A classic Oxford Victorian house was brought into the 21st century with a new light filled side extension that dramatically increases the ground floor space and houses the kitchen and dining spaces, moved from the formal front rooms of the house. Alongside the extension and kitchen shown here, our brief was to apply a smart townhouse aesthetic throughout in a refurbishment of the whole property including its bathrooms and its exterior.
SPG roof lights to length of extension.
Folding bifold doors are bespoke painted hardwood with glazing bars.
North Oxford basement extension with curved copper roof and curved stone steps up from a sunken terrace that creates a harmony and flow through a beautiful leafy natural old English garden.
The project opened up the whole basement from front to rear of the house, housing a living area to front, central kitchen, and dining area linking though to the outside garden space. An excavation is made easy and breezy with a careful and considered approach. Light is stolen from all angles to open up the basement, the beautiful joinery doors with header light above, a cunning corner window, and a generous glazed junction of roof lights where the old house opens up to the new extension. A rich reclaimed parquet floor contrasts and compliments a sleek modern family kitchen in gloss finishes to further bounce light around. Copper outside, works with deep iroko hues to the decked area, again adding warmth and softness to the junctions between red brick and its new partners, sparkling white redner reflects light and finishes all with a crisp clean modernity.
reclaimed muhuhu parquet, iroko decking to sunken terrace, sage gloss kitchen with glass tiles, curved copper roof, copper rainwater goods and cappings.
Architecture was devised with Ifor Rhys, main contractor Blackford Builders, and the garden design developed with Rose Lennard of Chameleon Design.
This is a project that fully embraces the beauty of open spaces with warm tones and a gentle touch. Allowing a great deal of light in and giving a quality of scandinavian cool. The brief was to design a substantial ground floor extension that would work in both contrast and harmony with a traditional Edwardian North Oxford house, creating an expansive social space for indoor / outdoor entertaining.
The development of this design was carried out over a long period of consultation with the clients, to get the maximum quality to the space whilst working within a specific budget.
A bespoke roof light running the length of the extension floods it with light whilst reducing glare, the cunning roof design allows for a high vaulted ceiling within planing restrictions. Soft plaster rolls eliminate any harshness, the walls float into the ceiling.
A first floor drawing room and adjoining dining room in Oxford's beautiful Parktown, our brief was to take a quirky approach to these formal reception rooms. Library shelving with media storage was built floor to ceiling in ash with black lacquered edging, a nod to an art deco ethic, and traditional furniture reinvigorated, vintage chesterfields and french occasional chairs upholstered in vibrant colours.
The concept was to marry elements of Victorian charm and contemporary club chic to give a warm, harmonised functional and aesthetic space, crisp and bright, and create a space providing a fitting backdrop for their renowned menu.
Materials include wall panelling, vintage distressed mirror glass, distressed leather, anglepoise lighting.
This North Oxford villa is an absolute gem, and happily we were involved right from the beginning at house hunting phase. A full turnkey project for clients who were living abroad, once we’d found this gorgeous 1920s property complete with its own tennis court and tennis store, we were working against the clock to get plans made up, drawn up and the build realised so that the family could move over. Dream clients were great to work with and trusted in our design concepts from the outset, so working together was incredibly smooth.
Extending and reconfiguring the layout was swiftly worked out, with a new vaulted ground floor extension and linking Orangery, then relocating the kitchen to the garden side of the house to enjoy all that gorgeous south facing sunshine, whilst using the rest of the ground floor layout to create a self contained annexe, a dining room and a grown up snug / movie room. Upstairs we created a new master bedroom suite with walk in wardrobes and a luxurious spacious bathroom, alongside colourful and characterful bedrooms and bathrooms for the rest of the family. The whole of the house was taken apart and re-done to some extent. The ground floor was dug out and a new underfloor heating system was distributed throughout.
A pleasure to work alongside Keith Durham of KD Design as always, his meticulous detailing and careful thought into the joinery elements was especially lovely when realised. Also fantastic to work with with Stuart Barr CDR again for the construction phase to achieve such a high end finish throughout.
The aim, which was so satisfyingly achieved, was to make this a modern family house for 21st century living, and yet retain all the charm and character of its original period features and flavour.
It’s not often you get to work with such great bones as this house has - but its good fun! This interior design commission has developed stage by stage and along the way some really special spaces have been created, augmenting the original features of the house and adding new where missing, such as the bespoke fireplace in the drawing room, a new library room in steely blue, and bronze column radiators throughout. The spaces are so light and connected with the garden that this house can handle colour!
A beautifully peaceful project for an adventurous client.
features: lighting designs from the phenomenal David Weeks Studio, New York, alongside FontanaArte, Catallani and Smith, and Ilide.
Inset stove with black steel frame, floating glass hearth and lime washed floorboards.
Charlotte was asked to design, supply and curate the interior of a show home in Childrey, Oxfordshire just prior to the properties entering the market. The development by Belmark Homes consisted of 4 gorgeous deluxe barns. They are exciting spaces that are well grounded in the space that they occupy with their own privacy to the rear.
The brief was to create an atmosphere of light and colour with a rural formality, existing alongside the great functionality the properties have.
One of the challenges in the set up was that the spaces were very large, open and airy. This made the requirement of filling the spaces relatively difficult, but, with an interior design paint brush that was light and minimal yet colourful and modern, this gave the spaces the right ambience and impression throughout and intimated at a lifestyle flavour that appealed to many of those who visited on the open days.
Needless to say, we are deeply happy with the feedback and thrilled to hear that all of the properties are now sold.
As an appendix, the project also provided us with the opportunity to scale up some of Charlotte's photography to include as part of the overall works. A certain amount of the small painted images were also supplied by Rogue-Designs.
We were asked to contribute a design for the conversion of an out building which housed a swimming pool, into an artists studio that would in its own right, on occasion, be a self contained place. A place for quiet reflection, unhindered by daily noise. In that regard we devised a scheme that applied an oriental quality, a lightness of touch featuring various screening elements – moving sliding and pivoting screens that were part open, revealing elements through. The whole aspect was designed to diaphanous and simple.
A key design concern and driving force was the need (if necessary) to be able to take away the whole interior should the client wish to move on from the property and return to its former state i.e. swimming pool.
The structural aspect coupled with some height restrictions and the requirement for storage space led to a removable box like structure (beautiful in its own right) made from southern yellow pine 90mm section – made into cubes. These formed the sub structure and a floor level, set within the swimming pool itself. Given the height restrictions we managed to tailor the boxes to house storage units or removable sliding floors that could hold paintings. Or art ephemera.
The dynamics were very interesting. We didn’t want the space to be corridor like and so we divided the space neatly into areas with the ability to extend that area via the screens and/or close off areas.
The material involvement was kept to a minimum. Bronze, glass (light), slatted cedar/white wood and flamed basalt.
A paired down aesthetic helped to focus on the quality of the space and kept visual clutter to an absolute minimum.
A key delight for us is the bathroom with the Basalt finish. A Hinoki style bath – with bronze and ceramic structure echoed in the main storage/staircase space, which formed a handrail. A picture window that when all screens are open – becomes an infinity window i.e. the window at the end of the corridor, visible from the studio through the spaces through the rear of the building.
A beautifully peaceful Cornish house, this project has been carefully curated at a reflective pace. Particular emphasis was placed on gentle colours for the first floor sitting room overlooking the creek and fields outside. A diptych of works on canvas by artist Sandra Blow was purchased during a magical visit to her St Ives studio and the paintings are hung for maximum effect. The lighting design for this space features vintage film lights alongside pieces by Arturo Alvarez and Karboxx, chosen for their stunning sculptural and tactile qualities. A bespoke side table in polished concrete and ash was made in our workshop, it emulates a river washed pebble.
On the ground floor a snug living room with fireplace wall in Cornish slate is encased by comfy sofas dressed with bright screen printed cushions by Custhom and lighting designed by Marset alongside the extraordinary Ango World's floor lamp made from silk cocoons. A pair of tables designed and made in our workshop are made from local English walnut and power coated steel. The dining space is simple and understated, lighting by Atelier Arreti and Santa & Cole speaking volumes.
Outside, the ever strokeable stone sculpture 'Blue Backed Angel II' in Ancaster Weatherbed by sculptor Dominic Welsh sits gently within the encompassing landscape. With thanks to On Form for introducing us to this wonderful artist.
We devised this modernist addition to an Oxford home, working with KD Design from an early stage to transform the ground floor space of the property and extend across the back with a slick glazed box in zinc and glass.
Overall the extrusion allowed several rooms to be brought into the same space yet retaining distinct zones for various uses.
All in all, a more dynamic and functional space for the owners allowing a unity of 2 rooms, and creating an expansive connection to the garden.
The exterior was lightly worked with some fringe paving in large granite slabs that allowed a small table and chairs to sit in the garden.
We are very pleased with this project in all its details and we were grateful to KD Design, who we worked with again very closely to help make this a project of real finesse. I think the project speaks for itself.
A sleek modern chef's kitchen in this extension of a Victorian terrace in South Oxford, leading out through oak bi-folding doors to a completely re-vamped oasis of a garden.
features: Lacanche Stove, Blanco Zero, Oak bi-fold doors, SQUINT mirror, architecture devised with Tony Reedman.
exterior: the planting includes aquilegia, foxgloves, many species of grasses, penstemmons, aliums, agapanthus, acanthus, irises, salvia, mathiesella, hostas and verbena, many rare varieties, all grown and sourced from the magnificent Bob Brown at Cotswold Garden Flowers. Vines will grow up the contemporary pergola, providing addition privacy for this town garden.
A great example of a side return that is so much more. Although a lot of North Oxford housing stock is very tall which tends to create dark moments in and around the architecture; working with the RIBA qualified architect Ifor Rhys we managed to organize a side return that incorporated light wells. Picking up on the north light to push light into the building. We built right up to the boundary line with permission from the adjoining neighbour, to maximize the internal aspect of the structure. This apparently has transformed the space and the house inadvertently. The space is bright, light and gives over more space to jackets etc. With the addition of glass in the ex-front door, light now spills into the hallway. The house also benefits with respite from the cold that used to penetrate from around this area. Front and Back doors within the extension keep open, access to all spaces on the property.
The front door was especially made to fit the full width of the return, i.e. as large as possible.
Concrete encaustic tiles from Spain were used in the hallway and the now redundant window at ground height was framed out and made to house shoes. Front designed the jacket fittings. The colour of the vertical cladding really complemented matters. Soft warm grey offset by the geometry and blue of the tiles and with the extraordinary inner hallway tiles creates just that little bit of interest.
Other features that marked out this project: the section of cut out for the bin storage. We cut through a section of railings and sailed the refuse bins out over the lower level of the front garden to tuck them away. They become less visible from the 1st floor lounge and not at all visible from the basement kitchen area. Black metalwork railings were created to fill in the spaces leftover. A traditional English encaustic tile for the front of the property in black and red with a diamond arrangement was used to bring back a note of its past.
Part of complete refurbishment of this beautiful historic five storey property in Oxford's Parktown. Working closely with our client, the brief was to restore and rejuvenate the property, whilst being sensitive to its history and age, taking a gentle approach so as not to lose any of its historical character.
Inspired as 'new' arts and crafts, a bespoke kitchen handmade in solid maple with hand carving and brass detailing, leading to a through living room with relaxed seating and bespoke alcove shelving with carved doors. French doors open on to the gardens, each one with a hand painted mural where the completed picture is revealed when the shutters are closed, of abstracted hellebores in the living room and fennel heads in the kitchen, also used to decorate the illuminated splash backs designed for the project. Lighting is suspended to avoid puncturing the original lathe and plaster ceilings. in the living room, a floor lamp crafted by Ango World is made up of hundreds of natural silk worm cocoons acts as a reading light over a vintage chesterfield daybed upholstered in Marimekko fabric.
Features: handcrafted kitchen in solid maple by rogue-designs, lighting by Album, Secto and Ango World, furniture by B+B Italia and Hans Wegner.
A traditional arts and crafts property, our clients wanted to create a unique arts and crafts bathroom inspired by Peacock House and the colour scheme of the Halsey Ricado tiles there. Ricado was at that time a partner in and designing for the William de Morgan ceramics company, and his work at Peacock House typifies this era. The tiles used are handmade by a ceramicist commissioned to do conservation work at Peacock House.
The beaten copper roll-top bath sits on a slate tiled floor with underfloor heating. A restored vintage hall stand was converted to a vanity unit, and the windows were handmade by a stained glass artist specialising in repodiction and restoration.
A whole house refurbishment for a DJ and fashion stylist couple, this property featured as the cover edition for Living Etc magazine.
Part of a major refurbishment of a run down Georgian property, alongside architect Richard Twinch. Working with Martin Williamson from In-House Design, we designed this beautiful Leicht kitchen that makes use of all available space. The kitchen is subtle, minimal and practical; all distractions are removed with handle-free doors and built in or concealed appliances, lending it a feel more of furniture than many kitchens.
The doors are lacquered in soft matte olive and vanilla, with a cream corian worktop and built in appliances including a gaggenau extractor and Meile induction hob. The kitchen opens up into the new extension space with its spectacular roof light, and double doors link through to the garden.
Bar and nightclub design for Oxford club, the interior was completely stripped out and brickwork exposed alongside its fantastic industrial victorian columns. The bar, made by rogue-designs workshop, is in solid oak, luminous with coloured lighting exposed between the oak strips to the face.
This project was the most enormous pleasure to work on: fabulous clients, fantastic Stuart Barr construction team, we were all on the same page, and you can tell, the end result: totally harmonious! We transformed this rather exhausted granny maisonette, last updated circa early 1950, into a cool spacious apartment, restoring and accentuating lost period features, and re-distributing the space by knocking though a warren of rooms to create an open plan kitchen, living space and dining room at the front of the property (overlooking the park) and cosy bedrooms and bathrooms with clever built in storage and dressing table to the rear. The clients invested their budget wisely, structural work was essential, but also dealing with damp, replacing all the windows - to bespoke box sash double glazed units - and completely rewiring and installing new central heating throughout (to see some of the construction works in progress check our blog here). And the achievement? A lovely space full of flair and charm, they say 'it's AMAZING', we say, a total pleasure.
When international PR firm Agency Brazil decided it was time to set up new offices, we were delighted to help them again. A five storey period property in the centre of Soho, London needed a lot of tender loving care to bring it back to a habitable, let alone a creative space. TLC along with flooring, lighting, electrics and wiring, plumbing and heating, WCs, kitchens, and a whole lot of decorating. As with all commercial fit outs, the key pressures were time and budget, but with all hands on deck by Stuart Barr's team a speedy turnaround and great results were accomplished. From dismal, to delightful. Job done, in next to no time. Nice job too.

