Seeing an Opera in Sydney
By Viator, September 2015
While there is much more to Sydney Opera House than opera, it has to be Australia's most exciting venue to watch a performance by the world-renowned, Opera Australia. Predating the Sydney Opera House (which was opened in 1973) by almost 20 years, Opera Australia brought high-end culture to a country that was crying out for sophisticated and artistic entertainment, and remains to this day Australia's largest and most productive performing arts organization with over 600 performances a year.
It is easy to plan your night at the opera because the season is scheduled at least a year in advance. Novices can pick their way through the maze of operas or work out which opera might best suit them.
For a night at the opera with a difference, Sydney visitors might wish to plan their trip to coincide with the once yearly opera performance that takes place on the Sydney Harbour. This fantastic show began in 2012 and runs every March - April. The harbour performance is a one-off opportunity to watch a world-renowned opera take place on a floating stage with the world's most spectacular natural harbour as a backdrop. You may not be inside the famous Sydney Opera House, but you get to see its famous sails, along with the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the city's glittering North Shore.

Drew Carey, Move Your Car!
They'll be our Mirrors, reflecting what Cleveland r'n'r truly achieved in those oft abused 1970s. Retrieved from the same Velvets salt mine that gave us the Dead Boys and Pere Ubu in that time, recent CD releases of fugitive recordings from the previously barely heard Rocket From the Tombs, Mirrors, Styrenes, and Electric Eels have revealed the reach of that always shifting collective of hiptrons who scooped up spilled guitars from Cleveland's freeways as the '70s rear-ended the stalled '60s. All bands noted above were linked by personnel overlaps, sometimes via the nexus of legendary flameout Peter Laughner, though (don't say "the") Mirrors were always primarily Jamie Klimek's brainchild. He seems to have regarded Lou Reed less as the dark-angel auteur celebrated elsewhere on that scene than as a regular-guy role model who'd made rather basic vocal and guitar skills into rock 'n' roll of the spheres. A few early Klimek songs did echo the Velvets, but then Mirrors crack'd (especially as bassist-keyboardist Paul Marotta came aboard) into glowing shards of what would later be called "powerpop" (albeit fat-tied here): chop-melodic guitars and waveringly true vocals.
The earlier Mirrors compilation Hands in My Pockets (Overground import, 2001) includes cuts from various lineups and songwriters, but Another Nail in the Remodeled Coffin focuses on the nucleus of Klimek, Marotta, and drummer Paul Laurence, with all the chiming-neuroses compositions strictly Klimekian, marking out a firm stylistic identity, even with numerous extra cuts not on the 1989 version of the album. So luminous that only Cleveland knew at the time, these Mirrors shattered in 1975, mutating into the artier Styrenes. But this fetish disc of the aboriginal Mirrors is worth the price of remission for Klimek's liner notes alone: "Lyrics not available on request. Listen harder or buy the songbook."

The Philistines were nearly subdued (1 Chron. 18:1); but, as in the destruction of the Canaanites by Joshua the sons of Anak were last subdued (Josh. 11:21), so here in the conquest of the Philistines the giants of Gath were last brought down. In the conflicts between grace and corruption there are some sins which, like these giants, keep their ground a great while and are not mastered without much difficulty and a long struggle: but judgment will be brought forth unto victory at last. Observe, 1. We never read of giants among the Israelites as we do of the giants among the Philistines-giants of Gath, but not giants of Jerusalem. The growth of God's plants is in usefulness, not in bulk. Those who covet to have cubits added to their stature do not consider that it will but make then more unwieldy. In the balance of the sanctuary David far outweighs Goliath. 2. The servants of David, though men of ordinary stature, were too hard for the giants of Gath in every encounter, because they had God on their side, who takes pleasure in abasing lofty looks, and mortifying the giants that are in the earth, as he did of old by the deluge, though they were men of renown. Never let the church's friends be disheartened by the power and pride of the church's enemies. We need not fear great men against us while we have the great God for us. What will a finger more on each hand do, or a toe more on each foot, in contest with Omnipotence? 3. These giants defied Israel (1 Chron. 20:7) and were thus made to pay for their insolence. None are more visibly marked for ruin that those who reproach God and his Israel. God will do great things rather than suffer the enemy to behave themselves proudly, Deut. 32:27. The victories of the Son of David, like those of David himself, are gradual. We see not yet all things put under him; but it will be seen shortly: and death itself, the last enemy, like these giants, will be triumphed over.

