30 Fascinating Boho Chic Bedroom Ideas

The adherents of the “Bloomsbury Group”, which formed around the Stephen sisters, Vanessa Bell and Virginia Woolf in the early 20th century, are among the best-known examples. The original “Bohemians” were travellers or refugees from central Europe (hence, the French bohémien, for “gypsy”). Reflecting on the fashion style of “boho-chic” in the early years of the 21st century, the Sunday Times thought it ironic that “fashionable girls wore ruffly floral skirts in the hope of looking bohemian, nomadic, spirited and non-bourgeois”, whereas “gypsy girls themselves … are sexy and delightful precisely because they do not give a hoot for fashion”. By contrast, in the late 19th century and first half of the 20th, aspects of Bohemian fashion reflected the lifestyle itself. The Bohemian style also reflected on the interior design.

N a hill overlooking New York’s Hudson River, and nearly in the shadow of the Catskill Mountains, stands Olana, a home built by one of the 19th century’s most celebrated American painters, Frederic Edwin Church.

Saudi Aramco World : A Treasure House on the Hudson

An orientalist confection in the eyes of many visitors today, Olana in fact traces its inspiration, design and furnishings back to Church’s three-month trip to the Levant in 1868. The resulting tug-of-war between Church’s careful observation and his personal artistic invention makes Olana an architectural landmark of Middle Eastern vernacular set in a New World landscape. The name “Olana” comes from Strabo’s Geography, in which the Greek historian named a fortified treasure house on the Araxes River that flows from Turkey into the Caspian Sea. (Today the river is known as the Aras.) Architect and Artist Tomás Colaço. Camilla Franks: call of the wild.

The Fern and Mossery: Q & A: How to quarantine plants and moss (and why)?

Plants and moss collected from nature or purchased at a nursery can harbor any number of foreign items or organisms that might wreak havoc in a terrarium environment: small insects, mold, mystery plants etc. It is relatively easy to remove problem items from a large-opening terrarium such as a vase, fishbowl or dish. But if you aim to plant a terrarium in an enclosed terrarium or a narrow-opening vessel like a wine bottle, test tube etc. it may save you time an energy in the long run if you can be patient enough to "quarantine" your plants and moss to see if any problems surface before you add them to your terrarium.

Build This DIY Projector And Put Your Laptop On A Big Screen. Please enable JavaScript to watch this video. If you’re tired of crowding around a laptop or smartphone to watch a movie or video clip, this DIY projector will throw it up on the wall for all to see. Plus, it shouldn’t cost you too much in parts at your local hardware store. YouTuber and Instructables user The King of Random put this tutorial together to build a projector screen from really affordable components. MAKE - DIY $3 smartphone projector. Like many young inner-urban cinephiles, one of my best buds does not have a television in her sharehouse.

Sure, there's been talk of buying a projector for watching movies in the lounge room, but I ask: “Why shell out $500+ when you have a tiny computer in your pocket, a box, a paper clip, duct tape and a magnifying glass?” Get Richard Dean Anderson on the phone, because we've found out how to make a projector for under $3. You will need: – A shoebox or small box – A magnifying glass. We went with the smaller one in the end. – A paperclip – A smartphone – A stanley knife – Duct tape – Black paint (optional) Figure out the centre of your box. Cut the hole in the box. Stick your lens in that box. If your magnifying glass – like mine – has a handle that won't screw off and pokes out of the box, cut a little notch for your handle in the side of the box. Tape down your magnifying glass, making sure everything is sealed and no light leaks in.

Crafty little things to sew — SewCanShe. Macra-make a Gorgeous Macrame Wall Hanging. HOW TO: MACRAME DREAMER. 11th February 2014 I’ve been a big fan of Ouchflower for some time now, ever since I discovered Pippa’s tasseled pieces on pinterest and tracked down her website. I was immediately taken with the bright colours and intricate knots, her dipped rope tassels and spiralled macrame had me immediately dreaming of beach shacks and long laid back days. For me, designs like these are so much more than simply craft, they’re pieces of artwork. Every DIYers dream – to have craft that belongs in a gallery! A little while ago Pippa offered to show me how she creates her beautiful macrame dreamers, and you know I jumped at the chance to see her at work.
