Vietnam National Museum Of Fine Arts, Wonderful Artifacts Housed In An Equally Wonderful Building

The Vietnam National Museum of Fine Arts is located in Hanoi, Vietnam at 66 Nguyen Thai Hoc Street, Hanoi. The Vietnam National Museum of Fine Arts plays an important part in the museum structure in Vietnam, not only preserving and showcasing some of the cultural heritage of Vietnam through the medium of fine arts but also making them accessible to the public.

The Vietnam National Museum of Fine Arts is housed in the complex that was once the French Ministry of Information building. The building was constructed by the French during their colonial rule of Vietnam. The architectural style comprises both of Vietnamese Oriental as well as classical elements from the French. Many people both locally as well as internationally flock to see not only the magnificent art works but also the equally impressive architecture of this building. From wing to wing of the Vietnam National Museum of Fine Arts stands a collection of fine arts ranging from the ancient artistic works to the modern contemporary works.

On the ground floor one will be able to see some of the oldest artworks on display at the museum. The Amitabha Buddha sculpture created in 1057 also stands with the museum. A wooden sculpture of Boddhisattva, sandstone sculptures from the Funan and Champa Kingdoms and also the “One Thousand Eye, One Thousand Arm Guan Yin” can be found at the museum.

While visiting the many sights in Vietnam finding some good Saigon accommodation is a must. A Saigon hotel would be a good place to stay.

Dwell Table Sketch Linens

Dwell has long been known for its fresh and innovative take on modern bedding. Since their very first collection in 1999, dwell’s designers Jennifer Chused and Christiane Lemieux have constantly reinterpreted the definition of modern, exploring different expressions of what is current. Quality has also been important to dwell, they chose to take the high road on the thread count debate and rather than using a lesser quality construction in a higher thread count, they chose their staple fabric to be 100% Egyptian cotton percale in a 320 thread count. dwell’s patterns have become a modern classics. They are regularly featured in home design and fashion magazines like Metropolitan Home, Elle Decor, Lucky, Glamour, Domino and New York Magazine.

In 2006, dwell debuted “dwelledition”, a series of limited edition styles that represent the very latest in their design direction. In Sketch and Talon the debut dwelledition patterns, they reinterpreted old world details and historical European motifs into something current and modern. With their 2007 chinoiserie collection, they have reinterpreted ornamentation in a fresh, minimal style perfect for the contemporary home. Dwell Linen‘s 2007 chinoiserie collection is about what’s modern now. By reducing the decorative to its essential elements, dwell has reinterpreted ornamentation in a fresh, minimal style for the contemporary home.

Attention to detail makes this collection distinctive and unique – from the rich hand of the fabrics to the addition of woven linen trim and fine tailoring. Stanton is yard dyed, not printed. What this means is that the yarns are dyed, then woven on a jacquard loom to create the pattern. The use of the different color yarns in the weave creates the contrast in the woven pattern.

Bedroom Re-design help!?

Heres what I’ve got:
Walnut (dark) brown ’80s Henredon bedset. (dresser, 2 night stands & queen bed) It’s gorgeous and I love it. I also have a really ultra-modern desk made of light maple veneer and black metal. It is ugly and I want to get rid of it but can’t.

The walls in my room are tan (also gorgeous and it can’t change) The trim (mouldings etc) are off white, and the carpet is a gray/tan color. The accents in my room (door knobs, lighting closet pulls) are bronze AKA fake gold.

I am looking for an idea for a color scheme (involving curtains, rug, bedding, towel sets and accessories) that blend well together (not too matchy-matchy) and conveys a more traditional sophisticated feel.
I also have a really ultra-modern desk made of light maple veneer and black metal.

I can’t and wont change the paint, fixtures, carpet or furniture.

Please nothing purple or pink!
I’ve been looking but I just can’t find anything. Please help!
Haha. The cow is fine in her barn… It’s ME that needs a new room!

What kind of design like wall color and window treatments can I use with my new sofas? Pic of sofa!?

My sofa is the top right..the greenish Loden. I call it the big comfy couch. The piping is a beige cream color and the posts are a deep dark mahagoney. http://www.furniturefair.net/products.cfm?categoryID=9