The film:
- Ben Richards give a classic hero speech to a trapped Dynamo.
Richards: No. I won't kill a helpless human being. Not even sadistic scum... like you.
- His response to Killian's offer of a contract as a network stalker is also pretty impressive:
(Having wrenched a camera off the wall) You cold-blooded bastard! I'll tell you what I think of it; I'll live to see you eat that contract! But I hope you leave enough room for my fist, because I'm going to ram it into your stomach and break your goddamn spine! (smashes the camera)
- Cinema Sins actually took off a sin point for this line.
- Killian is one of the few characters who actually gets to have a good comeback to Arnold's "I'll be back." "Only in a rerun."
- Dynamo's introduction, where he sings opera and uses his Lightning Gun to power a neon sign saying "Clap if you love DYNAMO!" We do, because we do.
- "One of us is in big trouble!"
- Richards sending Killian crashing through a billboard sign and blowing him up followed by the Bond One-Liner: "Well, that hit the spot."

A brick-sized Game Boy Advance SP
Been meaning to do this for some time. This was first done back in 2010 but the person who showed photos of it never released a full tutorial on how he did it. So I shot this video showing all the steps I took to squeeze a Gameboy advance sp into an original (brick) Gameboy.
some pictures can be found here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/100983775122405766032/albums/5867871390921237153

text: David Bilger Philadelphia Orchestra Members Help Train a New Youth Orchestra By David Patrick Stearns • Jul 4, 2016 Listen Listening... / 2:07 Listen to the radio feature. Philadelphia can expect symphonic fireworks over the Fourth of July weekend when the Kimmel Center hosts the first performance by the National Youth Orchestra 2 on Saturday. NYO2 was formed by Carnegie Hall's educational arm and is coached by members of The Philadelphia Orchestra. But catching any of the musicians between classes and rehearsals wasn't easy for the Philadelphia Inquirer's David Patrick Stearns. The Philadelphians in Concert on WRTI: Vivaldi's THE FOUR SEASONS, August 24th at 1 PM By Gregg Whiteside • Aug 23, 2014 This Sunday at 1 pm on WRTI, it's a delightful re-broadcast of a Philadelphia Orchestra program from last November at Verizon Hall, which begins with Vivaldi's famous four violin concerti known as "The Four Seasons," as vivid today as they were nearly 300 years ago. Violinist Giuliano Carmignola joins Richard Egarr, two of the foremost early-music specialists in the world today, for performances of these works. The Art of Creating 18th-Century Sounds on Modern Instruments By Susan Lewis • Aug 18, 2014 On Sunday August 24, 2014, WRTI broadcasts a Philadelphia Orchestra concert featuring a Haydn symphony that was first played in 1794. WRTI's Susan Lewis talked with the orchestra's principal trumpet about using modern instruments to produce a more 18th-century sound. The program also includes Vivaldi's Four Seasons and Purcell's Suite No. 1 from The Fairy-Queen. It's Carmina Burana and The Philadelphia Orchestra on WRTI: Oct. 27 at 1 pm By Gregg Whiteside • Oct 25, 2013 Following a weekend of Philadelphia Orchestra concerts at Verizon Hall under guest conductor Rafael Freuhbeck de Borgos, be sure to join us this Sunday afternoon at 1 pm to hear a rebroadcast of a concert from this past February that featured Maestro Freuhbeck conducting one of his signature works, Carmina Burana! The Philadelphia Orchestra In Concert program also includes Haydn's Symphony No. 1, and the ever-popular Jan Nepomuk Hummel Trumpet Concerto, performed by the Orchestra's Principal Trumpet David Bilger. Hummel's Trumpet Concerto: From Obscurity to a Staple of the Repertoire By Susan Lewis • Oct 21, 2013 While there are many concertos for string instruments, fewer works exist for woodwinds, brass or percussion. Yet, as Susan Lewis reports, a previously under-performed work for trumpet from the early 19th century became part of the standard repertoire in the second half of the 20th. The Philadelphia Orchestra In Concert: Orff, Hummel, & Haydn, March 17, 2 pm By Gregg Whiteside • Mar 14, 2013 This Sunday on WRTI, Carl Orff's iconic Carmina burana headlines a program that also features The Philadelphia Orchestra's Principal Trumpet David Bilger in a performance of Hummel's beloved Trumpet Concerto, as well as Haydn's rarely performed Symphony No. 1. Sunday, March 17, 2 to 4 pm. Guest Conductor Rafael Fruehbeck de Bourgos, who knew Carl Orff and gave the first performance of Carmina burana in Spain, will direct The Philadelphia Orchestra, the Philadelphia Singers, the American Boychoir, and soloists in this authoritative performance from February at the Kimmel Center's Verizon Hall. Orff's raucous retelling of 24 medieval poems praises springtime, love, lust, and fortune. It requires a huge orchestra and a chorus singing a mix of old languages. The riveting choral refrains of "O Fortuna" open and close Carmina burana. While many sections of this iconic work have been re-used in movies and commercials, nothing equals the power when you hear this live, in its entirety.