The final stage in the complete renovation of this five story Oxford townhouse. We designed and obtained planning for a new Victorian porch in North Oxford Conservation Area, alongside tiered planting beds that echo the bay window of the house and with new thin dutch clay paver driveway in a curving design that creates a subtle flow and harmony. We took the outline of the original porch, recycling and restoring the arched door surround to more than double the interior space, whilst allowing for access though to rear garden.
It also features a specially made iron railing with a rogue-designed motif that adds to an underlying curve-linear design.
Bathroom and wetroom designs with feature tiling, in Victorian encaustic patterned cement, and honed tundra marble.
A complete refurbishment of this beautiful listed building bringing it back to a proper local hangout and a seriously cosy and cool place to be! A long lead in of the design phase, made it possible (just about!) to turn this place around from over-modernised minimal to quirky and cosy charm in just 10 days. With huge thanks to a great team and the support of the all locals and friends of the Dashwood who pitched in to help.
A visualization and dedicated design for the Dashwood Arms.
A contemporary take on a classic bathroom design, with a modern roll top bath, bespoke oak and mirror bathroom furniture from rogue-designs workshop, alcove shelving, designer bathroom lighting, lemon marble feature wall and narrow strip oak flooring.
The design and fit of a bathroom that is one of the main features of Victorian houses. Despite the size of the house, the bathrooms generally all occupy very small spaces; these are just 95cm wide! We managed to create a sleek italian inspired wetroom in one and below, a pretty groundfloor cloakroom. Small can be beautiful.
Established over 35 years ago, the award winning pizzeria Mamma Mia is a huge favourite and a much loved part of Summertown life. A considered and careful refurbishment had to retain all its original character and charm, which we think is mission accomplished, and the whole of the build works were achieved in a stunning 7 DAYS!
Oxfordshire Oak framed eco new build. We were originally drafted in to assist the owners with a lighting design throughout the whole of this new build Oak framed construction. The project was much further on than we anticipated, we are often brought in much earlier in a projects growth. From the lighting we were asked to help with the visualization as it became increasingly more important during the decision making which had gathered pace The 3d visualization of the space, geo located and with real time shadows helped the client to gain a greater sense of its overall lighting dynamics. The fixed lighting for the project was very extensive and very complex as the prominence of the downstand of the Oak beams crafted a broken ceiling, creating dark spots and so,making a brighter more considered lighting plan became ever more important. Recessed curved downlighters were employed to add subtlety to an otherwise busy ceiling. Pendents and some up and down lighters for architectural effect were all used.

