Antique Or Modern? Library Ladders for the Current Times

With all the rage over the internet and the undeniable resource of information the Worldwide Web proves to be, it's likely that it's been a while since you've been to a library-but if you frequent one, then you should know all about the side-rolling library ladders you can see in libraries. They come in varied forms, but they perform a single purpose. And while their main purpose is obvious, they can become a sort of an aesthetic factor for a library-especially a personal one. A stylish and well-made library ladder can add flair and personality to a room.

Wood Library Bookcases

The thing is, finding a library ladder that matches your bookshelves perfectly can be a challenge. Height is one thing, but the hardest part may very well be the wood. It never matches the wood of your shelves. You might even think about purchasing bookshelves and ladders together. That way you know everything fits and works well together.

Wood Library Bookcases

After deciding on the style of your ladder (or bookshelf with ladder), the next thing to consider is the ladder system you'd like to use. For instance, an antique library ladder can give that excellent classy touch to your library, but will be hefty on the budget. If that suits you fine, you should consult with antique dealers to find out what types of ladders are available, as using an antique one is all about creating a focal point for your library. Of course, you can check online for some antique ladders on eBay or somewhere else, but for purposes of visual matching (material, color, texture, and other elements), you may want to stick to ones you can actually see and feel.

Modern-style library ladders won't have as much of that classy feel, of course, but they may very well be more durable and they'd probably last longer. A newer design or style of ladder will also be more cheaper than an antique-though it would be difficult to find a cheap one that can impress as much as an antique. Most new designs of library ladders can also be tucked tightly against the bookshelf when unused and pulled out when needed-you can even find collapsible ones that can literally disappear from sight when not in use.

All in all it boils down to preference and what sort of feel or vibe you want for your library. All the other factors and features come in after that.

Woodworking Plans - An Essential Part of the Project

Good woodworking plans provide step-by-step instructions to guide even the less-experienced person through a project. These plans should give every detail, from start to finish, and if they do, they will be just as essential to the project as the tools and wood used. Whether the plan is for general cutting of wood or for more detailed scroll saw work, the craftsman can purchase plans, find no-cost plans on the Web or even create his own one-of-a-kind set of instructions for a unique project.

Wood Library Bookcases

Finding Plans

Wood Library Bookcases

The World Wide Web (sometimes called by the general term "Internet") has become a great source for finding free merchandise and services. Even woodworking plans are available at no cost from a few sources. Some of the more detailed plans for woodworking come with a reasonable price, so it will be necessary to take a close look at what is offered before deciding which set of plans will work best.

A Web search can be conducted with a goal of finding general woodworking plans and ideas, of if the craftsman has a particular project in mind, the search can be limited to that idea. The number of items available on the Web has grown significantly in the last few years, so those interested in woodworking plans may be able to find something as simple as plans for a wooden box or as elaborate as custom furniture. Other Web sites offer plans for wooden children's toys and for home decoration items. A simple phrase such as "free woodworking plans" entered in a Web search engine will probably uncover more ideas than anyone can use.

Many amateur craftsmen and woodworkers choose to find their patterns and ideas in books. Over the years, a number of experts have written books that can help the amateur or the more experienced craftsman looking for new ideas. These publications are available in bookstores, on the Web and even at the local library. In addition, many people rely on the excellent woodworking magazines that include good plans for a variety of projects. Some people find a particular magazine so helpful they subscribe and have it sent to their home each month.

Keep It Simple

Those who are new to the woodworking world should probably begin with a simple project and follow a simple plan. For the inexperienced, it is just as important to learn how to read and follow plans as it is to actually do the work. As with any task, when skills and experience increase, the individual can move on to more complex projects. Many beginners choose a simple, one-piece toy or similar plan for their first project. Tip: Keep in mind that plans should be detailed and complete, even for the simplest project.