Principal Players From The Philadelphia Orchestra Teaching Students Worldwide Via The Internet By Susan Lewis • Oct 20, 2012 Classical music is a complex art form, and learning an instrument well takes not only talent but many hours, days, and years of lessons and practice. While the talent necessary to play an orchestral instrument hasn't changed much over the years, today, Internet and video technology are offering new ways of teaching and learning an instrument, with the potential to connect large numbers of students with some of the best musicians in the world.

Do you know me? Do you know me?
I am known by many a name,
People play it like a game.
Some say I am filled with glee;
Others say I am lonely as a tree.
My creator says I am gift and a curse;
My destroyer says I am even worse.
A friend says I am helpful,
A foe says I am vengeful.
Who am I? Who am I?
See me through your eye.
Do you see me?
I am a kid;
Trying to fit:
In a huge puzzle - I am a little piece;
Searching to find my place of peace.
Who am I!

Police are trying to trace the owner of a handwritten letter from the wife of Winston Churchill, which was recovered during a drugs raid.
Officers executing a warrant last month at a house in Mexborough, South Yorkshire, found the letter, and three cheques mounted on a card, inside a plastic sleeve with a quantity of heroin.
A 55-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of theft and possessing class A drugs at the property. The woman's 32-year-old son and her sister, 41, were also arrested on suspicion of theft. They have been bailed until October while police make further inquiries.
The letter, dated 1942, is addressed to a married woman in the South Yorkshire area. The letter, signed by Clementine Churchill, says: "This is to acknowledge with grateful thanks your contribution to Mrs Churchill's Red Cross Aid to Russia Fund."
The Aid to Russia fund, set up by the Red Cross in 1941 to pay for clothing and medical supplies to send to Britain's Russian allies, raised £8m. Mrs Churchill was the fund's president.
PC Steve Roberts of Doncaster police said: "The address on the letter is not in Doncaster but it is South Yorkshire. I am confident it is not a reproduction as it is handwritten on both sides. We urge anyone with any information about the letter or who believes it may belong to them to get in touch with us." Doncaster police can be contacted on 01302 385199.

Tiger King has developed 6 other emulators for Android, mostly geared around Gameboy devices and general Nintendo devices. His newest emulator, Tiger Lab, is in very early beta development but he has decided to release it as more of a Proof-of-Concept. Tiger Labs is a Nintendo DS emulator.
While, as we mentioned, this is in early beta, like really early beta, you will be able to play Nintendo DS roms on your Android device using Tiger Lab. It will also be very slow, but that comes with the territory of being a very early beta release.
Notes from the developer:
How to use/play/demo the Tiger Lab Nintendo DS Emulator:
Pretty simple instructions but the developer does warn, multiple times, the speed if very slow right now even on high-end phones. So while you may get a game or two to play, somewhat, on Tiger Lab, you probably won't get to do a whole lot. As a Proof-of-Concept though, this is awesome.
It is only available for a limited time on the Android Market so if you want to get it and try it out, better do it now! Tiger King has a lot planned for it so we will be following the development as it progresses.