Sammy Fabian, left, and the Glendale High softball team defeated Crescenta Valley, 7-5.
GLENDALE — With preseason aspirations of breaking into the top four of the Pacific League standings, Glendale High’s softball team was well aware it would need to pull off some victories versus teams it had traditionally struggled against.
Thursday provided just that situation and opportunity.
Glendale staved off a late Crescenta Valley comeback bid to claim a 7-5 league home win bolstered by a big four-run first inning and highlighted by the fleet-footed talents of Sammy Fabian and the tenacity in the circle of Jordan Lousararian.
“I said at the start of the season, we need at least one or two upset wins and I think this counts as one,” said Nitros first-year Coach Greg Martin, whose squad broke a three-game losing streak against the Falcons, as a May, 2012 win was the first for Glendale over Crescenta Valley since 2005. “We asked [the Nitros] before the game if they had played their best game of the year yet and they all said no.
Glendale (14-5, 6-4 in league), looking to make the playoffs for the first time since 2005, is now in a three-way tie for third place with Arcadia and Crescenta Valley (13-10, 6-4). The Falcons had won six straight before losing four in a row, including against Burroughs on Tuesday in a game for second place and then to Glendale on Thursday.
As for the Falcons, it was somewhat the opposite as a rough first inning, sparse offense outside the heart of the order and some lackluster focus added up to a sour defeat.
The Nitros led throughout, but, with a 7-2 advantage heading into the seventh, saw Crescenta Valley make a final rally.
Walks to Calley Ellingford and Hannah Cookson (two for two, two walks, run and RBI) to begin the inning set up Taylor Hill, who doubled to center to score both runners.
Hill (two hits, hit by pitch, two RBI, run) later scored after Glendale recorded its first out in right field, but an attempt to double-up a runner at first bounced out of play and an umpire conference resulted in Hill advancing a second base to score and bring the tally to 7-5.
But the Nitros had just enough as Lousararian induced back-to-back ground outs with runners at second and third to end the game.
Lousararian went the distance, pitching through trouble in just about every inning, while allowing five runs (four earned), nine hits, four walks and striking out five.
Thus, the sophomore hurler admitted when the final out was recorded, while her teammates were ready to celebrate, she was breathing a sigh of relief.
Fabian, who has hit safely in all 18 games she’s played this season, began the bottom of the first, in which Glendale was trailing, 1-0, with a single up the middle. After a walk by Sarah Brockway and a single to center field by Alex Howard loaded the bases, Lousararian lifted a double to deep left field.
It scored two, with Howard returning to third after it was ruled a ground-rule double as the ball had rolled out of play. Howard would come home on a Rachel Bartamian (two for two, two RBI) sacrifice fly, though, and Lousararian followed suit on a Tiffany Bartamian (two hits, RBI) sacrifice fly for a 4-1 lead.
Glendale finished with nine hits, but was able to manufacture runs, scoring single tallies in the third, fourth and sixth innings.
“We jumped on them early and then we kind of went small ball, cause I knew they could come back,” Martin said.
It was a stark contrast for the Falcons, who stranded nine runners and ended the day with the game-tying run on second base.
Hailey Cookson (two triples, run, RBI), batting leadoff, Hannah Cookson, batting third, and Hill, batting clean-up, combined for six of the Falcons’ nine hits, scored all but two of their runs and had all four of the team’s runs batted in.
Hailey Cookson tripled to lead off the game and came around to score on a single by Hannah Cookson for a 1-0 lead.
Glendale countered with its four-run first, which chased CV starter Kendall Ebert in favor of usual Falcons starter Olivia Thayer, who pitched the final five innings.
A triple by Sydnee Wells led off the top of the second for CV and Wells scored on another triple by Hailey Cookson to cut the score to 4-2, but Lousararian escaped without further damage.
In the top of the third, the Falcons loaded the bases with no outs, but Lousararian battled through.
Every inning was an adventure, with Lousararian retiring the order in the fifth for the only 1-2-3 stanza for either team.
Lousararian walked to lead off the third and was singled in by Rachel Bartamian for a 5-2 lead.
In the fourth, Fabian led off by chopping a single to center, taking second on a passed ball and third on a sacrifice bunt before Alex Howard’s sacrifice fly plated her.
Glendale took its 7-2 advantage when Fabian led off with a walk, went to second and third on wild pitches and Howard scored her again, this time on a groundout.
It was a far cry from the teams’ first meeting on April 8, when Crescenta Valley notched a 10-0 home victory.
For Crescenta Valley, the tone must change quickly, though things get no easier for the Falcons when they host first-place Burbank on Tuesday.

