We designed a play area suited especially for the child.

The tree cutout quietly blends with the custom made play area that also functions as a storage unit. The color palette used on the walls match the various furnishings perfectly. The hue of the walls and tree cutout pay homage to fairy tales and the art of storytelling. This bedroom is essentially, a page right out of a children’s book.

SUSTAINABLE DESIGN: Award of Excellence PROJECT: Hazelwood Neighborhood Center CLIENT: ACTION-Housing, Inc. ARCHITECTURE FIRM: Thoughtful Balance ENGINEERS: Iams Consulting, LLC; WBCM Engineering CONTRACTORS: Nelcon Construction PHOTOGRAPHER: Denmarsh Photography DESCRIPTION: This building is in the heart of Hazelwood’s main commercial area and has a deep history with the community. The ground level houses office space for local non-profit groups and the upper floor is the new home of the Hazelwood branch of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh. This project allowed the library to double the size of its space, providing a place to gather and come together. The renovation used the Passive House Retrofit Standard, focusing on a well-insulated building envelope with controlled ventilation, optimized passive solar heating, and energy efficiency. JURY COMMENTS: The project demonstrates the potential in creative planning by increasing the useable size of an existing building and reducing the environmental impact at the same time. Metrics matter and this building made a point of demonstrating what the metrics of its sustainable design yielded.

Patrick & Topaze McCaffery - Taproot Garden Design "The soft plumes of Mendocino Reed Grass (Calamagrostis foliosa) soften the edges of the concrete planter. The union of the redwood deck and the concrete planter are seamless and demonstrate that the right materials, used together effectively in design, create a sense of creativity and novelty."

Normally tenons are hidden in mortises, but when the tenon passes entirely through the piece it is joining, it is called a through tenon. Through tenons are more time-consuming to cut, and are one of the characteristics of Arts & Crafts and Mission style furniture. We like to think of through tenons as "visible joinery" and a demonstration of the craftsperson's skill. © Carolina Timberworks

Wall decor for the living room In the living room, you can use a variety of styles of wall paintings, from abstracts to landscapes or portraits. The main thing is to choose paintings that reflect your personal tastes and create a cozy atmosphere for spending time in the room and meeting guests. You can also take advantage of the experience of decorating living rooms of past centuries. For example, romantic landscapes were quite common in interior wall decor. Famous works by Claude Monet or Vincent van Gogh and a whole galaxy of romantic artists were often used to create an atmosphere of dreaminess and lyricism in living rooms. No less popular was the use of portraits as a reflection of social status and family ties. Portraits of the rich aristocracy and family members could be displayed in the living room to emphasize the prestige of the owners. Large paintings of historical scenes or battles also often decorated living rooms in past centuries. These paintings were used as a means of demonstrating cultural or national patriotism. During the Renaissance and Classicism, paintings with ancient motifs, such as mythological scenes or allegories, symbolizing the eternal ideals of beauty and wisdom, became popular. These historical examples demonstrate what types of paintings were traditionally used to decorate the living room in past eras and inspire you to make your choice to order a painting for your living room a good one.