Monster Dash
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Monster Dash is a fast-paced action game about surviving as long as possible while killing monsters along the way. The app has some mild suggestive language and humor, as well as a lot of cartoon violence. There are a few privacy issues with the use of Open Feint, but players can opt for Game Center instead.
User reviews
Parents say
Kids say
What's it about?
MONSTER DASH is a simple-to-play side-scrolling action game. Hero Barry Steakfries is on the run, shooting monsters and trying to stay alive. Barry runs automatically, getting faster and faster; players control his jumps by tapping the left corner of the screen, and they control his shooting by tapping the left corner of the screen. Along the way, Barry collects weapons to use against the monsters. When he runs out of hearts or falls into a pit, he dies.
Is it any good?
Monster Dash is a great side-scrolling action game. The controls are simple -- jump or shoot -- as hero Barry Steakfries runs faster and faster. Monsters, spikes, and pits are dangerous, but Barry has his trusty shotgun and can also collect a variety of outlandish weapons, including a machine-gun jetpack that allows him to fly by spraying bullets below him.
After every 1,000 meters, Barry teleports to a different world, facing zombies, vampires, abominable snowmen, and other monsters. There's a great attention to detail in the graphics and animation, and as Barry speeds up it gets more and more challenging to keep up. With a wide variety of achievements, and different comments when you inevitably die, Monster Dash is a very funny, very fun game for older kids and adults.

There's no point sugar-coating it. The Canucks performance yesterday was brutal, and the game was simply hard to watch.
Is there anything that makes Canucks fans as uniquely furious as watching their team lose to Chicago, in the Mad House, in a blow-out? I found that the anger physiologically lodged itself in the pit of my stomach, a sensation similar to the one you get when you leave your belly some 40 feet behind you on a roller coaster - except it's a dull, resentful feeling - totally devoid of "amusement park ride" exhilaration.
That being said - the Canucks still have a commanding lead in this playoff series, and get a prime chance to finish off the nemesis Blackhawks in Vancouver on Thursday night.
Dave Bolland was unbelievable. He had four points - scoring all of them at 5-on-5, despite beginning only two shifts in the offensive zone. More importantly, he was matched up against the Sedins who he dominated. As the corsi numbers make clear, the first unit (including Ehrhoff and Edler, who take most of their shifts with the Sedins) had a terrible night.
It's important to remember, that a game that could've gone either way - like the LA-San Jose game last night - are usually more devastating to the psyche of a team, than a blowout loss. The Canucks can put this in their rear-view mirror with a solid home performance on Thursday, and anyone who has watched this team respond to adversity all year has to like their chances.
If the Blackhawks do manage the highly unlikely, and come back to win this series - it would, combined with the Philly comeback from last season, represent one of the all-time weirdest Poisson Bursts.
Three Big Stats
1. 19-4-5 - I'm trying to stay positive here, and 19-4-5 was the record the Canucks posted in the two months that immediately followed the last time the Blackhawks put up 7 goals against them in a game (November 20th 2010).
2. +10. Kevin Bieksa's Corsi number from last night. As it was last year - the one Canucks player who seems to be able to keep it together against the Blackhawks when things are going badly at the Mad-House is #3. It's strange to think that the Canucks "shut-down" pairing had a strong game in a 7-2 blowout, but that is indeed what happened.
3. 1 goal, 3 assists, 3SOG, 2 hits, 2PIM, +4 with a +13 Corsi. That was what Dave Bolland posted last night. What a remarkable performance from the Blackhawks centre - and in his first game back after a long injury layoff. Obviously I wish last night's game had never happened - but I'll remember that playoff performance for a long time. Borderline heroic stuff from Mr. Bolland.
Three Big Moments
1. Duncan Keith's GWG was the one that sealed the Canucks fate. It's always so important to have a strong push-back shift directly after a goal, however, the Canucks clumsily fail to gain the blueline and then Duncan Keith waltzes in for a gimme. No chance for Luongo on this goal
2. This is a Canucks blog, so I'm not going to put anymore Blackhawks goals in my top three plays. I will, however, admit that Campbell's goal, and Sharp's 2nd goal, were of the jaw-dropping variety. Instead of those highlights, here's Patrick Kane demonstrating how well he takes a punch:
3. As PiTB persuasively argued, Luongo was not responsible for last night's blow-out. But that's not how the Canucks haters will see it. Which, is fine, but Luongo is still my guy - and I have the utmost faith in him to bounce back on Thursday. Why? Becasue he makes saves like this one on Jonathan "don't call me Dave Bolland" Toews.
The all important game 5 will be played on Thursday at 7PM PST at Rogers Arena. It should be a doozy.
Tell Bieska he is a "Pretty" tough guy to fight the Swede. & who cares if the Swede put him on his ass, good hit. Bieska doesn't want to tangle with Scott but he wants to go with a non-fighter.
I hope you nuckers choke!!!!
April 20 2011, 02:22PM
LOL, the swedes you listed are all tough but whens the last time they fought???
If Van is my team, I like what Bieksa did but any who hates the nucks thinks it was a p*s*y move.
Other than Bieksa, there is absolutely nothing to like about that game from a canucks standpoint. The big guys were all absolutely terrible which you point out.
It will be interesting to see what happens thursday. The 1st period will be key to see whether its a "new" game or a continuation of game 4
April 20 2011, 05:14PM
In fairness, its true though. They have that reputation for a reason. Remember when Cherry totalled all the goals scored in the playoffs by canadians last year. I wanna say it was like 90%. It was ridiculously high either way.
I have to say I'm rootin for the hawks but the game last night made it a series at least either way. Still a HUGE hole to dig themselves out of to even give themselves a shot at game 6!
I know it got beat to death but Bolland is a MAJOR part of the hawks in the post season. Without him, there's no one to play a defensive role that can also score which is what its all about this time o year
April 20 2011, 10:36PM
It will certainly tell the story. Chicago wins and all but guaranteed to be a game 7
PS - you guys do good work here. Keep it up and the fans will come. Im over at oilersnation obviously lol but like to keep up on what the fans are sayin with other teams
Are you on twitter?