I live in a densely populated beach town south of Los Angeles. This means my gradually expanding resume of car projects is rapidly reaching the limits of my garage and parking (and my wife's normally temperate nature).
Several buddies of mine are in a similar boat: we need space to store and work on our cars. Ideally it would be clean and climate-controlled; in a secure area and have facilities for lifts, air and tools. Maybe a co-op type situation where we all go in on a building and then each pay our share of the costs.
Does anyone know of garage co-ops in South Bay Los Angeles? Any experience with them or advice if we start our own?
I was just thinking about asking this.
Newport Harbor Drivers Club is a private membership classic and exotic car club located in Costa Mesa, California where classic and exotic auto enthusiasts can socialize, work on their cars and share experiences. Garry Roberts, Maestrejuan.
I've been searching for a similar setup anywhere in LA with little luck so far. I'm interested to hear if anybody has any other options. NHD Club sounds a little too social for my needs. I just want a good secure garage where I can work. Let me know if you and your buddies decided to start your own and want another person to split it with.
Let me know if you and your buddies decided to start your own and want another person to split it with.
Will do. Looking around at commercial real estate and there are some good deals right now. We are thinking a co-op/LLC that rents the property and each member does their own thing in their allocated area. Would likely provide shop air, HVAC, and around 15'x20' or so space per lot (big enough to install a lift and tool boxes, etc). All depends on the location and number of people interested. Targeting ~$500/mo each with buy-in (commitment) to the co-op. Would definitely be in the south bay area of LA.
PM me with your email address if you are interested. All very preliminary right now.
Also, think real estate crisis & hard luck win-wins. I.E. ... person is needing to supplement their income and has an extra garage space in a nice & close area they'll rent out.
Thanks, all data points appreciated. We are so congested here in LA, the ability to store the cars and also work on them is key for me/us. The car club provides storage and socialization (both good) but maybe not the freedom to leave a project car on a lift and work on it over a period of weeks or month (maybe with another parked underneith). The by-the-hour garage rental deals have all the equipment (also good) but not the ability to leave the cars there.
We are looking for both: local secure storage and the freedom to escape the family a few nights a week to get greasy.
Here is St. Petersburg myself and two friends rent a commercial space of about 2000 sq. ft. for a very reasonable annual lease. It has 220V service, 18' ceilings, huge roll-up door access, a bathroom and a small "office" which probably uses about 150 sq. ft. We put in our own lift - a 4-poster - and assembled our tools collectively including a shop crane, engine stands, compressor, etc. It's in a commercial strip developed to service small businesses. It's not in a great part of town, of course, but it is all commercial property in the area so security is pretty good security. Given the economy it may be worthwhile looking for something like that in your region of the country.
I’m looking for like minded gearheads to start a diy club near st Pete. Do you still have your space in st Pete?
Not quite in the South Bay but there is a setup perfect for your needs in Baldwin Park, which is a suburb 20 minutes east of downtown LA.
Dream Garage is a DIY garage that has storage options and they have a full complement of tools, including engine hoists and hydraulic lifts that you rent by the hour. You pay the hourly rate and you get to use all the tools they have.
The owner is pretty cool and doesn't nickel and dime you for everything and he even treats food every once in a while when there are a lot of customers there.

Below in the depths of One Kendall Square is a brand new cozy little bar called State Park—the newest venture from the geniuses behind Hungry Mother. Amongst the pinball machines, shuffle board table and 80’s beer signs is a rather large diorama of beach goers and campers at Hungry Mother State Park.
I had the great privilege to be a part of the team that brought this baby to life. Rachel Miller Munzer (owner), Heather Mojer (owner), Christine Rankin (SP architect/interior design consultant) and myself (professional craft maven), all of whom have no real diorama experience to speak of, got together weekly to figure out how to tackle 6ft long space. After hours of YouTube video watching (there’s a million of them), article reading and beer drinking under our belt, we were ready to dive in. Three months later we emerged, hands caked in spray mounted green turf, ready for our masterpiece to be placed into the rectangular hole in the wall of one of the dining rooms.
First we made a very (very) crude test model, at size, so we could plan out where everything would go. The box is less than a 1ft deep which posed a great challenge when dealing with the forced perspective (Heather’s catch phrase).
Christine was a great was a great asset to have around by mocking up schematics to help us work out our depth issue.
Next we stacked sheets of foam, used for insulation, to create the physical landscape. The foam then had to be carved out using a hot wire cutter (is this thing really $40?! Looks like it was made in someone’s garage from cast-off Radio Shack parts). This tool was worth its weight because it made carving foam a dream (when it worked) Thanks Peter Senopoulos!
We then hot glued the pieces and primed the whole thing with black acrylic spray paint. We then blocked out the water, beach, and hillside with blue/gold/green paint.
At my studio, I was painting the back of the box to create more depth (forced perspective) and add a sky.
After all that preparation, we were finally ready to get to the fun part. We spray mounted the landscape and put down grass and sand and added a bank of Play Doh rocks (Thanks Ahuva) Finally our scene was coming together and it was time to add some life!
Early on we had gone to the Malden, apparently the miniature capital of America, to procure some folks that would live in our scene. First stop was the Hobby Bunker, home of military themed diorama splendor. Want to recreate Sherman’s march to the sea? This is your place. Then it was off to Charles RO, which boasts “America’s largest train store”. This place was a diorama gold mine! They had every kind of person we would need; hikers, swimmers, campers and bears! We even got a set of teeny tiny beer bottles.. this thing is going in a bar, after all. Upstairs is a gigantic model train display with 4 moving trains, which only runs on Saturdays* To give us a great deal of intimidation inspiration.
*or any other day if you are David Ortiz and Dustin Pedroia with their kids.
And so into the scene, every one went . There are people swimming, diving exercising, camping, fending off bears, fly fishing, tree climbing, sun bathing and of course getting wasted while fishing in the lake. Heather’s Step Dad made the house for us. And various other people chipped in along the way.
Last piece of the puzzle was to put in the water. We used Water Effects mixed with blue acrylic paint. This stuff is really cool and really looks like water.
Voila! Our diorama was complete. It was very exciting to see it in the wall, lit from the top.
We hope you come in and see it sometime. Have a shot and a beer while you are there. Also the fried chicken will blow your socks off!
Great work. I would love to see it.
wow this looks amazing! i am just starting out and would like to know if there is any websites,blogs, or books you could suggest for starting out hobbyist. Thanks!