The best plans will have detailed diagrams, for those who work best visually. These diagrams should be accompanied by clear instructions. Photographs taken at various times during the project are very helpful as part of the plan. Some who have established woodworking as a hobby even print copies of the plans and put them in a binder for future reference. The pages will remain undamaged and will be easier to find when they are needed again. More experienced woodworkers may even choose to change a detail or two in a printed plan, to give the project a personal touch.

Creating Plans

More experienced craftsmen sometimes create their own plan for a particular project or a particular style. This plan can begin with a general sketch of how the finished item should look (not too detailed or technically accurate). After this idea is on paper, it is time to settle on details and actual dimensions. The type of wood to be used should be one of the early details of a project plan as well.

Some of the more important parts of a good plan are:

oAccurate measurements to determine amount of wood needed
oOther materials needed, such as hardware, nails, screws, glue etc.
oFinish coat - paint, stain etc.
oEstimate of cost and time to complete the project

At this point, the craftsman can created a more detailed drawing. This step may include diagrams (the blueprint for the project). Each diagram or finished sketch should be accompanied by detailed instructions. Remember, a good plan is just as important as good wood.

Decorating Under the Stairs - Part 2

Opening up the area under hall stairs adds a feeling of spaciousness to the entrance area and gives you more room to put the hall to practical use. The same goes for opening stairs up into a room - you create a visually interesting niche, framed by the staircase, which you can use in any of the following ways:

Wood Library Bookcases

A Library

Wood Library Bookcases

If you have a fairly large space and lots of books and magazines, how about setting up a mini-library? Line the walls under the stairs with shelves - adjustable ones are a good idea, allowing you to vary and alter the spacing to store all sizes of books and magazines. Painting the shelves to match the baseboard and other moldings gives the space an integrated feel. Use recessed spotlights or angled floor lamps to illuminate the books as well as to provide reading light. For a really high-tech touch, fix up strip lighting on the shelves themselves to highlight the books.

If space permits, add a comfortable chair, looking out into the room or hall. The stairs themselves often protect the space underneath from drafts, making it a cozy place to sit and browse through the books.

A Work Space

You don't need much room for a compact home office. Install a desk or fitted work surface with roll-out filing cabinets or a stack of baskets underneath. Fix shelves to the walls above the desk and add a swivel chair on castors. Provide a telephone jack and power outlets for electronic equipment. Multi-purpose office machines, such as a combination phone, fax, and answering machine, fit into some remarkably small spaces.

Good lighting is essential, especially if you sit with your back to the natural light source. Wall-mounted bracket lighting may be more practical than a desk lamp, which takes up some of the valuable, but limited, space on your work surface.

A Telephone Corner

Set up a private telephone area under the stairs. All you need is a phone and phone jack, a comfortable chair, and a telephone table - use one with a shelf or drawer underneath for message pads, pens, and telephone books. A wall-mounted adjustable spotlight or torchere with a dimmer switch gives you enough light to read phone numbers, but allows you to dim the lights to a pleasant glow for a chat to family or friends.

A Display Area

Shallow under-stair spaces fitted with shelves are ideal for displaying collections of attractive objects, such as glass or china. Put up open shelving or place precious collections behind glass. It is also a good place to display collections of watercolors, delicate needlework or fabrics because they are usually protected from damaging exposure to direct sunlight.

Closed-in Space

You may decide to close in the space under the stairs instead. Using wooden panels, tongue-and-groove boards, or sheets of plywood effectively creates a useful storage closet. If you equip the area with plenty of hooks and shelves, you can store a large quantity of household paraphernalia away under there. For easy access, fit a full-size, outward-opening door a little away from the end wall, so that you can put shelves behind the door as well. Make sure that the space is adequately lit, locating the light switch by the door.

Utility space: You may even be able to keep large kitchen appliances, like a freezer, tumble dryer, or washing machine under the stairs. Check out the practicalities of installing power outlets and plumbing first, of course. Also ensure that you can comply with the regulations for adequate ventilation in windowless spaces by installing a ventilating kit for the dryer and an exhaust fan to the outside.