Im using midi to control some bits in my project. Midi range goes from 0 to 127 as you all know.
Is there any way to create a patch that can increase this range to allow a smooth control between number like 0 to 1027 without jumping past certain numbers.
Does this make sense?
For example Mackie use there HUI protocol to do this with the Universal Controller.
It depends on your Midi controller. If you can make it put out pitch bend messages then it is possible.
A normal control message is 7 bit = 0-127 but the the Pitch bend control for example uses both LSB and MSB (Least and most significant byte) which means 2×7 bit = 0-16383.
Then use the object xbendin.
Thx, il look into it. I might have to make something using key on off messages.
If your controller sends high resolution values it should be possible, have a look at my ctl.in, which has a hires mode…
Basically those controllers send two bytes of data with two controller numbers, you just have to interpret them correctly…

When faith and facts collide, Jo Marcha young woman born into an Evangelical Christian dynastywrestles with questions about who she is and how she fits into the weave of her faithful family. Chasing loose threads that she hopes will lead to the truth, Jo sets off on an unlikely quest across boundaries of language and religion, through chasms of sectarian divides in the Muslim world. Against the backdrop of the War on Terrortravelling from California to Chicago, Pakistan to Iraqshe delves deeply into the past, encountering relatives, often for the first time, whose histories are intricately intertwined with her own . . . only to learn that true spiritual devotion is a broken field riddled with doubt and that nothing is ever as it seems.
A story of forbidden love and familial dysfunction that interweaves multiple generational and cultural viewpoints, The Sweetness of Tears is a powerful reminder of the ties that bind us, the choices that divide us, and the universal joys and tragedies that shape us all.
"...A family story, and the many threads eventually cleave to illustrate how a complicated blend of race, religion, culture, and tradition can create peace rather than conflict."
-Publishers Weekly
"The type of storytelling that opens the reader's eyes to other lives."
-The Columbus Dispatch
"[Haji's] new novel will appeal to readers interested in the clash of cultures. Promising for discussion, as the reading group guide suggests."
-Library Journal