My next door neighbour is singing. He does that a lot.
This entry was posted in People, Weird on 21/06/2015 by garymoore.
I’m worried. Well, perhaps worried is too strong a word. Following the Foo Fighters broken leg incident, and the subsequent promotion to next Friday’s Glastonbury headliner for Florence and the Machine, my clash issues (that evening) were pretty much resolved. While I’d have liked to see the Foos, there are bands I’ve not seen before (I’ve seen them a couple of times, Florence too). So we’ve filled-in our clashfinder template (which, at my second in command’s insistence, includes James Bay and George Ezra) with the assumption that the Pyramid stage won’t be a great place on the Friday (or Saturday) evening.
But there’s a worrying gap at the Pyramid stage on Friday. A three+ hours gap. That’s enough for one long-ish or two standard festival length sets. Which is fine if that gap’s filled with something not very interesting. But, if not, there could be long walks across the site. I have serious clashes on the Sunday, so I’d be content if those three+ hours were filled with something that wouldn’t interest me (or, even worse, my second in command).
We plan to wander a lot this year, since we’ve not done much of that in recent years (and wandering’s the best part), so it’d be nice to avoid rushing between stages.
We’re going to make an effort not to make an effort this year.
In that vein, we’re travelling pretty light this year. We have a tent, camping mat, sleeping bag (singular, because you can buy doubles nowadays) and beer.
After Glasonbury, our next festival should have been the (free) Willow festival, but that one’s been deferred a year for somewhat vague (money, I’d assume) reasons. So, Kendal Calling will be our second and final festival this year.

Just watched a Glastonbury highlights thing on BBC4, recent years mainly. I’ve now switched into festival mode.

Today began with a mild hangover. A lie-in prevented anything major.
When I emerged from my sleep of weird, but now long forgotten, dreams, I was greeted by mid-morning sunshine. Which prompted me to take a picture of my zombie garden.
Which is looking much better now that the grass is getting longer. This afternoon, we went shopping for festival supplies.
Five boxes of beer, two boxes of wine and a bottle of vodka should just be enough. Although my second in command will also need supplies.
This evening, I caught up with yesterday’s Graham Norton show on iPlayer; I don’t often watch it, but Cyndi Lauper was one of this week’s guests.
OK, I know she’s had some work done, but she still looks great for 61. And her voice is holding up pretty well too.
I then watched Soaked in Bleach, the film about the days leading up to Kurt Cobain’s death. There was the expected murder/conspiracy theory, with a possibly forged suicide note. But, even if those arguments are discounted, it’s clear that something weird was going on. It’s worth watching.

Another couple of pictures from our time volunteering for 2.8 hours later.
These pictures, and a few others, were spotted by a friend on someone’s Facebook page. I don’t do Facebook, so she asked them to mail me some. The bloke who took the pictures is considering a role as a zombie next year, a great way to spend an evening in my opinion.

Last night ended in the Forth. And this afternoon picked up where I left off.
After some shopping, that is. We bought yet another battery back-up for phones (and some other stuff we don’t need). Well, the Glastonbury ones are Â£25 this year and they only manage one charge. And there’s the queue. So, we’ve bought a couple of higher capacity batteries and have a few older ones left over from previous festivals. There’s the car as a last resort, but I’m confident we’ll not need that.
While on the subject of festivals, is anyone else going to Kendal Calling? It’s only a month away and a festival at a very reasonable price. A whole weekend festival for half the price of the mainstream stuff (you can pay monthly by direct debit too).
And, this year, a great line-up too. Elbow are headlining on (I think) the Saturday evening, which is reason enough to go. And here’s Snoop Dog and the Kaiser Chiefs. Oh, and the Levellers (did I mention that a friend of one of the band killed our TV a few months ago? After a bottle of wine and most of a bottle of vodka. And some weed.) and, really worth seeing, the Lake Poets. But, as much as I love Elbow, and others, I’d go just to see Augustines.
That was me, singing. I don’t sing very well, but I do recommend the band (Mr William McCarthy et al) though; they have serious potential.
Back to Glastonbury now; we won’t be going next year. I’m saying this in advance because I don’t want to be confused with the (many) people who can’t get a ticket, but pretend they weren’t bothered about going in the first place. We’ve simple decided to take a break. We may go again one day, but a gap is needed to avoid something pretty cool from becoming routine. We’re considering Lowlands or Benicassim next year. I’d favour the former, because I’ve been twice before, but my second in command seems to be drawn to Spain (it does sound amazing). Or we may do neither.

After a nice long sleep, I’m completely hangover free. That’s despite a day in York with beer. A civilised day, in quality old pubs, and in the company of old gentlemen; what more could a man want?
This entry was posted in Beer, Out and about, Pubs on 06/06/2015 by garymoore.
My right shoulder is a little sensitive to touch. I fear I’m suffering from mild chain chafe.