Bathroom space: In many homes, there is enough room to add a toilet or mini-shower room under the stairs, as long as it is practical to supply power outlets, plumbing, and ventilation. Consult a plumber for professional advice and be sure to get a quote for the work before embarking on the conversion.

Puebla, Mexico - Gastronomy and World Heritage - A Winning Combination

As a result of my visit to Puebla, I discovered some of its rich heritage and left with a longing to return and discover more.

Wood Library Bookcases

Puebla is the 5th largest city in Mexico as well as a state. In 1987 UNESCO declared Puebla a World Heritage Site due to its baroque renaissance and classical architectural styles. This city is home to more than 5,000 colonial buildings which are mostly baroque in style and constructed during the 16th century.

When choosing to visit Puebla, I was initially drawn to its reputation as the gastronomic capital of Mexico. Its cuisine is a combination of pre-Hispanic, Arabic, French and Spanish influence. Two of its world-famous dishes are Chiles en Nogada (stuffed poblano chili peppers bathed in walnut sauce) and mole poblano (a regional mole dish).

Known as the City of Angels, Puebla lies 84 miles (136 km) from Mexico City. It does have some direct air service, but I flew into Mexico City and took a bus service (new Mercedes with air conditioning) directly from the airport for a 90 minute ride. A bus departs every 30 minutes so it was quite convenient.

I had only planned five days and I should have planned 10 days in order to experience some of the smaller cities and towns in the state of Puebla.

Arriving in the late afternoon, I was tired and had an early dinner at Sacristia De la Compania Hotel where I was staying.

Staying at this hotel was a good choice on my part. It is one of the Hotels Con Angel group of boutique properties. These are all small hotels in residences over three centuries old that have been remodeled and renovated. Each of the hotels have a Talavera Angel Wing where you can experience the handicrafts of Puebla which are known worldwide.

I loved picking out one of two rooms for my stay. It was a difficult choice as each one was uniquely decorated with breathtaking antiques. In fact, the entire hotel was decorated that way.

Having dinner early, I retired to my room, opened my balcony shutters, and stepped out to view the happenings on the street below. As the evening grew on, the activities increased. It was fascinating.

The next morning after breakfast, I was ready to venture to Cholula to visit the archelogical zone with the world's largest pyramid, San's Gabriel Convent where they have the original mole kitchen, Holy Mary Tonantzinta, Royal Chapel and the food at the Center of Cholula.

The pyramid was a surprise. Going underground through its tunnels showed the building skills prevalent at the time. Walking the perimeter let me experience the sheer size of this structure which was built layer upon layer by later civilizations.

After visiting Cholula, we drove back to Puebla to enjoy a late lunch with some tourism representatives. They took me to Fonda De Sta Clara which has been fine dining in the Pueblan tradition since 1965. Since it was still the season for Chiles en Nogada, that was my choice.

I learned the legend of the dish from the Historic Counsel of Puebla City: In 1821, three centuries of Spanish domination came to an end. It was called the year of three colors... the three colors of the Mexican flag. Historical character Agustin de liturbide y Aramburu, and the city of Puebla, would swear freedom for the first time. This freedom established three guarantees: religion, union, and independence.

Agustin was to be gratified and the poblans nuns encouraged by the enthusiasm of a "new Mexico" decided to prepare a dish that included the three symbolic colors of the flag. Their skilled hands created the dish know as Chiles en Nogada," to symbolize the pure and symbolic spirit of patriotism and nationalism.

The recipe is made from the season's ingredients and the secret resides in the combination of flavor from the "Castilla nuts," sauce, "Corona grenades and vermillion," chili and parsley. The stuffing includes the fruits of August.

