Balineum, the London based online luxury bathroom business and curators of lovely linens, accessories and bathroom furniture launch new Mercer cabinet design.

Medicine cabinets are notorious for humdrum utilitarian construction and a seemingly unavoidable invitation for snooping.

We've decided to change that with the introduction of the Mercer medicine cabinet. Handcrafted in England, this sleek design shown at Decorex last year, features a flat mirrored door that sits flush against a generously proportioned metal frame (available in a range of luxe finishes, from Chrome to Nickel to Bronze, Brass and Gold). Opt for the knob in the same finish and it appears so discrete, visitors will think it's nothing more than a handsome mirror. Inside, however, are 3 adjustable glass shelves and a lining available in a range of colors. The perfect repository for all one's daily necessities!

Kuala Lumpur - Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Malaysia Airlines Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said on Friday it was very difficult to break the devastating news of the loss of the aircraft, especially to a large number of family members of passengers and crew onboard MH370.

The CEO added in the airline's latest statement, “however, the well-being and feelings of family members are and have always been close to our hearts and minds”.

The airline reiterated its focus has always been "to comfort and support" the families of those involved and support the multi- national search effort. It also promised to continue doing this while supporting the investigation work.

Malaysia Airlines lauded especially the Australian government for its supports since satellite findings first indicated that flight MH370 ended in the South Indian Ocean nearest to Australia.

Australia has offered an exemption of visa application process for families of passengers and crew on board MH370. According to the statement, Malaysia Airlines will make arrangements to take family members to Perth, should physical wreckage be found.

"Whilst we understand that there will inevitably be speculation during this period, we do ask people to bear in mind the effect this has on the families of all those on board," the airline company said, adding they were thankful for media publications that had been responsible in their reporting of MH370.

It added they would continue to cooperate in providing such information as they can but since “independent investigations are now underway and we do operate under strict constraints in this regard”.