Let’s get the obvious stuff out of the way, shall we? Microsoft Word is the most popular word processing software available today. There, I said it. As if I had to.
Microsoft Word is used by the majority of computer users, and the words “Microsoft Word” are synonymous with “word processing”. No two ways about it. The Microsoft Office Suite, of which Word is a part of, is used by approximately 1.2 billion people1 (in other words, one in every seven people on the planet). For better or worse, Word is recognized as the industry standard, by which all other word processing programs are measured.
Microsoft and its products have been dominating the market for years. So, yes, Word is the most popular word processor around. However, the question must be asked: does its ever-growing popularity automatically reflect on its quality? Does the fact that 1 in 7 people use Word make it the best word processor around? Not necessarily…not by a long shot.
When WordPerfect was created in 1979 (a cool 4 years before Word made its Multi-Tool Word debut), it was the most advanced of its kind. In the early to middle 1980s, WordPerfect managed to improve itself, innovate, and zoom past the then-leading WordStar and MultiMate word processors. By 1986, it became the heavy-weight champion of the word processing world.
In the late 1980s, Microsoft Word was WordPerfect’s main competitor, and both companies were putting up a good fight for control of the market. However, WordPerfect was still enjoying the high life of software success.
The pivotal point came in the early 1990s with the release of Microsoft Windows and its increasingly technologically-progressive versions. WordPerfect was delayed in releasing a version of its software which was compatible with the up-and-coming Windows environment – an error which ended up costing them a lot. As more and more homes, establishments, and companies began leaving DOS and upgrading their systems to the Windows operating system, Microsoft seized more control. WordPerfect never bounced back.
In 1994, WordPerfect was acquired by Novell Inc., which hoped to rekindle WordPerfect’s dying flame, and become a worthy opponent for Microsoft. It did not succeed.
When Windows 95 came out, it exploded onto the market. It was a game-changer, and it quickly became the world’s most popular operating system. Unfortunately for Novell Inc. and WordPerfect, Microsoft had made bundling deals with many PC manufacturers, and had pre-installed its Office for Windows Suite (which included Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other office-type applications) on many machines. This caused an even greater shift in the balance of power between Word and WordPerfect. Twenty-two months later, Novell was forced to sell its struggling WordPerfect software to Corel Inc., which has since continued to develop the software as a solid alternative for Microsoft Word.
That is the history in a nutshell.
Marketing techniques and strategies aside, these two programs were essentially created to achieve the same goal: to facilitate ease of use in creating, editing, formatting, and printing documents.
PDF Forms – Turn any document into a fillable PDF form, which the user can then save, email, or export data from.
Macro Manager – Create and edit macros quicky and easily, and manage them from multiple locations.
Mail Merge Expert – Merge a contact list onto printable envelopes.
EPUB Support – Publish eBooks to all major eReaders, including Kobo and Sony Reader.
Enhanced HTML Output – Support for HTML5, including publishing comments and footnotes.
Keystroke Menu – Easy access to settings and commands by typing the first few letters of a feature in the designated search box.
Roxio Secure Burn – Create secure archives which can be transferred to CD, DVD, Blu-ray disc, and only be accessed by users who possess the proper authorization.
Features such as these ensure the user gets the job done faster and more efficiently. The WordPerfect iPad app was also released on the same day as X7. The app allows the user to create, edit, and view WordPerfect documents on their iPad.
The X7 Office Suite supports over 60 file types, including Open Office and the latest Microsoft file formats for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and even OOXML. Aside from the new addition of PDF forms tools, there is also the option of PDF importing, publishing, password protecting, and PDF/A support. All of the user’s PDF needs are met with the X7 Suite, and the hassle of having to spend extra funds on a costly PDF tool are spared from a WordPerfect user.
Standard Edition (list price $249.99) – The standard edition is suitable for the typical home or small-business user’s needs. It carries with it the ability to create documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and more.
Home & Student Edition – This edition is designed for home or school use. Work smarter and quicker with the templates and extras which make up this powerhouse of productivity. Built-in PDF tools and file format capabilities allow seamless collaboration with friends, classmates, and colleagues.
Professional Edition (list price $399.99) – This version is the most enhanced edition of the X7 suite. It includes features such as Paradox database management system, which helps the user track, organize, and compile data.
Legal Edition – The legal edition includes legal-specific features and tools, such as Perfect Authority – a tool which instantly locates, alphabetizes and cross-references citations. Perfect Authority works with citations in Bluebook, California Style Manual, Florida Rule 9.800, and Louisiana Public Domain formats.
The prices speak volumes, considering that WordPerfect does everything that Microsoft does, better, quicker, and easier.
Each version has its own unique features, but what makes them all come together is their user-friendliness. The WordPerfect software is used and trusted by millions of people, worldwide.
What every user needs – whether it is a college student, a senior manager, or a legal or medical professional – is a hassle-free word processing experience. This is what the X7 office suite offers. It is made in such a way that creativity and workflow are not stifled, but are rather able to flow smoothly and provide the finest and most accurate results.
Corel’s WordPerfect Office X7 is by far the easiest word processor I have used in a while. I am used to using Word, and am frequently frustrated with the way of achieving my goal. Many times – if I am creating a document that is more complicated than the average text document – I find myself struggling with Word for control of formatting.
The Office X7's “reveal codes” feature (which has been a staple of WordPerfect since the 90's) is nothing short of a miracle. No more formatting issues. I am going to repeat that: no more formatting issues. Zilch. Nada. Nothing. Bupkis. Tables, charts, images, text – they all flow seamlessly together in beautiful, document-making harmony. And even if there are formatting issues – reveal codes come to the rescue. Something that would drive you up the wall in Word, or another word processor, can be solved in a matter of seconds with X7. Click the button, find the anomaly, drag it out, and continue working.
WordPerfect has changed a lot over the years, but it has been a fortress of security and convenience since the mid-90s versions. When using WordPerfect, I don’t get upset by any of the things which get me all worked up when creating documents in other software. The ease of integrations of various components alone is worth the price of this office suite.
I set out to create an 8-page brochure (4 pages, front and back). This used to be one of the things which I dreaded with Word since I never knew what kind of trouble I will run into. This was not the case with this software. I was done in a third of the time than it would have taken me with Word. Or less.
Here is the thing: some might rightly say that when you come down to it, it is all up to the user. The more savvy a user, the quicker a job might get done.
I am not disputing this. Certainly, knowledge is power, especially when it comes to word processors and software of that nature. It is quite possible that someone who knows Microsoft Word inside and out could do a better job than I did with Word.
However – and this is what makes the difference (as far as I am concerned) – we are not all amazingly tech savvy. We are not all Word wizards. I certainly admit I am not. We don’t always have the time to tinker with a program in an effort to get what we want out of it. Mostly all I am looking for in a program is for it to work with me. That is all I ask.
I want a piece of software that is intuitive and user-friendly. Word has made some advances in that area over the years to be sure. Word ‘97 was a revelation, but it hasn’t done in that department much since. A new “ribbon” interface does not make up for the fact that it can be annoying to create something in that program.
WordPerfect, on the other hand, has constantly been improving its reliability and ease-of-use. I feel it has been doing this consistently because it is outgunned. It is the underdog. Unlike Microsoft – whose place in the pantheon of computing is unrivaled and undisputed – Corel Inc. knows that it has a lot at stake. That is why it still makes a sincere and honest effort to keep its ear open to its users, keep its nose to the grindstone, and keep churning out high-quality software time and time again.
Part of what makes WordPerfect Office so easy to use is its interface. Some may consider it to be a bit old-fashioned, but I thoroughly enjoy it. It is far less busy and cluttered.
The PDF tools are another reason to seriously consider switching from Microsoft Office to WordPerfect. They were for me, anyway. I regularly receive (and need to edit) high-quality PDF documents. With WordPerfect, it is the easiest thing in the world to edit them right there. No need to convert and risk losing the formatting. That was a huge plus for me, and I can tell that it will be a huge plus for countless others as well.
I have heard that other than the die-hard, passionate, long time user of WordPerfect, many of the users who are getting on board are in the legal field. I can see why. That type of environment requires precision and efficiency. Many times there are tight deadlines, incredibly long and complex documentation needs, and multiple changes – of all shapes and sorts – that are made throughout the document. Lawyers, judges, paralegals – I can certainly see how it could be as helpful to them as it is for me.
Quattro Pro is a spreadsheet software which resembles Excel in many ways. It has everything it should have. It contains formulas, charts, graphics, shapes, and basically anything necessary to create a professional financial or other type document. It comes packed with many pre-installed templates which save the user time and energy. Navigating through the workspace is quick and easy, and those who are new to Quattro Pro can choose a more familiar look and feel (Excel or Lotus) to work with.
Presentations is easy enough to use. It doesn’t disappoint or falter, and it gets the job done. After opening the application and going through the different tabs, I found that the interface is pretty straightforward. The master gallery opens on startup which provides the user with many different backgrounds choice.
Like with its sister applications, Presentations gives the user the option of switching between workspaces. In this case, it is between PowerPoint and Presentations workspaces.
Presentations in its X7 version is like many other slide show programs, but it still retains that unique WordPerfect Office feel, meaning user-friendliness and intuitiveness. Even if a user has never used this software before, Corel does everything to acclimatize the newcomer, and make the user feel comfortable. Presentations does a great job, provides accurate and fast results, and is overall a wonderful addition to the X7 Office Suite.
I was very impressed with the WordPerfect Lightning note-creation tool. It is light-weight and simple. It integrates with Word or Wordpefect, allows screen captures, insertion of images, and tables. Several customization options are also available which make the software that much more personal.
Compared to Microsoft’s OneNote, Lightning is just that – quicker and more precise. With note creation, it really is a rule-of-thumb to say that less is more. After all, if I wanted to create a full document, I would use a different kind of software. This is why Lightning immediately captured my eye and my imagination. It gives lots of options without being cumbersome or overwhelming. The (relative) minimalism suits it very well, and makes it a tool that is fun to work with.
It is possible that not too many people will switch over to Corel’s Suite based on Presentations, Quattro Pro, or Lightning. The WordPerfect word processor, however, is one great reason – THE reason – to consider switching over to WordPerfect Office X7.
I took half a point away, since this software could still use a translator. Also, the word count option should be visible, and not necessitate a separate click. Although that last thing is my own pet peeve.
This office suite is not really trying to be Microsoft, nor should it. It is, however, giving it a good fight. WordPerfect Office X7 is a wonderful office suite in its own merit. It has everything needed for a user to be productive, efficient, and on point. Most of all, what you get when you purchase X7 is value, real value, for your money.
There is a downloadable 30-day trial for those who wish to test the software. The download includes the full software package: WordPerfect word processor, Presentations slide show creator, Quattro Pro spreadsheet builder, and the Lightning digital notebook.
For those of you who require not only spell checkers but also grammar checkers, there are two pieces of software that are well-known to the writing world: Grammarly and WhiteSmoke. These are two pieces of software that can help you in your grammar pursuits.