With more people treating their pets as part of the family, many are now writing ongoing support and care for their furry friends into their will.
The observation was made by veteran estate planner Elsa Pau Yuen-ling, who said she saw a couple of cases a year in which her clients decide to include pet care in their wills.
"In the past, you probably saw one case every few years as people rarely had their pets on their mind when they made their estate planning. But for the past three years, we have seen more people include care of their pet in their wills. They want to make sure their animals will be taken good care of when their owners are no longer around," said Pau, who has been in the trade for about 10 years.
Since pets cannot be a beneficiary under the law, the testators have to set up a trust from which the money can go to the care of the animal, she explained.
"So the trustee falls under a duty to find a carer for the animal," she said.
Over the past three years, the SPCA has received more than HK$80,000 from three donors who bequeathed part of their estates to the charity in their will.
"In the past, we used to come across this kind of donation only once every few yeaers," a spokeswoman for the organisation said.
Pau also found that since people now were more open to preparing a will, the number of her clients had jumped about 30 per cent in the past five years.
"After seeing all the high-profile legal battles in court, such as the probate disputes over the estates of late billionaire Nina Wang Kung Yu-sum and late Cantopop diva Anita Mui Yim-fong, people have started to believe they should better prepare their estates for their loved ones to help avoid legal disputes among family members," Pau said.
In 2011, an Italian cat became one of the world's richest animals after inheriting almost £10 million (HK$122.4 million) when his wealthy owner, Maria Assunta, died at the age of 94 and left him the entire family fortune. Tommaso was a stray cat she had found on the streets of Rome and looked after because of her love for animals.
Assunta had a large property portfolio with homes and villas across the country, as well as several bank accounts and share portfolios, but no living relatives.
In 2007, a Maltese named Trouble was left a US$12 million trust fund by his New York real estate tycoon owner Leona Helmsley.
Steven Gallagher, law professor at the Chinese University, said if people wanted to leave money for their pets, he didn't t see why they shouldn't do it.

What Nelson needs is a little bit of everything, love, obedience, and freedom!!! But what he needs most is that special person. We need to get them together. He has an abundance of energy but he is still a youngster and sadly growing up in the shelter which is just not good. He needs a home where he will have his own person to work with him every day. He is super smart but the shelter does not have the staff to do this daily. He is overly playful and wants to put his mouth on your arm and hands but not to bite you. They are recommending a home with no children. Also not sure about other dogs. He can be picky about people also. ... (Read More)There has to be the perfect person for him somewhere!!! Nelson is very special to us here at the shelter. He's been here a very long time waiting for that special person to find him and accept him for who he is. If you have a fenced in yard and kiddie pool he will be extremely happy!!!! (Less)

3 Days in Venice
Museum Guide for Venice
A Week in Venice
Average coffee. Pizza pre-made and not the classic freshly made Italian thin base, disappointing. Prices still same as other restaurants that offer quality pizzas.
Come here for spritzers and lots of Venetian locals. A beautiful panini or simply a spritzer, birra or caffe. Watch the Venetian world go by and know you can be a part of it.
Barcollo Mod is a relatively new bar used by locals on a main street. It's outside the main tourist areas and has tables inside and out. We lunched on paninis. Reasonably priced.
We stopped for a spritzer. The staff were friendly and approachable, a rare find in touristy areas of Italy! The spritzer was refreshing, tasty and reasonably priced. The staff also shouted a round of shots for everyone, which was a nice touch. Recommend for a drink after a long day on your feet in Venice.
Walking near Giardini we stoped in this place to have a drink... We had the bestest spritz from Venice...:)
Very nice and clean place, smiley waiters!
If we will be back in Venice will do a stop here!
I recently took a trip to Venice with my family. When i travel i like to be spontaneous and i try to plan as little as possible. This method always seems to lead to adventure, and stumbling upon Barcollo Modi was the highlight of our Venice adventure. The manager, MiMi, was outstanding. He is a young entrepreneur (only 26) with...

Mission accomplished for Benitez
Date: May 17 2013
Rafael Benitez claims he did not need to win soccer's Europa League to prove he had done a good job during his turbulent six months as Chelsea interim manager.
The London club stunned Benfica with a stoppage-time goal from Branislav Ivanovic in Wednesday's final for a 2-1 win and a second consecutive European title after last season's Champions League win.
With Champions League qualification secure, barring a statistical fluke on the Premier League's final day, Benitez has fulfilled objectives he was given in November.

