Given A Shot Of Glamour: A show stopping Mirror creates a focal point over the mantelpiece, while smaller pieces - candles, photos, vases - give the shelves a pretty, as well as practical edge. A bright cerise cushion adds a shot of oriental glamour and is tamed by the woolly grey cushion next to it - a perfect mix of comfort and contemporary style.
In the shot put a heavy metal sphere is propelled from a circle seven feet in diameter; four feet of its circumference—in the forepart of the circle—contains a toeboard four inches high. In this event the shot is not allowed to pass behind or below the shoulder, so that technically it is "put" rather than "thrown." A 16-pound shot is used in major masculine competition, such as in the Olympic Games, national championships, and intercollegiate competition; the 12-pound shot is usually used by males in secondary schools, and the 8-pound shot is used in feminine competition, including the Olympic Games. In the games the shot put is also one of the 10 decathlon events for men. A put of over 65 feet has been made with the 16-pound shot, and a woman has exceeded 56 feet with the 8-pound shot.
An informal mix of furniture has been combined to create a laid-back and friendly space. The simple, inexpensive Table is given a shot of glamour by a bright tablecloth, while stools are topped with cushions for comfort and colour. There are a couple of fold-up chairs, too - a versatile choice, as they can be stored away neatly when not needed. A white metal cabinet adds a contemporary edge. It's the kind of piece you might find in a home office, but it works brilliantly here, providing handy storage space. |
