something that you can't find in other blogs. Change format or style. Also try to organize your post, it will be better for you and more interesting for your blog's readers.
7. PROMOTE YOUR BLOG. Share your blog with other people in sites such as: Facebook; Twitter; Google+... Maybe you will find people in your friend circle who are interested in things that you are.
8. UPDATE. don't forget to update your blog! You can have a break 2 or 3 days, but you have to update your blog with new posts even if they are short.
9. TAKE A BREAK. Take a break a few days and then come back with new ideas and inspiration!

Here we go! Tried to make 10 bullet points but I have 9 inspirational points. I hope it will helps you!