It responds to customer needs and market trends, where handling and management of returns actually generates a lot of extra work, as well as the parcels themselves. The process of returning the products is quick and efficient - customer can do it in just 4 simple steps. Such developed reverse logistics service not only makes life easier for our Partners, but also their customers, and the number of packages posted in parcel lockers is continuously growing.
… just like in Polish claims process. The dissatisfied client registers claimed product on Quick returns website especially designed for shops and partners integrated with InPost parcel lockers which enables to return, exchange or claim the goods to various online stores from a single website, at the lowest price on the market. It responds to customer needs and market trends, where handling and management of returns actually generates a lot of extra work, as well as the parcels themselves. The process of returning the products is quick and efficient - customer can do it in just 4 simple steps.
Customers when signing up, have the opportunity to answer a few additional questions helping the system determine the lockers of a terminal into which their parcels will be dropped. This proprietary solution allows to divide a parcel machine into zones (the number and layout can be customized), according to which at the time of placing the package by a courier only lockers of pre-specified group can open.
Using parcel locker is also not a problem for the visually impaired. In the UK, we have implemented additional voice messages played when a particular screen displays. If the customer is not able to read the content, he can rely on voiced messages.

Auslan to be taught in 26 preschools across the state.
Australian sign language is to be taught at dozens of mainstream preschools in Victoria next year in what is being billed as an Australian first.
The Deaf community has welcomed the rollout and is urging more states and territories to dedicate funds for similar programs.
At Aurora School Community Kindergarten in Melbourne, deaf children and children with hearing are already learning Australian sign language or 'Auslan'.
Together they are becoming effective communicators.
"By the end of four-year-old [preschool] they are able to hold conversations and understand long sentences that are spoken in Auslan," kindergarten director Emily Aisbett told SBS News.
"It is really great, the progression we see over that time."
Children and educators at Aurora School Community Kindergarten.
With dedicated funding from the Victorian government, 26 preschools across Victoria will teach three hours of Auslan a week from next year.
Aurora School Community Kindergarten has been funded to offer a bilingual program. Up to half of its program will be offered in sign language.
"I hope that [the experience] will be authentic, that the young children in the kindergartens will communicate with deaf adults and have contact in the Deaf community,” said the principle of the adjoining Aurora School for Deaf and Deafblind Children, Bernie Coleman.
She said she hopes the children “will recognise that this is the communication and language of a significant part of our community and that they will take it with them lifelong."
The rollout is part of a Victorian government initiative to introduce language programs for children in the year before they start school.
The state government will fund extra staff to teach children the languages in collaboration with existing staff at no cost to parents or the early childhood services.
“So we believe we are in fact leading the nation when it comes to teaching language in our kindergartens."
There is excitement in the Deaf community about the program.
“I feel that it is something wonderful that is happening - that people that are not deaf are learning sign language,” signed a deaf educator at Aurora School Community Kindergarten Anne Benson.
Deaf Children Australia would love to see directly funded Auslan instruction in preschools nationwide.
"I am really excited that the Victorian government have gone ahead and introduced languages in preschool, in particular Auslan,” chief executive Roz Keenan said.
In Victoria, a search for Auslan educators is underway.
"There are certainly some pressure points around finding suitably qualified teachers and educators in the sector,” said David Worland, chief executive of Early Learning Association Australia.
Mr Worland says existing staff at early learning services should be supported during the rollout of Auslan so they feel empowered to assist the children in their learning.
“The more we can do to induct and provide professional learning and development opportunities and provide resources and support to these people is going to be really important to the success of these programs."
Roz Keenan is confident enough suitable Auslan educators will be found.
"Teaching Auslan is a really unique skill and it is best taught by a deaf or hard of hearing person themselves."
"So to find enough Auslan teachers can sometimes be challenging."
"Holding the system back in the past has been the resources of finding those teachers and paying them adequately."
But, she says, "I am sure there are 27 Deaf and hard of hearing Auslan teachers who will absolutely lap up the opportunity to teach Auslan to children".

Istanbul Carpet Week ran from 6-8 October 2016 in the historic city of Istanbul, Turkey. Hosted by the İstanbul Halı İhracatçıları Birliği (IHIB), that’s the ‘Istanbul Carpet Exporter’s Association’ in english, the week – which was in truth a truncated week – coincided with IHIB’s annual Gala and the 10th Annual National Carpet Design Awards and further offered delegates the first ‘Istanbul International Carpet Conference’, purchasing opportunities, and a peek into Turkish design and culture.