Prepare your home for spring
Image: Stacey Brandford / Styling: Christine Hanlon
Nest maker, know thyself. Here's how one designer used self-reflection and simplicity to do up her Toronto Victorian.
"There are thousands of inspiring ideas out there," says designer Melanie Hay, referring to the wellspring of online home decor images, blogs and shops. "You can literally research for months. But in the end, the best design is born of self-discovery. The more you understand who you are and how you live, the better the odds that the rooms you create will be rooms that you love."
Melanie should know. When she and her husband, Andrew, an entrepreneur, purchased a tall, narrow Victorian in Toronto's Annex neighbourhood about four years ago, they were two people without a plan – but with about 3,000 square feet of empty space. Needless to say, to a designer like Melanie, this blank canvas meant instant inspiration overload. "My mind was swimming with decorating schemes," she recalls. "Deep down, though, I knew Andrew and I are nesters, and when we walked in the door, we would want to come home to a space that echoes our life stories." This is where her approach to decorating the house started.
But it was not as easy as it sounds. "From the beginning, I had to acknowledge that Andrew and I don't share the same taste," she says. Melanie loves white; Andrew prefers dark wood. Something had to give. The house already had the towering black doors and high-gloss black banister they both liked, so the couple let these details inspire the look. "Plus, we already owned a black and white rug, a round table with a dark top and a black leather Eames chair, so why not use them?" adds Melanie. Red- and peach-painted walls were redone in shades of light and shadow. Such was the start of what is now the home's signature black and white colour scheme.
And a little self-reflection went a long way when it came to deciding what to hang on the walls. "Although we appreciate fine art, personal mementoes that connect us to our families matter more," says Melanie. This realization became the inspiration for the dining room gallery wall. Gathering a few favourite prints, posters and paintings, the designer created a dynamic visual mash-up. The result is a sophisticated yet personal design element. One added bonus? It was totally budget-friendly. "I paired gold-framed heirloom pieces with newer prints in inexpensive white frames to unite the random collection," explains Melanie. And since not many are forever pieces, she adds or subtracts on a whim. "There are a lot of nail holes in that wall!" she says with a laugh.
In many ways, this ever-evolving approach is a reflection of Melanie's creativity. "Unlike the homes I design for clients, which are done in one sweep, my house changes constantly. I've become incredibly good at moving furniture, which must drive Andrew crazy. This house will never be truly finished," she says. "And if it ever is, I'll probably just start over!"
Homeowner and designer Melanie Hay paired her husband's steel-topped dining table with chairs she bought on Craigslist. "I've reupholstered the seats two times already," she says. Right now, they bear a sophisticated charcoal linen that accentuates the dark walls and striped rug.
"It's been a bedside table, an end table and a catch- all," says Melanie of the bar cart she purchased years ago. "Finally, it's a bar!" The cart is low, however, and the home's ceilings are very high. To draw the eye upward, she added a painting and a wall-mounted metal stag bust above it.
Melanie scoured big-box stores for large-scale artwork to act as stand-ins for the forever pieces that will eventually accent her living room. That way, she doesn't have to live with blank walls while she searches for the perfect investments.
The house was built in the early 1900s, but its contemporary fireplace mantel and furnishings achieve an eclectic mix that feels right at home in the space. "If you can't afford to do a house all at once," advises Melanie, "then do one room at a time. That way you can afford to invest in key pieces."
"Decorating one room completely and then carrying that look to the next allows you to really establish a cohesive aesthetic throughout the house," says Melanie, who started with the living room and finished with the master bedroom, which echoes the rest of the home's light-meets-dark and modern-meets-traditional themes.
We've got the scoop on what's popular in bathroom designs for 2017.
When it comes to resale value, kitchens and bathrooms typically give homeowners the greatest return on their investment, which makes them the optimal rooms to update and renovate. As we head into a new year, we asked designers what some of the hottest trends in bathroom design are for 2017. Looks like this is the year to get creative with those bathroom tiles! Check out what seven designers had to say.
Photography: Donna Griffith
1 "Accent walls have been around for a while but traditional accents walls have been achieved with paint or wallpaper. In 2017, we'll see mosaic glass tiled accent walls. From over-sized florals, confetti bursts and subtle damask prints, the small squares of the mosaic glass tile offer a cool pixelated look, tipping its hat to today's digital world. Whether behind a free-standing tub, shower or bathroom floor, the mosaic tile accent wall can add a whimsical wow factor into any bathroom." - Designer, Andrea Haraldsen.
