Aqua Globes

Decorating and furnishing a nursery for your newborn is one of the most enjoyable do-it-yourself projects you can do. There are tons of books, magazines and Internet sites out there that will provide you with all the inspiration you need to get started.

That said, any decorating scheme should be carefully thought out and personal. Your infant’s nursery should be a place that comforts both you and your child during the bonding process.

Selecting the overall room color is your first step to creating just the right feel. For instance, a calm color scheme in aqua or sky blue gives a sense of space in an otherwise small room.

Decorating an infant nursery is all about creating a calm and cozy environment. The key is to find the right combination of cool and warm colors to nurture your newborn.

When used in moderation primary colors add interest and visual stimulation. In my opinion though less is more. Go easy with bold and bright colors.

Introduce colors in small doses here and there – in wall hangings, bedding and in accessories like lampshades and decorative photo frames.

Coordinating bedding and window coverings is one of the easiest ways to decorate infant nurseries. The key is to select something that you love and makes you feel good. After all, remember your infant’s nursery is more for you than for her.

Select bedding, wall decor and accessories that will grow with your child. Colors and hues that you like and won’t tire of too quickly are always best.

A good approach is to select decor elements that work well together. It’s amazing what can be done with neutral walls and floor coverings. A few simple changes here and there can give the room a whole new look as your child grows.

A harmonious nursery where bedding sets, window treatments and wall coverings all coordinate can create a comfy place of slumber and lullabies. That said, an understated mix and match approach can be equally effective.

It’s fun to use your imagination for decorating possibilities. Put your own unique spin on your infant’s nursery by incorporating accessories that share similar color and pattern elements. Turn to framed wall prints, photos and rugs for fresh ideas and inspiration.

When to plant?

As a general rule, spring flowering bulb planting begins in August or September and usually planting is completed by mid December. Later planting is possible but performance could be less than 100%.

How to plant?

Usually bulbs can be planted the equivalent of at least three times the depth of the bulb, but if in doubt check product packaging for details.

Pick healthy bulbs

Be vigilant when selecting bulbs. Avoid any bulbs that appear unhealthy, desiccated or withered looking. Any bulbs displaying rot or mould should be discarded.

How to plant?

For a more natural and visual impact, bulbs are best planted in random groups or clusters under trees or shrubs or in lawn areas. Bulbs are also ideal for planting in planters, containers, window boxes. Each variety has particular planting requirements in terms of recommended planting depth. As a general rule of thumb for the most popular varieties would indicate a planting depth of 150mm. Plant bulbs in clusters but scatter first to achieve a more natural look. Plant bulbs in group which allows the group to develop and spread over time and plant at the rate of approx fifty bulbs for every meter squared.

Preparing the planting hole

Prepare ground and planting depth to suit variety and pace some coarse sand or grit at bottom of hole before planting bulbs. This will provide improved drainage during prolonged wet spells or risk of bulbs rotting in heavy soils. Good drainage encourages root development and prevents disease. Some time spent preparing the planting area will yield good dividends in terms of longer and better performing blooms. Inadequate ground preparation will result in poor performance and early casualties.

Popular choices

Daffodils – plant before end of November, plant small varieties including Tete a Tete 75mm deep, other varieties plant 150mm deep.

Snowdrops – can be planted before end of November 75-100mm deep.

Crocuses – plant before end of November approx 50-75mm deep.

Tulips – plant before end of November approx 100mm deep.

Use bulb fertilizer or a slow release bulb food to encourage growth.

When to replace bulbs?

Some bulbs like tulips become weak after a few years and should be replaced. Daffodils on the otherhand become stronger with age, whilst hyacinths reseed and spread. Avoid early cutting the foliage of spent flowers, if cut early the following year’s flowering performance will be severely reduced. Be patient, allow bulbs to build up reserves and should the foliage become unsightly, simply bind the foliage in a bundle with some string and eventually cut when it becomes yellow brown.

Globes have been used as a learning tool for a long time. Unlike flat maps of the world, globes are an accurate way to depict land masses, bodies of water, mountains and valleys, and political boundaries of the world’s countries. The familiar tabletop globes that we used in school and the larger floor globes we equate with libraries have been an important learning tool for decades. A typical way to assemble a globe is to attach a meticulously printed and trimmed paper map (which has taken the curvature of the earth into account) to a sphere. The sphere is then mounted in a bracket for a desktop globe or a tall stand for floor globe.

An elegant alternative to these traditional learning tools is readily available to us-a gemstone globe. To manufacture a gemstone globe, natural gemstones are precision-cut into the shapes that represent the countries of the world. These gemstone shapes are assembled like a puzzle on a sphere. Gold, silver and brass ribbons are inlaid on the globe to represent the lines of latitude and longitude. The finished globe is polished to a sheen that highlights the beauty of the natural materials.

If you’re in the market for a gemstone globe, you’ll find a wide variety of colors to choose from. In general, the kind of globe is identified by the color of the gemstone used to represent the bodies of water on the globe. While rich blue lapis is a natural choice for a gemstone globe, you can find them with oceans of aqua quartz, green quartz, howlite, agate, tanzanite, copper amber, rubalite, mother-of-pearl, opal, black opalite, peridot, jasper, tiger’s eye, turquoise, and amethyst.

One way to tell if a gemstone globe is made of authentic materials is to carefully examine the individual pieces of stone. Because they are a natural material, expect to see some texture and irregularities in the polished surface. These natural inclusions and patterns provide character and indicate that natural stone has been used. A natural gemstone globe will polish to a high sheen. While synthetic materials can look good, they won’t polish up as brightly as the real thing.

Another thing to look for in an authentic gemstone globe are miniscule seams between the pieces that represent the countries. These seams show that the gemstone pieces of the globe were assembled by hand; a globe with these characteristics were most likely was manufactured with real gemstones.

A large gemstone globe can be the centerpiece of a room’s décor-its’ color and craftsmanship garner attention and make it a natural conversation starter. It can also be expensive. How can you enjoy one of these brilliant works of art in your home at a good price? Consider these options:

• Select a tabletop or desktop gemstone globe. They are smaller in scale than the traditional floor globe but still display the same brilliant color and fine materials as the larger, more expensive versions.

• The cut of the gemstones can affect the price. Expect to pay more for a gemstone globe that contains materials that are triangle cut and diamond cut.

• Gemstone paperweights, clocks, world maps, book ends, even bottle stoppers and keychains can give you a touch of the real thing at a very reasonable price.

If you choose to buy the full-size gemstone globe, look for reputable names and buy from established dealers. If you want to be very sure that your choice is authentic, take the globe to a testing lab. An electro-conductivity test, like the ones used to authenticate precious stones, can verify that the materials used in a gemstone globe are authentic.