Of foremost mention for those of you seriously interested in rugs and carpets is the Istanbul International Carpet Conference and as I write that I know what you are thinking. ‘Dear God(s)! A conference? Is he nuts? Zzzzzzzzzz’ Perhaps I am, but that is a story for another day. As someone who has long favoured a more educated consumer/dealer, the conference offered insight across a variety of topics, some more interesting to me than others, and served to broaden my carpet horizons. It was a rare delight to see an organization such as IHIB, whose purpose is to promote the sale and export of Turkish made wares, organize an event where education played such a prominent and important role. In doing so, the gap was bridged between classicists such as Dr. Hadi Maktabi whose presentation focused on the more esoteric (to modern consumers) Azerbaijani Rugs and, dare I say modernists, such as Carol Sebert of Creative Matters who presented on her success as a contemporary designer working across a variety of carpet media.

Stefano Ionescu spoke eloquently and passionately about 16th to 18th century Western Anatolian carpets which through trade had made their way from the Ottoman Empire into Transylvania ultimately coming to reside as hangings in the ecclesiastical buildings thereof. These so-called ‘Transylvanian’ carpets represent the largest and best preserved repository of rugs of this caliber outside of the Islamic world and provide a look into the methods and style of the past, unaltered by intervening years of wear or repair. Other presentations including those by Udo Hirsch – ‘The Motifs of Anatolian Cult Kilims’, Professor Dr. Hamdİ Ünal – ‘Innovation in Hereke Carpets’, and the award winning Erbil Tezcan of Wool and Silk – ‘Interpreter versus Designer’ offered further insight into subject matter delegates as a collective might usually shy away from. The final presentation, by United States’ carpet dealer Rob Leahy of Fine Rugs of Charleston, scrutinized the changing American marketplace and its role/influence in global carpet trade and production. The conference concluded with a provided lunch and then transitioned to business to business meetings in an adjoining conference hall.

Delegates and attendees seemed to enjoy the business to business meetings at the conference though given the structure and the compactness – each exhibitor having only a small table/booth – it was difficult to gauge an individual company’s product fully. However, and herein is another part of the success of this event, day two (2) offered those in attendance the ability to travel around Istanbul calling upon dealers and makers directly at their respective shops. Instead of seeing only a glimpse as it were, buyers could choose from a firm’s entire selection. This is of course a great opportunity rarely found at large(r) trade shows and is akin to past efforts such as the New York International Carpet Show (NYICS) and Metro Market Week during their early peak years; individual dealers co-operating instead of competing per se.

Istanbul however is more than just carpets. It is a cultural crossroads built literally layer upon layer on civilizations past. For some of the luminaries in attendance it was their first time in such a storied city, while for others it was homecoming. For me, it was an opportunity to look more closely into a culture I knew only from afar, through books, and more recently through dispairing news reports; the last of which discouraged more than one potential delegate and a tentative speaker from attending I must add.
When asked by Chirine Maktabi of Iwan Maktabi: ‘What are you going to do tomorrow before the Gala?’ in reference to free time we had in our schedule – of which there was ample – I responded: ‘I’m going to Istanbul Modern!’, the contemporary art museum in Istanbul. Though I did tour the historic sites of Istanbul extensively thanks to our hotels’ proximal location in Sultanahmet, I wanted to see Istanbul not for what it once was, but for what it is today: the culmination of cultures past and present. Hence my visit to Istanbul Modern which I highly recomend.

I did however call upon a few choice dealers including Kirkit, the shop of IHIB’s Vice-President Ahmet Diler (more on this later), to view his firm’s work which attracted several buyers from both the United States and Europe. Their linen flatweaves – either block printed or plain – have a degree of understated luxury, while their modern wool kilims designed by frenchwoman Florence Bourel bring an updated aesthetic well suited to contemporary homes. In fact, Kirkit’s Dalga Kilims Collection was a finalist at the 2017 Carpet Design Awards at Domotex and so it would seem Istanbul Carpet Week provided an opportunity for savvy keen-eyed buyers to be well ahead of the curve.
The evening of the second day was filled with IHIB’s Annual Gala as well as the judging and presentation of the 10th Annual National Carpet Design Awards. Without tedious commentary, I’ll say much the same for this event as for the entire week: It was organized more or less flawlessly and was a true delight. Muhammed Türk won the design competition with his carpet based on the theme of ‘destruction’ and has now gone on to design carpets for the aforementioned Kirkit which were shown at Domotex 2017 as well.

The final day of the week was presented as either free time or one could opt for a guided tour of various historic sights in and around old-city Istanbul including the world renown Topkapi Palace – formerly home to a long series of Ottoman Sultans and their various and potentially scheming Grand Viziers. Aside from the educational aspect of the tour, it also allowed rug dealers from disparate geographies and cultures to socialize in a casual atmosphere thus building connections and bridging those gaps which foolishly keep us apart. Plus, as a newfound friend of Turkish Coffee, one does not simple pass on the chance to sip a cup with three charming friends from Beirut, Canada, and Germany while overlooking the Bosphorus and the Sea of Marmara. What are we, uncivilized? I think not.

Istanbul Carpet Week and its various events were a huge unqualified success. Information was exchanged, rugs and carpets were sold, and I know at least one US based rug dealer stayed on a few more days to purchase new carpet cleaning equipment. The experience of learning about Turkish rugs and culture and the history of Anatolian rug making, in situ as it were, is perhaps the best way to comprehend fully the nature of the product. Doing so when everyone in attendance is a ‘luminary‘ of sorts as Carol Sebert would describe it, is unmatched by most contemporaneous efforts to sell carpets and for that alone IHIB deserves praise.
One final note of excellence: The presentations during the Istanbul International Carpet Conference are summarized and available for reading in IHIB’s annual publication ‘Alive’ which only serves to reinforce my belief in shared as opposed to proprietary information.
The second annual Istanbul Carpet Week is scheduled to take place 1-4 October 2017 and I consider it a ‘must’ should your schedule permit. More information can be found by visiting IHIB’s website.
Disclosure: The Ruggist participated in Istanbul Carpet Week as a guest of IHIB with organizational assistance provided by Hali Publications. Like many of the delegates and attendees my airfare, accommodations, and tour costs were covered by IHIB.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To precisely reproduce a weak signal included in an input signal without requiring N independent noise sources and without applying noise to N input signals.
SOLUTION: A signal reproduction device for reproducing a weak signal as transmission information by a stochastic resonance phenomenon from an input signal, where noise is superimposed on the weak signal, includes: nonlinear elements ＮＬ1 -ＮＬN for receiving N (N is a natural number of two or greater) received signals R branching to N branch linesＬ1 -ＬN and outputting nonlinear output signals ＮＬＯ1 -ＮＬＯN ; N delay elements Ｄ1 -ＤN for delaying the respective nonlinear output signals by respective different times; and a combiner 10 for combining delayed signals ＤＳ1 -ＤＳn output from the delay elements Ｄ1 -ＤN . Noise components included in the delay signals ＤＳ1 -ＤＳn into which the respective nonlinear output signals are delayed are very little correlated, but weak signal components are much correlated. A delayed composite signal DA is an amplified weak signal with the noise components removed.
