Decorating With a Silk Euro Sham
Silk European pillow shams can be used to create a decadent feel in any room. Layers of sumptuous silk pillows in varying sizes will set a luxurious tone to any bed ensemble. The sheen of the material has long been a decorators secret for effortlessly creating a rich and polished look. A quick browse through fine home decor magazines can provide home decorators with endless ideas of how best to use different shades and tones to create a contrasting or complimentary look in a room.
Long prized for it's regal appearance, silk is a natural protein fiber, most often obtained from the cocoons of the Mulberry Silk worm. Silk's trademark shimmering sheen is due to the triangular structure of the fiber. The triangular composition of the cloth makes it possible for the light to be refracted at different angles, giving the fabric the illusion of producing different colors.
A silk European pillow sham, like most Euro shams, typically measures 26" x 26". This large square pillow makes a wonderful base for a layering of pillows in various sizes. These large square pillows can be used as a backrest when reading in bed or for watching television. The decorative pillows are generally removed from the bed before sleeping.
Unlike a standard pillowcase, a silk European sham typically has an opening in the middle of the back of the case, allowing it to be inserted into the covering. The easiest way to cover a pillow with a Euro sham is to insert one side of the pillow into the sham before sliding the other side into it. The sham features overlapping fabric in the center of the back to provide full coverage of the inner pillow. The method of enclosing it from the center, rather than from one end as with a typical pillowcase, allows for a more uniform finished look and makes it easier to match all four corners of the pillow to the corners of the sham.
Silk European shams can be found in a spectacular array of colors, textures, patterns and styles. Choose a demure palate to compliment a soothing mood, or choose a bold pop of color to create a festive feel. Shopping for and choosing silk European pillow shams to customize a room's decor can be a wonderful way to personalize a special room or create a welcoming feel to a bedroom, and is sure to make your bed stand out in the room looking special and unique.

Why did the UK give up Hong Kong so easily, but still hang on to N. Ireland?
Ten years after the handover, Hong Kong is slipping away, and human rights there have become a sham. Meanwhile, the UK still hangs vehemently onto N. Ireland... Why do they live under such a double standard?
Hong Kong (Victoria) Island, and Kowloon were yours in perpetuity after the Opium wars of the 1840's.
What you did was get careless and 'lease' the New Territories, in 1898, for 99 years... (thinking probably that in 99 years there would be no China left.
Not All of Hong Kong was under a 'lease'... Thatcher should have stood her ground and actually regrets not doing it now...I don't think Deng would have gone to war with Britain over Hong Kong...
Not really a double standard. Hong Kong was LEASED from China with a return date. When the agreed upon date arrived, the city was returned. That to me is called being honest with their neighbors and themselves. No such agreement was ever negotiated with Ireland
