Many homeowners choose to repaint their homes during the summer to bring back that clean shine they love - all season long. Artificial ...

Different Types of Paint Finishes for LA Homes We all know how color affects how you feel in any given room. Painted yellow walls are sunshine in a room. Blue relaxes everything down to a slow, even pulse. What homeowners don’t take the time to consider is what is the best paint finish for their walls. We’ll take it from the top. High Gloss Finish Starting at 10. High gloss does it best with a durable glass-like finish to any surface that can light up a room. It’s a sought after look that isn’t achieved easily. Part of the trouble of high gloss is the fact that it highlights everything down to little imperfections in the wall. It takes the careful hand of a licensed painter in Los Angeles to achieve this look, smooth to final. Semi - Gloss Finish Pulling back the highlight just a little bit has made this finish a much more popular choice. At 50% gloss this finish retains its protective nature, but just like high-gloss it has a tendency to show the bumps t...

Dangerous Piping Damages In Los Angeles Los Angeles has a long history of neglect when it comes to its water systems, whether it be through poor drought management or failure to properly treat what goes into its citizens homes. There’s been conflict in fighting for the citizen which is why in 2012, Governor Jerry Brown signed legislation assuring that - “Every human being has the right to safe, clean, affordable and accessible water.” Yes five years later people are still buying bottled water with their IDs.

The Experience I Had In an LA Deprivation Chamber Back pain is something I’ve dealt with down to my tailbone. And I’ve dealt with it through therapy.

But somehow, the benefits of a deprivation chamber made it past the filter. They’re simple enough. You’ve got - A Tank. To fill with water, large enough so you won’t touch the edges. Completely enclosed. Water. Deep enough to float in. Salts. Which increase the density of the water, allowing you to float - no effort. Put all these ingredients together, heat that water to the temperature of your body, and there’s a supposedly magical art that comes out when you lay in - you forget you have a body. It all sounds like some kind of abstraction - Orwellian invention, but it’s not complicated. When the water is heated to the same temperature as ...

The first question you might be asking is “is there such a thing as the wrong kind of fence to install?” and my answer is: depends on your taste. Slat Fences Keep It Pretty and Calm We perceive horizontal objects in a way as being at rest, which is why when you look at this picture you get a sense of calm. Slat fences have risen in popularity, popping up in contemporary design. They’re simple to install but have an aesthetic that’s just the right kind of fussy that gets the job done. The ‘hipster fence,’ is a title laid over it but let’s be honest, nothing that truly lacks style in Los Angeles has ever been called hipster. By the way they’re set, the horizontal fence tends to have a more secretive approach when it comes to visibility. There often tends to be very little space in between the bars, but at the end of the day it’s all a personal choice in look. Cattail's Are A New Los Angeles Trend Setting This fence is definitely getting a love letter...
