It is made out of rope like a hammock. It used to be white but over the years it has changed color a bit. I want to get it white again without harming the rope.

bought a princess type netted hammock for my daughters bedroom from NEXT but it is not supplied with the hook to secure it to the ceiling, do I screw a curtain hook into the ceiling? It needs to be firm enough so that if she pulls onit it doesn’t fall down or ruin the brand new plastered ceiling !!!!!

Just about every person in the entire world owns at least one chair. Even if it’s an upside-down milk crate, we have to sit somewhere, right? I happen to be a person who thinks a lot about chairs. I like the way they look, the amazing varieties in which they are made, the way designs cross cultures and time.
I’d like to take a moment to discuss an issue that’s been on my mind lately. It might seem a bit odd or off-center, but I think you’ll see the logic behind my concerns.
For good or ill, we live in a very litigious society. People sue each other all the time, whether they have good cause or not. Millions, possibly billions of dollars are spent every year paying legal fees and settlements for these lawsuits, especially in personal injury cases. I guess a lot of people see these cases as get-rich-quick schemes. Sadly, they’re right.
Right about now, you might be wondering what all of these concerns have to do with chairs. Well, I’ll tell you.
Along with the increasing number of lawsuits, another unfortunate trend on the rise is obesity. More and more Americans are crossing the line between being healthy and being overweight, and the trend is getting worse. Fatter people are heavier people. I know enough about chairs to say that not every chair is built to hold very large person.
In fact, many common chairs are not safe for people over a certain weight.
By not acknowledging this, you are putting yourself at risk for being sued by a person who comes to your property and hurts himself when he sits in one of your chairs and it buckles underneath him.
Here are two examples of types of chairs that are most susceptible to this problem.
Anything suspended: Chairs that hang from the ceiling, hammocks, or porch-swing like chairs are particularly high risk. If you purchase one of these chairs, be sure to check the packaging for the weight limit. You might be surprised at how low it is! Take heed of the number, and stick to it. You might regret it if you don’t. If you have built your own hammock or swing, use good judgment and be sure your guests don’t overload it.
Folding chairs: That rickety folding lounge chair you’ve had since 1972 may be a loved favorite, but it can pose a risk. Many low-cost folding chairs (especially beach chairs, camping chairs and other outdoor chairs) are not very sturdy and can easily buckle under unexpectedly. If you have old beach chairs, you might want to invest in some new ones before you have your hefty in-laws over for a backyard barbeque. Also, many indoor-use folding chairs can break easily when their weight limits are exceeded. Again, older, cheaply manufactured chairs are most susceptible.
Most wood, metal or hybrid wood-and-metal chairs are sturdy and have high weight limits. If you primarily use these types of chairs then you probably have little to worry about. Even so, whenever you buy new chairs of any kind, be sure and know their weight limits. Adhere to them, and you and your guests will always sit in comfort and safety.

A Bahamas Honeymoon, in fact the perfect Bahamas vacation for many people could well be spent at a place called Tiamo on South Andros in the Bahamas. The only 100% solar powered ecoresort in the Bahamas.
If like me you had never heard of Tiamo or South Andros for that matter then hopefully this article will enlighten you about what it would be like if you chose it for your Bahamas Vacation.
You could take the slightly white knuckle Western Air flight from Nassau to Congo Town . You’ll be picked up by a driver and taken to the dock where the boat to Tiamo is waiting, or alternatively fly in straight to Tiamo by seaplane, landing next to the pristine 12 acre white sand beach.
On arrival the first thing you need to do is to take off your shoes at the dock, and put them away until you leave. Walk through the white sand paths that wind up to the Lodge and admire the contrast between the lush coconut trees and the turquoise sea, whilst your suitcases are taken to your private beach bungalow.
There are only eleven private beach front bungalows at Tiamo situated a short distance from the main lodge steps away from the water. They are all stylish and spacious kitted out quite simply with all the colours of the Caribbean, and designed in typical Caribbean style.
Obviously in an eco friendly place like Tiamo there is no air conditioning, televisions, or mobile phones, and this means the bungalows need to be designed for maximum exposure to the cooling breezes, so they are raised and open screened. They are private thanks to the tropical wilderness surrounding each one, and they have beautiful views of the South Bight.
Each room has a King Size bed, under a fan with comfortable chairs and a screened porch with loungers.
You’ll also find your own beachside hammock, very essential for lounging!! A spacious bathroom with beach rock floor and an open air view. Daily housekeeping, tea and coffee delivered and also purified water. You can expect high class toiletries, and additional items like an umbrella, flashlight, and bug spray, which you will certainly require at dusk.
The previously mentioned Lodge is the epicentre of this ecoresort. It is here you will eat , snack, drink and generally socialize, in the paradise that is South Andros Island.
This is the perfect place to spend a Bahamas Honeymoon not only because of the remoteness, and the beauty on South Andros, but also because of the great food. Tiamo is a real culinary adventure waiting to happen for you.
Breakfasts are a joy, with not only the usuals, but interesting varieties such as freshly baked hot pastries straight from the oven, Coconut French Toast, and Pacific Eggs Benedict.
Lunch which will have been preceded by activities like snorkeling, kayaking, or just horizontal gymnastics in your hammock, is likely to consist of grilled snapper fillet sandwiches, jerk chicken, salads, mango pesto, and other lovely delicious choices.
A snack to fortify you in the middle of an afternoon after some exploration is followed by an evening of culinary excellence almost unknown in the Bahamas or the Caribbean for that matter.
Happy hour starts off the experience with hors d’oeuvres and tasty cocktails.
Then the candlelit dinner party where all the guests mingle at one giant table with white linen and polished silver. As it is your Bahamas honeymoon you may well choose an intimate meal for two, but most guests look forward to conversations over good food and wine with similarly minded people from different parts of the world.
A Tiamo dinner will contain enticing appetizers and delicious entrees. You could be eating dishes as different Crispy skinned duck with wild Jamaican rice and citrus dressing or pineapple glazed Mahi with Caribbean couscous.
The accompanying wines and service are of the highest quality as well. Getting the chance to have this quality of dining in such a remote place is extraordinary.
The eco awareness at Tiamo extends as far as not serving Grouper, Lobster or Conch because the are so over fished, and the meal preparation and washing is done using solar heating for hot water, the the refrigeration and freezers are run from electricity generated by solar panels.
Tiamo is a 100% solar powered ecoresort, and a perfect escape after the exhaustion of a wedding to celebrate your Bahamas honeymoon, or just to escape the pressure of modern day life. It has been described as paradise, so why not find out for yourself.