Photography: Stacey Brandford & Donna Griffith
2 "Since bathroom are typically one of the smaller rooms of the house, they are the perfect place to create interest on the floor by splurging on mosaic tiles. Create a border in the room with a larger format of the mosaic inlay. You won't want to cover these beautiful tiles with an area rug, so consider heated floors." - Interior Designer, Tara Fingold.
Photography: Stacey Brandford
3 "A streamlined, contemporary bathroom with wall-mounted toilet and a ledge to house bathroom essentials or display artwork is on top of my dream bathroom list. If you are going to install a wall-mounted toilet, you will need to build out the wall to facilitate the flushing mechanism. So why not make it a design statement and practical feature? Best of all, a tailored, refined bathroom is always in style and will definitely bring in top dollar at resell." - Blogger and Decorator, Tim Lam.
Photography: Angus Fergusson
4 "Graphic floors continue to be a strong trend in 2017. Printed encaustic tiles in beautiful graphic patterns will continue to prevail, but I am also loving patterns created with solid coloured tiles laid in interesting patterns. For example, three colours of the same hexagonal tile laid in a random pattern, or in a pattern that gives the floor the look of an ombré gradient, can create beautiful impact in bathrooms large or small." - Designer, Lisa Canning.
5 "Bold geometric and mosaic tiles in the bathroom have been popular in recent years but a shift to simple and creative tile patterns will gain traction in 2017. While a classic white ceramic tile will never go out of style, it feels fresh when laid in a herringbone pattern instead of traditional subway running bond. Or create chic appeal with solid square tiles in a trio of colours laid out in a trendy yet timeless buffalo check pattern." - Blogger and Designer, Jennifer Flores.
Photography: Phil Crozier
6 "All white bathrooms will continue to be popular as they are timeless and tend to evoke a spa feel that people crave in a bathroom. Introducing lighter wood tones befitting of Scandinavian spaces will continue to be on trend and warm up an all-white space. Mixing metals will gain popularity as homeowners realize they can mix a chrome faucet with a gold or brass mirror and wall sconces to great effect. Busy patterned floor tile will lose its appeal as consumers realize that they will tire of them and they will date very quickly." - Interior Designer, Vanessa Francis.
Photography: Stacey Brandford
7 "Move over subway tile and make room for shapes and geometrics. Whether the shape or pattern is part of the tile or simply created by installing in a geometric pattern, we're seeing diamonds, hexagons, fish scale, chevron, herringbone, ovals, penny rounds and more. Regardless of the tile, basic white, bold colour or natural stone, creating pattern through shape is sure to elevate your bathroom in a classic, yet current way." - Interior Designer, Nyla Free.
We've scoured the Instagram of Meghan Markle, actress and girlfriend to Prince Harry, and rounded up the 'grams that give us a glimpse into her abode.
When she's not playing Rachel Zane in Suits or roaming around London with a prince in tow, Meghan Markle can be found in a soothing Scandi-inspired sanctuary that she calls home. From white textiles to fluffy throws, vintage-inspired accents to vases of colourful blooms, Meghan's created a cozy retreat perfect for playing with her pups, working on her site The Tig, and, presumably, enjoying some paparazzi-free time with everyone's favourite ginger prince.
White sofas, a tan throw, black and white pictures and white orchids keep her living space cool and calm.
One of photographer Gray Malin's cult-favourite photos of a beach hangs on her wall, and the umbrellas in the photo are complemented by the colourful blooms on her marble table.
Marble subway tiles line the walls in Meghan's bathroom.
Neutral walls, neutral curtains and neutral seating is the theme throughout Meghan's home.
Aside from the gorgeous blooms that are placed on many of the tabletops in Meghan's home, beautiful books are also scattered about.
By Meghan's bedside, Grace Coddington's book "Grace: A Memoir," a scented candle and bright pink peonies.
Meghan's love for pretty books and blooms continues—she teams black and white books, photos and accents with cheery pink blooms on a rustic wooden table.
A vintage-looking windowpane mirror lends a whimsy element to Meghan's all-white bedroom.
White furry throws can be found swung across many chairs in her home.
White linens, a simple wooden bedframe, a tan throw and black and white artwork complete Meghan's bedroom.
A gold vintage-inspired mirror, tall potted plants and standard Scandi must-haves lend an eclectic hand to her living space.
Colour-coded piles of books are topped with succulents in her bedroom.
An animal-skin rug and antlers on the wall give this room a Scandinavian feel.
The best part of Meghan's home? Her two roommates: Guy and Bogart.