The formula is simple, and includes careful preparation and delicate spicing. It's performance is parallel to that event that wrote pages in the gold book of Mexican gastronomy, and the platinum volume of poblan kitchen. Again, this is a legend. If any of you readers would like the recipe to the Puebla Mole or Chiles en Nogada, just send me an e-mail.

After our wonderful luncheon we stopped at other small hotels along the way so I could see the abundance of accommodations besides the well known chains. Each hotel had its own distinctive charm and the personalities of its owners showed through.

After returning to my hotel, I decided to explore the streets surrounding the hotel as well as walk back to the square. The square was alive with activity as well as the nearby streets. The furniture and pottery drew me like a magnet. It's a good thing I don't have room for more furniture. It was so tempting as the craftsmanship was magnificent. Oh how I wished I would have planned to be there for the weekend so I could experience the markets.

The next morning it was time for cooking school. I've attended many cooking schools, classes, demonstrations, etc. and Executive Chef Alonso Hernández leads the small hands-on classes with comfort and ease. His English is very good, a wonderful sense of humor, and is a fine teacher. He takes great pride in having you understand and learn Mexican cooking. There is also a translator to explain subtleties as you learn the most traditional Pueblan and Mexican dishes. You'll also learn about most kind of chiles, by using pre-Hispanic and home-made cooking techniques in Mexico. The goal of the school is to share culinary secrets and have attendees have a memorable and wonderful time.

Our class started off by walking from the hotel to the market to shop for the ingredients for our mole. As we picked out Mulato chilies, Ancho chilies, and Pasilla chilies, Chef Alonso explained the various chilies and the level of capsaicin the makes them hot.

The market was overwhelming with all of the fresh produce. I couldn't help myself, I purchased a stick of cinnamon that was 1 ½ inches of diameter and approximately 14 inches long. I'd never seen cinnamon sticks so large and aromatic. It did wonders for my suitcase.

Chef wanted us to experience a fresh sandwich from the market. I shared one and my half was huge. The number of sandwiches this fresh counter turns out is amazing.

After we fished our marketing, we went back to the hotel kitchen for our class.

If you visit hotelesconangel.com/ you can find out about the hotel and the cooking school.

If I had more time in Puebla, I would have gone back to the market and spent several hours. It was fascinating.

After learning to make Mole, it was time for a tour of the city of Puebla. First came the Cathedral with its 14 chapels of various styles and many works of art. The main façade is baroque. Its 228 foot (69 meter) towers are the tallest in Mexico. The choir area has exceptionally crafted benches with inlays of ivory, onyx and wood and ornamental Arabic bows. It is also home to two organs which were donated by Carlos V.

La Concordia y el Patio de los Azulejos is considered to represent local architecture with its hewn stone, baroque-style façade and marble images of saints.

The building I found fascinating was Biublioteca Palafoxiana. This is a library museum that was designated a historical monument by presidential decree due to its extensive book collection. It is home to over 43,000 volumes in numerous languages including Hebrew, Latin, Sanskrit, Chaldean and Greek. The subjects include philosophy, theology and canon law as well as other themes. It has valuable texts, such asa the Nuremberg Chronicle, which dates 1493. It is also home to the Christian Doctrine, Ortelius Atlas and the Polyglot Bible. There is quite a bit of art work including one of Saint Thomas Aquinas. The craftsmanship in the onyx inlaid tables and sculpted bookcases are worth seeing.

Puebla has more historical buildings than I can begin to describe. They show the vibrancy of the area now and in the past. Its museums are equally impressive. You can visit visitmexico.com and search for Puebla. Then you will discover a great deal more about Puebla.

After returning to the hotel, my friend Lily and I went for a walk locally. She wanted me to experience a local drink made in Puebla. The owner has been approached to make his prize product on a large scale. He says, "no." He makes as much as he wants, opens and closes when he wants, stays busy and enjoys life. I bought a bottle to bring home.

That night it was time to pack. I new I would miss some of my newly made friends. I also knew we would stay in contact and I may see them again some day as I do plan to return to Puebla.
